Super Bowl V - De-Noised & Color-Corrected Broadcast - Cowboys vs Colts - Curt Gowdy - 1080p/60fps 

To see before/after screenshots of this enhancement, check out this image gallery - imgbox.com/g/5E4axDlg3Y The existing TV broadcast of Super Bowl V had a lot of analog noise to it. I ran the video through Topaz Video AI and it MAJORLY improved it, much more than I ever expected. VERY clean picture now. I also upscaled it to 1080p and doubled the framerate. I then color-graded it in Da Vinci Resolve, eliminating existing over-saturation and a yellowish hue that was present. Both the broadcast and the commercials look like they should now. As I'm sure you're aware, the broadcast recording ends at the beginning of the 4th quarter. I've subbed in NFL Films footage and surviving broadcast snippets the rest of the way, matching them up with 4th quarter Curt Gowdy audio of the game that has survived.

My dad was a Colts fan, I am a Cowboys fan. I sat next to my dad watching this game. I opened his beer at the commercials and I drank about a dozen Pepsi’s. Mom’s pigs in a blanket. You are THE MAN for bringing this memory back I living color. Thank you very much.

I loved listening to Curt Gowdy calling NFL games. There are many great announcers but he was very special.

the striking QUIET of this Superbowl vs current OVER THE TOP Superbowl broadcasts is pretty amazing

Namath offered some very interesting and insightful perspective on the game. Curt Gowdy is always a classic and top shelf all the way 👏

This Super Bowl makes me feel so cozy and safe! I was all of 4 years old when this game was played, and my Dad was a Baltimore Colts fan back then. I have no memory of this game but the "feel" of it reminds me of my childhood and my childhood home during the early 1970s. I love that this game was played entirely in daylight! I really am sad that it won't happen anymore, and that it last happened in Super Bowl XI in January 1977 (the first Super Bowl I remember watching). Curt Gowdy's voice harkens me back to my youth, the music used in the pre-game show, Namath with the very 70s looking shirt, the commercials...oh so nostalgic. And an odd bit of trivia, this was the first Super Bowl where both team's helmet logos were just a picture of something, with no lettering at all. This would be the last Super Bowl where this would take place for another 21 years. Super Bowl 26 XXVI between the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins would be the next Super Bowl where neither team helmet featured any lettering as part of their logo. And before someone objects, the Dolphins back in the day had a tiny capital letter "M" on the helmet that the Dolphin was wearing on his head.

Thanks for keeping those classic commercials in.

I'm 62 yrs old and this is the first superbowl I can seriously remember as a kid... I was 8 yrs old...

Amazing clear footage of a classic game. Your channel is a gift. Keep up the good work

One of my favorite Super Bowls to watch. Despite the blunders, an exciting ending to this Super Bowl!

The first Super Bowl I remember watching.

Cheers to you my friend. This old generation appreciates you very much.

I was born in ‘94. How can one be nostalgic for a time decades before one was born? 😊

Great job restoring Super Bowl history..this really does look like what my Grandma's Philco TV displayed 50 years ago.

The quality of this game is amazing. Loving the old commercials too

I was born in 1970. I very vaguely remember watching Super Bowl 14. I have not much better memory of SB 15, only because I didn’t like either team. I vividly remember SB 16. As a kid I loved reading Julian Bond’s Super Bowl Champion books in my school library. I also loved NFL Films. Watching these old games is surreal for me. Thank You!

This is great. As an 11 year old Colt fan, I watched this. And boy, was I happy.

The fact that the Colts turned the ball over 7 times and still won is astounding.

Absolutely excellent work 📺👀 I’m now 60 and this was the first Super Bowl I remember watching ✨

It's hard to overstate how much the NFL and TV loved Joe Namath in the early 70's. Guy was everywhere-commercials, etc.

Dave, this is incredible. You are a magician. Mistake-filled game... but so many great players.

Cool opening music. Curt Gowdy's measured calling of games. No announcers going ballistic over 7 yards gains. No ESPN ruining sports. No nerdy iPhone commercials. No management types like Jerry Jones or Epstein. No histrionics after a pass breakup. Brings back wonderful childhood memories when the Orioles and Colts ruled.

Somehow you actually corrected most of the "banding" (the equalization difference between the 4 video heads on a 2"quadruplex recording) in the pre-game. Great work!

Those floats at halftime representing all the teams... That was so awesome, so wholesome that halftime show!

Really amazing work. Thanks for being dedicated to all of these older games. They look terrific.

Wow! Joe Namath nailed it with his prediction at 21:30, "it could be decided by a field goal" and "it's definitely going to be close"

This game started my obsession with the Dallas Cowboys. Thanks so much for the amazing restoration and posting this lifetime memory, although it does still sting a bit...

Fantastic, Dave! Thank you, once again, for sharing your restoration work with us.

2:49:54 “A look at the slow-motion replay reveals the extemporaneous quality of this play.” Wrong passer to wrong receiver, fumbled out of end zone.

Improving on one of your classics! These re-imaginings/reconstructions are priceless.

It's great and authentic by keeping the commercials. Thank you

That shaving blade commercial wasn't messing around!!!

