The Smiley Smile Message Board

I bring this topic up once every few years because, well, I just remember it every so often. I know that I used to have a videotape of a TV airing (perhaps in syndication, I don't think this was a HBO or Showtime thing, but I'm not sure) of the BB's July 4th, 1985 show in Philadelphia. This was the show that featured "guest" spots by such luminaries as Jimmy Page, Mr. T, Joan Jett, and I think the Oakridge Boys.

I had this show on videotape from when I originally taped it off the air, but lost it probably 10-15 years ago. I've never run into another collector that had this show on videotape. I've found a few people who remember it being aired. A few years ago I found somebody who said they had it, but I never heard back from them. I know a radio broadcast of the show is common fare among collectors, but even collectors with huge lists that I've seen don't seem to have this show on videotape, and relatively few seem to remember much about it being televised. So, does anybody here have it, and if so, can you help me out? It's not that this particular show was that great (the Mr. T thing seemed kind of funny at the time, then years later it seemed kind of pathetic, and now I kind of find it funny again), and I remember that Jimmy Page seemed totally wasted at this show. I still have on videotape a little news report of the show from "Entertainment Tonight" or something, but that's about it.

Anyway, if anybody has this on videotape and could help me out, that would be great. :) My e-mail address: heyjude160@hotmail.com

you still looking for this???

Yes! I've sent a personal message! Please feel free to PM back or e-mail.

Brian was there but I didn't become a fan until 88 (from AAB not Kokomo) so I don't have it.

I thought Brian was only later in Washington on stage?  ???

You may be right Beach Boy. I forgot that there were two shows that day.
