Man, does this bring back memories! I was a 17 year-old high school junior, and I've watched every Super Bowl except for 1969 and 1970. I missed those two because of my service with the U.S. Army in Vietnam. I'm 75 now, and I remember the hype for that first Super Bowl was off the charts! I was for the NFL all the way, and Coach Lombardi and the Packers came through in the first two!
Thank you for your service. I wondered how much hype there was, I was born in 1969 and had heard that the game was not sold out but it does seem like there would be a fair amount of hype since it was the first.
@@dougfowler1368 Thank you. If I remember correctly, the game was sold out, and the cameras were constantly showing the 'rich and famous' who attended this first ever 'Super Bowl' game. The hype was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Every football fan in America could not wait to find out which football league was superior...the long time NFL, or the 'upstart' AFL which had been in existence since 1960. After the AFL won the third and fourth Super Bowls, the NFL decided it was time to talk merger. LOL!!
@@felixmadison5736 the merger was a done deal before the first Super Bowl. The NFL-AFL Championship Game (Super Bowl) was part of the merger. The merger was announced on the evening of June 8, 1966. Under the merger agreement, the leagues maintained separate regular-season schedules for the next four seasons-from 1966 through 1969 with a final championship game which would become known as the Super Bowl-and then officially merged before the 1970 season to form one league with two conferences.
I can remember Bart Starr's QB sneak in the ice bowl!WEDGE 31! Watch the replay...refreshing to see Jethro Pugh get knocked ON HIS BACKSIDE!!! KEN BOMAN, JERRY KRAMER, CHUCK MERCEIN.....
I was a seven year old kid then and don't remember paying any attention to this game at the time. I wasn't a Packers fan and didn't get interested in football in general until '68, but then I started reading every football related thing I could get my hands on. At a thrift shop one day I begged my mom to buy me a used paperback copy of Jerry Kramer's "Instant Replay" just because it had a picture of a football player (Kramer) on the cover. I loved that book. In case you haven't read it, it follows the Packers through the entire '67 season from Kramer's point of view, from pre season conditioning through the season, culminating with Kramer's famous block on the goal line in the Ice Bowl, and the second NFL-AFL championship game. Because of that book, all of the Packer names in this game are very familiar to me. Something reminded me of that book a year or two ago, so I bought another copy and read it. I was curious if fifty-plus years later I would still enjoy it, and I did. I still think it's a good read.
This is a epic game for me. I was born in 1967 so I obviously never was able to see these games. But trips to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame with my Grandparents every year during the mid to late 70's I was able to see highlights of this game, Super Bowl II, and earlier Championship games. But getting to see this, basically a full game is amazing and such a treat to see. I lived my entire life in Wisconsin. I've been to playoff games at Lambeau Field and nothing beats it! I was even able to see the Packers play at Milwaukee County 🏟Stadium🏟 before it was torn down. Epic memories. Thank you for this!
I was 17 when I watched this game on our new color TV, one of the few in our neighborhood. Seeing these guys with their crew cuts running onto the field during introductions is reminiscent of Chicago White Sox players walking out of the corn in Field of Dreams. thanks for posting.
I came back to watch this when super bowl LVII is on. The Eagles vs. Chiefs. Currently, it is halftime show, while Eagles in the lead by 10. Looking good so far, for us!
Thank you so much for this upload. It really made my dads day. He was at this game. Didn’t work out how he wanted, but still an amazing memory. Lifelong Chiefs fans. Appreciate you!
@@rustyrelicsfarm2406Being a lifetime Packers fan I'd have to agree but I may be a bit biased. However his accomplishments are very evident and his success is on display. His Packers teams were the "Dynasty" of the 60's. Since his team won the first two 🏆Championship🏆 games, Vince Lombardi's name is well deserving to be on the trophy🏆.
When Boyd went down with that shoulder injury, Max McGee came in hungover from his night out the previous night. He was benched for violating the curfew. He told Boyd before the game started, "I hope you don't get hurt. I'm not in very good shape".
