The Midnight Special is a legendary American program that left behind many treasured videos. The special episode of THE FOUR TOPS will be reprinted in the ultimate quality version. A special release has been decided. 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, broadcasting 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. Speaking of music programs in the early 70s, mime was the norm. 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 shining 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. A masterpiece episode with a wide range of delicious performers Among such a topical excavation series, this work is "Episode 45" broadcast on "December 7, 1973". It is a DVD of the THE FOUR TOPS special episode. The host is THE FOUR TOPS, but other performers include DR. HOOK & THE MEDICINE SHOW, MOTT THE HOOPLE, Todd Rundgren, etc. You can enjoy precious live footage of 16 songs for about 68 minutes. The show is structured so that one song is replaced at a time, but here we will break it down by band/artist. THE FOUR TOPS (5 songs + α) ・Main Street People: Sweet Understanding Love/One Woman Man ・Medley: Love Music/Reach Out I'll Be There/Standing In The Shadows Of Love ・Others: I Can't Help Myself/Keeper Of The Castle First up is THE FOUR TOPS, who also hosts this show. At the time of the broadcast, they performed seven songs, including new songs, three months after the release of "MAIN STREET PEOPLE". Three of the songs are compiled into a medley that is also familiar from "LIVE & IN CONCERT", and the performance is like a video of that traditional album. DR. HOOK & THE MEDICINE SHOW (3 songs) The Cover Of Rolling Stone / Life Ain't Easy / Insane Asylum The next band to be featured after THE FOUR TOPS is country rock band DR. HOOK. At the time, they released "BELLY UP!" two months after the album was released. They also performed their new song "Life Ain't Easy," but they also performed a wide selection of their early repertoire. MOTT THE HOOPLE (2 songs) Revolution: Drivin' Sister / Hymn For The Dudes MOTT THE HOOPLE, who is probably the most familiar to our customers, also appeared. It was six months after the release of "MOTT," but here they performed two new songs with passion. They are dedicated to promoting their new album. Todd Rundgren (2 songs) Something / Anything? (Hello It's Me): Black Maria / Hello It's Me Todd Rundgren is the most eye-catching with his glamorous worldview. At that time, "TODD" had already been completed, but perhaps because the recording was made at a different time, they performed two songs from "SOMETHING/ANYTHING?". The full-on psychedelic performance is truly a cultural heritage-level treasure. Others (2 songs) Shawn Phillips: Baby's Breakthrough John Mayall: California Campground 73 [Ten Years Are Gone] This work also features Shawn Phillips, a folk rock singer-songwriter, and John Mayall, a British blues great. The funk blues that blows and flies is particularly exquisite. The charm of "The Midnight Special" is that you can encounter such treasure footage. This is a collection of 16 treasures from the above six groups. Although it is a variety show, the main role is still the live stage performance. With only a brief introduction to the hosts THE FOUR TOPS, the show is filled with almost entirely hot live performances for about 68 minutes. This is a masterpiece episode that had a very delicious lineup even in the same series. Please enjoy the best master of the official excavation. A legendary music program has been released. This is a superb original master released by the official channel, and is a cultural heritage video that allows you to enjoy the golden age of various guests such as THE FOUR TOPS, DR.
