623.0. "Got a copy of last weeks "ROCK STEADY" in stereo" by KERNEL::MENDELSOHN (Greg Mendelsohn, UK VMS Support) Thu Mar 01 1990 21:04

    Did anybody watch the new music program called "ROCK STEADY" last
    Tuesday (20th Feb) on Channel 4.
    
    If so perhaps you can answer the following:
    
    	a/ Was the program broadcast in stereo (NICAM) from a London
    	   transmitter.
    
    	b/ If the answer to the previous was yes, then did anybody video
    	   the program in nicam stereo.
    
    	c/ If the answer to the previous was yes, can I borrow the tape.
    
    Unfortunately my aerial got blown down in the recent wind so I could
    only pick up C4 on a southern transmitter, and then the pricture
    was not very good.
    
    Much appreciate an answer.
    
    Greg Mendelsohn.

623.1Yes and No.BAHTAT::BELLSWAS Leeds 845 2214Fri Mar 02 1990 13:3113
    Yes I watched it, and taped it to get the Eric Clapton Blues Concert.
    But I don't have a stereo recorder and anyway I'm up in Yorkshire. I
    don't recall seeing anthing about stereo broadcast anyway, the local
    paper usually mentions it if it is available.
    
    Watched the prog this week too, it looks like this could become a good
    regular spot. They featured a live spot by 'Wet,Wet,Wet' from the Town
    and Country Club as Tinita Tikarams' gig in Belfast was cancelled
    because the storms held up the ferry with the sound gear on it.
    
    Noteworthy section was Mark Knopfler jamming with Chet Atkins.

    Greg,
    
    I'm pretty sure the answer to A,B, and C is YES. But, I only recorded
    the Clapton Blues Concert, not the whole show. I'm also fairly sure it
    was in nicam, I'll have to listen to it to be sure.
    
    Mail or reply if this is what you are looking for.
    
    Graham.