Joe Namath was a prophet on this game!!!! He predicted how the game would end!!!!

This was the game that inaugurated the idea of the "Blue Jersey Jinx". Another heartbreak for Dallas, after almost beating Green Bay in recent years.

Johnny U. Love that guy. Old old school mans man. You wouldn’t dare hear a QB nowadays admit “I don’t have the speed on the ball I use to” Honest and made adjustments. No drama No BS. Where did these guys go? Thanks for all the hard work to bring these classics alive!

The very first NFL game I can remember watching. I was just a little kid and I remember I liked the Colts helmets so I wanted to see them win. I'm a Vikings fan but to this day I keep half and eye on the Colts LOL.

Wow, Unitas looked like an old man out there. Amazing to think he kept going for another 3 years after this game. Should have called it a career after getting his Super Bowl win.

I like how they introduce the players with who they are about to play against.

Great Work Dave on restoring Super Bowl V!!!!! I love these historic games!!!!

Always loved the superbowls when they were played during the day! The color of the uniforms look so much better.

Dave, I thought your Cowboys/Redskins game from '75 was great!.....This is 4 years earlier....and it looks like it was played yesterday 🤯. I don't know how you do what you do...but damnit keep doing it...cause I love this stuff and could watch this all day! (Much to the wife's chagrin 🤦😆)

I was 4 or 5 years old and was rooting for the Colts. My brother was a Dallas fan. We collected small helmets and put them both on top of the small TV every sun of the teams playing. Great game. 👍

You rock.... Thank you for posting this. I could never find a full version. You did great on this one.

I was 16 at the time. Had been a colts fan since I was 10. I watched this entire game sitting on the living room floor as close to the black and white TV as I could get. Thanks for showing this!!

They may have been "unlucky," but the Cowboys dark jerseys were beautiful.

Wow what a beautiful restoration on this classic game. Incredible color and crisp video. Thanks.

Thank you for doing this and sharing these games with us. Love it. Great stuff!

You are truly passionate... amazing... and dedicated! THANK YOU! I have three different copies of this game from other collectors. First, I found part of the game via VHS tape. Then I upgraded with dvds, complete game, with NFL Films mixed in. I watched Super Bowl V live with my dad. Your cleaned version is sharper than what I watched with my dad. The audio is so clear. Awesome! Continued Success for you!

Appreciate the work you did putting this video out here especially after the live feed is done.

Great video! Thanks for sharing! I have never before seen so many different shots of the game winning field goal.

These enhanced videos are incredible! Thanks to all involved.

this is fantastic! the first Superbowl that I watched live. A nine year old Colts fan who got to run thru the house waving my Baltimore Colts pennant once the game was over. Thanks for your work on this vid

The quality in all of your videos is amazing. Thank you for doing these. I think I enjoy reliving these more than watching the current NFL

The Joe Namath interview was great, too! This is really cool. Thank you!

Thanks Dave these bring back great memories….🤙🏻🤙🏻😊

Thank you for posting this, Dave! I really enjoyed watching this game. I have a new perspective on this particular game now, as I had only seen the NFL Films highlights through the years. Thanks, again. Well done!

Cheers to you Dave. This is the first Super Bowl I could remember and I have very fond memories of watching this game. Love how you have cleaned up the video to play on todays TV.

Best video of this SB yet! Great job. This was the very 1st game that I watched as an 8-year-old living in the Scranton, PA area. It kickstarted my love for the game of football at all levels. I also became a Dallas "follower" as I predicted, as a child might do, that Dallas would come back from this disappointment and win the next year. I watched Dallas throughout the next year right up until they won SB VI. I was very proud of myself, LOL.

These videos are extremely enjoyable to watch. Great channel!

Wow. You did an excellent job.

wow what a great job, the clarity is amazing.

Thanks for another great one

Thanks a lot Dave for putting up these games..

I didn't start following football until the next year. Thanks for posting!

Love these commercials! It's been a while.

Thank you! These are all gems!

One of those games that Dallas should have crushed the Colts by 14 plus points but they failed in the red zone especially the Duane Thomas fumble. That would have iced the game. It also would have given Craig Morton as the permanent starter if he won that game for the next year.

Thanks for salvaging this footage. 🙏🏻 Your 4th Qtr editing heroics are particularly appreciated.

Beautiful 🌟📺👀 my first Super Bowl I ever watched myself ✨ I’m almost 61 and these were wonderful times to have been young 💫

The crowd singing to the national anthem what happen to you America 😢

Just listen to that national anthem, love it. If this game was played today, the way they’re hitting they’d be flags flying everywhere and people kicked out of games these days and quarterbacks didn’t wear a dress. They were part of the team and took hits just like the team. I wish we had halftime like this again.

