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?! ;)
