My Guess Is That The Music Of It's Instruments Is That This SSB Rendition Could Be Done By Mannheim Steamroller.

Am I the only one that's reminded of the Enclave Radio from Fallout 3 whenever I watch this?

Thank you so much for posting this video. Many a night I stayed up light during summer vacation watching tv. I've always loved "High Flight".

This was broadcast the year I was born. I had no idea that TV stations still signed off as late as the 1980's... this is the first time I've ever seen one of these. I think by the time I was old enough to stay up late, they no longer existed.

Anyone reminded of Poltergeist?

[RCaIabraro]

This must be the "A Clockwork Orange" version of The Star Spangled Banner.

[RockyMM]

@RCaIabraro My thoughts exactly. As it was played on Moog :D

[RockyMM]

Makes me wondering if there is a link for this version of the anthem.

[TheRenard10]

I want this clip burned to dvd...how can i? I still need internet back on my laptop.

[SuperMrLeal]

This sing off was in early 1982 or in late 1982

[Ricky2400]

I sure remember this. As the announcement was for "Super Friends" at 7 am, it had to have been late Friday night/early Saturday morning. The ABC Television facility/KABC was on Prospect & Talmadge in L.A. The lot was also home to "American Bandstand" "Mr. Belvedere" "General hospital" and scores of sitcoms/game shows

The "moog" rendition of the national anthem is my favorite. I love the way it shows still photos of everyday Americans, civilian and military. It really was a different country then.

Wow, does this back some memories from living in the LA area in the early '80s!!

@robatsea2009 Thank you sooo much for posting this! This is my childhood. Great memories of me staying up after my parents fell asleep and watching T.V until sign off..What an amazing poem, music and narration..Thanx!

The version of "Forgotten Dreams" (as heard over Len Beardsley's sign-off here) that I remember, is the one on this link:

watch?v=VMDMSQWgBQ0

This one was used by sister station WABC-TV in New York for the close of their Friday evening editions of "Eyewitness News" through 1977.  As you can see, there are some differences in the recordings . . .

[wmbrown6]

Let me further elaborate: The recording used for KABC's sign-offs was Leroy Anderson's original 1954 version; while the one WABC used for their Friday evening and weekend night "EWN" closes was Anderson's 1959 re-recording.

This video brings back sublime memories.

Thanks for posting this. I have the special DVD with this excellent Air Force short and the only reason I purchased it.

Now if you only had the beginning sequence with Raymond Burr hosting The Psalms that used to broadcast nationwide and at KHJ-TV 9 in the 60s and 70s...I loved the opening music that sounded like something David Raksin composed while Raymond Burr sat under a tree with the Book of Psalms. Remember that broadcast?

[robatsea2009]

it's not one that I am familiar with myself but it definitely sounds like something fascinating to see

[Gillespie003]

This has always been my favorite footage and audio of 'HIGH FLIGHT' . . .
