What a surprise to find this - I was the photographer/cameraman. I wonder where you got it. I have a film print in good shape that I should get transferred. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for uploading. You can't begin to imagine the amount of memories this triggered. The smells, the sounds. There were so many great games of chance. The grocery wheels, the record wheels, with plenty of bootleg albums, candy wheels, and so much more. One more thing. Does anyone remember a bar/club that had live music called the Chatterbox? I think that was its name. They had some big name bands back in the day.
If you ignore the then-current fashions of the day, this has an almost turn-of-the-century feel to it. It's all relative I guess. Grew up in Middletown. Been to Asbury Park and Keansburg, but never went to Seaside Heights.
Thank you John! Great Memories! Would love to go back and JUST LIVE in the 60s & 70s. (Excluding the Vietnam Conflict & ALL Souls involved) it was an amazing bright free-spirited innovative Era of 2 Turning-Point decades!
There used to be a fun house from the 80s called, "The Beer Baron"? Or "The Beer Barrel"? I can't remember. But there was an animatronic fat lady on top of the roof that would rock and laugh. And beer barrels that moved left and right. For the life of me... I can't find any footage of it. It's looooooong gone
Pleas forgive and the type-o's and incorrect dates. I tried to go back and correct them, but I kept getting an error Message and wasn't able to edit my post😫😖
Guy in a mens room in a boardwalk bar basement men's room: "Hit of my reefer for a hit of your hash?" Me: "Sure." Guy turning around from a urinal with a bottle of Budweiser in his hand: "Hit of my beer?"

LOL! Back in '74 it was considered a noble victory if you won a carton of cigarettes at the spinning wheel on the boardwalk!
I was 10 and remember it like it was yesterday

I was one of the 11 yesr-old kids at the arcade…

I wonder where the Jr. clams guy is today.

th-cam.com/video/_G-hVZ0rIf4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=PeterJamesSmith I remember this one around the 12 min. mark
As someone who went on family vacations to Seaside hts from mid 80's to late 2000's I can hear that fat woman's laugh in my head right now.

Hello! May I use some clips from this in a music video about Seaside?
now its nothing but thugs, drugs, and out of control prices, not worth the trip.
You ain’t kidding

Is the footage of the Brendan Byrne Band from 1974?
It's not the same as now
Nothing is the same