Punter Jerrel Wilson, #44 for KC, covering kickoffs too... kinda rare...Those Chiefs were loaded. GB blitzed more in the 2nd half than they usually did and it was effective. I'm a lifelong Packer fan. We were moving during this game AND during SB II. So I missed them both... Thanks, Dad! Luckily, it was only 112 years before the Packers played in another one.... Thank you very much for posting this!
I was a bellhop at a Marriott Hotel in Bethesda, MD. the summer of 1986. Pat Summerall was in town for what must have been a pre-season game. I was sent to a penthouse suite to retrieve some bags. They were his. He saw me at the elevator, handed me a fiver and said "there are two BAGS in room 1025." I swear he sounded like he was calling a game with that distinct voice of his. 10...25! I still remember the room number.
@@espiritucallejero9127Yeah great story 😂 he only got in bc #86 Boyd Dollar got hurt opening drive. He had a reoccurring shoulder injury. Apparently McGee kept asking Dollar if he was gonna stick out the injury out of nervousness and cursed when he got hurt lol
If you are familiar with what happened in Super Bowl 4, you might recognize that the play at 14:25, which only gained a couple of yards here, was the same play that blew the game wide open against the Vikings 3 years later. (Adderley hung on to Taylor until help arrived here, but in SB 4 Macbee bounced off and Taylor went all the way.)
This is NOT the "full game" nor is it the original telecast. The CBS telecast, which along with the NBC telecast, was lost for decades but was found to have been recorded by a studio technician and preserved by his family for decades, but the NFL to their eternal discredit refused to come to terms with the estate and in effect blew off the value of the rediscovered telecast and instead shoved this bogus version down our throats with the same-old, same-old NFL Films material (which is all they ever care about). Yesterday I went to the first ever public screening of the telecast at the Paley Museum and THAT Is what the NFL should be making available for the public to see, not repackaged junk like this.
@epaddon did the CBS telecast have the pregame? How was it like? Did you see Paul Christman and Frank Gifford on the field reporting on the game and Gifford's interview with Lombardi (where Christman interrupted). Did Charlie Jones and Pat Summerall gave insight about both teams?
The first guy introduced for the Packers was my Nextdoor Neighbor in East Point Ga. Bill Curry I was in 4th grade when he graduated from College Park High School and went on to Georgia Tech. Bill played in the College Allstar game at Soldiers Field in Chicago. By that time we had moved to Des Plaines, Illinois. Me and my Dad drove to the hotel where the college all stars were staying and picked up Bill and brought him back to our house for a Barbecue. What a nice guy he is. A real gentleman and a hell of a football player.
Both networks broadcast this game (CBS and NBC)-Frank Gifford of CBS was interviewing Green Bay coach Vince Lombardi before the game-and noted that Mr. Lombardi was sweating profusely and visibly shaking from nervousness. Apparently, the NFL was putting a lot of pressure on Mr. Lombardi to not only win this game but to do so in a convincing fashion--despite the announcement of the merging of the AFL and NFL in 1970 there was still a lot of anger directed at the "upstart" AFL by the NFL
Oh yeah. There was a dinner the night before where executives and families of the two leagues met. It was said to be more of a staring contest, as each leagues members stuck with their respective "families"..
I'd read the original game tapes were erased or taped over. So it's great to see how the game unfolded. Very much a big brother-little brother game but you can see how young, athletic and talented the Chiefs were.
@@kevinharris5737So true. Give the ball to the ref and let's get back to business. I don't want to see any celebrating unless it's after you've just won the game.
Great to see this game again after so many years. The Packers were my team and they were in the middle of a three-peat, something that ironically the Chiefs will attempt to do next year. The Pack will always be my favorite team, but after these first two Super Bowls I developed an affininity for the AFL and their history. I will always back the original ten AFL teams in any contest featuring any team other than Green Bay. I wish the AFC would have stayed with the original ten teams and not integrated the Steelers, Colts, and Browns into the conference in order that each would have 13 teams. Then, the next six teams added to the NFL could have gone to the AFC, until the two conferences were even in number of teams. The original ten AFL teams have held their own in Super Bowls, especially if you consider the ten spots taken up by the Steelers and Colts in representing the AFC in 5he Super Bowl.
