2002 television commercial for Nissan’s Xterra SUV set to the sound of the song “TV Eye“ by Iggy Pop. The BetaGems channel also has “1989 Nissan Axis family car television commercial,“ “Musical 1988 Nissan Sentra customer testimonials ad,“ “Rod Serling spoof 1988 Nissan Sentra ad San Diego,“ “1987 Nissan Sentra TV commercial,“ “Iggy Pop 9-25-94 acoustic late night TV performance,“ “Iggy Pop with Guns N’ Roses duo & Steve Stevens 3-5-95 Vegas,“ “Iggy Pop 3-3-94 late night TV interview,“ and “EMF covers Iggy Pop & the Stooges on late night TV 6-16-92.“ BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn’t seem to be anywhere else on Youtube or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads. In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we’re only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area. This upload features materials protected by the Fair Use guidelines of Section 107 of the Copyright Act.
