Live television in b & w
In 1960, John Cage appeared on the game show "I've Got a Secret", where contestants force a panel to guess their secret to win, i don't know, in the 60's maybe some free cigarettes and dish soap.
Anyway, when Cage was on they decided to forgo the secret guessing crap and let him do perform an entire piece. Other than the radio's not getting plugged in due to some union bullshit it went off rather well, i think.
Hard to believe that in 1960, television would air this, let alone trick an entire studio audience into sitting through it.
