The Midnight Special is a legendary American program that left behind many treasured videos. The special episode featuring Bill Withers has been reprinted in the ultimate quality version. The Midnight Special was truly a legendary music program. It was a late-night program that aired on NBC from August 1972 to March 1981, and aired treasured videos of stars from the 70s. Combined with the unique content of the program, the archived videos are still considered treasures today, making it a masterpiece of music variety. Treasure videos from the 70s revived by the much-talked-about official excavation The biggest point is that they were mainly live performances. Mime was the norm for music programs in the early 70s. Live performances were a time when they were avoided because they were time-consuming to record, accidents were likely to occur, and it was difficult to predict the time. In such a situation, The Midnight Special gained popularity by focusing on the program's unique live performances. This point became more and more important as time went on, and a large amount of brilliant footage from the 70s was left behind. Although it is such a legendary program, it is actually back in the spotlight now, more than 50 years later. The reason for this is the discovery of the highest peak master. The official channel of the program has begun to release archive footage one after another. And the quality is shocking! As it is a master owned by the original owner, it is more beautiful than any master known so far. Of course, the lighting and set have a sense of the 70s, but the freshness is as beautiful as if 50 years had not existed with zero deterioration. 68 minutes of hot collaboration and guitar Giro. Among such a topical excavation series, this work is "Episode 60" broadcast on "March 22, 1974". It is a DVD of the Bill Withers special episode. Withers is the host, but other performers include Rory Gallagher, MONTROSE, Melisa Manchester, etc. You can enjoy precious live footage of 16 songs for about 68 minutes. The program is structured so that one song at a time is replaced, but here we will summarize it by band / artist. Bill Withers (5 songs) Justments: The Same Love That Made Me Laugh/Green Grass/Railroad Man (with Bobby Womack and Buddy Miles) Others: Ain't No Sunshine/Lean on Me First up is Bill Withers, the star of this show. At the time, he was in the "+'JUSTMENTS" era, and he performed five songs, centering on three from his new album. "Railroad Man" is a must-see. Bobby Womack and Buddy Miles, who will be mentioned later, also participated in the backing. An incredible lineup of performers. Although it is a program that brings together a wide range of popular artists, it is rare to see such a luxurious collaboration. Bobby Womack/Buddy Miles (3 songs) Bobby Womack: Lookin' for a Love/Nobody Wants You When You're Down and Out Buddy Miles: You Really Got Me We've already introduced the main collaboration, but this work also features solo performances by Bobby Womack and Buddy Miles. Each has a hot funky stage performance, and Buddy Miles, who sings THE KINKS' representative songs while playing the drums, is a must-see. Rory Gallagher (2 songs) Tattoo'd Lady/Cradle Rock Along with the Bill Withers collaboration, the European and American HR guitar heroes are a highlight of this work. The European representative is Irish hero Rory Gallagher. At the time, he was two months into the production of "IRISH TOUR '74," and he gives a passionate performance that is like a film version of that classic live album. As some of you may have noticed, Rory also appeared in the same "The Midnight Special" series, THE KINKS edition. In fact, the songs in this and this work are different, but the set and costumes are the same. It seems that the recording date was the same even though the broadcast date was different. MONTROSE (2 songs) Rock the Nation / Good Rockin' Tonight The representative of American HR (?) for Rory is Ronnie Montrose. Since it is 1974, you might think it is the "PAPER MONEY" era, but it is actually before that. The bass is also Bill Church, and he performs two songs from his debut work. Sammy Hagar, who was 26 years old at the time, is especially must-see. He always looks younger than his actual age, but his singing with his blonde hair like Robert Plant is intense. Melisa Manchester/Cliff DeYoung (2 songs each) Melisa Manchester: Bright Eyes/He Is the One Cliff DeYoung: My Sweet Lady/Sunshine on My Shoulders The best thing about TV shows is that you can watch not only professional musicians, but also "singing actors". Melisa Manchester is from the era of her second album "BRIGHT EYES", and she is promoting her new album by performing two songs from the new album. The other Cliff DeYoung is more of an actor, but here he sings the soundtrack to the TV movie "Sunshine". This is a treasure trove of 16 songs from the seven groups above. A funky collaboration, a fiery HR guitarist's performance, and the beautiful voices of singers who also act... This is a video masterpiece that allows you to fully enjoy the breadth of a variety music program. This is an exceptionally colorful piece in the "The Midnight Special" series. Released by a music program. This is a cultural heritage video that can be enjoyed by a variety of guests, including Bill Withers, Bobby Womack, Buddy Miles, and HR guitar heroes, as well as the superb original master released by the official channel.
