ABC Good Morning America 8/7/78 with Keith Moon & Pete Townshend (Complete Broadcast)

[@6262999]

This show had such class back then. No shouting and screaming and seeing people looking in the windows in the background.

[@der22672]

I so loved GMA's studio back then. So old school. Ahhhh the 70's.

[@carolmahoney2109]

Keith was so mesmerizing you can't take your eyes off of him. A bright, bright star that wasn't with us long enough.

[@OFR]

For musicians, unusually honest and (prophetically) quite accurate. Keith was a bright spark, burning brighter and lasting less-long. Pete's still here and wonderful to have him around for new, great moments.

[@countzulu99]

This is an amazing perspective into a time that I can't believe my mom grew up in. It's cool to see how different it was

[@MMAfighter38113]

whenever you watched end credits on an ABC show or movie back in the late 70s and early 80s, David Hartman would always lead of the credits with a voice over of ''Helllo, this is David Hartman. Tomorrow on Good Morning America......''

[@Tubewings]

1:56; This was during the most recent of the Year of Three Popes. Paul VI's successor, John Paul I, would only last 33 days as pope before his own death. John Paul II would go on to reign for over 26 years as pope.

[@roseblake5803]

I always respect how Pete speaks kindly of his band mates.

[@jeffandbike4503]

Great memories. I enjoyed watching this every morning before I went to school. Actually I only had time to watch the first hour. Most of the kids would rather watch cartoons but I loved Good Morning America. I loved David Hartman, Steve Bell, John Coleman, Sandy Hill and Joan Lunden.

[@elwin38]

I remember bits and pieces of this. I was 10 yrs old. Keith Moon and Ringo Starr were very good friends.

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

elwin38 yes they were. Also John Robert Rowlands my friend and rock photographer. I hope you see his stuff soon. His photo is signature touring image for David Bowie Is exhibit.

[@goldenpacificmedia]

Thank you so much for posting this video to KZbin. It's remarkable that you were able to locate the original 3/4" tapes. I would love to read more about how you rescued and digitized this video.

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

Golden Pacific Media who has the original 3/4s?

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

Golden Pacific Media huh?!!! Me too. Email me [e-mail] family of Christopher Cornford, actor with Pete Townshend in short film Lone Ranger.

[@generadude8147]

Good morning indeed. This broadcast hit so goddamn hard. The edits and player's are very good

[@chrisneidenberg3509]

This might have been one of Keith Moon's last interviews. He died exactly a month after this - 09/07/78.

[@Sarah113ify]

So sad.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

Right you are! I wish he hadn't abused his body so.

[@mortensenegbert6619]

David Hartman looked a bit uptight when Keith told him he was drunk on certain days. [49:29]

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

mortensen egbert I bet he knew a good reason no one should have left him to drink on those days. We’re getting it.

[@jeffreyhunt1727]

Interview w/ the Who begins @47:30

[@carolmahoney2109]

Thank you!

[@kevinb7065]

very cool love to see more of these from the 70s

[@sku32956]

Who are you, was a masterpiece.

[@Twotontessie]

Love that album! One of their best that I don't think got the praise it deserved.

[@Thejbirdy]

"Hope I die before I get old"....Keith's mantra.

[@bufnyfan1]

In September 1980 TIME magazine did a review of all three network's early morning shows--it was reported that David Hartman was intensely disliked on the set of GMA--he had an enormous ego and didn't get along with any of his co-hosts--Nancy Dussault and Sandy Hill (both of whom left)--GMA hired Joan Lunden because she was essentially a "newbie" and would put up with Hartman's ego

[@markschalk9484]

Keith goes on good morning America and says he's a drunk. lol.

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

Mark Schalk they always have to say that. Even in early days like when England was surveying Brazil with ships and painters. The most talented realistic painter had no career after and alcoholism was blamed. Crazy.

[@garrysimpson1395]

Loved SOAP. Very popular here in the U.K. GOD BLESS!

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

garry simpson me too! Jodi and Jessica and the other sister and that grandpa. Chester can bite my butt.

