Rolling Stone...The 10th Anniversary - "A Day In The Decade" (1977)

Views: 7275

Here's something that's pretty awful and bizarre, a segment from the Rolling Stone 10th Anniversary special - a Beatles tribute medley called "A Day in the Decade". It goes on for over 14 minutes, and mercifully perhaps the person recording it decided that was enough. (I think it was almost over anyway)

Local Trivia Note: This special was stereo simulcast (simulcasted?) in the Chicago area on WBBM-FM 96.3.

This aired on local Rockford, IL TV on Friday, November ...

Views: 1563

Finally - some Spectrum footage! (Sorry, OnTV fans...) Here's the ending of the film "Diner" followed by a Spectrum ID and Intermission animation with the beginning of "Cleveland Smith Bounty Hunter"

Not sure when this aired exactly, but the movie Diner came out in March of 1982, so I would imagine that this wouldn't get to Spectrum until 1983, no?