I remember reading in a book about the AFL that a number of Kansas City players thought the Boston Patriots, who finished second in the AFL East, would actually have been a better match up with Green Bay, based on their personnel. I also believe Buffalo, whom the Chiefs beat handily in the AFL Championship, might have fared better as well, based on the Bills' playoff experience. Kansas City, like Oakland a year later, was supremely talented, but just young and inexperienced. Each entered their respective Super Bowls with a fragile confidence, and in each case it was a turnover that shattered that confidence. In Super Bowl I, it was Len Dawson's third-quarter interception, and in Super Bowl II it was Roger Bird's second-quarter fumble on a punt return that took the starch out of the Raiders.
That’s interesting because the Chiefs, Raiders and Jets were so much better than any team from the AFL East, although I think Boston had just won two AFL championships in ‘65 and ‘66, (I may be wrong).
Actually, I believe it was Buffalo that won the previous two AFL titles, although Boston did play in one title game. The AFL West probably had more talent, but the Bills and Patriots had teams with more mature players. I also believe each had some who came over from the NFL, and were familiar with Green Bay. The Packers may have also overwhelmed Buffalo or Boston, who knows. It's pure speculation.
Boy, this is some rare footage! I had always heard that both CBS and NBC had thrown away their footage of the game, so I'm amazed they were able to pierce this footage together! I wonder how much was from NFL Films.
My first SB was Raiders/Eagles. I've missed a few since. Giants/Ravens. I had to work, set VCR to wrong channel. Come home and find out my mistake. Also missed Buccaneers/Raiders.
That catch for a TD by Max McGee was a thing of beauty! If a catch like that was made in the Super Bowl these days, it's all everyone would be talking about and seeing on sports shows. Not so much back in the day.
#77 Jim Tyrer introduced at 0:44 is one of the best players not in the hall of fame. Unfortunately he killed his wife and himself after he retired so he’ll probably never be inducted.
NFL Network cobbled this together because they're too cheap to pay the guy that has the only copy of the actual network broadcast of the first AFL-NFL Championship game.
Not surprising if that . Only watch old NFL games and Highlights. When I need 10 talking heads and every game and play is the Championship, I'll let You know , Can a family go to a game?
Well, Starr's entire offensive line was on the All-Pro team. To Starr's credit, not even his line could hold off L.A.'s 'Fearsome Foursome." Sacked 7 times in the 1967 Conference Championship game, Starr still led the Packers to a 28-7 victory. By contrast, the Fearsome Foursome ate Johnny Unitas for lunch to defeat the previously undefeated Colts in the last regular season game and put the Rams into the Conference Championship where they got stomped by the Packers.
I read once that the second half kick off had to do it twice because NBC who covered the AFL was in a commercial and they redid the kick off again so Curt Growdy and Paul Christman could cover it
There once were flanker backs, otherwise known as halfbacks who split out wide but kept behind the line of scrimmage rather than line up on it like split ends. Some halfbacks became flankers, such as Johnnie Morris, Tommy McDonald, and Frank Gifford.
@@TrevLaw16 Yes, but the term flanker back is dead as a dodo bird. Same with split end. McCafferty is probably the best example of a back who can run and catch passes.
I have read 8 to 12 dollars for game tickets, the day of the game they were offered for free to people passing by, most expected a Packer slaughter and turned them down.
Hard to believe you could actually walk up to the ticket stand just minutes before kickoff and buy a ticket to a Super Bowl. The Coliseum that day was only 2/3 full. Of course that’s the only time that ever happened.
SB is still played in the afternoon. This year and the last two SB have been either 330 or 4:30pm at the start of kickoff. Almost all SBs are now a days are played inside though.
Tickets to this game were $12, and there were complaints in the local newspapers about what was seen by many as a ridiculously high ticket price (equal to around $110 in 2024 dollars). Even though TV coverage of the game was blacked out in the L.A. area in order to boost attendance, it was far from a sellout. 94,000 tickets were available, and approximately 33,000 went unsold.
