Driving Around in Michigan in 1982

Betamax videos shot back in 1982 featuring a massive Grand Safari station wagon and a Chevy Impala. Come on, we all did this in high school or college...
The background music is the 'Whoo Hoo' song from Violent Apathy and was taped at one of their concerts in Kalamazoo for a punk rock TV show.

This was videotaped in 1982 using a portable Sony Betamax recorder and a Panasonic videocamera (in total they probably weighed about 50 pounds). The equipment was provided by the WELM-TV Public Access TV studio (East Lansing, Michigan) where we produced the Syntax show.

awsome video! Where did you get the music? Is that Violent Apathy? Did you used to go to our shows back in the 80s?

[pcelias60]

Yes, it's Violent Apathy's "whoo hoo" song from the 1982 Kazoo show (at which I actually ran the videocamera) I still have beta tapes (which I converted to DVD) of this and other punk footage from the Lansing area in 1982/83. This particular video (driving around w/the song) was actually broadcast in 1983 on our Syntax Public Access TV show (which I helped to produce).
