- 1970 - Happy New Year! Start of new decade as seen on TV 45 years ago. The decade of the 60's was finally over - it took a loooong time to end. Of course it seemed like a long time because I was younger then. Now decades just pop by quickly.
Wow! That's amazing. I actually remember this. Me, my girlfriend, my best buddy, and his date watched this very scene on TV. I remember the "1970" flashing on the screen.
i was two and a half years old when the ball came down that year and read "1970 ",im sure i was sound asleep as well, i wasent allowed up past 8:00 at night back then ,pretty willd.
On this day, everyone had broken iPhones.. oh wait
Now it’s 50 years ago!!
Wow! I remember that night vividly. I was 9 yrs. old and staying with some friends. We were banging pots & pans with spoons when it turned midnight. We thought that was just the ultimate staying up to see a new decade arrive.
"Goodbye to the 60's, the decade of descent, and welcome to the giant mystery that is, the 1970's!"

New Years Eve 1970
(The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson)
12/31/1969 - 01/01/1970
Every date/time on all UNIX systems is measured in the number of seconds which have elapsed since this moment--January 1, 1970. So that makes this a very special moment in time.
awesome footage !!
my parents were born in 1977 trying to imagen how that was. I was like dam thats a long time.
This was recorded by me using a Super 8 camera - and I think it may vaguely show part of the ball drop - I see the Sony Building in Times Square in the film. As has been noted, there were no VCRs until about 10 years after this, when I bought one of the early VCRs for about $1,800. (Technology obviously gets cheaper and cheaper!)
The 1970 ball drop now exists in audio format.
Thank you for sharing! :)
Made with my Super 8 camera (which had no sound in those days) on a tripod facing the TV - a camera-copy of live TV. I did the same thing on the first moon landings and other things. That was the only way we could duplicate TV shows in the old days before the miraculous invention of the VCR in the late 70's. I also made camera copies of Star Trek and Doctor Who just in case they never showed up on TV again ever. Boy was I wrong!
Yes, it is '69 turning into '70... the exciting new number at the start of a new decade, a "seven!" Ten years after that it was another exciting change of the '70's to 1980... saw Blondie on TV for the first time at midnight. 20 years after that was the exciting change from 1999 to 2000 watching about 26 hours of TV as Peter Jennings hosted the Millennium change in all time zones on live TV. I wish I had taped all of that. If anyone has videos of all 26 hours, please let me know!
KRON was at the time an NBC affiliate, so I suspect this was a live (on the East Coast; this was probably seen at 12 Midnight PST) cut-in on a special edition of "The Tonight Show".
Thanks. I made a note on his video upload. His copy is OK with me, but he should have given me attribution. Yes, they didn't have sound Super 8 cameras back when I bought my first 2 Super 8 cameras. Sound came in later. I didn't start making sound films until I got my first Video camera, about 10 years later.
Can someone post a video of the Times Square ball drop on new years 1969-1970?
This is where the Unix time has started
@WilliamNoack Ok, now I get the point. You were really using a super 8mm camera instead of a VCR!? Now that definitely makes sense to me as I was wondering why this video seemed to be so quiet without sound and also the images in this video looked a bit like it was being recorded off of an old camera. Now that seemed pretty weird to me at first when I was watching this video as I first saw this.
ladies and gentlemen... this marks the very beginning of time itself
