I was in that halftime show----I was helping hold up the world banner. haha Had no idea I could find this on youtube until today. Thanks to whoever uploaded it so I could enjoy seeing the show I was in but didn't actually get to see on TV or from the stands!
This is the only Super Bowl I ever attended and it was an incredible sight seeing over 103,000 people taking part in the halftime activity. After the half I went to get a(nother) beer and heard all the vendors complaining that the show cost them a fortune in revenue because the fans didn't use the halftime to by their wares. This must have been the largest halftime show in the history of the Super Bowl because no other NFL venue can hold 103,000 fans and I would bet that 95% of the fans there took part.
I performed in that halftime show as part of the LAUSD all-city Drill team and have been trying to find this since then. Thank you so much for posting this!
Wow; what a blast from the past! I love these old-school halftime shows from the early years of the Super Bowl--and this one is my favorite. I was not quite 6 years old when this show was performed, and I was a HUGE Mickey Mouse fan! Plus, the music in this show conveys such a positive message all the way through. I like watching this show not only around Super Bowl time, but also when I'm feeling stressed and just need a bit of an "upper."
@@FutureGirl2033 well i think that because of covid 19 the superbowl will be done virtually by web cams in our living rooms, and everyone is just going to pretend to play football.
HydroFlask Harry I played in the All City band as well we marched in the Rose parade on January 1 and played at the Superbowl on January 9th. My name is Todd from Cleveland H. S. Where did your dad go to school?
@RampGuy1 The N.F.L. played a 14 game schedule until 1978 when the league expanded the regular season schedule to 16 games. The league has also added an extra wild card team in 1990, thus extending the playoffs. That is why the Super Bowl has been held in February the past few seasons.
This year (2022) it's being pushed back to the SECOND Sunday in February, and rumor has it that this will be the rule rather than the exception going forward.
I'd rather watch these halftime shows back then, rather than now with that pole dancing JLO and tongue wagging Shakira. Those halftime shows back then were my childhood and I loved everthing about it
My dad took me to this Super Bowl when I was 11. The game was pretty forgettable, but that halftime show and the terrifying Raiders fans will be with me forever.
Definitely. Simpler times and you had a general innocence about the whole things. Children still enjoyed their childhood innocence. The irony of all things is children today are exposed to so much stimuli and adult stuff by age 5 and yet they do not seem to thrive to adulthood and end up 20 year olds still living at home not mature yet. Very odd.
@Reed Rothchild IMHO, the Super Bowl halftime show jumped the shark in the early 1990's, and what a big shark it was! Although that expression is commonly used in reference to a perceived decline in the quality of a show, it originally referred to the use of a gimmick (in this case, having big-name pop stars headline the show) in an attempt to boost the ratings. Either way, I know it's a minority opinion, but I like the pre-1993 halftime shows much better than the more recent ones.
Only trouble with playing the divisional games on 12/27 is that it was not a holiday. The NFL at that time was not keen on playing late afternoon(or night) games in cold weather climates. IN 1977 with 12/25 being on a Sunday 12/26 was a holiday for many people which allowed for playoff games on Monday
Everyone has their own taste, but I personally will *never* understand why almost all the critics who have ranked all the Super Bowl halftime shows consistently place this one near the bottom. Catchy songs with a positive message, audience participation, and Mouseketeers--how can this show not put a smile on your face? 2:14--"Paloma Blanca" was a Top 40 hit about a year before this show was performed. I just heard it on "Classic American Top 40" last weekend, on a countdown from January 1976.

