The Midnight Special is a legendary American show that left behind many treasured videos. The PROCOL HARUM special episode has been reissued in the ultimate quality version. The Midnight Special was truly a legendary music show. It was a late-night show 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 show, the archived footage is still considered a treasure today, making it a masterpiece of music variety. Treasure footage from the 70s revived by the much-talked-about official excavation The biggest point is that it was mainly live performances. Mime was the norm for music shows 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 that environment, The Midnight Special gained popularity by focusing on the show'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. A number of valuable performances by four artists in season Among such a topical excavation series, this work is "Episode 44" broadcast on "November 30, 1973". It is a DVD of the PROCOL HARUM special episode. The host is PROCOL HARUM, but other performers include HUMBLE PIE, Alvin Lee & Myron Lefebvre, etc. You can enjoy a total of 13 precious live 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. PROCOL HARUM (6 songs) Grand Hotel: Grand Hotel/Fires (Which Burnt Brightly)/T.V. Caesar Others: Conquistador/Whiter Shade Of Pale/Drunk Again The most popular is PROCOL HARUM, the star of "Episode 44". At the time, 8 months after the release of "GRAND HOTEL", they performed 6 songs centered on new songs at the time. It is also valuable to be able to see "T.V. Caesar" live. But even more so is "Drunk Again". It is a song that will be released as the B-side of the single "Nothing But The Truth", and is a new song that was not released at the time. It is a rare song that has only been confirmed to be performed live a few times. HUMBLE PIE (3 songs) Oh La De Da / I Don't Need No Doctor / 30 Days In The Hole There were three guest appearances, and HUMBLE PIE appeared after the main act PROCOL HARUM. At the time, they were seven months after "EAT IT" and appeared jointly with the female chorus group THE BLACKBERRIES, who also participated in the album. In fact, THE BLACKBERRIES was featured quite a bit on the show. Clem Clemson, Greg Ridley, and Jerry Shirley also appear, but the main focus is almost entirely on the bearded Steve Marriott and THE BLACKBERRIES. This may also be a characteristic of the 70s. Alvin Lee & Myron Lefebvre (3 songs) Rockin' Till The Sun Goes Down / Carry My Load / The World Is Changing Alvin Lee appears with three songs, along with HUMBLE PIE. However, instead of TEN YEARS AFTER, they appeared as a duo with gospel singer Myron Lefèbvre. At that time, it was just after the release of their collaborative album "ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM" (28 days later), so they lined up microphones and sang songs from the album as if it were a promotion. STEELEYE SPAN (1 song) Cam Ye O'er Frae France The third guest was British folk rock band STEELEYE SPAN. They also appeared 7 months after "PARCEL OF ROGUES" and performed Scottish folk songs from the album. You can enjoy the sight of Maddie Pryor, who was 26 years old at the time, singing and dancing lightly. This is a treasure trove of 13 songs by the four groups. Although it is a variety show, there are no skits or talks. The host PROCOL HARUM is only briefly introduced, and the show is filled with almost entirely hot live performances for about 68 minutes. A masterpiece of a video where the hot air of the era when "GRAND HOTEL" and "EAT IT" were vivid overflows from the monitor. A legendary music program has been released. This is a cultural heritage video that allows you to enjoy the golden age of various guests such as PROCOL HARUM, HUMBLE PIE, and Alvin Lee, as well as the superb original master released by the official channel.
