![]() These are also rare to find, because Sesame Street Live shows never released their soundtracks until the show "Elmo's Coloring Book" in 1997. In a mix with those, the shows also had a list of original songs that were written for the productions only. While most of the Sesame Street Live shows used songs from the TV series, such as hits like "C is for Cookie" and "Rubber Duckie", they were often remixed or sung differently. It could be likely that Sesame Workshop could own copies of the shows in their archives.Īside from the actual main shows, another thing lost are the songs featured in the shows. Apparently, it had been said that every show ever was recorded and stored in VEE Corp's warehouse archives, however, that may have been tarnished due to the fact VEE no longer owns the franchise. Meanwhile, there is little to no resurfaced footage of the shows before those years, creating near 25 years worth of lost media. Ton of clips of the shows toured after 2005 can easily be found on the internet, but while they aren't exactly in their full format, it can still be a stretch to consider them lost or even "partially found". By the 2005 show (Super Grover! Ready for Action), YouTube and various other video-sharing sites had already launched, and minuscule phones with portable video cameras had become mainstream as opposed to bulky camcorders used in past years. This can greatly be applied to the shows that were produced from 1980 to 2003, particularly due to the fact that recording video back then wasn't as easy as it is now. Full-length video recordings of shows, whether small clips or an entire 90-minute performance, are also near impossible to find. Unfortunately, a lot of material from the old classic stage shows can be considered lost media, as information on them are very obscure to look up. Since then, the franchise has staged more than 30 shows spanning four decades, with new ones typically coming out on a sporadic schedule. Due to marketing confusion, the show got off to a bad start with low ticket sales in the other cities it performed in, however it proved to be a success when it played at Madison Square Garden that Christmas 1980. Sesame Street Live debuted on Septemat the now-defunct Metropolitan Sports Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the very first show "A Sesame Street Mystery: The Case of the Missing Rara Avis" for a five day run through the 21st.
