The Midnight Special is a legendary American program that left behind many treasured videos. The special episode featuring THE GUESS WHO 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 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 with zero deterioration is beautiful as if 50 years did not exist. There are also a lot of precious videos just before the member change. Among such topical excavation series, this work is "Episode 61" broadcast on "March 29, 1974". It is a DVD of the THE GUESS WHO special edition. The host is THE GUESS WHO, but other performers include SHA NA NA, SLADE, David Essex, etc. You can enjoy precious live footage of 19 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. THE GUESS WHO (5 songs) Road Food: Star Baby/Clap for the Wolfman Others: American Woman/These Eyes/Hand Me Down World The first to appear is THE GUESS WHO, who also hosts this work. At that time, they were producing "ROAD FOOD" and releasing it. Kurt Winter and Donnie McDougal left the band in June 1974, so it was about three months before that. This broadcast was also an appearance to promote the upcoming release of "ROAD FOOD", and they performed a total of five songs, centered on the new songs "Star Baby" and "Clap for the Wolfman". SHA NA NA (3 songs) Rock Around the Clock/Teenager in Love/Tell Laura I Love Her SHA NA NA is a must-see next to the host THE GUESS WHO. Speaking of 1974, it was the time when Vincent Taylor died of an overdose, but this work was broadcast three weeks before that. You can witness the final heroic figure strumming the guitar solo in superb quality. SLADE (3 songs) My Friend Stan / Do We Still Do It / Everyday SLADE was a guest with a 3-song slot, just like SHA NA NA. At that time, they released "OLD NEW BORROWED AND BLUE" about two months after. Here, they will perform three songs that seem to be condensed new works. David Essex (3 songs) Lamplight / On and On / Rock On David Essex, an actor and SSW, also had a 3-song slot. He had been releasing singles since the 1960s, but at that time it was about 4 months after the release of his first album "ROCK ON". He enthusiastically sings new songs from his debut album, such as his signature song "Rock On" and the single "Lamplight". Others (3 groups, 5 songs) WISHBONE ASH: Blowin' Free/Vas Dis Judy Pulver: Statler Hilton/Sing for Your Supper Leo Cocke: Bean Time Although the number of songs is small, three more groups of guests appear in this work. Judy Pulver, whose singing voice is reminiscent of Janis Joplin, and Leo Cocke, the master of acoustic guitar, are also delicious, but it is the British hero WISHBONE ASH that resonates with our customers. When you think of WISHBONE ASH in 1974, you might think of the "THERE'S THE RUB" era, but in fact it was before that. It was three months before Ted Turner left, and you can enjoy two precious live performances from the original members' era. This is a treasure collection of 19 songs from the above seven groups. It is a fairly diverse number of songs/lineup for this series, and THE GUESS WHO, SHA NA NA, and WISHBONE ASH are from a precious era just before the member changes. This is a disc that allows you to immerse yourself in such a hot live performance for about 68 minutes. A legendary music program released. It is a cultural heritage video that allows you to enjoy the golden age of various guests such as THE GUESS WHO, SHA NA NA, SLADE, David Essex, etc., as well as the superb original master released by the official channel.
