The Midnight Special is a legendary American program that left behind many treasured videos. The special episode featuring SLY & THE FAMILY STONE 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. Five performances with a vivid real-time feeling from 50 years ago Among such a topical excavation series, this work is "Episode 80" broadcast on "August 9, 1974". It is a DVD of the SLY & THE FAMILY STONE special episode. The hosts are SLY & THE FAMILY STONE, but other performers include Elvin Bishop, Roger McGuinn, Henry Gross, LITTLE FEAT, etc. You can enjoy precious live footage of 18 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. SLY & THE FAMILY STONE (9 songs) Thank You/Time for Livin'/Family Affair/Dance to the Music/Music Lover/I Want to Take You Higher/If You Want Me to Stay/Stand/Loose Booty SLY & THE FAMILY STONE, the main character and host of this work, has a massive 9 songs. There are cases of medley arrangements so it is not easy to make a simple comparison, but usually the host only plays about 5 songs. Their colorful stage with a diverse repertoire overwhelms other artists. At the time, they were the month after the release of "SMALL TALK", but they did not only promote their new songs, but also generously performed the masterpieces of their golden age. Elvin Bishop (3 songs) Let It Flow: Travelin' Shoes / Sunshine Special / Groundhog Elvin Bishop is the artist with the second most songs after SLY & THE FAMILY STONE. This broadcast was three months after the release of their first album "LET IT FLOW" after leaving THE BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND. Unlike SLY & THE FAMILY STONE, all of the songs are new, and you can enjoy an energetic performance that foreshadows the big hit "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" in 1975. Roger McGuinn (2 songs) Peace on You: Gate of Horn / Peace on You All three groups after the third, Roger McGuinn, have two songs. Roger is completing his second album "PEACE ON YOU" and waiting for it to be released. Here, he performs two songs from his new album, and "Peace on You" in particular was the world premiere. Henry Gross (2 songs) Henry Gross (THE YELLOW ALBUM): Come On Say It / Simone Next is Henry Gross, who was also a founding member of SHA NA NA. It seems that he was not in the middle of promoting his new album, but he sang two songs from his second solo album released the previous year. It was two years before his signature song "Shannon", and unfortunately he does not play it on this work. Little Feat (2 songs) Sailin' Shoes: Tripe Face Boogie / Willin' The last one is Little Feat from the Lowell George era. This was broadcast on the day of the release of their breakthrough album "FEATS DON'T FAIL ME NOW". You can't help but expect "Oh Atlanta" or "Spanish Moon", but here they perform two songs from "SAILIN' SHOES". This is a treasure trove of 18 songs by five groups. This is a masterpiece video that you can enjoy for about 68 minutes, featuring SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE, who shows off their overwhelming sense of grandeur and entertainment spirit, and four groups with a strong sense of real time, "1974". This is a piece that brings back the music scene of 50 years ago. A legendary music program has released this superb master released by the official channel, and it is a cultural heritage video that you can enjoy with a variety of guests, including SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE, Elvin Bishop, and LITTLE FEA.
