Paul McCartney, who is a huge Buddy Holly fan (The Beatles were named in tribute to the Crickets), used to hold an annual "Buddy Holly Birthday Party" in New York and would always showcase this film during the party.
Also according to Busey and Director Steve Rash, the scene at the roller rink after the band's first rock number in which the extras clapped and cheered was an unexpected reaction to their performance. As you can see in the film, Busey, Smith, and Stroud sort of lose their place and start nervously laughing.
