The fifth and penultimate in the series, with Buddy Holly and the Crickets touring England appearing at the London Palladium, and visiting the Soho nightclub, Whisky-A-Go-Go.In the US, the group is enlisted in Alan Freed's 'The Big Beat'. Fourteen acts were billed along with the Crickets, including Chuck Berry, Danny and the Juniors, the Diamonds, Jerry Lee Lewis, Larry Williams, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Billie and Lillie, the Chantels, the Pastels, Jo Anne Campbell, Ed Townsend, and Frankie Lymon, along with the Alan Freed Orchestra. Buddy Holly combines with local country star Waylon Jennings, and commences his whirlwind relationship with New York music-business receptionist Maria Elena Santiago, while he and the Crickets continue into their increasingly successful musical career. Buddy and Maria explore New York together and holiday in Acapulco with Jerry and Peggy Sue. Buddy and his group join General Artists' ten day 'Summer Dance Party' lightning-fast tour of upper Midwest stopovers visiting Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Minnesota and Iowa. Local acts from each city opened the show, followed by a four-piece, saxophone-blowing, Western-swing band.Buddy, Jerry and Joe appeared on American Bandstand, in Philadelphia, performing 'It's So Easy' and 'Heartbeat', lip-synchronised, in front of the cameras. Buddy Holly and the Crickets were easily the headlining act in Freed's 'The Biggest Show of Stars for 1958: Fall edition'. Also performing were Frankie Avalon, Dion and the Belmonts, Bobby Darin, Clyde McPhatter, Jimmy Clanton and Jack Scott. Some of the acts met up and split away in certain cities within the flexible show itinerary. Those more transient singers were Eddie Cochran, the Everly Brothers, Paul Anka, Connie Francis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ritchie Valens and Frankie Lymon.And next came the 'Winter Dance Party'.
