Heya, ran across some old MTV footage, circa 1983, online! Sa-weetness! It's about 3 hours long....hehe, broken into a couple different segments. Anyway saw it in one of Wil Wheaton's blog entries, in his music archives section.

Here's the link:

And here's his blog entry that showed me the coolness of 1983 MTV, again:

BTW, his blog is very cool. I don't agree with all of his views, but then again, that's why they are *his* views, eh? At any rate, I dig his reflections on his youth writings...he has a great way of capturing the vibe of what it was like when "we" were young (growing up in the 70s and 80s, that is). If you haven't already, you might wanna check it out. He has many writings on D&D back in tha day, Star Wars figures (the first ones...hehe), and yes, once in a while he recalls the days as Wesley Crusher...hehe. Good stuff to take a trip down memory lane.

Ah well, check out the '83 MTV footage...fun!

edit: here's the links from just plain ol' video.google.com (if the previous links look a bit scary to ya...hehe):

I remember seeing some live concerts they used to run late at night. That was the first time I heard/saw Gun's n Roses. And they didn't even edit out the language. At the time MTV was also the only real place you could get concert info. I think Internet killed the MTV star.

Video may have killed the radio star but reality killed MTV. I loved the beginning shows like liquid Tv where you could see animation that other channels didnt have. But then they started with reality shows, the first real world was fun at first, but ugh they just couldnt stop there, now its like any idiot who can get a group of friends to pull stupid stunts or former rap stars or the latest I seen a skateboard mogul (they have moguls now) and his big black bodyguard has a show...

What every happened to the videos? I watched one day with my nephew just to see if it was still the same ****, and they showed a few videos some in clips others rap (which unfortunately not a big fan of) then more reality shows, car shows like pimp my plymouth, the skateboarder and bodyguard show, some show with spoiled 16 year olds and shows were people get to rag on each other (yo mama?) all in all MTV is now an avoided channel for me. But its okay I spend most of my tv time in spongebob land...
