[QuadList] Free 90-minute Quad Everly Bros. show Wednesday night at UCLA's Wilder Theater

[C. Park Seward]

I was able to attend the viewing and enjoyed seeing the great work  
Randy Yantek did on the videos. I had worked with Randy at KABC7 and  
enjoyed talking to him again.

The video came from 1" type "A" and were a combination of timecode  
burns and off-air recordings. Some were found in the ABC dumpsters.  
Audio was good but video not so good. Quality went from poor to OK.  
Too bad because some of the performances were great. Neil Diamond,  
Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Tina Turner and some great  
songs from the Everlys.

The original 2" masters cannot be located. These Type "A" tapes are  
all that live on.

They used some early Vega wireless mics so the brothers could walk  
around while singing, not planted at that one mic we so often saw them  
perform.

The director, Marty Pasetta was there and gave a short intro. The 10  
episode series was shot in five weeks. Interesting use of construction  
scaffold as set pieces. It wouldn't be allowed today without fall  
restraints. Imagine Neil Diamond 12 feet in the air and one foot from  
the edge with no railing. Yikes!

Four PC-60 or 70 cameras, one on a crane.

Best,
Park
