@@frankpontone2139it’s true. Alan had that old soul delta falsetto that Robert Johnson used and little Blind Lemon in there too. And his guitar as well.
The variety of styles in these episodes never ceases to amaze me. What a musical time it was. Those lessons have been lost. May this channel help bring the spirit back.
Yes it was a great time for music. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Local bands were Sly and The Family Stone, Santana, Eddie Money, Jefferson Airplane, Boz Skaggs, CSN&Y, The Pointers Sister's, CCR and more. Live music was affordable and accessible. Now it is a luxury. Have you seen concert ticket prices these days?
@@adc2327 But for *most* of the people in the country we grew up listening to maybe five radio stations playing the dullest music available. We would occasionally see strange bands on SNL like the B52s and Devo but to us they were just one-off bands that made no sense. For example we didn't even know New Wave existed as a music style until around 1981 when a guy moved to our town and brought his records. He made tapes of his favorite bands which we had never heard of before. These tapes were passed around school, then fans of this music went to the record store and ordered the albums out of a big catalog. Of course 95% of the kids in school had zero interest in these weird bands. That's the musical bubble that I and millions of other kids grew up in during this period.
Maybe it was because we had so much freedom. I had little adult supervision, as long as mom didn't get a call from a neighbor, or I didn't show up in the back of a police cruiser, and made it home by the time the streetlights came on, it was all good.
@@robmatlock7675 😂 So true, Rob you crack me up! My older~youngest brother was always getting “caught” doing harmless stuff. Police brought him home one night for hanging out with friends at new apartments being built, my mom yelled “I don’t ever want the 👮♀️’s to bring you home again!!” Funnily, me & my 11yr old friend would ride our bikes there during daylight hours after the framer’s had left, pick up their glass pop bottles & go buy candy with the money; after jumping out of the 2nd story into the huge pile of sand, U~Totem store nearby. Ahh sweet memories of cavities and youth! Wheeee!
@@robmatlock7675 Haha Great memory! I worked for QT in accounting, Chester Cadieux was a hell of an entrepreneur! He’d walk through the building saying hi to everyone. On United Way “day of caring” he was painting the kitchen along w/employees at a camp fire girl camp that I had attended as a young girl, learned to swim there.
@@KittyGrizGriz Cool, I met him one when I had a pay dispute, he came in and apologized for my manager shorting my check, your right he really cared for his people.
Great hearing and seeing Brian Auger again. He and this band were unbelievable in the seventies. So happy to hear he's still around and still kickin' musical a$$!
The B.W. Stevenson performance is gold! I was doing musical cartwheels in my head as I enjoyed this unseen (by me) treasure. The arrangement and the visuals were a delight.
There is a crazy amount of history in this video. The backing band for Brenda Patterson featured Buddy Randell (sax and vocals), Beau (lead guitar) and John Charles of the Knockerbockers! Buddy Randell played in a band in the 1960s with Gary Wright!
Ahhhh, the good old days! I was a small child but I remember seeing this show. We had so many talented bands and singers back then. I wouldn't be a kid now for all the money in the world.
Wilson Pickett 🎶 Na Na Na, Na Na 🎶 that made me feel darn good too! Love the HEAT!!! ☄️☄️☄️and Freddy’s Dead song. Recognize Gary Wright & Spooky Tooth, he’s so handsome and talented, RIP🥀🕊️, who’s the lead guitarist? He reminds me of Mick Jones of Foreigner band. Lots of great diverse musicians tonight! Ty 😅
The Chi-Lites song "Oh Girl" on the 45 single edited version did not had the line "Have you ever seen such a helpless man whoa" & then fades out on the album version. Singer Paul Young did the remake in 1990.
Reminds me of KAKC the local hits station, Skynyrd would be followed by the Spinners, Buck Owens, then The Association, then Gladys Knight. I loved the variety, now stations are to focused on a single genre.
