Memories of 1974. Where Were You ? Updated ! 

Rip Ed Sullivan,Bud Abbott,Jack Benny,Mama Cass,Frank Sutton and Lucky Lindy. Never to be forgotten.

I was 8 years old and fell in love with Disco music in the early summer of 1974. A great but distressing time in history.

Oh 1974 what a year for me. Best year of my life. I was twenty years old young and free. Had a great job and was driving a 1970 Roadrunner with nothing but time on my hands. How fast the years have passed but I will never forget 1974.

Got married in the summer of '74 and am still married to her. Started my junior year of college in the fall. I was a music major and played in any kind of group I could including a few orchestra gigs. I don't remember a lot of tv even though we had one as I went to school in the day time and played in bands in the night. Bought my first car, a 64 ford falcon for $150. The following year I bought a brand new car as I was making a lot of money by then playing in a rock band. Good stuff Johnnyboy!

1974- great year to ABBA and Queen

74 had some of the best music... still a few years before plastic soda bottles began to bury us all under mountains of garbage.

Thanks for the memories! I was 10 yrs old in 1974. Awesome time.

good memories on TV, I was 9 yrs old in NYC. Young Frankenstein, didn't see it till much later, maybe the mid-80s, awsome movie. OMG, and The Lords of Flatbush, Flatbush, Flatbush, fell in love with them. Happy Days, it was my life!

Graduated from high school in 74. Best generation EVER!!

High hopes I had in 1974 , now it is 2021 . Just when there was a hope for peace .there was a few years of peace .

I graduated in '74. it was probably one of if not "the" best year of my life. I had a job in the coal mine. I actually started the night we graduated. didn't have a summer vacation but I had a brand new car and watched most of the movies at the drive in. ours had excellent food. don't remember most of the commercials because I was either at work, asleep, or out ridin around partying and chasing all the women I could. wasn't all that successful but I tried real hard. appreciate the flash back. long live the 70's. thanks from an old hippie.

50 years ago...what a year it was! The year of Richard Nixon and Watergate, All In The Family was the number one show on television, Hank Aaron makes baseball history, The Rumble In The Jungle, Elton John, the top grossing movies that year The Towering Inferno, The Godfather Part 2, Blazing Saddles, Death Wish, Chinatown, The Longest Yard, Earthquake,

great job just getting out of high school was 17 . miss those days wish I can go back

I graduated Jr. High in June 1974 and had one of the best summers ever!

Not in existence 😂 My younger big sister was born in this year! Love seeing this. Great job Johnny! 🙌❤

I was 7 and moved from London to Los Angeles. Everything was so different and amazing. Best memories: Earthquake & Towering Inferno, Billy Don't Be a Hero, my Fonzie t-shirt, Evel Knievel, Big Wheels & banana seats, PM & the Wings, Night Gallery reruns, Universal Studios & Disneyland and my teacher talking about the new rock-band Kiss! Loved every minute of it. Thanks Calif. & Johnnyboy!

Wonderful!! I was turning 9 and remember all of this!!

I was 12, I miss everything. 😑

Ahh the fabulous Michael Landon and little house 🏡❤️️

These time capsules you put together are great! I miss the 70's.

The year when Irwin Allen & Mel Brooks gave us the most memorable movies & TV gave us Kolchak: The Night Stalker (even for just a season)!

I WAS BORN 1974 JUST LIKE THAT GOOD YEAR I AM Still ALIVE TODAY GROWS UP TO WOMAN FRIST IN MONTH JANUARY TANK SILL MOVIE COME AND ACTOR JOE FLYNN PASSAWAY 🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😿😿😿😭😭

I loved this video. thank you for all the memories. 74 was the year I was born. but, I still love all the old tv shows. I have a lot of the now n DVD. complete collections, Good Times,Sanford And Son, That's My Mama, and dramas like Barnaby Jones, Cannon, Medical center,The Rockford Files, Ironside, Maude, Mary Tyler Moore, The Bob Newhart Show,All in The Family,The Jeffersons. and so many more. I love them all.one again thanks for posting this. I loved it. please keep the videos coming.

