Anyone Remember Night Tracks or Night Flight

Postby FearOfGhosts » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:22 am

[:D]I happened upon this site dedicated to Night Tracks and makes mention to another early video show called Night Flight. Wow... You really have to check out this site. The site owner really seems to share the same love for the eighties many of us have and breaks down the history of video for you.

Remember Madness - Ourhouse... It premiered June 6, 1983... Check out every link 'cause there's a little treasure under each one...

I'm sure you'll NJOY it... Love to see your comments.

Sure, I remember NightTracks and NightFlight.

I used to love to watch the late Peter Ivers' "New Wave Theater" on Night Flight. How about "New York Dance Stand"?

I have a videotape somewhere of some snippets of the show. I have some video art and

Sadly I wasn't aware of those shows back then. I totally missed the boat. I was told a few years back that multi-media queen Ann Magnuson(bands:Pulsallama/Bongwater)hosted one Night Flight episode as a character named Fallopia and boasted to be another Pr

YES!! I remember Night Flight, New Wave Theater, the aerobic girls -- all of it, very fondly.

I like the way Blaster put it, "You never knew what you were going to get." -- One of the best "gets" I can remember was a Johnny Thunders concert on Night F

Night Flight was definitely one of best shows on TV at the time. SO much cool stuff. That's where I first saw the Hazel O'Connor film "Breaking Glass". I used to spend so many weekends dissing friends simply to stay at home and watch for the more obscure

Night Flight and Radio 1999 were both on USA, weren't they. Great stuff. Wish TV could be like that now. We have 500+ stations now full of crap.