[@ericpurkey7502]

I do not remember Sandy Hill but I remember David Hartman being on Good Morning America and was 2 & half years old when this episode of good morning America aired. David Hartman is now 80 years old. I grew up watching Good morning America and watched part of Good morning before I went to school.

[@bufnyfan1]

+Eric Purkey Hartman was known to have a HUGE ego-the executives of ABC put up with him because the ratings for GMA were so good. Ultimately they chose Joan Lunden as co-host because Hartman could easily dominate her and she would do what she was told

[@bigbubba29]

david graham Which didn't last long, as Joan was eventually promoted to equal footing with David. Needless to say, David felt threatened.

[@Lalovision3D]

I love this!

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

el stinko hello. We meet again El Stinko.

[@tchetta]

I can practically smell packaged cinnamon rolls and burning Sanka when I hear the theme song.

[@ogrebattle22763]

If I'm not mistaken this was one month before Keith Moon's death

[@therollingbeachfloyd645]

48:18 Pete Moon and Keith Townshend?

[@salaamakbar3630]

keith moon& Pete townsed

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

TheRollingBeachFloyd does it really say that?????? Yikes.

[@nolanmayer6387]

51:09 - David tries to convey the importance of family / marriage and Pete just drops the bomb, lol

[@johnnysama]

Now that's an interesting arrangement of the original GMA theme by Marvin Hamlisch. Sounds much more relaxed. I take it the somewhat more faster-paced rendition of the theme came around 1979ish (and would be used until 1987).

[@nowitsabadtime]

48:26, "Why were we laughing? You just called me Pete Moon, and him Keith Townsend!" :P

[@johndiax4147]

11:55 14:10 22:51 25:04 28:44 30:04 37:00 41:55

[@Rhett-Christopher]

Kind of interesting during the time when the dry news guy was talking at the desk to the camera - there was a sound of typewriters hammering away in the background. Like they were busy writing news stories!

[@bigbubba29]

Rhett Christopher When Steve was reporting, that's indeed what the folks were doing.

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

Exactly Alex. Good observation Christopher.

[@chuckwright896]

Sandy Hill is a very beautiful lady.

[@MA4TU2]

Scarface sighting at 48:17

[@anrriveradxndsigamer1495]

40 years of GMA

[@JeepBoiFL]

42:01 Fruit of the Loom commercial. I remember this one like yesterday. Either it's that good or it ran for a very long time. (I would trade my remaining years to have just a few back in the 70s) In case anyone who can arrange such is reading this....

[@vickieoglesby3257]

My oldest son was born in november of that year.

[@jasonbowman9669]

I like Burt's collection of drinks he had there in the kitchen.

[@epaddon]

I remember Sandy Hill being sent off to Lake Placid to do features for the 80 Winter Olympics but they never let her come back and it was Joan Lunden from that point on.

[@kengeorgejones6855]

She's a little irritating...if she was around today she'd probably get roasted for her weird mannerisms.

[@gm12551]

epaddon she could of said good morning to David in the beginning. She seemed like a B for not returning the message.

[@RTH-xo6gl]

Moon certainly knew date album release

[@neurogence]

love sandy hill shes beautiful

[@CharlieBoy360]

Moonie looked a hard 30.

[@johnnyballenatl]

Meanwhile, across town at 30 Rock, the Today Show was in the hands of Tom Brokaw and Jane Pauley.

[@andrer.newcomb6516]

His speaking voice seems more musical than his 'rock' voice . . . sometimes.

[@johnking5174]

1:15 - Is that a wig or did one of the hair stylists at ABC overdo the hair lacquer?

[@domusvita]

The sound of the teletype in the background during the news, real or sound effect?

[@bufnyfan1]

David Hartman apparently had a huge ego-he didn't get along with any of his co-hosts (including Nancy Dusseault and Sandy Hill)--ABC put up with him because the ratings were stellar--Joan Lunden was hired primarily because she was felt not to be a threat to Hartman's limelight and would essentially put up with him

[@TOADALLY123]

(WHO) are these guys?

[@kittygrrlhk]

That Erma Bombeck segment seemed more like a monologue from a late night show.

