[QuadList] Fwd: Re: The Beatles, Washington D.C. 1964

[Steve White]

Gentlemen,

It brings back great memories to wander through your thread...

We couldn't hear the director over the crowd.  We couldn't hear the Beatles.

I was part of the crew, hauling cable and setting up camera positions, 
but primarily setting up microphones and audio cables.  You're right.  
It was put together quickly and felt more like a wrestling remote.  That 
may even be me on the floor to the right of the camera in this shot of 
the ring/stage.  Notice the cameraman is trying to press the headset to 
his ears to block out some of the crowd noise. And, yes, many wore 
jacket and tie.

Beatles '64


Any chance you can point me to someone with stills from that night, 
especially of the crew and facilities?  We were pick up crew.  I was at 
WTTG at the time and some of the guys were from WTOP, I think.  I had 
also worked at WTOP as "director trainee" for awhile when I first got 
out of college.  I cannot remember the name of the production company 
that hired us, but suspect they're long gone.  I don't remember whose 
truck it was.  I don't think it was TTG's.  It may have been TOP's.

I did find the video and did see the camera being pulled back through a 
shot near the end.  That may have been the one I was tethered to as 
floor guy.  Do you think it was an RCA?  I'm not sure.

I'm looking forward to watching the documentary on May 22nd at the 
Strand Theater in nearby Rockland, Maine.

Thanks,
Steve White