It's an interesting story behind how the original TV broadcast from this game was lost long ago, but this video was in recent years pieced together from different sources, enhanced, and matched to a recording of the game's live radio coverage. The end result looks and sounds very natural.
@@Stovetopcookie right, but the network erased the original broadcast, because it was expensive to save tapes back in the day apparently. Also, the league was still young, and depended on gate/concessions more than tv ads. It was the 60s🤣🤣
@@StanJana-o2o You wanna talk about cheap? Those old video-tapes were $65.00 a reel! Not nothing, but say 5 or 6 reels to save a Super Bowl was a drop in the bucket.
Same reason NASA taped over their Apollo 11 telemetry tapes. It was common practice back then to reuse tape because it was expensive to buy and expensive to store and archive. I have first hand experience with this. I worked at a recording studio in Los Angeles in the ‘80s. They had a huge room full of used 2” master tape and they didn’t know what to do with it. I took it upon myself to clean up the room and organize the tapes, but it still didn’t solve the problem of what to do with all that tape. If they knew then what we know today, they would have carefully gone through each tape, archived the important tapes, and reused the tapes that weren’t important. Soon after, this kind of tape would be hard to come by and very expensive to buy. Plus the value of master recordings shot up dramatically. We had some old Bing Crosby original master tapes lying around back there and they were treated like leftover junk in the ‘80s. I bet those tapes were thrown in a dumpster after I left.
Ah I hadn't heard that. I read somewhere that it was just taped over. In the 60's, rerunning sporting events was a foreign thought. I think it's the same with Super Bowl 2. From 3 on you can find the full game.@@dansmith498
Great video quality. Thanks. My family was all in for the NFL (Cleveland people) but, as I watched this game as a little kid, something made me root for the Chiefs. Guess I had a thing for underdogs.
I've always heard a lot about how the 60s and 70s was all about running the ball, but that's not what I saw here. I saw a lot of passing down field that didn't look too different from what they do today.
The golden age of the NFL. An older saying from older football players Your a gentleman off the field, but an animal once you step on that field for the game ...
I expected that the Chiefs and Raiders would have been more trouble for the Packers. I guess the Packers experience really showed itself in both Superbowls. The Chiefs 3-4 defense was awesome and they started the game pretty well. The Raiders vertical game offense was also very impressive. The Packers were just better at this time. Is there a video like this for Superbowl II?
It took years to find a tape of SBI out there. New finds are being discovered all the time - just maybe SBII may yet be found. The radio broadcasts of both SBI(both CBS and NBC) and SBII(CBS) are available on TH-cam.
Thus far there isn’t any remaining broadcast footage of the second Super Bowl. There’s NFL Films highlight reels, and radio broadcasts, but the broadcast footage might be lost to history. An unintentional side effect of NFL Films being around is that the networks in the 60’s and early to mid 70’s didn’t prioritize the preservation of their telecasts of NFL games because another source was filming highlights of the games. We don’t get a near complete archive of broadcast footage of NFL games until 1978 or so, but fortunately, Super Bowl 5 or 6 is the last one where we might be missing some footage, and everything after that has been preserved in full.
@@fortynights1513Interesting. Are the videos of SBIII out there the complete game? Or are they parts of the game? I thought I saw a complete SBIII but I could be wrong.
Well, you didn't see it since Super Bowl 1. But it was there on the screen throughout the entire game and never has been there throughout another entire Super Bowl. Most of the time nowadays you won't see it in an important football game, at any time. Let alone seeing it throughout the entire Super Bowl. But it was there in Los Angeles on January 15, 1967, throughout Super Bowl 1 Most people will tell you this game was not important enough, so you got to see this because the game was considered unimportant. Did you notice it? As a character named Sparky Polaski said in the movie "Bring It On" "Say it with me. Sunlight!" Sunlight would look so much better than football under the lights.
Even though this is a pieced together game from NFL Films and the audible is from a local radio station, It's still an entertaining game and does bring back memories of those that had watched it.
The audio is from NBC radio. That’s not local radio but rather National radio with Jim Simpson doing play-by-play and George Ratterman adding color-commentary.
