Thanks.

I would guess one of the myriad of beyers that have that head

Hard to tell from that pic but I actually think that the head is too large for that beyer and might be one of the AKG globe windsocks on a c28 or similar?

In the video I've seen she seems to be a adressing it from the side...?

I'll see if I can get a shot with more of the mic..

Pretty sure it wasn't a M160.yeah head too large.

And was live at Newport in1960. Surely someone from the forum was there?!

This looks like the same one.

i reckon it could be an AKG D2000E - supercardioid vocal mic.

Nah, you guys are way off ..... It' definitely a

Here are some more pics. Ill shout a beer at the Plainland Hotel to whoever can identify it!

But seriously.... I also thought it looked like an old Beyer or perhaps a Sennheiser.

Who cares what the mic was? It's Nina on the other end of it that makes it good.

Why did the record producer cross the road? 'Cause that's how the Beatles did it!

If its 1960 i am with myles and i call akg c 28 with dome windsock

Schoeps m221?

The connection/mount on to the stand has got me...

Are ye not audio engineers?

Perhaps a listen to the song will reveal the sonic footprint of the mic......
