Sam and Dave performed May 17, 1974 Follow us on Social Media: / themidnightspecialtvshow / themidnightspecialtvshow / themidnightspecialtvshow / tmstvshow
Steve Cropper on the telecaster, Donald "Duck" Dunn on the Fender Bass, played on the record, also the Soul Man hit, and cameo in the Blues Brothers movie some years later...
That Horn section was throwing it out there. Duck Dunn showing how the bass is supposed to be played. Steve Cropper and his famous Tele. Can’t tell who’s beating the skins. Maybe Al Jackson. But Sam and Dave vocals are over the top on this performance. They didn’t hold back.
1970s=musicians from a poor background go on stage fuelled by coke and whisky and play perfectly 2020s=musicians from wealthy backgrounds go on stage after weeks of health food and can't carry a tune in a bucket
Sam & Dave soured me on Motown and drew me to the more raw soul at studios in the south. I felt Motown was too pop. Sam & Dave said their greatest memory is that they were the opening act for the Temptations when they toured Europe. They got about 20 minutes and The Temps got whatever time they wanted. At the first show as the duo left the stage the audience yelled for more , so much that it disrupted the Temps performance . This became regular that early in the tour it was obvious the European audiences came to see Sam& Dave more than the Temps. Thus the rest of the tour, the Temps opened the show for about twenty minutes and Sam& Dave got whatever time they needed. True story told by Sam Moore. The MGs backing band also said that the duo got the audience so worked up that they had to cancel balcony tickets as the audiences were stomping and dancing so much they feared the balcony would collapse.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember this old song for the last couple of years. Finally, there it suddenly appeared on my uTube. I didn’t realize it was a Sam & Dave song. Great old song. 😊
@@curtisphilumalee1447Stax, Royal and American sound were know as the Memphis sound. Great studios where legendary artists recorded classic hit. FYI, Bruno Mars was a huge fan of the Memphis sound. American and Stax had been torn down but royal was a museum but still could record there so Bruno Mars recorded “ Uptown Funk “ there as a tribute to his love of the Memphis sound . Pickett recorded at Stax , late American, Aretha recorded at American after problems at muscle Schoals, Joe tex recorded at American , the Sweet Inspirations recorded at American , Dionne Warwicke too. And the greatest white soul singer recorded at American , namely Elvis Presley , btw the house band at American was all white including Reggie Young on guitar who had left Royal due to money issues. Stax had Booker t and MGs as house band , and artists Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes and Johnny Taylor among others . Royal recorded Ann Peeples, Denise Lasalle, and their most famous artist Al Green. Al Wanted Reggie Young on guitar but producer Wille Mitchell had cheated him out of money. Al was so determined that he sent his replacement Teeny Hodges to meet Reggie to teach him how Al wanted him to play. Hodges was so impressed with Reggie , he named his first son after him. The Memphis sound is the greatest sound in music history. Even Motown was envious of them. The funk sounds of the 70s were influenced by Memphis.
This right here explains the frustrations many of his have with modern "music." This was transcendent, as it should always be. The attempt ought to at least be made. Sam, Dave and Band, you will never be forgotten.
I would love it if you released the three performances by the James Gang in 1974! Two were aired on one night and the other was about a month after so January and February 1974. Please consider this. Thank you very much.
El Duo Dinamita es impresionante. La mezcla de sus voces, como transmiten el ritmo, la gente se vuelve loca, no puedes dejar de moverte. Y por supuesto el grupazo que llevan, sin palabras... Cropper, Dunn .... una grabación excepcional, un tesoro, mil gracias.

The dead giveaway that they're not truly in peak form anymore here, despite how great they still are, is the "dancing" at the end. Originally they would kick behind themselves at the knee on EVERY BEAT when the drums go double-time. Here, by comparison, they kinda look like Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake grinning at each other. This is what getting fucked without a kiss by Atlantic Records and having your generation's Ghandi basically get murdered at your clubhouse does to inhumanly entertaining men: It turns them into merely VERY entertaining men. But hey, anyone who's been through deep clinical depression knows they still won. It's all relative.
Back in the day did you ever go anywhere when this was playing and folks was just sitting down, naaaaaaa, no way, they should play this stuff at the UN maybe there wouldn’t be so many egos starting wars. Wadaya think folks?
Does anyone know who the keyboard player is? Both Booker T and Isaac Hayes contributed to the recording, but this performance (1974) was 8 years after the recording. Of course, Duck and Cropper had been on those 1966 recordings and obviously were still part of the same combo. I think Isaac was bald long before 1974, though. And we only have a short 'photo' of the keyboard player at 2:29. Anyone recognize him with certainty?
