I think the first live color special for ABC was actually taped at NBC’s studios in New York since ABC didn’t have the tech to handle a live color broadcast at the time. It was pretty common for networks to share studios like that in the early days of color TV. The instrumental intro is definitely a neat find—since many of ABC’s affiliates couldn’t even broadcast in color back then, they probably avoided the usual announcement to keep things simple. It’s a fun little piece of TV history, for sure!
