The Bee Gees were hosting The Midnight Special (TV show) that evening-- one of several they hosted over two years. Chuck was a guest attraction. The content was less strictly monitored because this weekly show aired past prime time.
The Midnight Special was weekly TV program airing at or around midnight on Friday nights in the 70s. Midnight special stood out from other “live” music shows in that they forbid the performers to lip sync their records. You had to do your shit live on the Midnight Special. The show featured different celebrity hosts some semi regular like Helen Reddy and some occasional. The Bee Gees hosted many times over a couple of seasons. They were the hosts of this episode and Berry was a guest. By the early 70s Chuck Berry was already a legend having almost 20years of rocking behind him and of course a pioneer of the genre. The collab here was spontaneous and The Bee Gees meant only to stay in the background. You’re right Too Much Heaven is a remarkable performance and I hope you’ll do more Bee Gees. Some suggestions How Deep is Your Love, Jive Talkin, How do you mend a broken heart, Nights on Broadway, Fanny (Be Tender With My Love). Enjoy your channel very much!
Everyone reacts to the "disco" era stuff. I prefer their 60's stuff like "I started a joke", "Words", "I can't see nobody", "Gotta get a message to you", "Run to me" or their post disco songs like "Bodyguard", "One", "You win again", "Fallen angel", "For whom the bell tolls", "Heart like mine", "Kiss of life". There are so many great songs from every decade of their career. He can't go wrong. Chuck was one of the daddies of R&R! I went to the Midnight Special a couple of times and you were told to sit and behave but Chuck blew away that rule.
Black Pegasus is right. Fashion was so different. My macho husband had a see through fishnet tee-shirt that showed his chesthair. Men wore puffy pirate shirts ( like Prince), Neru collared tunics and African dashikis. You dont see any of that in the stores these days. A mainstream style of the 70s was a tight fitting shiny polyester shirt with abstract or flowery patterns on them. Not feminine to wear a flower print back then. Minds were expanded & fashion was not excluded.❤❤❤
It's just a sheer shirt, Darlin'. Nothing feminine about it back then. Just the style. Chudk Berry was a phenomenon. Anyone would have been blessed to have had the Bee Gees singing back up for them. ✌
When I was a teenager, I didn’t even pay attention to the lyrics, we were just rocking and rolling on the dance floor. Great memories BP great content lately. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️ Gmaw 👵🏼
The Bee Gees were the hosts in the midnight special shows, they played their music, but also welcomed other artists and of course they stayed in the background in these cases!
Chuck Berry was one of the greatest songwriters in the history of rock music, not to mention the most influential guitarist. He was a true pioneer of this new genre in the 1950s. “Reelin’ and Rockin’” is one of his songs, and like he did with a couple other of his songs, he sometimes changed the lyrics to be more suggestive during some of his 1970s performances.
I was at this taping! After the show ended Chuck did a 30 minute set just for the audience. 1973 I was in college and attended several Midnight Special tapings. Done at NBC Studios in Burbank. Yes, a lot of guys had long hair then, and it wasn’t considered feminine
Bee Gees were hosting the show and singing with one of the guests. Several midnight special performances of the Bee Gees doing their thing, medley 1975, Nights on Broadway 1975. They even do a Beatles Medley❤❤❤
The Bee Gees hosted the show several times during their career on this episode their guests included Chuck Berry, Apple & Appleberry, King Crimson, Barbara Mason and Lee Michaels. Barry, Robin and Maurice played Chuck Berry's backup singers as the rock and roll legend played "Jonny B. Good 👍🏻🤩🏴
Oh dude, you weren't around in the 1970s, come on, you're 40 years old, max. You have to have been there and lived through it like this baby boomer did, woo woo!
Chuck Berry was singing the first rock and roll song I ever heard. I was with my parents at the movies and his song “Johnny Be Good” was in it and I was just 5 years old then. I turn 69 in June.
Chuck is wearing a lace 'see through' shirt , that was the style back then. In 1973, the BeeGees were still new on the 'American scene' & Chuck who helped pioneer rock music was/is a legend
I saw Chuck Berry a couple of times at Filmore West. I remember him ducking behind the amps to smoke a joint and popping his head up with a big grin on his face.
Remember going down to London in early 70’s to Carnaby Street in order to find shirts like this for my little boys. Just the fashion at the time! They are now happily married with children of their own. ❤
REAL REEEL ROCK dawgy pound.. The BeeGees are too cool with their comedic goofyness ..They always were the best at getting along and being kind to everyone
Chuck Berry has so many hits but you will love this one too !!! ( Chuck Berry with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band "Johnny B. Goode" | Concert for the Rock Hall ) 🔥🔥🔥
A definite PG-13 song. You two bickering about clothes was hilarious. Patchwork pants were very 1970s. To me, the Chuck Berry guitar sound is quintessential rock-n-roll guitar.
