The Midnight Special is a legendary American program that left behind many treasured videos. The episode featuring THE KINKS 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. The biggest point of the treasured videos from the 70s that have been revived by the much-talked-about official excavation is that they are 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 passed, and a large amount of brilliant footage that was at its peak in 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 dazzling performances by the performers who symbolize "1974" Among such topical excavation series, this work is "Episode 71" broadcast on "June 7, 1974". It is a DVD of the THE KINKS special episode. The host is THE KINKS, but other performers include ELO, Suzi Quatro, Rory Gallagher, etc. You can enjoy precious live footage of 14 songs for about 68 minutes. The show is structured so that one song takes over at a time, but here we will break it down by band/artist. THE KINKS (5 songs) - This World is All Show Business: Here Comes Yet Another Day/Celluloid Heroes The hosts of this work are THE KINKS. At the time, they were the month after the release of their concept album "PRESERVATION: ACT 2". Of course, they didn't push the concept on their short TV appearance, and the only new song was "Money Talks". On the other hand, they didn't only play famous hits, and they also showed off repertoire unique to that time, such as "Here Comes Yet Another Day" from "EVERYBODY'S IN SHOW-BIZ". ELO (2 songs) - Dawn of the Third World: Showdown/Bluebird Is Dead The second is ELO. The hosts, THE KINKS, played 5 songs, but the five guests each played 1-2 songs. Speaking of ELO in 1974, the first thing that comes to mind is "ELDORADO," but the timing of the appearance was three months before the release of the masterpiece, and it was still in the middle of production. Therefore, the two songs performed in this work are from the previous work "ON THE THIRD DAY." Suzi Quatro (2 songs) Queen of sadistic rock: All Shook Up / Glycerine Queen Along with THE KINKS, the highlight of this work is Suzi Quatro, who has just made her solo debut. At that time, she had already released the lead single "Devil Gate Drive" four months before the release of her second album "QUATRO." However, perhaps out of consideration for her domestic period, which was not so good compared to Europe, this broadcast selected two songs from her debut work rather than new songs. In any case, the youthful energy that opened up a path as a solo artist was wonderful, and the performance in which she wrapped her body, which had just turned 24, in full leather was incredibly cool. Rory Gallagher (2 songs) Hands Off/Who's That Comin' Along with Suzie, Rory Gallagher is the wild side of this album. At the time, he was producing the masterpiece live album "IRISH TOUR '74", but it was just about time for it to be released. This was a time when he was not only a performer but also a composer, and in this album he passionately plays the classic songs from "BLUEPRINT" and "TATTOO". Alan Price/Buddy Miles (3 songs in total) Alan Price: In Times Like These/Between Today and Yesterday Buddy Miles: Life Is What You Make I In addition, Alan Price of THE ANIMALS and Buddy Miles of BAND OF GYPSYS also appear in this album. They each perform repertoires from "BETWEEN TODAY AND YESTERDAY" and "CHAPTER VII". This is a collection of 14 treasures by six groups. Although it is a TV variety show, there are no skits or talks, and it is a music work that runs through about 68 minutes with hot live performances. In addition to the main THE KINKS, there are many delicious performers such as ELO and Rory Gallagher, who opened the door to their heyday, and youthful Suzi Quatro. A legendary music program has been released. This is a cultural heritage video that allows you to enjoy the golden age of a variety of guests such as THE KINKS, ELO, Suzi Quatro, Rory Gallagher, etc., as well as the superb original master released by the official channel.
