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

[bill.spencer at northstarstudios.tv]

Having had responsibility for seven TK-60s for several years, it
definitely looks like same to me.  I had several with lens turrets like
the one in the video.  It also looks to me to be an NBC logo on the side
of the camera which means it could have been WRC's truck.  The video
also has the look of a 4.5" IO tube and we frequently set them up
without the corners showing.  The bi-alkali tubes did not come out until
about 68 so the video resistance to burn-in from the spots and flash
bulbs shot straight into the lens lean toward 4.5" tubes.  

 

I enjoyed watching it even with the bad audio, but having done a lot of
live productions you know it is not going to be like the studio.  I was
interested in watching the reaction of the local stage hands when the
boys started moving some of their stuff around.  They were also wearing
suit and tie which no self respecting stage hand or roadie would be
caught dead in today!  Some of the police were amused by the reaction of
the kids to the Beatles, but many of the people who were staff at the
Coliseum seemed perplexed by all the commotion.  The photogs from the
papers and magazines kept their usual poker faces as they did their
thing.  With all the pictures being taken that day, there should be some
other visual evidence of the TV cameras presence and resolve the
question once and for all.

I looked at the video and found the camera at 22:19 into the show.  I
can not recognize it. It may be a marconi or a nother brand.  It does
have a simnilar look to a TK-60 but not emough.  Any thoughts?

It's good to see that the Washington Concert has been finally released.
The one and only 2" original was reproduced here at DC Video in 1996 by
myself with Apple film archivist Ron Furmanek & transferred to D2. Ron
had recently found and acquired it at the time for Apple. The 2" tape
had three segments, all physically spliced together. The first was
Lesley Gore, the second was The Beach Boys, and the third was The
Beatles. The first two segments were chosen to be recorded at NBC
Burbank because of it's color capability. The Beatles was recorded on
location. The Beatles was supposed to have been a color remote, but at
the last moment, that was shelved because of problems with the new hand
held color cameras. This production was meant for closed circuit
distribution only. It has not been seen in it's entirety on videotape
since.

 

The tape played well, with only one head clog, which we retransferred.
The audio was distorted on The Beatles performance.

 

The original tape was found by Ron Furmanek after a lengthy search. Much
credit is deserved by Ron for the additional information provided about
this program and for his efforts with this and other Beatles projects.

 

I've held off commenting further about this tape for months as per a
request from those involved. I have since been granted a request for
this post.

As you know, the Beatles music is finally available on  iTunes. As a
gift, you can watch the D.C. concert for free. And it is the VIDEOTAPE
version, not the kine.

Best,
