From "The Olde Disk Jockey's Almanac" by Bob Dearborn (former Chicago DJ).
On this date in 1958, Alan Freed held his "Big Beat Show concert at the Public Hall. It featured quite a lineup of rollers: Buddy Holly & the crickets, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Danny & the Juniors, Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, Diamonds, Billy & Lillie, Chantels, Dickie Doo & the Don'ts, Jo Ann Campbell, Larry Williams, Ed Townsend, Pastels and Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
Talk about getting more bang for your buck.
However, there were several of these performers that I did not know about, so had to do some more research on them.
I started with Dickie Doo & the Don'ts. There was just something about their name that demanded further research.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