Fantastic! Thanks much for the restoration. The video is about as clear as we could hope for....super cool that the pregame and commercials are included. When watching these old games, I am always amazed at how fast and violent the action in the trenches is.... linemen are much lighter and far quicker off the ball that today's players..... pay attention on running plays up the middle how the O line fires out and clashes helmet to helmet, and shoulder to shoulder with the defenders!! The running backs also charge fast and furious into the line. By contrast, in today's game, on running plays, when the ball is snapped, the huge linemen stand up straight and just try pushing defenders with their hands, and the O linemen end up on their feet at the end of most plays, as if their Mom told them not to get their uniform dirty😂. Also pay attention to the violence of the tackling in the old games, helmet to hemet..... shoulder to head hits......hits on the QB after the ball is released...... and defenders jumping on top of the ball carrier a split second after he hits the turf. Today's game is a lot safer, better for the longevity of player's careers and long term health.

Thanks for another classic

Great film quality and showcases my favorite Cowboys uniform. 🏈

I watched this game with my Dad. Thank You.

Dave Volsky's Back Door - Many thanks for your hard work.

Absolutely great picture quality over 50 years old and looks live!

I enjoyed watching this. It was really interesting and neat to watch and listen to Anita Bryant at halftime. Times sure have changed.

The NBC peacock at 0:00 is so brilliant. Better than anyone ever saw it for real. You should post that separately for the geeks that collect that kind of thing.

Love these the more you got the better!

This is awesome. I was just turning 3 years old. Remember the game like it was yesterday

Great job, Dave!

That is a stunning improvement. I have subbed.

Watched this game with my late Dad and Granddad, the memories it brings back even though it was a bitter loss for my Cowboys.

Wasn’t it said that the commercials are the best part? Thank you for creating and sharing these amazing videos

1:18:56 botched call by Gowdy, assuming the pass would be ruled illegal.

Thanks for posting this!

Awesome, been waiting since 1971 to see this.

EXCELLENT Job! Thank You!!

For a game everyone thought was horrible it gets talked about very often on NFL retro channels . My only beef with it was the MVP was from Dallas. It should have been Mike Curtis or Roy Hilton of Baltimore.

Gowdy at 30:55: "a unique event that has become a happening on the American scene." What an understatement that would turn out to be.

Every time this game gets reposted, I’ll always point out the lunacy and likely sinister awarding of the Duane Thomas fumble at 2:24:55 to the Colts. The official (Jack Fette?) charges in and demonstrably declares Colts ball when clearly (from his angle and the viewer’s) Billy Ray Smith does NOT have the ball and is trying to wrestle it away from the Cowboys’ Dave Manders who did recover it. To me (and yes, I’m a biased Cowboys fan) this has to be some sort of determination on that official’s part to award that ball to the Colts no matter what. Why? Guess we will never know.

That collar on Curt Gowdy is magisterial.

Thgis was the first football game I ever watched,...I was 10 years old....Incredible it's on here!

Beautifully restored.

This is fantastic !!!

Wow, what an excellent job you did on the audio and video! I watched this game at home on TV in January 1971. On the Duane Thomas fumble, 2:24:52 which Dave Manders recovered, ref Jack Fete was standing back from the pile and signaled colts ball immediately. Very fishy, in today's world, refs wait a while now to see who recovered the ball before giving the signal.

I was so happy this day. We were ice skating at our friends house - in Michigan City. Then we went in to watch the game. Our home town hero, Tom Nowatske scored a touchdown for The Colts. Talk about being happy. I was from Baltimore. My Dad transferred with Bethlehem Steel to Indiana. This was a magical day. Also. I have Tom Nowatske's autograph on the wall.

2:24:52 Yes Dallas fumbled but they also recovered it. The refs were very quick to call it Colts ball before even going through the pile up and see clearly a cowboys ending up with the ball. That was a blown call.

I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan. This is the first time I ever seen this Colts vs. Cowboys game. It's disappointing that you weren't able to obtain the full game and that half of the 4th quarter was not there. But I'm happy that you managed what you could. You did a great job. What really breaks my heart about this game, as a Cowboys fan, was that the Cowboys had this game dead to rights. The Cowboys led for most of the game. The Colts did everything they could to give the game away to the Cowboys with 7 turn overs. And yet, the Cowboys did a better job than the Colts did in regards to giving the ball game away. I knew what the outcome of the game was before I ever watched it, and yet I was still frustrated with the game as if I never knew what the outcome was before watching it. I was so frustrated with the stupid play calling by Tom Landry. I know that sounds surprising to say because Tom Landry is one of the greatest head coaches to have ever coached the game. But I must call "balls and strikes" here. With there being about 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter, Craig Morton got careless with the football and threw it too high, which resulted in an interception. I understand he was under pressure, but the Cowboys had a 7 point lead to protect. If anything, just take the sack. Your defense has been stopping the Colts all day long. It won't hurt to punt the ball in that situation. Besides, why even decide to throw the ball in that situation??? I know it was 3rd and 7, but the best bet was to call a run play anyhow. No big deal if you don't get the first down. Like I said before, your defense is playing really well. Just punt the ball and let your defense win the game for you. Damn, it was frustrating to see that game. My goal now is to watch the two Superbowl losses to the Steelers. I have already seen all of their victories. It took a lot out of me just to watch this one particular loss. But, I still want to see those other two games, yet another part of me dreads seeing those games because I hate seeing the Cowboys lose. But, as a true Cowboys fan, I feel I must watch those games...