There was good reason that this show came on at midnight😧 lol I was a teen when the Midnight Special aired. The best of the best performed on this show.
You owe it to yourself to do more Chuck Berry! He was seminal! Johnny B. Goode, and The Ding a Ling song (really funny!). Also, Melissa Etheredge's cover of the blues standard Rock Me Baby! You might need a cold shower after that one! It's fire!
Ok, I was blessed with My mom and dad playing music with Hank Williams., George jones The greats, also I have 4 older sisters from the 50”s 60”s 70”s and on up so am grateful I was exposed to all the different genres of music even my on, which I loved all different genres. From about 2 yrs old and up there was always music 🎶 in our house. Which I passed down to my children from all the different genres I grew up with and new music that came around Thru my life, open mind and just grateful for that.😊
Body shirts were all the rage in the 70s. Lace was all the rage. These people were driving the fashion industry. Today’s people are just unbelievably uptight.
Chuck Berry is the GOAT. Back in the day peoples attire was different than it is today. I like your reactions next time you do and leave your redheaded friend at home!
So nice hearing someone besides me refer to Chuck Berry as the true King OF Rock He was rocking long before Elvis sang pop. Please try My Ding A Ling and Maybeline Chuck is great BeeGees sang coz they were hosting Midnight Special that night. Must have been before Wolfman Jack
Rock 'n' roll means sex. The 70's were great - every Friday night we had The Midnight Special & Don Kirscner's Rock Concert. Some of the greatest rock performances ever right on your TV
Apparently these guys never heard the Dominoes "Sixty Minute Man" from 1951. There's been sexual inuendo in music since it was first recorded in the 1890s. chuck Berry's pants reminded me of the Partridge Family bus. LOL
OMG. Most of what you have reactions to on your channel are songs/performances I already know about. But this is new to me. Thank you for all your reactions, but especially for exposing me to this one.
Burt sugarman's midnight special was a great music platform for all the artists in the early seventies and eighties. If I can remember correctly wolfman Jack was the Host most shows. The classic artists were all there. Rare live performances like Lenny Williams and Tower of Power singing Because I Love You😢 The saddest Song in History 😮 Great times❤
Ok, Chuck Berry wrote Johnny b good which am sure you heard, made a fortune from that song. Guess what, I was about 15 maybe, and I actually heard and watched him perform MY DING A LING!!!! Then think they yanked it off once they realized exactly what he was talking about.
When I learned guitar my first licks were Chuck Berry licks. You need to check out the movie Hail Hail rock and roll. You will see people and bands that were influenced by chuck and his music. Beatles, Stones, Clapton, and Springsteen Chuck is there too. It will blow you away
I was 8 years old. I was a night owl as a child. It drove my mom crazy. I would not go to bed until I saw the beginning of Johnny Carson which started at 11:30. This was not a show I was not allowed to watch due to the not prime time content. Don proved his own point, men during this time could confidently walk out on stage in a purple chiffon ruffle shirt and still fulfill the content of this song without pharmaceutical enhancement. 😉
Your reaction❤ was better than your guest's reaction. (Not a lace blouse).😂 Chuck Berry is so much fun! All the Bee Gees performances on the Midnight Special were so great including all the nights they hosted the show!❤❤❤
Don in da house - hi Don - Hi Mr Black P - Happy St. Patrick’s day ☘️ 🍀💚🫶🏻 Love from Lisa the autoimmune and lyme warrior 🦠💚🦠💚 Also the men dressed in silky tops; it was a different time - the 1970s were a time of men with long hair and a different clothes
The Woodstock backup stank because the girls couldn’t get thru the traffic. The NY Thruway was a parking lot. So Joe DID Have great backups. The poor guitarist had to take over. If you want to see Loco Yoko- watch her destroy Chuck and John’s duet on the Mike Douglas Show!
Chuck was not known for sharing the stage with others. He tended to see younger artists as getting a lot of praise for music that he himself invented so he could be a little dirty to them live.
Look at the buttons to the shirt. Women’s shirts have the buttons opposite of men’s shirts. Buttons on the right means men’s shirt. This is because traditionally women were buttoned by a servant or another woman, so the buttons placed for the person buttoning for the woman. Men are forced to dress themselves.
We have the album that bright colorful purple album with Chuck Berry Johnny b Good it's got my ding-a-ling and it has an extremely long version a reeling and rocking
Neither one of you lived in the 1970s, let a lone in the early 70s. The thin polyester and rayon shirts which were almost transparent were the thing. They came in all colors. Not a single one had lace. Hell, there were fishnet shirts for men and you better not even think that man had any feminine traits or you might find yourself waking up several hours later.
