Opening sequence (Intro) to the S F 49ers vs Cincinnati Super Bowl in Pontiac Michigan. Cool Music but before the Fancy CGI Graphics we see today.

Wow I didnt realize that! Of corse it was a big deal here in the Bay Area, I recorded the whole game on my "New" GE VCR! It was recorded at SLOW EP speed unfortunatly very hissy sound and I had to use a CueTip to keep the audio track in contact with the head to get any kind of a usable copy off that INTRO. Note that the Jets clip is re played as I COULD NOT get the next few seconds of video to play so I "cheated" by doubleing up that Jets footage THE SOUND TRACK IS COMPLEAT AS BROADCST. P.D.

Love Pat and John as the announcers.

Also love Al Micheals. And I miss the old days when this was all about the game. Not money and etc BS. Thanks for taking me back.

And so the 49ers dynasty....begins.

@RayBarrington -may have been the only surviving tape of Super Bowl I at that time known to exsist

Next year marks the 30th anniversary of what is still the biggest Market Share in the nation watching the big game. Could you imagine if the 49ers made it the way they're playing right now? Also, the bengals are for real.

Odd that for Super Bowl I they used Curt Gowdy - who called that game on NBC - instead of Ray Scott who did the game for CBS. Maybe it was because CBS dumped Scott and had Gowdy working for them after NBC dumped him...

Yes this was a 4 PM EST or so . But just so you know Super Bowl XVIII also started around 4 PM EST and Super Bowl XX was a 5 PM ES START.T

A great memory! I have the soundtrack of this opening on tape cassette (Poor quality though) because as a 13-year old I did play-by-play!) My broadcasting career didn't pan out, but I'm in media. Folks: this game had a 49.1 Nielsen rating (highest in sports history & #4 all-time in the US behind the MASH finale, Dallas-Who Shot JR? & Roots part 8) & a 73% share! It will never be broken, as cable came along & divided America. East coast was frrezing that weekend, contributing to the high rating.

In This Clip, From 0:22 To 2:58, It Was CBS Sports' Super Bowl XVI Video Open From Sunday Night, January 24, 1982.

@Fanik8 If not answered yet-- almost sure the game started shortly after 4 PM (eastern)-- the last one to start before 6 PM (edt)

@PeterDeCristofaro Funny, today is Superbowl day 2011 and so I thought I'd search for the one I worked on.... et voila! Your post appeared! Thanks for uploading this to Youtube! I won my first Emmy Award for this. It was for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography and Directing. My crew and I shot it in my studio in NYC's Greenwich Village. I remember watching the first Superbowl; they had just a few cameras, and there were plenty of empty seats.

Forget THAT, @crispinh1! They need to make a 2011 version of that intro music from '82! I would love to hear CBS make a more cleaner version of the song (And not make it like how they butchered that Hawaii Five-0 theme).

@PeterDeCristofaro The quality of this is amazing. It's like I'm watching it on TV. If only there were videos like this for Super Bowl XXI and XXV.
