Upscaled to 1080p60 to preserve quality. The Sony Hi8 tape used was part of a poor batch that degraded a bit over the two decades, and spots and sparkles are apparent.

After the passing of Bear Bryant in 1983, Alabama football hit a slump, and 1985 was the first season where things began to feel like they could get back to "normal," which for Bama means a lot of winning! Under coach Ray Perkins, the Tide went 9-2-1 after a losing season in '84, so excitement was returning. One of those wins was in the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii against USC.

Bear Bryant documentary 1991 - The Legacy Lives (VHS) theleeoverstreet 2019-10-31 | Produced eight years after Paul "Bear" Bryant's death, this 1991 documentary is one of effusive story telling by many who were close to him in his personal life and football coaching career. The music, narration, and stories are heartfelt, bordering on worshipful. It's a video that will ring true for older viewers alive when Bryant was coaching, but may feel outright corny for younger fans of Alabama, or college football in general. It is, however, indicative of the love so many Alabama fans and residents had for the man.Appearances include subsequent coaches like Gene Stallings and Ray Perkins, as well as former player and present day restaurateur Bob Baumhower. Kenny Stabler, Jerry Duncan, Jim Goostree, Billy Varner, Lee Roy Jordan, and others also appear. Bryant's wife Mary Harmon Bryant appears with him. There's even a special comedic appearance by Bob Hope!Technical: from VHS at SP speed and hifi sound. Some noise reduction and color correction was applied. Upconverted to 1080p60 to preserve image quality. One short segment replaced with stills for reasons.

Naturally, there was a focus on corporate anti-piracy propaganda (or proper media ethics if you're not so anarchic). Later in the video, Brother Cane performs "There," which seems to have been written just for Bellsouth. Also, watch for Damon to flip his hair about every 3 seconds! LOL! BellSouth was one of the seven original Regional Bell Operating Companies after the U.S. Department of Justice forced the American Telephone & Telegraph Company to divest itself of its regional telephone companies on January 1, 1984.

Hillary Clinton Interviewed by Matt Lauer about Monica Lewinsky 1998 theleeoverstreet 2019-05-19 | Hillary Clinton appeared on the Today Show on January 27, 1998, just days after the Lewinsky affair news broke, and was interviewed by none other than Matt Lauer. A little something for everyone to be angry about here. This was the morning after the President said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," and also just hours before the President's State of the Union speech that evening. Hillary uses the phrase "vast right-wing conspiracy" in this interview. Now that we know what Lauer was up to, it's even harder to watch this footage. The only person coming out of all this looking good today is Monica Lewinsky herself, who is a charming and intelligent professional with a great sense of humor, working as an anti-bullying activist and fashion designer as of 2019. Check her out in a fantastic interview with John Oliver (starts at ~15:35): youtu.be/Yq7Eh6JTKIgI bet comments here won't exactly be uplifting, but please be civil to each other, or I'm smashin' those delete and block buttons.

Lee's friend Phil happened to have a borrowed VHS camcorder that day. This is the unedited tape with on-air audio mixed in for the interview parts.It's college radio, and Lee & Wolfe was still a fairly new show, so don't expect the pinnacle of music journalism here. Also, there may be dirty words. ;-)Technical: VHS tape (Scotch HS T-120) from a VERY used camcorder, SP speed. Video levels & white balance adjusted, and audio denoised. On-air audio recorded via FM tuner to hi-fi VHS tape at home, and synced with the video here for those segments. Upconverted to 1080p60 to preserve image quality and motion.

Stone Weasel played live and loud, and after about three song were shut down by the cops for making it impossible to hear homecoming speeches across the street on the Quad. Badass.

King Konga Live on Lee & Wolfe - November 20, 1998 theleeoverstreet 2019-02-28 | King Konga's fourth live interview and performance on the Lee & Wolfe radio show on November 20, 1998. Three great songs and two hilarious interview segments make up this unedited video. Song one is "Like You," song two is definitely NOT "I'm Headin' for My Beddin' Where I'm Headin' for the Night" as they sarcastically claim (it's "Virginia"), and the third song is also NOT "If I Had It to Do All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You" nor "I Don't Want Her, You Can Have Her, She's Too Fat for Me" (it's "Dancing Girls). Dan switched up the microphones prior to the third song, so the mix goes haywire for a while. One mic sounds like a phone for some reason.

Computer Store in the Mall - 1991 theleeoverstreet 2019-02-23 | For retro computing enthusiasts! This was a small "mom and pop" computer and electronics store in the mall in 1991 called 21st Century Electronics. It was in University Mall in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and started in 1990 as a general electronics store, with a focus on satellite television systems, but evolved into a dedicated computer technology store. I worked there from 1991 to 1993, and I'm visible in the mirror with the VHS-C camcorder near the end. The store eventually moved, became 21st Century Computers, and lasted until the 2010's. This video is probably June 8, 1991, based on the baseball game on the TV (Montreal at Atlanta), and that it was on a VHS tape with other 1991 events.Any help identifying the games and systems in the video is appreciated.
