According to Mr Tommy Karlsson in "Guitar 60" the opening number was "Moonshot".
It was The Spotnicks' version from their first album "The Spotnicks in London".
Now you can get a new version of this album with 16 bonus tracks at Amazon.
:D

Looks like this rythm player was long to come on stage !

Another version of the same Spotnicks' tune, played by the French band "Apollo 11" and their famous space suits at the Surrey Shadows Club in november 2012 :

I believe this tune first saw the light of day in 1961 under the title 'Gunshot'.
It was written by guitarist George Tomsco and recorded by his group The Fireballs.
A Norman Petty recording.
