Love that Supertramp song. Goodbye Stranger. Breakfast in America. Bought that the week it came out. The first plays were taping it for friends. Probably used two or three boxes of Maxell XL-II C90s. 11:23
In Kassel’s book he says they taped the actual show Friday afternoons on a closed set at 4:30 , then later did a quick run-through before a live audience at 7:30 p.m… so everyone is right
@@DaveNarn Hugh Wilson talked about that in an interview. They used to have an audience for the afternoon taping, but the audiences were so bad he stopped having them come in. Since they had to tape the show twice for video, they taped a “dry” show in the afternoon so they could work out all the technical problems and not bog down the live show with reshoots. If the live show take was better, they used it in the edit.
Shows how controllable humans are. Did you laugh? I did not as muchbas inwould if i was instigated to laugh. But yup. Hoomans are this easily influenced and controlled. Facts. Everyone laughed with carlin. But nokne heeded his truth. Now look where we are. Screwed.
People laugh at comedy because of group laugh and delivery, you can go to a comedy club and a comedian can tell dry jokes and nobody will laugh. Change the delivery and people will be queued to laugh and others will join in. The funniest comedians, George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld can bomb completely with poor delivery
@@DaveNarn Yes, sound is a perceptive queue. I watch baseball alone with the sound off in the background and it's a much different experience than with a group of friends or live. The crack of the bat for a ball that will drop to an easy out 20 feet from a home run fence will get the crowd cheering, then silenced.
Never like to be told when to laugh - this was great
Thanks for all your work on this. Very interesting look behind the scenes.
As my friend Tony The Tiger would say, "This is GRRRRREAT!"
Thanks! Glad it isn't Bill Lumbergh from ''Office Space', lol

Breakfast in America was my first record that wasn't Sesame Street. I was 5. I still have that same album to this day.
LOL!!! Do you people even know that a laugh track is? "WKRP in Cincinnati" was taped before a live audience.

11:25 interesting choice of songs
the sound is fucked up
Huh? The laugh track has been edited out.
It's giving me audio-induced vertigo.

Sort of like turning the sound off and just watching the video gives you a different perspective.

Kinda annoying with multiple dead sections of no sound.
That's what really kills the comedy and stifles the laughter
