Very, Very Cool Tribute To NBC Burbank!

Some wonderful soul has inserted a present day video trip down the same path of Steve Allen’s original 1958 singing stroll through the halls of NBC Burbank. The original clip was part of a Steve Allen special taped at NBC Burbank and is performed to an Allen composition, “This Could Be The Start Of Something Big”. In this clip he is joined by Ann Sothern, Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme, Dinah Shore and a special mystery guest. In one great long shot, they sing and stroll from Studio 1 (Steve Allen Show, & Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show Studio) and end the song over at Studio 4, (Dinah Shore Show, Laugh In, Dean Martin, Midnight Special), today it is home to ‘Day’s of Our Lives’. Many thanks to Bob Z, who ever you are for shooting this and to Richard Wirth for sharing the link.

    Very clever insert. Always wondered how they achieved that long travel shot w/o edits. Lots of rehearsal time.
