I just discovered this little gem whilst browsing YouTube. I’m not from New York and I was just five years old, so my memory of this particular date is rather spotty. I thought that some NY based Freepers or 70’s fans might enjoy this.

Enjoy!

I’ve been listening to airchecks for a few months.

I enjoy the “Boss Radio” ones from “KHJ”.

Bookmarked for later. I love this aircheck stuff, especially from the 1970s as that was my growing up period. Even the commercials are like a time capsule from more innocent times.

This was the Bicentennial, and NYC celebrated in a huge way on that day.

I don’t think we’re going to make it to the Tricentennial.

Nope, we'll be celebrating the centennial in 2049 of the PRC.

These airchecks have allowed me to discover so many of the great songs from the late 60s, and not just the “classic” rock songs from that era, I’d been listening to pretty much since my later teenage years.

I marvel at just how well crafted the songs were. Many of course featured The Wrecking Crew.

America's Bicentennial: Operation Tall Ships - 1976

I was an Airman in the USAF with my beautiful bride of two years sitting in our beanbag chairs in Sacramento watching this live on our little portable TV.

You should enjoy the amazing Pat St. John (now on SiriusXM Sixties Gold) who assembled these amazing montages for WPLJ - no computer editing, just grease pencil, razor blade and editing tape:
