Los Angeles, 16mm Film

This color 16mm film is marked as “ORIG” and was used as the master reel for reproduction. The reproduced reels were black and white and sold through music magazines in the mid to late 70s. This film is shot from a single vantage point.

As time went on, the filmmakers got very innovative and positioned themselves at different vantage points throughout the arena. They would then splice their multiple angles and create a master and reproduce it for sale. They filmed San Bernardino 6/22/72 (B&W), LA 5/31/73 (B&W), LA 3/25/75 (B&W), Seattle 3/21/75 (color), and LA 6/77 (color).

The second picture features both the 8mm and 16mm reels, with the original 16mm box.
