Buddy Holly on Arthur Murray Dance show

Saw this video on Youtube. Great footage of Buddy Holly on a fuddy duddy show. Interesting how the show is a dance show but the people in the background are standing there like mannequins. This is from the author's description.
"Buddy Holly and the Crickets made an appearance on the Arthur Murray Dance Party on December 29, 1957. It was unusual to see a band like the Crickets performing on the show. This video includes the complete introduction by Kathryn Murray. Another interesting note- This footage is used on Dick Clark's American Bandstand compilations. Clark claims that the footage of the only appearance that Holly and the Crickets made on Bandstand in the fall of 1958 was destroyed in the 70s. They performed "Heartbeat." It's a shame that the footage was destroyed because it was Buddy's last appearance on TV before his death."
On a side note, in the farmer's field where the plane Holly (and the Big Bopper and Richie Valens) was in crashed, a month afterwards Holly's gun was found. This led to false rumors that the pilot had been shot. Big Bopper was thrown from the plane and that led to speculation that he lived and managed to walk away before he died. A few years ago his body was exhumed (he was buried in a 16-gauge steel casket in Beaumont, TX). A forensic autopsy determined (all his bones were shattered) that he was indeed thrown from the crash site but had not lived after the crash.