1974, I was stationed at Camp LeJeune, NC, During that Spring & Summer there were several Streakers running around Camp LeJeune. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sgt.

I had been a kid in England (Air Force Brat plan) from 1970-1974, so your film and video collection was a geat way to fill in some gaps. Thank you.

I never realized all those great movies came out that year. New favorite channel. Subscribed. Well done sir.

I remember a lot of stuff from 1974.

So long ago...very important year for me. Thank you for the stroll

You know, every time I see one of your videos from the past, it makes me want to buy a Delorean, put a flux capacitor in it, and take a trip back to my youth lol! Me & my wife, absolutely LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Another great video, covering another great year! 👌👍✌🏻😎

Ahhh, 1974. The year I graduated PHS. Worked at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour. Became a freshman at Rutgers. My music brain must have been on "hyper-record" back then - I remember great songs by the Stylistics, Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods, The O-Jays, et al. I even went to a Nixon Resignation party!! (Barry Richmond, are you out here in RU-vid land?) This year is so indelibly etched in my memories - it was a time of change and growing up. Thanks Johnnyboy!!!

1974 was the year I was born into this mad mad mad mad world!

I don't know how you find all these videos but I remember just about all of them. The sixties and seventies were some of my best memories.

i was 17. Oh the summer times spent in New Hampshire thanks to the Vartanian family. Best ever

BAD RONALD!!!!!! So glad you included this great cult classic!

I was 10...Goodbye Yellow Brook Road changed my life. My brothers had the sheet music and played on the piano for days! (Mom wouldn’t let me listen to “All the Young Girls Love Alice”!)

Cool! The peppy pupsi ad! I mean the Pepsi puppy ad!

Don't know how ppl find the time to put these amazing wonderful video's together, but YOU are AWESOME!!! Thanks for all the great flashbacks and a few tears missing the past.

Another fine job Johnnyboy! I remember many of these. I like how you bring up obscure movies like Law and disorder and others. Streaking...by god it was all the rage then. Do that now and you get arrested. Do that in a sports stadium can get you banned for life. LOL Thanks again for posting I really enjoy your trips down memory lane.

Summer camp 1974 Memories of steven boyd Rosey Yakavich Billy don't be a hero Bo donaldson and the heywoods The night Chicago died paperlace

Still living in the middle of nowhere- getting fed up with it by now, 💝 Terry Jacks makes me want to cry. Good set of vids .

Great post, i really like all these you put together.Really fun to watch.

Thank you for taking me back in time.....🥰....The year I graduated.....Keep up the great videos.....God bless...😊😊🙏💜

excellent vid bro but some of the stuff you feature here is actually from 73 or 75. still great. i was only 6 years old in 74 my parents had recently divorced and my mom made us move all the time when it wasn't even necessary plus i had undiagnosed asperger's and whatnot so in many respects it was a very sad time be that as it may i saw damn near every one of these movies in a theater and do in fact remember most of these commercials and tv shows (even if i wasn't a regular watcher of them all). the 70's were a very dark decade in many respects but no doubt THE BEST decade for music that ever there was. even the commercial am pop radio hits were great back then. damn sure not the case now. i also distinctly remember people in general were alot thinner than they are now. there were overweight and even obese people then too but nowhere near like you see now.

My birthday is in 2 days. 1974!!! I will consider this as a birthday gift. Thank you. Hellos from Los Angeles California!

I remember all of it!!!!!!!

The best SOUL MUSIC came out of 1974

Time is very fast. In the blink of an eye it is 2016. Nice work.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU!

I turned 16 that year, loved college basketball & was thrilled when UCLA actually had a losing season, didn't even win the NCAA title that year (NC State won). Everything was Watergate, Watergate, Watergate, with Nixon resigning in August. We all saw it coming, he got himself in such a mess. Saw the Godfather II and thought it was great as the first one, also saw one of the best movies of all time, The Sting. Saw the Towering Inferno from the front row--the only seats left. Hank Aaron breaking the new HR record, the kidnapping of Patty Hearst, Loved listening to the radio: Seasons in the Sun, the Streak, Bennie & the Jets, Love's Theme, the Joker, Rock the Boat. Watching All in the Family, Sanford & Son, Rhoda, MTM Show, Carol Burnett, the Waltons, Good times. The IRA bombing Britain.