Great football...Back when players were blue-collar men and played for love of the game. Not like now where it's all about money and ego and showboating.
Blue-collar men still play; however, in 2023 white trash and ghetto values are glorified in mass media, whereas in 1967 such "human antics" were avoided at all costs particularly when in the public's eye view.
@@stankbox Actually, Einstein, the uniforms were probably a custom cotton and wool blend given lightweight synthetics (e.g., nylon) were not yet widespread; the uniforms were also custom made in the USA (as were about >90% of all goods 55 years ago). The shoes were probably a heavy rubber and/or leather. As for looking "corny", I'm confident the NFL uniforms of 2023 will similarly look "corny" to some dolt 55 years down the road. Thanks for your opinion -- pinheaded and ignorant as it is.
Best coach ever, coaching the most dominant NFL dynasty ever. All due respect to Noll's Steelers, but they go into second place behind the Green Bay dynasty. Maybe they're even. Either way, it's a joy to watch Lombardi's teams execute.

I remember reading in a book about the AFL that a number of Kansas City players thought the Boston Patriots, who finished second in the AFL East, would actually have been a better match up with Green Bay, based on their personnel. I also believe Buffalo, whom the Chiefs beat handily in the AFL Championship, might have fared better as well, based on the Bills' playoff experience.
Kansas City, like Oakland a year later, was supremely talented, but just young and inexperienced. Each entered their respective Super Bowls with a fragile confidence, and in each case it was a turnover that shattered that confidence. In Super Bowl I, it was Len Dawson's third-quarter interception, and in Super Bowl II it was Roger Bird's second-quarter fumble on a punt return that took the starch out of the Raiders.
That’s interesting because the Chiefs, Raiders and Jets were so much better than any team from the AFL East, although I think Boston had just won two AFL championships in ‘65 and ‘66, (I may be wrong).
Actually, I believe it was Buffalo that won the previous two AFL titles, although Boston did play in one title game. The AFL West probably had more talent, but the Bills and Patriots had teams with more mature players. I also believe each had some who came over from the NFL, and were familiar with Green Bay. The Packers may have also overwhelmed Buffalo or Boston, who knows. It's pure speculation.
@@gregford2103KC beat buffalo in the 1966 AFL championship in buffalo rather easily 31-7.
Sad that very little remains of this game on film and even less from Super Bowl II.
Boy, this is some rare footage! I had always heard that both CBS and NBC had thrown away their footage of the game, so I'm amazed they were able to pierce this footage together! I wonder how much was from NFL Films.
AWWWWWSEME Game. First Superbowl, Classic that started it all. 5:11~ Most Gorgeous Woman On The Stands🏈🏈👏👏💙🩵
Wonder if she is still alive. She was gorgeous
fax bruh i noticed thew same thing
If she's still alive, u should try finding her then get her number lol😂 yea she was gorgeous kinda wish I was like, 25 back then I coulda met her lol😂
To the gentleman who served our country on Vietnam. Thankyou for your service to our country Dear Friend
I watched every Super Bowl live on tv since 1986 (XX). I think it's time I watch the 1st 19 Super Bowls!
My first SB was Raiders/Eagles. I've missed a few since. Giants/Ravens. I had to work, set VCR to wrong channel. Come home and find out my mistake. Also missed Buccaneers/Raiders.
That catch for a TD by Max McGee was a thing of beauty! If a catch like that was made in the Super Bowl these days, it's all everyone would be talking about and seeing on sports shows. Not so much back in the day.
It's funny because he wasn't even expecting to play in the game lol. He had been partying all the night before.
46:38 The WR's stance...
Seven of this Green Bay defensive team was on the All-Pro team, including all three linebackers.
"I thought the colour was great." ahahahahahahaaaa
@ 1:25 is Hank Hill from Arlen Texas. And here I thought that Hank was a Cowboys fan.
Them damn cowboys I tell you hwhat
#77 Jim Tyrer introduced at 0:44 is one of the best players not in the hall of fame. Unfortunately he killed his wife and himself after he retired so he’ll probably never be inducted.
