I am amazed! I was Bruce Martin aka Keith aka Jonah, and I thought all the Edge footage from 1970-71 was lost. It was live, and I was told only kinescopes were made. However did you come across this footage? If more is available, I'd really appreciate having a contact. Please respond to kaelminsl@yahoo.com. Thanks!
Technically, this was not even the entire theme. The part heard here is followed by an instrumental part, and then a second ending. I had a rare opportunity to hear both in the same closing.
Orginally, this theme was first used over the original color visuals, roughly a year into Edge's transition to ABC.
@soap1919jt Yes, it is technically the full lyric theme. On the rarest occasions when there was more running time, the music director edited in the instrumental version to extend the length, but it was not part of the original composition. At least once, the song played through to the end and restarted again, similar to the longer versions of Dark Shadows' end credits.
Luv it! Hearing this is particularly special to me, since we're transitioning from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time, and it's beginning to get darker earlier. This was my favorite of the EON themes: so pretty and haunting.
WOW! Excellent! Great clips all especially from the early 70's. Would be so great to see these eps or key scenes on YT: When Otiis and Vinnie held up the New Moon and shot at Johnny; Morlock's confession; scenes with Laurie and Jonah/Keith;
Fabu as always. Your videos are the awesomest on all of YT. Can y'all name the years and put the scenes in context for us who didn;t see all this stuff? i double dogg dare ya!
Cookie, Ron, Vic, Tiffany,Nicole, Martha, Kevin(the 1st), Laurie Ann and Keith(aka Jonah Lockwood) ALL in this wonderful tribute. Heaven has come to earth. Thank you, thank you, thank youi. Now if the entire episodes featuring those vintage characers can be seen too, well, sainthood is in your future!
This is wonderful! I love the closing themes this show had in its last decade. Very haunting. Even the disco theme works wonderfully. These clips are a truly rare treat.
I've never seen Richard Shoberg on this show, so that was a nice treat. And how jolting to see Sam McMurray, one of my favorites from the Tracey Ullmann Show.
@CarlD2 Well, I am having a hard time getting into yet another Frank (Geoffrey Pierson), but I am enjoying Felicity LaFortune. I loved her on All My Children.
saynotoursoap . . . Thank you so much for posting this piece of some of the finest programming in daytime history!! Awsome, excellent, stupendous, magnificent!! I was a kid when these classic episodes ran on CBS. I barely remember them. Wow, and the music is sooooo appropriate. It really captured the flavor that really sustained The Edge Of Night's unique texture. Even 26 years after its cancellation. Thanks so much for posting!! Bravo, bravo!!
@rhsharp I second and third that! Would especially love to see more of those complete episodes from the first half of the 1970's, and the first two years the show was on ABC!
Wow, I missed this entire show but would love to see it now! Too bad these classic years from all our beloved serials are not available to be run again somewhere, somehow. An ASTOUNDING waste!
@TimsDale4ever They say hindsight is 20/20. The networks realized much too late what a mistake they made wiping and reusing video tapes. If P&G and networks in general had realized what they had, they would've made a point of archiving ALL soap opera episodes. The fact that any episodes prior to 1979 exist is a miracle itself. It is truly sad that 'we' will more than likely never get to see these shows again since many of those broadcast no longer exist at all.....

Is that Keith Whitney with Laurie Ann Karr at 1:07? If we could see that entire episode ........ you would make a lot of fans happy.

@CarlD2 I also was surprised to see Richard Shoberg. I am currently watching Sam McMurray as Wes Leonard in Ryan's Hope 1983 on Freeflyur's channel.