So many memories!! thanks so much for posting this!

I love how O'conner gave a raspberry just like his character Archie Bunker would.

I graduated high school in 1974, as did some of the other commenters. What change and upheaval our country was going through! We were too young to really appreciate everything about the Viet Nam war, but we were coming of age and maybe a little too self-absorbed. Anyway, thanks for jogging our collective memory.

I was 5 that year, but I do remember you couldn’t turn on the TV or radio without hearing the names Richard Nixon and Patty Hearst

1974 was a REAL ROUGH year for me. got laid off from GM in Flint Mi. late 1973. very tough time surviving for the next few years, let me tell you. I will never forget.

You know you're getting old when you were a 10 yr old kid in 74 and remember most of this at 57 today.

Just being born!!!!!!😜 And here I am!

I was a couple of months old in 1974. It was an interesting time for me. I was unemployed, living with my parents and relying on them to take care of me. How times have changed because now I'm employed and I have kids of my own living with me and relying on me to take care of them. Somehow, I miss Watergate.

l love these! I would love to see "memories of 1969".

I am not a Crook! Junior in H.S. CSN&Y hit the road that yr. Loved my Baltimore Colts!

what an outstanding great time to be brought up - i feel so fortunate

Really miss Charles Bronson and his movies.

Was 6 or 7 depending on what month. I do remember much of this. . Wish you would do more retrospectives!

God I miss these days! Just a great time. Nam was almost over, but not for the boys who never came back, and while they were gone, fighting communists, America turned communist! I was 4, and could walk around my little town, all by myself, and no one cared! After 8 hours of playing in the snow, my mother would force me in the house and NOW, I can barely stay outside in winter for 15 minutes...

I was in utero up until September 4 so I missed Nixon by about a month. I'm 6 days older than Ryan Phillippe, a couple weeks older than Jimmy Fallon and 2 months older than Leonardo DiCaprio. 1974 babies rock!!!!

Cool video. Interesting to see what was going on the year you were born.

Many people falling out of buildings in 1974. The only thing I remember in this was the kid with the puppies. I was about his age and looked like him. It looked like fun...something of a first memory.

I was in Fort Myers Middle School. The vice principal, Mr,. Gauthier, was Army vet who administered the licks for students who preferred a swat on the rear with a paddle instead of sitting for an hour in detention hall. Yes, we received corporal punishment in those days. What an honor it was to pickup his lunch tab in Matlacha years later one Veterans Day. I told him that my brother and I might have set the record for licks. He said he gave every one with love, which I thought was humorous. He lost a finger and a leg in Korea. They called him Pegleg, but he was truly an American hero. Kids can be so dumb....What an honor it was to know this man.

My grandmother was only 20

Oh man! 1974. I turned fourteen that summer. That was also the summer I "discovered" what real and true friendship meant. I commented on another video that I could write an entire book just about 1976. Well, the same is true for 1974. ...and 1975, etc. I have been actually working on writing my life stories from the seventies. Along with my old journals from back then (Yes, they do still exist!) these videos are really helping pull me back into those times. I can't thank you enough for this amazing work you are doing. :)

Found out not too long ago the longest yard was a remake and didn’t know it had an original. Burt Reynolds’s also made a cameo in Adam Sandlers Take on the longest yard!

I was born in 1974. 21st of february Queen performed in the Top of the Pops.

I was 3 years old in 1974.

OK, i can't continue to comment, though i do want to...lol! Just know your work is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Move over Babe here comes Henry? That's pretty rude. What a great video thank you for this! :)

Your vids bring back so many memories thanks!!

I was 2 years old in the LORD! GLORY! St John 3:16! 💓 JESUS is coming again SOON! HALLELUJAH!
