WTTW Channel 11 - Made in Chicago - "Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah / Bill Quateman" (Part 4, 1974)

Here's Part 4 (the final part) of a local music show, Made in Chicago, on WTTW Channel 11. This program (which was also simulcast on WBBM-FM 96.3) was a predecessor to Soundstage which was also produced by the station and aired nationally over PBS. The guests on this (re-run airing) edition were Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah (bassist Mitch Aliotta, guitarist Skip Haynes and pianist John Jeremiah) and Bill Quateman.

Note: As with other things we've found, this is actually quite rare. Until this episode was discovered, there were only two other episodes of Made in Chicago known to exist (on videotape) - episodes featuring Billy Joel and another with Jim Croce. Apparently, neither the producers of the show nor WTTW have any more episodes on video. By the time they got to Soundstage the programs were saved, but unfortunately not for this ground-breaking predecessor.

This part includes:

Jerry G. Bishop once again introducing Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah, who in this segment perform "Brooklyn Love Song," "For Eddie," and "Corinna." They are still on the last song as the Made in Chicago title comes up on the screen and to the fadeout. (Too bad they didn't play "Lake Shore Drive") :-(
