[freesandwich]

whats the band thats playing?

[oneandatwo]

I would like to know. I thought they were pretty good. I also remember them playing the song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"

Me (7 or 8 at the time)filmed lots of stuff with our heavy old 2 piece. Its funny we used that camera until 1991 when my dad finaly got A small 8mm video camera. I have video of disneyland around the same time also, but right now the tape is miss placed with about 400 other vhs tapes. When I have time I am going to find it and post video from it.

If you have Pirates of the Caribbean, I would be most interested in seeing the fireflies. I am their designer. Also, Carousel of Progress would be excellent.

Very cool, Did you video tape this with A old 2 piece video recorder and camera ? We had 1 of those units back in the 80s.

[oneandatwo]

Yes. And a very large and heavy battery. The VCR was about half the size of the livingroom variety. I had a bruised neck from the size of the camera---all of which makes this video quite unique: Few people were up for that.

[jamhoms]

That's awesome that they were playing Bryan Adams.

I remember when the Matterhorn was hollow and from the Skyway ride you could look down and see the cast members' break area complete with a basketball hoop.

The colors were so much more vibrant back then than they are today...I'm so grateful I was able to go 5 or 6 times when my sister and I were little. Memories kinda make me sad.

Love ya Skyway!!!!!

[jimromerulez]

thanks for this.

Will show my roomate this. He saw james brown on that stage in tommorrow land. could not find pics of it , (it used to be a rising from the gorund stage).

ps my family had a 2 piece camera back in the day and it was heavy. Could not imagine carrying it around disneyland for any length of time.

They removed our Skyway here at WDW as well. They also took out our 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, Mission to Mars, Mr Toads Wild Ride, and most recently, Mickey's ToonTown Fair which will make way for the Fantasyland expansion project. Atleast our WED Way People Mover now called the Tomorrowland Transit Authority and the original Space Mountain are still here as well as your Carousel of Progress.

@freesandwich @oneandatwo was the band named KRASH or Airplay? I remember those bands being regulars at that stage in 1986.