4:19 you know it’s the 60s when a coach is smoking a cig on the sideline lmfao
Most of the male fans wore a necktie.
Some players smoked on sideline.
@@richardtrudeau7363 Max McGee
Ray Scott and Jim Simpson... two guys I grew up with.
I hope the USFL comes back big. I'd like to see something like this again, the NFL champion vs USFL champion. The Super Duper Bowl or whatever!
NFL Network cobbled this together because they're too cheap to pay the guy that has the only copy of the actual network broadcast of the first AFL-NFL Championship game.
Not surprising if that . Only watch old NFL games and Highlights. When I need 10 talking heads and every game and play is the Championship, I'll let You know , Can a family go to a game?
How is the NFL fan is the best Asante call AFL but Kansas City Chiefs fan 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Hall of Fame
Listen to the podcast Pablo Torre finds out.
Nfl ony care about money and attendance numbers they can care less about the history
Interesting watching Bart Starr drop straight back- no one does that any more!
Well, Starr's entire offensive line was on the All-Pro team.
To Starr's credit, not even his line could hold off L.A.'s 'Fearsome Foursome." Sacked 7 times in the 1967 Conference Championship game, Starr still led the Packers to a 28-7 victory.
By contrast, the Fearsome Foursome ate Johnny Unitas for lunch to defeat the previously undefeated Colts in the last regular season game and put the Rams into the Conference Championship where they got stomped by the Packers.
Awesome video.
I read once that the second half kick off had to do it twice because NBC who covered the AFL was in a commercial and they redid the kick off again so Curt Growdy and Paul Christman could cover it
WOW! that would make sense, a comedy of errors!!😂😂😂😂
They literally talked about that and covered it in the video….
There once were flanker backs, otherwise known as halfbacks who split out wide but kept behind the line of scrimmage rather than line up on it like split ends. Some halfbacks became flankers, such as Johnnie Morris, Tommy McDonald, and Frank Gifford.
The game is sort of going back to that type of athlete out of the backfield now
@@TrevLaw16 Yes, but the term flanker back is dead as a dodo bird. Same with split end. McCafferty is probably the best example of a back who can run and catch passes.
I was really impressed with KC receiver Chris Burford, what a great pair of hands!
The flanker. I still remember guys talking about the flanker when I was a kid. Don't hear much about that one anymore.
I read somewhere that tickets were as low as 8.oo dollars!😂😂
I have read 8 to 12 dollars for game tickets, the day of the game they were offered for free to people passing by, most expected a Packer slaughter and turned them down.
Hard to believe you could actually walk up to the ticket stand just minutes before kickoff and buy a ticket to a Super Bowl. The Coliseum that day was only 2/3 full. Of course that’s the only time that ever happened.
3:17. Whoa! Did the announcer say Super Bowl for the 1st time? Amazing history!!
I miss the days when the Superbowl was played in the afternoon.
SB is still played in the afternoon. This year and the last two SB have been either 330 or 4:30pm at the start of kickoff. Almost all SBs are now a days are played inside though.
@@eamonkelley3811 3:30 Pacific time but 6:30 Easter time. So probably dark in the East I would guess.
0:50 Boy, what u got goin on?!?
Tickets to this game were $12, and there were complaints in the local newspapers about what was seen by many as a ridiculously high ticket price (equal to around $110 in 2024 dollars). Even though TV coverage of the game was blacked out in the L.A. area in order to boost attendance, it was far from a sellout. 94,000 tickets were available, and approximately 33,000 went unsold.
That scoreboard was an excellent thing to edit in
My dad, grandpa and uncle went to this game. Pretty cool.
It's an interesting story behind how the original TV broadcast from this game was lost long ago, but this video was in recent years pieced together from different sources, enhanced, and matched to a recording of the game's live radio coverage. The end result looks and sounds very natural.
This is amazing. Way better than that highlight video. Amazing quality!
Set speed to 1.25 game action pace is very true to original and audio is fine as well.
