Night Music 1-15-89 Curtis Mayfield, David Lindley, George Duke

We see a lot of episodes online of this terrific music series pairing up diverse artists, but several episodes seem to be missing - never fear, BetaGems has the complete series, as well as sister show Sunday Night. This edition from 1-15-89 features Curtis Mayfield, David Lindley, Shinehead, Taylor Dane, and George Duke. The BetaGems channel also has "David Crosby & David Lindley 2-7-89 late night TV performance," and "Stanley Clarke & George Duke 6-28-90 late night TV performance." BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads. Complete series episode guide for both Sunday Night and Night Music, with notations RE which are on BetaGems (most other episodes are at CrossCurrentJazz, tho a few others are missing online or only partially available).
