    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.

    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!

    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 ! ; -)

    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.
