New Years Eve at Times Square - 1957 to 1958!!!!!

Believe it or not, here is part of New Years Eve at Times Square - from 1957 to 1958, with Guy Lombardo!!!! Seems very low-tech, compared to what we have today!!

[@ashleydurden7179]

These New Years videos are very rare finds. Rare gem. Also, that clip could make you a lot of money!

[@alberttatlock5237]

Yes assuming you held the full copyright to the film and music contained within it

I was in Kindergarten in Brooklyn on New Year's Eve 1957-58. My parents were probably watching this.

Bob Trout, who counted down to 1958, was a longtime CBS News correspondent who anchored CBS Radio coverage of numerous special events from the 1930's until the 1970's.

This was when going to Times Square for New Year's Eve was an organic thing to do and not commercialized. No pens, no crime. A totally different time.

Much better and so much more class than Dick Clark's garbage new years show. Haven't seen it but once since he passed so I imagine it's even worse especially in today's degenerate cultural climate. I turned off the degenerate propaganda tube over a decade ago............

[@isabeld.paredes4923]

We must keep in mind that the classier shows like this one were geared towards much older audiences (which, by the way, frowned upon rock'n'roll as it was gaining popularity among many teenagers and quite a few twentysomethings even back then). The class that more traditional forms of popular music present (some of it jazz based, I presume; I am not a musicologist and can only speculate) was like a "balsam" to their ears. Younger audiences had to wait until the 1970's to get their own New Year's Eve show to have whatever suited their tastes
