  • Great White performs two songs in a Late Show TV broadcast from March 1988. EDIT: We just now discovered how rare this clip is, the program had fired their high profile host Joan Rivers and thus the show was dropped from a lot of stations before this broadcast with the final of many "guest" hosts. Not only had many of the stations carrying the show dropped it, but this ep was only broadcast on the east coast -- it was pre-empted elsewhere by breaking Iran-Contra news programs, and of course none of these shows were ever rerun. The show was cancelled around 6 months later. A lost Betagem, to be sure! The BetaGems channel also has "Great White 1-29-88 late night TV performance" and "Great White 1-22-90 Shrine Auditorium L.A.."
    BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded between 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 that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on UA-cam or online. 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.
    In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.

      You ain’t kidding. They were that good. They made good music all decade long and toured hard. I don’t know how they didn’t become a truly huge rock band. If I had to pick a reason it was because they were about 1 tier to heavy for most people. Rock Me for instance, was as heavy as it got without sounding like Black Sabbath or Metallica or something.

    In the summer of 1989 great white was touring the eastern part of the United States. They were traveling down the interstate 95 the bus broke down leaving them stranded ,later after getting the bus to a shop for repairs they ventured downtown Fayetteville NC an proceed to do a acoustic set for free, On this day I met Jack Russell an the rest of the Band, before leaving I got Jack to sign a dollar, somewhere down the line I misplaced the dollar bill.
    In 2014, I got the chance to See Great White again.I approached Jack after the show to. Get his autograph again When I asked for his autograph I told him about the day the bus broke down in Fayetteville north Carolina,He Remembered me From that day This is the new Signed dollar bill Their music his Voice an his band Are still the driving force of music from that Era,Love You Jack.

    The song Save All Your Love where the verse goes “Where no one else will ever be” has always reminded me of how The Carpenters would phrase their songs. I wonder if Jack borrowed that melody from The Carpenters.
    I got the chance to see Great White in the middle of summer ‘89 along with Tesla and Kix at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in California. What a night. So many beautiful ladies (the crowd was well mixed) and every band was on fire.
    So many great memories in the late eighties.