"We'll be back" Yes, Kansas City you will :)
I was laughing that neither NBC nor CBS wanted to save the whole game, because it would have cost them 💲3k 😂😂
What’s the cost? Just save it on a tape or a real whatever it was and put it in a drawer. Cost nothing. Piece of history is priceless.
@@Stovetopcookie right, but the network erased the original broadcast, because it was expensive to save tapes back in the day apparently. Also, the league was still young, and depended on gate/concessions more than tv ads. It was the 60s🤣🤣
I don't think they realized the historical significance of this game.
@@StanJana-o2o You wanna talk about cheap? Those old video-tapes were $65.00 a reel! Not nothing, but say 5 or 6 reels to save a Super Bowl was a drop in the bucket.
Same reason NASA taped over their Apollo 11 telemetry tapes. It was common practice back then to reuse tape because it was expensive to buy and expensive to store and archive. I have first hand experience with this. I worked at a recording studio in Los Angeles in the ‘80s. They had a huge room full of used 2” master tape and they didn’t know what to do with it. I took it upon myself to clean up the room and organize the tapes, but it still didn’t solve the problem of what to do with all that tape. If they knew then what we know today, they would have carefully gone through each tape, archived the important tapes, and reused the tapes that weren’t important. Soon after, this kind of tape would be hard to come by and very expensive to buy. Plus the value of master recordings shot up dramatically. We had some old Bing Crosby original master tapes lying around back there and they were treated like leftover junk in the ‘80s. I bet those tapes were thrown in a dumpster after I left.
Unreal how there is no intact full broadcast copy of this game. It'd be priceless.
I believe there is 1 copy, but there's a bunch of shit going on between the nfl and the tape owner
Ah I hadn't heard that. I read somewhere that it was just taped over. In the 60's, rerunning sporting events was a foreign thought. I think it's the same with Super Bowl 2. From 3 on you can find the full game.@@dansmith498
@@dansmith498the guy wants a million dollars for the tape NFL offered him 30 grand for it they didn't make a deal
@@howardanon7433The NFL is the most profitable league yet they're too cheap to fork over a measly 1 million dollars? Something's wrong here!

Footage of the GOAT winning a SB is always good
Which GOAT from the Packers? they had a whole team of them
This is the first Super Bowl in 1967
Great video quality. Thanks. My family was all in for the NFL (Cleveland people) but, as I watched this game as a little kid, something made me root for the Chiefs. Guess I had a thing for underdogs.
I think the AFL appealed to the younger generation. I always rooted for the Raiders, Chiefs and Jets. Seemed like adults liked the NFL.
This is so awesome.
Very first Super bowl in Los Angeles CA
Too bad no one in the Los Angeles area could see it at the time because of the blackout rules on local telecasting.
I've always heard a lot about how the 60s and 70s was all about running the ball, but that's not what I saw here. I saw a lot of passing down field that didn't look too different from what they do today.
The golden age of the NFL. An older saying from older football players Your a gentleman off the field, but an animal once you step on that field for the game ...
i'm turning into a packers fan after watching this game and i'm 19 years old
Theres something about starting from the very beginning that always deepens your appreciation of whatever you're studying.
Been a Cheesehead since 1966.Some bad years in 70 80s .They have had good management and revenue sharing helps keep teams in Balance.
Watching all the superbowls from the beginning. When does this Tom Brady guy appear
Who knew that had a pause running out to the field.
Why is the whole game in slow motion?
Having a goalpost in the end zone is wild
I remember some of this!!
I expected that the Chiefs and Raiders would have been more trouble for the Packers. I guess the Packers experience really showed itself in both Superbowls. The Chiefs 3-4 defense was awesome and they started the game pretty well. The Raiders vertical game offense was also very impressive. The Packers were just better at this time. Is there a video like this for Superbowl II?
It took years to find a tape of SBI out there. New finds are being discovered all the time - just maybe SBII may yet be found. The radio broadcasts of both SBI(both CBS and NBC) and SBII(CBS) are available on TH-cam.
Thus far there isn’t any remaining broadcast footage of the second Super Bowl.
