Reelin' In The Years youtube channel has recently added some pop performances from a videotaped colour outside broadcast called 'Operation Entertainment' staged for US military troops. Sound and picture quality are excellent!
Wikipedia states that there were 31 x 52 minute episodes. What's the betting they all survive?
Dusty Springfield performs a great live version of 'Soulville'
Lulu: 'At The Crossroads' / 'Boy'
The 5th Dimension - Carpet Man/Stoned Soul Picnic/Up Up & Away Kenny Rogers & The First Edition- Just Dropped In

There's a decent chance that a substantial number might in one regard- Operation Entertainment was a production of Chuck Barris (of more prominence in the United States for his game shows), and by the time this program came to the air he was preserving other programming he was producing for prime-time for its later syndication value. While there doesn't seem to be a complete inventory of what's in the Barris vaults, the fact that he was preserving other work makes it more likely, and the clips that have been made available (the ones linked to here are from at least three different episodes, and there are ones from a couple of other episodes also on that channel) further seem to demonstrate this. |

They probably do exist... in general, the vast majority of American TV shows from that time period exist if it was a prime time show (Which this was)... wiping prime time shows was mostly a BBC thing, the only thing that got wiped in America back then were soap operas, game shows, and talk shows. There are exceptions, of course. |

There are exceptions, of course. It seems most American TV was made to by syndicated in one form or another. Even Gameshows eventually gained a channel like Challenge to repeat them. I heard Jonny Carson insisted all his shows were kept when he found out many of the editions from his early years on The Tonight Show had been wiped, expect for some shows deemed classics & clips kept for best of compilations. |
