Are you kidding me?!?! Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, George Benson, Dr. John, Tom Scott, and Etta James all on the same stage putting the rock/jazz/folk/soul smackdown on "Moondance"! God bless "The Midnight Special" for making such an awesome, all-star jam possible!
The talent assemblage goes without saying. What is ever more amazing is a live arrangement of the song that allowed all that talent to shine through. Testament to the talent, testament to the song and testament to the jazz style of improvisation that allows exploration without ever loosing the groove. Magnificent!
this is freekin' amazinggggg!!! just how it should be enjoyed! the magic! so sad that many of these amazing, wonderful artists, that gave us so much.....the music of an era.....are no longer with us :'(
This is by far one of the most awesome performances by virtuosos in thier respective disciplines you will EVER see. Etta and Van who was showing out at the end...pure platinum.
Oh, yeah. Who would've thought Etta James could not only sing with the best but that she had some downright rhythm in her strut/walk. What a blessing TH-cam is for bringing this out.
What a tremendous line-up of talent. And let's not forget George Benson on guitar and calling out each amazing musician. Thanks Marko for uploading this video.
Que bela apresentação! No tunel do tempo, musicos e cantores de primeira qualidade, verdadeiros ícones musicais! Parabéns a todos que participaram!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎷🎸🎹👍
whoa! just watching Etta James gives me the chills, she is so amazing and add Carlos, Van, Dr. John, wow...................the stage is dripping with talent. thanks for posting, what a treat!
Now that I'm able to gain some composure and lift my jaw from the floor....WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this. I've never seen it, and I'm so glad to have found it. I've always loved hearing Van Morrison sing "Moondance", I'm a fan of Carlos Santana, Dr. John, Etta James and George Benson. What an absolute treat to have them together and with this fabulous song. Amazing!
My ex wife and I were actually there that day. Sat on the floor (as we did in those days) about 6 ft from the stage. Quite a magical musical moment. Would love to have a digital copy of that whole show.
Van took a cab straight to Thanksgiving dinner with the Band....he took Mac and Mac must have changed before the show. Carlos was playin' his Yamaha. Don't leave George Benson off the marquee. Etta James was hiding in the back - Van and Etta should have had a SCAT-OFF!! - Thanks for posting!
So this was a Midnight Special ! I thought so. But for some reason this isn't in the You tube clip 15 Legendary Midnight Special performances. It should be the most legendary performance of all th-cam.com/video/O4g96PSzgVs/w-d-xo.html

Hope you're doing well, Roger:) It is something special...
Got to agree with Daddy Tre65 awesome unbelievable WOW
I don’t have words for this. Blissfully and gratefully listening in July 2023….
Stuff like this is the reason that I LOVE TH-cam.
Stumbled across this by accident . . . amazing assembly of talent doing one Van's best songs. Wow!
OMG! This is beyond perfection!
Real Music, Real Musicians, REAL Vocalists.

This is an incredible jam with every performer at the top of their game. Musical heaven! Thank You!
I cannot remember enjoying a version of Moondance more than this! Thank you for posting.
Man, its disappointing there's no music like this anymore.
Etta is amazing.
This is an example of why music was so good in the 70's.....today is a sad torch bearer for music.
An unbelievable collection of talent on one stage.
this is freekin' amazinggggg!!! just how it should be enjoyed! the magic! so sad that many of these amazing, wonderful artists, that gave us so much.....the music of an era.....are no longer with us :'(
Van just absolutely knows what talent to get together. He's an Orchestra Composer of Fantastic Music!
Carlos was brilliant..his entry and superfluous and soulful notes with blusey overtones was simply breathtaking.
A FABULOUS LINE-UP OF MARVELLOUSLY TALENTED ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS ---- IT'S GREAT TO SEE THEM ALL.TOGETHER ---- LOVE ❤️ EVELYN O'CONNOR
the joint is jumping..Carlos screams.... the Dr prescribes..... van delivers the dance.
The best the best the best.....dance under that light of the sun reflecting off the magical moon..😃
This is by far my favorite Van Morrison tune.
They totally "rocked it."
This is by far one of the most awesome performances by virtuosos in thier respective disciplines you will EVER see. Etta and Van who was showing out at the end...pure platinum.

I don't know if it's my sunburn, the whiskey or RSO but this jam gave me goosebumps.
Radio Luxemburg - takes me back to 1971 when I was stationed in Turkey - great music, drove the lifers crazy!
What a tremendous line-up of talent. And let's not forget George Benson on guitar and calling out each amazing musician. Thanks Marko for uploading this video.
Van Morrison, George Benson, Doctor John, Tom Scott, Etta James, and Santana what a super song of Mr. Morrison!
Que bela apresentação! No tunel do tempo, musicos e cantores de primeira qualidade, verdadeiros ícones musicais!
Parabéns a todos que participaram!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎷🎸🎹👍
It doesn't get any better than this. Superb.

Let's get this great music back!!! We need it.

Thanks so much for posting this. What joy!! And with Etta James scat singing, too. Incredible!
A magic night. Fantabulous night to view the Blue Moon ~ under the cover of August's dark skies...
Thank you, Van the Man! ~Rose
This was great - nearly all of my favourite musicians. I was even expecting Fryderyck Chopin to waltz onto the stage.
This is just freakin incredible. All these legends here at once. It sure would be great to find a cleaner sounding clip of it
That's amazing. What a collection of talent!
Now that I'm able to gain some composure and lift my jaw from the floor....WOW!

Told my sister this is my song to be played when I leave for PARIDISE
I wonder if everyone in that room knew how blessed they were to hear every single one of them. WIsh I was a fly on that wall.
One of the sexiest songs out there!
What an amazing rendition of Moondance! Incredible artists and singer ... wow!

This is unreal! Sensational! Love watching a young Van, he definitely could groove.
masters of their craft!
so frickin' creative!
Van took a cab straight to Thanksgiving dinner with the Band....he took Mac and Mac must have changed before the show. Carlos was playin' his Yamaha. Don't leave George Benson off the marquee. Etta James was hiding in the back - Van and Etta should have had a SCAT-OFF!! - Thanks for posting!
Drop dead fantastic ❤
Tom Scott's solo on the flute/horn/sax/whatever that thing is is also badass.
Snake charmer.
Let's hear it for the wild man of Borneo On Vibraphone, very smooth!
Incredible jam... fantastic watching the muso's feeding off each other
Talk about a jam session! Awesome is too mild a word!
man how cool is George Benson !!! bloody brilliant !!!
These Songster's were down ... ALL THE WAY DOWN! LOVE IT ... JUST LOVE IT!
One of the greatest Midnight Specials. Also had Santana and Benson duetting on "Breezin'".
So this was a Midnight Special ! I thought so. But for some reason this isn't in the You tube clip 15 Legendary Midnight Special performances. It should be the most legendary performance of all th-cam.com/video/O4g96PSzgVs/w-d-xo.html
They all look so young yet brilliant already!
Killer Performance ------ By some of the Very Best !!!
Fantastic Performance of some great legends!
Oh, my God....old but so goooooooooooooood.....
Yeah it must be around about that time looking at the fashions and ofcourse how young they all look:-) Thanks.
I've heard about this session, but to see it . . . brilliant. Thank you for posting.
Wow! What a line up!!
