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

Mon Nov 29 10:01:49 CST 2010

Remember though  what gives the TK 60 and some of the   UK cameras "that  
distinctive look" are the  Taylor Hobson  (almost added Cooke but that was  
from an earlier era...)lenses on the  front. They are large,  they have 
really cool lens hoods,  and none of  my other US stuff looks  like it.   There 
is nothing cooler  than a fully loaded and  hooded  60 turret!

They also made some longer than 8" lenses  that are cosmetic matches  for 
the  2,3,5,and 8" you usually see.  I WANT SOME OF THESE. Also  there is  
some shorter than 2" (35mm)  I would like one of these  too.

Thanks,

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,
