Anything Goes | First Broadway Revival | 1988 | Pro-Shot | VOB+smalls (3.34 GB)
Patti LuPone (Reno Sweeney)
NOTES: Usually labelled as the "Almost" Lost Footage of the Lincoln Center Revival from 1988. 20 minutes of footage shot on a single camera from a tripod, on stage right, of the following numbers: "You're the Top," "Easy to Love," "I Want to Row on the Crew" and "There'll Always be a Lady Fair," with dialogue scenes between each song. This is not the poor video quality bootleg that is commonly shared, but is well filmed, with lots of close ups, but some generational loss. It could either have been press reel footage or an archival recording. It usually circulates along with An Evening with Patti LuPone, a PBS television special from 1997 at the Callum Theatre in the Palm Desert Resort hotel in Palm Springs, CA. This lasts around 90 minutes.

Patti LuPone (Eva Perón), Tom Carder (u/s Che), Bob Gunton (Perón), Mark Syers (Magaldi), Jane Ohringer (Perón's Mistress)
NOTES: Commonly confused with November 30, 1979. The 1980 video does not have a commercial, is filmed from the left of the house rather than the right, and features Tom Carder as Che instead of Mandy Patinkin. Act 1 is entirely in black and white. Act 2 has washed out color, but it is still present. Very dark. Tracking issues at times, but a pleasant surprise for its age.
