These videos are incredible. Thank you so much for these. Had no idea this show gave a crap about progressive rock. Not only that the more "culty" types like King Crimson and Peter Gabriel era Genesis. Rather than say Yes or ELP. Love them also but they both were huge and there's no shortage of live footage of those two acts.

My mom worked at the state supreme court, one of their law clerks live not far away and he used to come over and watch The midnight special with me on Friday nights. He became a lifelong friend. When I went off to college he was kind enough to send me a subscription to Playboy magazine. I was reminded of him because of the nitty gritty dirt band appearance here, one Friday night he showed up a few hours early with their album will The circle be unbroken and proceeded to give my very young and rock and roll obsessed self a lesson on American music. Anyone who has never listened to this album you really should not only is it amazing but there are some true Legends recording with the dirt band on it.

I can rember being 8 or 9 sitting up alone waiting for old Wolf Man Jack. I remember seeing Ac/Dc and kiss for the first time on here. Elton John couldn’t wait til my new favorite hit had came out to see it performed on here. Some of the groups tripped me out first time seeing them. Meat loaf. Freddy Mercury with his black on one side white on the other. I’m not sure which song I fell in love with a lot of groups on here. I loved Motown. Spinners,Four Tops Chuck Berry. Could he play a guitar. He wasn’t recognized like he should’ve been. And when he went across that stage doing his lil dance. I loved him. Journey, Todd Rundgren , kiss really tripped some people out. When they were thru it got so quiet the audience was like what was that lol. My first rock concert 13 yrs old Kiss. At 10 Elvis Presley. I don’t remember him on here. I was broken hearted when midnight Special went off the air. But thanks to RU-vid. I watch it a lot now.

Auto tune & pitch correction is death to older live music performances. Re-releasing Eagles music after the death of Randy Meisner has been met with hideous destruction. Misguided producers & engineers are auto tuning and pitch correcting away all the nuances of what made our music from the sixties, seventies and eighties so great! It is very noticeable. It changes the historical sound of the song. A recording of Take It To The Limit from 1977, has been replaced with an auto tuned pitch corrected version! Meisner's opening to the song ( All alone at the end of the evening) has very noticeable voice fluctuations. It is not out of tune! He does go sharp on one note, one, but it works perfectly with the pitch of the iconic opening line. You have to check it out. Notice how the engineers have straightened the sound out so Randy sounds like he is holding the note instead of the usual flutters and slides that occur in moving the melody along. It is hard to explain but I know there are music purists out there that understand what I am trying to say. Please check it out.

Don Mcleans fingerpicking leaves me in awe, playing crescendos , stringlines, and counterpoint on an instrument in addition to a very special vocal ability, a one man orchestra. Has the potential to be a inspiring song writer, don't you think?

What a wonderful surprise! Today is Saturday, but we got a full-length episode of "The Midnight Special." I remember hearing the song "Vincent " by "Don McLean" as an adult, and I never looked at the painting "Starry Night," which is one of my favorite paintings, in the same way. To be able to look at a painting and be able to interpret it into a song the way he did really changed the way I looked at the painting. In those days, that's why music was so good. They were able to touch one's soul with a simple song. "Danny's Song," to be able to write a gift of a song to someone special thst was so descriptive about that beautiful moment they were experiencing. "Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee"... "People Get Ready" ... the line that really jumped out at me... "Faith is the key." When are we gonna go back to our roots? Happy Saturday... thank you for sharing! 💖

Love Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, cool to see them on the show. I grew up as a kid listening to them, saw them at our local county fair one year. I've always been a fan of the 70's 'crossover" groups like Nitty Gritty, Poco, The Eagles, Firefall, etc.

The comedian is better at music than most of today's artists. Now to be fair, Steve Martin is an absolute genius.

Aw man the memories! Ann Murray is one of a very few singers that could come slightly close to Karen Carpenter in quality of vocal. Judith Durham of The Seekers is my all time favorite singer!
