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>
Steve<br>

<div>Thanks for telling us about your experience. Do you recall
who the D.C. director was? </div>

<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"

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>For photos, Mike Mitchell recently made a ton of $ on his
shots at that concert:<a moz-do-not-send="true"

It brings back great memories to wander through your
thread...</font><font face="Tahoma"><br>

We couldn't hear the director over the crowd. We
couldn't hear the Beatles.<br>
<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
out some of the crowd noise. </font><font

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