    Not only was this THE identifying theme for a Sunday afternoon, our high school band always stepped onto the field for their pre-game in the early 1970s to "Confidence." Like "The Hockey Song," it became the theme of a sport that belonged to no team or level of play. Everyone shared the understanding that 'Confidence' meant football. As Dave and others pointed out, the 1964 'Secret Life of Walter Mitty' musical never made it to Broadway. Fortunately an off-Brodway production was recorded by Colombia records. (The lyrics to 'Confidence' are rather humorous.) And yet, this up-tempo, music-only version from an otherwise flop musical is stuck in millions of people's heads 60 years later.

    Like many others, I too have long looked for a "clean" version of the CBS intro theme from this time period (Confidence) minus any commercial voice over. Getting the video clips as well is a fantastic bonus. I can still name practically every featured football player in the videos. What a great memory! Thanks!

    I remember this song!!! I was about 11 years old and just started watching Sunday pro football. I had a classmate who invited me over to his house because his family had a COLOR TV set. WOW!! What a difference!! The players suddenly had green grass stains on their uniforms. Their jersey colors were no longer Black and White. It was a whole new world. We didn't get a color TV at our house until early 1969. I have a great appreciation for the music used by NFL Films when showing football highlights the following Saturday.

    OMG... yes! The "Confidence" theme from '67! The one that starts with "The Duke" and contains the famous "Landry grimace"! Seriously, I was recalling this one nostalgically when I was 13 years old (I was weird like that), and have literally been hoping to see it again for fifty years. One of the first things I ever searched for on the web, that kind of thing.

The only thing I wish could be found is the actual footage that went along with the theme (perhaps this is a different iteration by CBS?) - only because my brother and I always had our favorite part where some QB is getting forearmed (legal then) by some defensive player. We would mimic it in slow motion. Thx Dave. Great work to find this gem.

    @davevolskysbackdoor5673- sir, that you posted this, is a sign of providence! I have been searching for this intro/outro montage for YEARS online, and you have posted it! I fondly remember this intro/outro because I went to a neighbor's house every Sunday to play with their grandchildren, the few kids my age I spent time with other than a few at elementary school. Grandpa would dutifully have the Cleveland Browns game on every Sunday, and so I have a deep burned memory of this.
    I know it would be greedy to ask, but does the Marching Band bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum-bum-bum bum ,whistle sound, ticket torn intro companion exist at all anywhere? Can you dig up that from some dungeon like archive? Thanks a million!

    Question- do the Topaz and Resolve programs you use to create these gems require advanced skill? There are some non football vids I like to try my hand cleaning up, e.g. the classic 1978 Yankees Red Sox playoff game, which has been out there for years but in a decidedly washed out print.

    • @davevolskysbackdoor5673
      @davevolskysbackdoor5673  Год назад +1

      Topaz is pretty straightforward. Resolve is more advanced, especially in the color-grading. Still there are auto modes which can sometimes get you close to what you want. Resolve has a FREE version (that's what I use and it does 98% of what the paid version does) which you could download right now and work on -- www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve. Topaz has a free trial, which I don't know if it is limited time or not, but it leaves a big watermark on the end result. Still, it would help you see what can be done -- www.topazlabs.com/topaz-video-ai

      That tackle would be right on the borderline of unnecessary roughness. It would probably depend on the official.

      @davevolskysbackdoor5673  Год назад +1

      @@GeorgeDamon Actually I'm pretty sure that shot of Landry isn't after the interception, as no other Cowboys are reacting. Instead I believe it was 3 plays earlier when the Cowboys had the ball on the Packer 1-yard line, 2nd and goal, and Meredith threw an incomplete pass to Norman and Dallas was penalized for being offsides, moving them back to the 6. Landry knew that was huge, and sure enough Dallas didn't gain another yard on the final three plays.

    • @davevolskysbackdoor5673
      @davevolskysbackdoor5673  Год назад +1

      I misspoke about the 'not gaining another yard' - Dallas did indeed gain 4 yards on third down on a pass to Norman. I just checked the 'One Big Play' 1966 Championship film and that Landry grimace actually has sideline audio associated with it, and both Landry and another player do indeed mention 'offsides' during this shot, so it definitely occurred after that.

      @@davevolskysbackdoor5673 OK, thanks for the information. I was going to check on that myself.

On the 'Big Play' film he is only listed as Technical Director. Steve is the one that introduced the more artistic and alternate reality angles to the films when he got behind the wheel.
