@madpioneer i know exactly what u mean!! lmao!!!

[johnyjmuniz]

@madpioneer i know how it was in those days. in 86 i was a teenager that listened to that music. i still do. i was comparing the concerts back then to the concerts now. the difference is back in the 80's we would just raise our fists in the air. now we mosh in the pit pushing and hitting each other. i still go 2 concerts and haue seen many bands. im a concert fanatic.

[madpioneer]

@johnyjmuniz very true, I was right with you I grew up on this stuff going to concerts slamming my fist in the air etc.... but the Valley had it's own mosh pits with idiots fighting long before they were fashionable & accepted at concerts!...LOL Mosh on!!

[johnyjmuniz]

they were scared crowd was gona be out of control!! lmao!! have they been 2 a metal concert these days? MOSH!!!!!

[madpioneer]

@johnyjmuniz If you only knew of how it was in the Valley in those days you would understand. Fights would break out at the drop of a hat!

[ilovetortillas]

WOW!! i remember that background from when i was a kid

[5henangn]

ooooh that guy didnt ven deserve the free tickets:{:{:{

[Darrylb500]

Hah, I love it when people try to blame metal on these things, as they seemed soooooooo surprised that the crowd behaved "rather well" (think those were the exact words), when I smelled pot at a freaking REM concert more times than at any metal shows I've ever attended!

[majorfadec]

LOL. I was there, my first concert.

[mnassour]

The first clip is Letty Garza and Peter Torgerson. The second is Jane Weaver and Rick Diaz.

[madpioneer]

@mnassour

Finally someone who knows that is Jane Weaver, Thanx!

[marc78501]

Letty looks younger now then in this video..lol

[fredturd]

There are two times back then that I wished I had recorded the news.

1. Peter Torgerson was at a controlled marijuana burn.  He did his report with bloodshot eyes.

[thetroposphere]

nice bow, letty.

"rock music is popular in the valley..." lolz.

[mnassour]

I can't remember her name either, and I WORKED with her down at KRGV. That's just my faulty memory at work, no reflection on her, certainly. I remember her as a very professional anchor who did a great job.

[madpioneer]

"Who was the other anchor girl on the second clip with rick diaz?"

was asked,a friend sent this name too me not sure it is correct?

Suzette Chaires?

[madpioneer]

Was Letty Valades-Garza, now just Letty Garza. From what I have been told left channel 5 for awhile, but is now an anchorwoman with them again.

[gonzalezjesus87]

oh damn! is that letty garza???? she looks older back in 1986!!!! hahahahahahaha!!!!

[Matt324324]

nice to see this KRGV vintage clip online

Who was the other anchor girl on the second clip with rick diaz?

[madpioneer]

I honestly can't remember at this time.

I'll see if I can jog my memory.
