You can feel that times were better and we were more human

As a month of typing this it’s almost 40yrs to the day of airing..Time,slips so fast thru ur fingers..And who’d a thought Keith Richards would still be alive..And planning another tour!

I turned 14 on this day. Thank you.

The local announcer on duty for the night, as is made obvious in the audio track, was the legendary Don Pardo.

Part two of the first ever network television interview with Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. A World Premiere Video from Imagination. Plus Van Halen. Duran Duran. John Cougar Mellencamp. Alan Parsons Project. Cameo. Ozzy Osbourne. And Paul Young.

Nice! My beta only can do Beta II and III speeds.

@@ntsecrets I had/still have my Toshiba branded beta VCR. I believe it still works. Mine could only do mono. I'm not jealous of the hifi and super beta or anything🙄. Cheers!

@@thudtheace I’ve get to get to a tape recorded in hifi or super beta!

Any chance I could get the unedited video of this? I have other episodes I can trade. I'd like to do a restoration - but as is, there isn't enough here of the intros, outros, and transitions to work with.

@@ntsecrets Perfect! Thanks so much. Interesting that The Cars video is the version where he pulls his face off at the end, 2 weeks before this episode they aired the alternate ending where he doesn't. I've posted my videos to archive - direct links to that site tend to get blocked here, but a search for Friday Night Videos should find them. Let me know if you need more help finding them.
