      <br>
      Great to hear from you.  Thanks very much.  <br>
      <br>
      Tele-Tape and Marconi make sense.  I'd forgotten their name, but I
      worked several other remotes for them, including baseball.  And I
      started to suggest last night that the camera backing through the
      shot near the end of the tape might be a Marconi.  I think the
      closing credits showed Lee Tannen for the DC portion...but, I had
      been unable to remember his name.  <br>
      <br>
      I don't think there were any "portable" color cameras, if by that
      you mean handheld.  Ikegami had a handheld b/w camera but it would
      be early 70s before they had the HL-33.  The first RCA color
      handheld was a TK-41 broken into two pieces, first created by
      customers of RCA and then manufactured by RCA themselves.<br>
      <br>
      Regarding the photo, are you comfortable sharing it one-on-one?<br>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>

      </div>
      <div>Thanks for telling us about your experience. Do you recall
        who the D.C. director was? </div>
      <div><br>
        <div>Several months ago, we all tried to guess the remote truck
          that did the show. The thread eventually died and no further
          discussion continued. However I received a private photo of
          the concert not too long ago but I've been unable to post it
          due to possible copyright infringement (I'm working on that
          issue). The cameras in use were from Tele-Tape and were
          Marconi's, very similar to or the exact ones as viewed here in
          other Tele-Tape photos: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kennyalexander/3966892126/in/photostream/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/kennyalexander/3966892126/in/photostream/</a>.
          I believe this company went on to become Reeves-Teletape
          (perhaps). </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I was told that the D.C. concert was not recorded in color
          due to a "shortage of portable color cameras", presuming to
          mean RCA TK 41's as nothing else really existed (perhaps GE PE
          25's?). The NBC Burbank sections of the closed circuit feed of
          Leslie Gore and The Beach Boys could have been color but
          instead were black & white to match the D.C recording.  </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>For photos, Mike Mitchell recently made a ton of $ on his
          shots at that concert:<a moz-do-not-send="true"

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

                  <br>
                  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

                  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.<br>
                  <br>
                  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.<br>

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