This is not RARE or NEWLY FOUND.

As you watch the video notice the prominent watermark that runs through the entire, monetized, thirty-minutes.

It reads "from the Greybeard collection" -- that is our own Greybeard, who posted his personal recordings on YouTube and Mega.nz almost 18 months ago, for our membership to enjoy.





Elvis' Vegas Suite Mike Douglas Show Nov 1977 watermarked



It evens says "watermarked" in the title!

As is typical of the internet, the YT and Mega shares have been copied and re-uploaded without permission or attribution. I hate people who do that. The channel from your link seems to be run by a nutcase. But they have 27K subscribers and they're making coin stealing other people's videos. Yay.

I believe I actually have this segment from the show . I had a Betamax early and recorded everything I could. If I can locate the clip I'll try to upload to YT and give a link here. Let me look - it may take a day or two

FYI, as noted, the Lewin interview seen here aired on the May 26, 1978 (Friday) broadcast.

I did some more research and found that the Linda Thompson appearance was not from this broadcast, but two weeks later, on April 12, 1978 (Wed).


TV Today

4:00 (3) Mike Douglas - Guests: Robert Goulet (cohost), Natalie Cole, The cast of "Grease," Kip Addotta, Robert Hegyes and Linda Thompson.

Philadelphia Inquirer - Wednesday, April 12, 1978

Interestingly, the cast of "Grease" were from the upcoming film, which would become an absolute iconic hit. There that day were John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing, Jeff Conaway and Didi Conn. Pretty cool. It would hit theaters in June.

Finally, that Tommy Sands clip must be from his appearance on the same show about two weeks later, April 24, 1978 (Mon).


TV Today

4:00 (3) Mike Douglas - Cohost: Anson Williams. Guests: Tommy Sands, Billy Gray, Billy Fellows, Les Paul, '50 Fads and Helena Howard.

You have a compilation Beta tape there.

Of course, folks today have no idea how expensive blank video tape cartridges were back then. I remember. :wink:

Here is some additional video from various MIKE DOUGLAS SHOWS at that time. Included are Elvis' purple Caddy convertible, Linda Thompson & Robert Goulet, Tommy Sands talking about Elvis & the Colonel, A comedy impressionist doing Elvis and Ed Sullivan in an "old film clip" PLUS singer John Davidson. I've used information supplied by Dr John Carpenter to date some of it

The video is about 20 mins and YouTube wouldn't let me upload it so I am providing a link to my Megasync account. It can be downloaded and viewed from there.

Looks like no one else will stick up for a good-hearted super-fan like Greybeard, but I always will.

He's the best.

Yeah. That's not cool of them to just upload it without attribution, considering that our very own Greybeard is the source for it. Not very cool at all.
