In this clip you will see a variety of video effects, a lot using multiple tape machines running in sequence, this would not have been a live piece but would have been pre produced onto 2" quad tape and then just inserted into the show.

That some of you people can find video footage like this will never cease to fascinate me. I saw this on TV as a kid. That there are people who remember this show is really something. Thanks for the childhood memory.

+J Lee Cline And now the majority of the participating voters at WXPN, Philly voted '69 the greatest year in music in the modern era(I voted '67, but that was No. 2--no years beginning with a 2 in the 20 in the survey).

This was one of those television moments that I never forgot, even without seeing it for 40 years. It only aired that once, but what a lasting impression they made! This video was absolutely amazing--the best of all the great sequences from "The Music Scene." If you weren't a fan of Three Dog Night before this aired, you were converted that night...'cept for my grandmother who said they were too loud! (We love and miss you, Cory)!

After looking at Music Scene videos here on KZfaq, this and other pre-recorded performances do look like the FIRST MUSIC VIDEOS, while bands performed LIVE on stage. This three dog night clip, and the other music scene clips, were the "first music videos" before there was such a thing as MTV in 1981

I believe it was ABC network that played this show back to back with a show called "The New People". ABC seemed to experiment with a concept of having two 45 minutes shows in line, they dropped this experiment and i don't remember any other network trying it. They were a great group!