[@frankburns8871]

Actually, no...I hadn't heard that Pope Paul VI was dead. I'm devastated.

[@bondoly66]

Keith was shooting it straight.

[@michaelj.richard8353]

From (1978)

[@ElinaKupina-t6n]

may I know where did you find this footage? I'm looking for another one from 1977, October 6. thank you!

[@StlWhiteVerve]

08/07/1978 ABC GOOD MORNING AMERICA with David Hartman???

[@voitmusic]

Refreshing to see that old shitty TV history. Nice awkward interview as well. Keith looked like he had a few already and quite unpredictable

[@vickieoglesby3257]

I remember pope paul the sixth..everyone loved him

[@kascnef]

back when GMA was a young but rising show, just like CBS This Morning today.

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

Justin Fencsak CBS sucks.

[@bufnyfan1]

are you kidding me? CBS This Morning continues to languish in 3rd place-its ratings sank another 10 per cent when Charlie Rose was fired for his sexual shenanigans--Gayle King is horribly overrated and didn't get along with Norah O'Donnell-who has left to do the CBS Evening News (after she back stabbed Jeff Glor)--CBS This Morning is going NOWHERE

[@peteradaniel]

Wow. No pharmaceutical commercials and a lot of public service announcements. Is this America!?!

[@juliebyrne2533]

Big pharma didnt advertise back then and nobody in the healthcare industry(hospitals etc.)advertised!

[@SharkMinnow]

49:20 Drunk most days (with Keith Moon written on screen)....good Morning America...ladies and gentlemen meet The Who! Dear lord that's some awkward, hilarious sh*t...

[@sfchris]

My goodness Sandy Hill was a babe! Hartman was every bit of the Herman Munsteresque robot that Joe Piscapo or whomever it was used to mock on Saturday Night Live.

[@salaamakbar3630]

love the nagalsta

[@joj3734]

what is that? a fucking pasta?

[@garrysimpson1395]

Very Early Electronic News Gathering Video E.N.G for short.

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

garry simpson thank you for the information I needed this bad. Why do you think the thumbnail is the symbol for KZbin deleted video? This is an important video.

[@nowitsabadtime]

Jerry Garcia sighting @3:53 ;)

[@TheCat1dog]

Good one. But Jerry was never that portly before he went gray.

[@nowitsabadtime]

I know, I'm just funnin' ;)

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

Great now I crave ice cream.

[@stevegallant7688]

Wow I'm surprised to see so many PSAs and commercials that encourage personal responsibility. We need more of that on TV today PS I bet Sandy Hill was wild in the sack just an observation

[@likegardner6084]

0:04 can you stop starring at me?

[@markruane3660]

Hooper was the first in a lot of burt reynolds movies that bombed.

[@gamecheater8033]

This was back then when GMA didn't take censorship very seriously..

[@bigbubba29]

GameCheater803 Lol, they still don't!

[@mikeperez114]

hey wait minute... Scarface with Al Pachino didnt come out yet...

[@chrisneidenberg3509]

Reportedly, Sandy Hill and David Hartman had an icy relationship off camera, forcing Hill to exit.

[@alexscott730]

Che bella reggazza 2:37 left side😎....48:24...Dumbass credits editor.

[@streetcarjay]

Pope Paul's successor was Pope John Paul II. The People's Pope.

[@JohnK086]

Pope John Paul I was Pope Paul successor. His reign was just 34 days, until his sudden death in September. John Paul II succeeded him that October.

[@mjoven1975]

Actually Pope John Paul I succeeded Pope Paul VI. He only served 33 days before he himself died. Pope John Paul I was then replaced by Pope John Paul II.

[@kethertomalkuthorchard1663]

People’s Drug Store

[@nancyericson4263]

Elvis would have laughed at the puny tv display.

[@mikegammon9450]

Taupe!!!!!

[@markruane3660]

What is sandy hill doing these days?

[@colinhickman4071]

Knitting....

[@Wbino-uq4jx]

Burt Reynolds is funny......

[@mustang10141980]

Look at the coke sweats! Cheers!

[@jcdova29]
