[QuadList] The Beatles, Washington D.C. 1964

Wed Nov 17 11:31:38 CST 2010

No issues with the video quality, considering what a massive upgrade this is from the kinescope copies that have been in circulation in the collector's circuit since the 80s.  The kines were missing most of "Twist & Shout" and "Long Tall Sally" entirely.

Indeed David! I enjoed it!  thanks   for the details!...    It is great just to have this! Thanks! 
Ed, 

I don't know who's truck it was. I have an email into Ron to find out if he knows. Also, I would presume that the VTR was in the truck, and not microwaved back to some record VTR in a station (as in WRC doing the pickup and feeding it back to their station). The video is not that sharp if I recall correctly, meaning it did not look like the higher quality TK 60's or Marconi's. But, if you are in any way a Beatles fan and can toleratse the audio problems, then you should be OK with the video quality as well, in my opinion.
