[QuadList] Everly Brothers

[bill.spencer at northstarstudios.tv]

Here you guys go making me know how old I am again!  I was at the Everly
Brothers tapings in 1970.  I met the tape recordist/editor, but can't
remember his name.  I do remember that he only had two fingers and a
thumb on one hand which was enough to lock the reels and push the
buttons.  All I saw in the tape room were VR-2000 machines.  This series
is sitting in some vault on quad and should be recovered if it hasn't
been already.

An interesting side note on the Tina Turner episode was that they had
her and her backup singer/dancers do a number over several times
claiming there was a technical problem.  After the fifth take she
stopped and looked at the camera and said, "There ain't nothing wrong
back there, you just want to see us dance some more!" and refused to do
it again.

That summer I met Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash, Bobby Vinton, Bobbie
Gentry, Tina and Ike, and, of course, Don and Phil Everly plus many
more.  I met almost as many celebrities at the World Cup showings at the
Forum that year. The summer of 1970 was quite special for me!

I wish I could have been in St. Louis with you guys.

The Everly Brothers Show was on Ampex Type A Format. I rebuild the Ampex
VR7800 for Film Technology and played back the first two tapes.
Al Strum modified a Ampex TBC for the playback of the Ampex VR7800 for
Film Technology. You can Call Zack Fink @ 323-464-3456 X26 for the rest
of the story.
