Super Bowl XXI Intro

This was the introduction to the CBS Sports coverage of Super Bowl XXI, using CBS' College Football theme music. I shot this with a Casio Exilim.

Did you record this with a video camera pointed at a tv screen? If so was it with an old camera back then or was it recent.

[CTubeMan]

Yes, I did this last year.

Then what was this playing on, a tape? How did it have the the opening list of UHF translators?

Do you not have something to convert to digital?

Would it be possible to get an audio file of this?

[CTubeMan]

I recorded this live in January 1987. What kind of digital converter would you recommend?

This music does not fit pro football at all. Glad CBS uses for college football.

Finally...the holy grail of TV sports themes is on the Internet in the clear. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Many people have been looking for this for years, so I guarantee this vid will be a hit.

One suggestion: a video capture card with relevant cables would improve both video and sound quality tremendously. Recording a TV signal using a video camera picks up the ambient noise of the room as well as your own handling noise, and small cameras are impossible to keep still without a tripod.

Interesting how the Giants made it back to the Super Bowl on the 25th anniversary of this triumph.

The Giants have made 5 Super Bowls. In the last 4, they've been treated as underdogs after going through their campaigns the hard way.

The first appearance is the exception. They conquered throughout 1986 as they were favorites in all 3 postseason games and winning them in dominating fashion.

@Y2p731 This music only fits, IMHO, for a Super Bowl.

It should only have been used for CBS's Super Bowl games.

Check out Nine Trey Hooch NYG super bowl song

As Pots and Pans had been introduced earlier in the season, it was a turn back in that the signature of the presenter introducing the elements of the game during the intro was not used.

another intresting tidbit. suposedly CBS had commisiioned a song for the postgame show but ran out of time and dropped it. They asked they writer to change the opening lyric and they would use it later that year. He did and they did. The song?

One Shining Moment. The lyric alegedly chnaged was from the Original open of "the Ball is Kicked" to the "The Ball is Tipped. And we know to this day CBS closes out the NCAA basketball tournament with that song.
