00:00The Tomorrowland stage filled the eastern corner of Tomorrowland where the flying saucers
00:28had hovered in the early 60s.
00:30The stage itself was about 30 feet across and festooned with the same kind of acts and
00:35abstractions that had adorned the Tomorrowland Terrace.

00:56Stars booked here included Pat Boone, Herman Sermitz, Linda Ronstad, backed by the newly