Wow. What a stinker. Bunch of Tinker bells running around. Hard to believe this and that hit Tatum put on Sammy White happened at the same event. Talk about contrast. The chick from Facts of Life at 5:45.
@ghostrepublic -And the reason the game was so early uin Jan was due to Xmas being on a Saturday that year. The NFL did not want o play games on Xmas so instead of starting the regular season two weeks after Labor Day as was customary in those 14 game regular seasons, the started 1 week after labor days making the divisional playoffs on the 18 and 19th with the conference title games the 26th. With a regular start date divisionals would have been on xmas day and the day after.
What the NFL should have done in 1976 is play two divisional games Sunday 12/26 and two more Monday 12/27, as it did in 1977 when Christmas was on Sunday.
Wasn't that the one where the lead singer removed his shirt midway through the performance and showed off his heavily tattooed bare chest for the remainder of the show? Yech! Shows like that--and the infamous "wardrobe malfunction" of 2004--are the ones that would be at the bottom of the list if I was the one doing the rankings.
Yes, a horrible halftime show (lol)...and yes, we all spotted Lisa Whelchel. But...nobody noticed Shelley Long from Cheers is one of the adult singers? She has such a distinctive face...crazy to think this was only 5 years before Cheers and 4 years before Facts of Life. I turned 6 this same week, SB XII was first one I actually watched. All the sports championships were in the afternoons...I was probably playing lol
@@youtoo2233 Me too! IMHO, the Super Bowl halftime show jumped the shark big time when they turned it into an overblown extravaganza with mega pop stars.
@HaloRckn No, it's best not to do research .If one did then it eliminates any and all posibilities of a dialogue. Truth be known, THATS why were all here. Both me and YOU !!
No. The market has obviously spoken--and the NFL obviously wants popular artists to sing their familiar stuff and not to have MOR pageant-type spectacles. You're welcome to your opinion on them, but that time has well passed.
@@tomshea8382 I think part of it is that--much to the chagrin of the minority of us who prefer this style of halftime show--the TV ratings really dropped off during halftime until they started bringing in big-name pop stars. Mercifully, when we get nostalgic for these old-school halftime shows, we can watch them on RUclips.
A family friend of ours was a sportswriter for Sports Illustrated back then and gave us free tickets second row on the 50 yard line and I still remember it so well. Well I thought I did until I just saw this. I swear this was photoshopped it couldn't have been that corny HAHA! Terrible video though, this was the first time an entire audience used colored cards to add to the visual effects of everything and we all had a blast. I was 13 at the time but I'm only 27 now, it just doesn't add up :)
I believe January Super Bowls were the norm until the NFL changed their playoff schedule in the early 2000's. This game was played on January 9, which I think is the earliest date that the Super Bowl has ever been played.
While perhaps a bit cheesy, it's certainly a lot more family friendly that some today's Super Bowl offerings. Sort sucks that you've got to cover the kids eyes from today's "wardrobe malfunction" Half Time shows. The Super Bowl is suppose to be a sporting event, not a Vegas show.
I sure would rather see this kind of entertainment than the trash they show at the Super Bowl. X rated language and disgusting dance moves and crotch grabbing, and ripping off costumes. No wonder they show it later on.so young eyes won't see it. I remember hearing this on television at 13 years old. I watched The New Mickey Mouse Club. I remember Pop, or Billy Attmore on The Brady Bunch. And the blonde girl was also on The Facts Of Life with Lisa.
Back then, I felt Disney, etc. was corny. But now, given Disney's ties to the Military Industrial Complex and involvement in the New World Order, this show is something worse. A crude attempt at propaganda and mind control. It's a good thing that the Raider ethos was so counter to the established status quo. We might have had subliminal messages flooding the stadium after a Viking win: OBEY. OBEY. OBEY.

The mousketeers needed more camera time. They showed these adults a little too much.
@RampGuy1 Yes. As the date says, it was on January 9, 1977
Back when super bowl half time shows had simpler themes.
***** I wouldn't know I live on the east coast.
***** The NFL should have played Super Bowl 50 in Pasadena or LA. The Rose Bowl is an amazing venue.

And the game was played during the day
And it was the LAST time it was played in the day. AND THE EARLIEST it will ever be played (January 9th)
Just like the overblown and sometimes tasteless halftime shows that they do nowadays, night games bring better TV ratings.

Was that Kenneth from "30 Rock"about 6 minutes in? And the Happy Hands Club a little further in?