There’s NFL Films highlight reels, and radio broadcasts, but the broadcast footage might be lost to history.
An unintentional side effect of NFL Films being around is that the networks in the 60’s and early to mid 70’s didn’t prioritize the preservation of their telecasts of NFL games because another source was filming highlights of the games.
We don’t get a near complete archive of broadcast footage of NFL games until 1978 or so, but fortunately, Super Bowl 5 or 6 is the last one where we might be missing some footage, and everything after that has been preserved in full.
@@fortynights1513Interesting. Are the videos of SBIII out there the complete game? Or are they parts of the game? I thought I saw a complete SBIII but I could be wrong.
Well, you didn't see it since Super Bowl 1. But it was there on the screen throughout the entire game and never has been there throughout another entire Super Bowl. Most of the time nowadays you won't see it in an important football game, at any time. Let alone seeing it throughout the entire Super Bowl. But it was there in Los Angeles on January 15, 1967, throughout Super Bowl 1
Most people will tell you this game was not important enough, so you got to see this because the game was considered unimportant.
Did you notice it?
As a character named Sparky Polaski said in the movie "Bring It On"
"Say it with me.
Sunlight!"
Sunlight would look so much better than football under the lights.
Even though this is a pieced together game from NFL Films and the audible is from a local radio station, It's still an entertaining game and does bring back memories of those that had watched it.
The audio is from NBC radio. That’s not local radio but rather National radio with Jim Simpson doing play-by-play and George Ratterman adding color-commentary.
@@johncirillo9544
Still, worth watching and reminiscing over a historical event.
@@johncirillo9544I heard the original NBC Television Audio of the game exist with Curt Gowdy and Paul Christman calling the game
Fun fact: The winners of Super Bowl 1 received $15,000 for each player.
$140k today... not much for modern NFL payouts, but a big deal at the time!
That was more than what a lot of people made in one year back then. My father didn't make that much in one year.
Great football...Back when players were blue-collar men and played for love of the game. Not like now where it's all about money and ego and showboating.
These uniforms look corny and cheap.
@@stankbox You must be some gen z idiot. Thanks for your opinion.
Blue-collar men still play; however, in 2023 white trash and ghetto values are glorified in mass media, whereas in 1967 such "human antics" were avoided at all costs particularly when in the public's eye view.
@@stankbox Actually, Einstein, the uniforms were probably a custom cotton and wool blend given lightweight synthetics (e.g., nylon) were not yet widespread; the uniforms were also custom made in the USA (as were about >90% of all goods 55 years ago). The shoes were probably a heavy rubber and/or leather. As for looking "corny", I'm confident the NFL uniforms of 2023 will similarly look "corny" to some dolt 55 years down the road. Thanks for your opinion -- pinheaded and ignorant as it is.
@@stankbox Spoken like a true Gen Z idiot.
40:45 You know 24 Fred The Hammer has had enough. He wanted to rip Taylor's leg off and come back for seconds after the ref ended the play. 😅
Best coach ever, coaching the most dominant NFL dynasty ever. All due respect to Noll's Steelers, but they go into second place behind the Green Bay dynasty. Maybe they're even. Either way, it's a joy to watch Lombardi's teams execute.
The AFL signed a lucrative $38 M TV deal.
THE RECIVER THAT CATCHES THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN WAS DRUNK
Ray Scott was the announcer for Super Bowl I
52:44The Hammer got hurt making a tackle. I always heard he ran into the goal posts. Even the announcer was like "he got leveled" No he didn't.
@thankgodimblack370 yes he was, there is video of Dave Robinson and Jerry Kramer talking about this, you gotta see it in slow motion to see. And don’t me wrong I love the hammer
Fred "Hammer" Williamson talked so much before the game but got shut up - knocked out of the game - by Donny Anderson.
Watch on 1.25 x speed for a more realistic play speed.
It still amazes me that Fred Arbanas the Chiefs’ receiver could play pro football with only one eye.
I wish they still ran out lik this now
They really took the defensive players for granted back then. Didn't even bother to announce their positions and names 😂
The goal post is hurting my brain 😂
