When we get to Heaven we all have a full head of hair like that. And a guitar. And back up singers. And a hit song that's so cool even James Bond digs it.
If you get there.Hopefully but without Jesus as your intercessor you may get there but you won’t enter in.Please make sure you get in through Him!God bless Johnny Rivers and all In Jessica name.🙏😇❤️
When I first heard this on the radio, I felt like I really wanted to grow up so I could be part of a story like this. Awesome songwriting, arrangement, and performances.
I saw Johnny Rivers in concert with my girlfriend. She couldn't believe that I was so excited about seeing and hearing him. My Godchildren enjoy him too.🤔😊👍
My favorite by Johnny Rivers will always be "Slow Dancin" (Swayin To The Music) DJ Dale at the rollersksting I used to frequent as a teen, made sure that was always in the lineup for couples. Phenomenal Memories... Good Times! Happy Monday... thank you for sharing! 💖
That's from a Baby Boomer Nostalgia Fest episode. I didn't know they made those that late. 🚨 I looked it up in an episode guide and it said it was on October 15 if you care to fix that minor detail.
Wow! What a nice surprise! I love Johnny Rivers! Secret Agent Man is such a cool song! Reminds me of Bond Movies, Get Smart, The Pink Panther, etc. that whole 60s vibe with the guitar! Seventh Son as a bonus was awesome! Great live performance here 🔥🔥😎💜 Midnight Special comes through again!
I've heard Secret Agent Man in commercials. That song "Seventh Son" I've never heard of. I've heard of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden but that's about it.
This is a question for Burt Sugarman. How expensive was it to have the artist’s name Backdrop produced in Neon? What the hell did you do with them after their performance?
GREAT to see this one!! I know this sounds nit-picky, but shouldn't the date be 15 October 1976 (which was a Friday), and NOT 19 October 1976 (a Tuesday)? I know that "The Midnight Special" always aired on a Friday night, and this date would make it a Tuesday night...plus IMDB says it was that date too....just saying...
JR : Not All Mr Wonderful, according to the KING. ELvis claimed he had been working on a Cover of Chuck Berry's Memphis but was encountering problems getting the arrangement Right. ELvis played the Latest version that he had for Johnny Rivers to hear & within a short period of time ELvis hears Rivers' version on the Radio & according to someone close, Mr Presley just shook his head. I bet that got Rivers off "E's" Cmas Card List, REAL FAST ! ; -)
He kinda looks like a 70s porn star, but has a great performance here. I would guess he eventually plays his version of the midnight special at some point, yes?
Fantastic performer, but with an absolutely horrible personality. I didn't catch him on a bad day, either, as I've been told by people who worked with him as far back as the mid 60s that the way I found him when I met him is the way he's always been. Such a shame.

Johnny Rivers should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Amen.
Amen❤

called a perm

Outstanding bridge from one song to another. Just a great performance.
Underrated and should be in the rock hall of fame
DEFINITELY!!!!
One of the great rockers. Totally integrity. And still rockin’. He deserves more recognition.
Falo aqui do Brasil, o sucesso dele aqui é gigantesco. Até hoje ainda se mantém
One of my favourite albums is "johnny Rivers Live at the Whisky A-go-go". An underrated rock artist of the finest calibre.
Truly great album
It's a damn good album, you're right.
Johnny Rivers is actually still a wonderful and youthful performer. If you get a chance, definitely go to see him. One of the best shows I ever saw.
When I first heard this on the radio, I felt like I really wanted to grow up so I could be part of a story like this. Awesome songwriting, arrangement, and performances.
Johnny Rivers had about 4 distinctive eras in his long great career.
He is also the singer who sings the Midnight Special theme song.
Johnny looks like everyone’s 1976 yearbook photo.
No one at my high school had epic hair like that!
Just a legend!
Absolutely!
nice tight performance - we need more of this today…
I saw Johnny Rivers in concert with my girlfriend. She couldn't believe that I was so excited about seeing and hearing him. My Godchildren enjoy him too.🤔😊👍
The King of the remake and excellent at it. Just love his distinctive voice.
My favorite by Johnny Rivers will always be "Slow Dancin" (Swayin To The Music)
DJ Dale at the rollersksting I used to frequent as a teen, made sure that was always in the lineup for couples.
Phenomenal Memories... Good Times!
Happy Monday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Mine too! I love when he performed it on the show!
I forgot about that one. I like that one, too. 😊✨
His absolute best and the only song he ever wrote that was a hit.
@@davidf3883 I agree.
Thank you for sharing! 💖
@@davidf3883 he didn't write Swaying to the Music (Slow Dancing) he wrote Poor Side of Town which was his only #1 hit record
Oh yeah gorgeous little backup sister's singing the Super perm jewfro from the 70s cool guitar
Slight correction. That's a wopfro. He 's of Italian descent
@@theseeingeye454 yes he Italian his given name is John Henry Rimstella
That shit was awesome!!! He can really play and the band was crakin’!!! Wow!!!
Johnny Rivers, a real guitar player - who knew? Never saw him actually perform until now.
Yeah, he actually played solo himself.
The Marvel of the Midnight Special!
I never thought to look up to see what Johnny Rivers looked like. Thanks for posting.
Who's heard the Spanish version in Repo Man? El Hombre Secreto
This also includes The Seventh Son! Not sure if you normally include multiple songs in a medley in the video title
Incredible!

Wow, I didn't know what that "other song" was. You learn something new everyday on the Midnight Special TH-cam channel.
@gregoryduncan3067 You mean you've never heard of it? Or you just didn't recognize it?
I've heard Secret Agent Man in commercials. That song "Seventh Son" I've never heard of. I've heard of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden but that's about it.
@@gregoryduncan3067 Now I want to hear Iron Maiden make a concept album about spies...Secret Agent of a Secret Agent ;)
@@StephanieJeanneNah, they've had their share of flops.
Sing along! SECRET ASIAN MAN!
That's how I sang it with him, too,
until today.😅
vowel substitution
❤❤❤
Anyone know who the various musicians are playing with Johnny here? Killer band!
i’m playing piano
Sempre sonhei em vê-lo cantando com as Bak vocal.lindo demais
Always thought the lyric was “Secret
‘Asian’ Man” when 1st hearing on the radio years ago. “Agent” comes out clear as a bell here though 😂

My ring tone 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂

Darlene era o nome de sua bak vocal .. sensacional
Tight little backing band.
All through my childhood I thought he was singing "Secret Asian Man"
Tema eterno para Bond. 007.😊😊😊
Would have been a great theme for "The Man From U.N.C.l.E."...lol
He kinda looks like a 70s porn star, but has a great performance here. I would guess he eventually plays his version of the midnight special at some point, yes?
a different spin on covering this iconic tune....

Secret "Asian Man" 🤣🤣🤣
Listen very carefully.
Secret Asian Man..... wait holdup?

camera operator is awful
Fantastic, JR the bast!!
