Mind boggling how this was built when it was

1:43 If you went down that, would you die?

Amazing footage! Man, average americans were so thin in the past...

I like that you got the footage of the hot 80's babe in 80's attire, I bet she is like 60 now. certified classic youtube video I have never seen the Hoover Dam in person.

The still are fantastic too!

Lived in Vegas for 36 years, moved there at the age of 8 in 1978. My parents would take us out to the dam for the tour down inside Hoover. Still have pictures of those trips and man was it an awesome site. 🙂👍

Who's here in 2024?

And it's sad we're hitting record lows every year not even 100 years after

A real shame this didn't have audio.😢

Can’t believe so many NCR solders died for that dam such a waste of good men Kimble needs to be replaced

Company I worked for made a few replacement Switchgear for the Dam. We got a few in for reference and I was in awe to see the technology from that time period. What that team accomplished is amazing!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

8:43 this is the _harshest_ diminished chord that I've ever listened and I'm loving every single bit of it.

Impressive. Hope you got a © before you posted. 😮

Jesus Christ! I'm old! I was 13 when this video was shot. It looks like it's from 1950.

Its crazy how many years of immense rainfall it would take to fill that reservoir again.

Biggs is the man, always and forever.

the forbidden water slide 😱

Did anyone think the water levels of the Hoover Dam in 1983 looked scary like the water could overflow at any time of the day and potential take people or vehicles with it? Or worst, potentially cause the dam do break while the spillways would get overwhelmed trying to release more water out than it can handle?

When I moved to Vegas in May of 97 the only way into Nevada the way we came in was over the dam. We stopped our moving truck on the hill overlooking the dam and walked down to check it out. It was spilling over into the overflow tunnels but not nearly at that rate. Great video...

I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM BACK IN 1974 - MAYBE LATE SPRING, CANNOT RECALL. THIS WAS THE YEAR THAT I DID A 180 FROM THE STUDY OF MEDICINE, TO THE STUDY OF THE PIPE ORGAN, AND IT'S MUSIC. SADLY, IN MY MOVE, WITH MY LATE WIFE FROM ARIZONA, TO TEXAS, THIS MAGNIFICENT ALBUM WAS LOST. BUT LO AND BEHOLD, HERE IT IS - REMASTERED. I AM GRATEFUL TO WHOMEVER PUT THIS ONTO UA-cam. YOU HAVE BRIGHTENED MY LIFE. I WORK AS A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIST AND CHURCH MUSICIAN AT A NICE-SIZED LUTHERAN CHURCH IN TEXAS, AND THE MUSIC OF BACH IS A HUGE PART OF MY BREAD AND BUTTER. MANY THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS UA-cam!!! MOST SINCERELY, DR JOSE, DSM.

I was just at Hoover Dam about a week ago. One big change is the Memorial Bypass Bridge for US-93 built in 2005, which routes traffic away from the dam and eases congestion. The water level was pretty low.

Nice dam video

A month before I escaped my mother’s wretched womb.

thank you for tacking the time to up load this. it was a good one mate!

Thanks for sharing this. My wife and I just visited the dam last month. Its crazy to see all the water in these videos and photos. Hopefully we can get there again.

Holy crap

I purchased this in 1970. Played it in my truck all the time. What a phenomenal artist on a spectacular organ! Now at nearly 73, it is as great as ever!

This album sounds glorious on a good turntable with a tube phono stage.

E. Power Biggs was a master of appropriate registrations, especially WRT Bach's fugues. There is an, IMO unfortunate, tendency in many modern performances of his fugues to start loud, stay loud and finish louder, so that by the time the piece is done, the listener is exhausted by monotonous drumming and been deprived of the wonderful nuances that Bach works in after all the voices have been introduced. If one listens to the way Biggs plays the fugues, the exposition comes in firmly, but not usually with any full-length reeds, which are saved until the build up in the end. After the strong- but not blasting- exposition, he treats us to the delights of Bach's genius woven into the wonderous sound of the master pipe voicer's craft. Only as Bach ties a glorious knot on the package at the end, does Biggs really lay it on loud. All this makes for a holy-trinity; music composed by a genius, played on a organ that is the pinnacle of the builder's craft and interpreted by a performer who really understands what he is playing.

June 1983. That's very close to the time I escaped from living in Las Vegas for three years. IIRC, Lake Mead was close to capacity for those years. At least, I don't recall of ever hearing about it being below level, like it is now (way low). In fact, in the time I was in Vegas, we had several bouts with street flooding. If I ever return to that horrible place, it will be too soon. But, Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam were a few of the more pleasant aspects of the time I lived there. Thank you very much for sharing!

a great classic!

Visited the Dam in early seventies truly a beautiful scene so many man hrs went into its building.

My mom used to sing this song around the house..She came from the 20s! I enjoy ROCK & ROLL 1970-1980s! My Era..👍🏻👏👏👏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's a good thing Hoover is such a strong dam. The Bureau of Reclamation nearly lost the one 300 miles upriver at Glen Canyon on this exact same flood crest.

😊

1:42 This is the tunnel of doom! The one water slide you’d NEVER want to go down.

I like that. Thanks!

Awesome!

I have sent this comment before but will repeat to edify fellow Bach listeners: This album has been released on an excellently mastered CD. Available from the dreaded Amazon - on the Berlin label. At the time I found it (pre-Plandemic) the price was $9.99 not including S&H. Very enjoyable.

Reddit brought me here!

I love this whole video, thank you Super 8 and thank young you for taking such instructive and fascinating photographs!

There's another Spike Jones version

Thank you for restoring this! I don't think our library had the L.P. and of course it isn't on CD! (I don't mind the pops and clicks!)

I was just there yesterday - that last picture with the diagram? They still have that exact one, 40 years later!

That would be a wild ride down the spillway tunnel

So, what was going on, upstream? Glen Canyon probably wasn't ready, yet; and what about the other Reservoirs, upriver? No "Temporary" Reservoirs, either, to "hold back" some of the water, and release it, slowly. Talk about a "train wreck", waiting to happen!

1:32 dem wuz sum luscious, supple, and succulent bum-cheeks!

Here we are 2023. Anyone wish to amend their short term view of Colorado Hydrodynamic Systems.

I toured the damn with my parents in the summer of 1999. Last time it was actually full. While it wasn't a raging river over the spillways like this, it was definitely a steady stream over them. I have pictures of it buried in my boxes of non digital photos.
