OT Some old photos and film clips of NYC '50's & '60's

This was something I came across earlier today. It is 4 short compilations of pictures and what look like home movies taken in New York City in the '50's and '60's. Pretty cool stuff- lots of tail fins, & busses & trains. A nice look into the way things used to be
Third one has some good construction footage and they talk about building the new building.

Here is another live footage of Jefferson Airplane in Manhattan, 1968. Also shows people in and around the impromptu live music. All the way up till the cops come... Either turn the volume up or down, depending on your taste for '60's psychedelic music.

Buster Keaton's last movie was a safety film filmed in 1966 in Toronto. Interesting to see the skyscraper under construction with old cement trucks etc.