Thanks for this! People today couldn't even imagine an entire weekly show of the "big stars" of today singing and playing live. And for "real" live--not the overproduced, programmed, pre-recorded, dead-on-delivery "live" performances you get today on SNL and the Grammys. Even the folks on midnight special who you've never heard of were more talented than 99% of the "artists" we get today.
Amazing! I don't remember "Spooky Tooth" as a band at all. even watching MS all the time in the '70s! But, I thought I saw singer Gary Wright ("Dream Weaver") singing in the band. It was him! He was part of that band on this MS in '73!
What an excellent performance by Spooky Tooth! I especially love the split screen vocals between Gary Wright and lead vocalist, Mike Harrison, @ 41:01 . Nicely done..
Another great mix of music, a wide range, with lot's of soul and blues. Wicked Wilson gives another excellent job as host (and singer). Brian Auger and Brenda Patterson were unknown to be, but they were so good, I don't know how. I have loved "My Maria" for years, but this is the first time I've seen B.W. Stevenson, so much talent, so little time. I know Spooky Tooth by reputation and by the fact Gary Wright and Mick Jones started in the band, first time I've heard them, I will go back and listen to their albums. The Chi-lites (From Chicago, know I know where their name comes from) Oh Girl closed out my 7th grad spring dance, I was too scared to ask a girl to dance, but I remember being there. I caught up on the live chat. Salt and Pepper hair with brown streaks, Pickwick's "Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, mom would let me join "Columbia House", but I ended up paying for my girlfriend's monthly 8-tracks. I had K-Tell's Rock hits of 77. Side note K-tell speed up songs slightly during recording and eliminated the space between songs to cram more on the albums. Another wonderful trip in the Way Back Machine, thanks Burt!
@@maverick6722 Really? I hadn’t heard of him before as I saw Petty and the Heartbreakers in ‘79. Stan Lynch-drummer was the powerhouse of the band~per Tom Petty. I didn’t follow the band in all their changes and figured Stan stayed with them until the end. What amazes me is how much lead guitarist Mike Campbell resembled Jimmy page in looks~mannerisms, ever see it too? Someone pointed it out to me and now I cannot not see when looking at them play in the beginning’s, what a fantastic band.
Freddie's Dead. Wow. WLS and WCFL in Chicago played this a lot. Shaft I think. So much was going on then but the format of all mixed together was starting to separate. My Maria? I remember the song but can't/// Good. Spooky Tooth bled into Dream Weaver and Foreigner too. I think Canned Heat lost 2 members before the band on this show. Back in the days when record companies either put dollars out there for you to develop and go on the road or you got neglected. It's so different now. But Midnight and Don Kirschner's were such treats. There was little else but Dick Clark on Saturday mornings and then....Soul Train...No Video's to rent or buy. No Internet. You got a good surprise on late night shows or waited with bated breath for your songs and bands. Wilson Pickett doing the Associations Never my Love. Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles did the Chitlin circuit with him and called him the wicked picket. Thanks for the post and flashback.
The episode after this from September 28, 1973 is another great one. It was hosted by Seals & Crofts, and it also featured appearances from Paul Butterfield's Better Days, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Arlo Guthrie, Leo Kottke, T. Rex, and Uriah Heep.
Just one day after Jim Croce had died. His widow lives in San Diego, California, just across the border from where I live. She used to own a restaurant called Croce's.
Wilson Picket's screaming version of the Association's "Never My Love" just didn't work for me. It was good though to see and hear Brian Auger. He wasn't on American TV much if at all except for this appearance.
Please Keep them coming. WHO EVER YOU ARE. THANK YOU THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE A WEBSITE. Do you have the full show in 75' that Earth Wind & Fire hodted???
I've been waiting 50 years to see B.W. Stevenson perform "My Maria". A record I bought and absolutely loved in 1973.
he knocked it out of the park..I was impressed!
Oh wow! That's so cool! I'm glad you/we got to see them! I loved it!
I had a box of tissues near me and needless to say, glad I did as that was a very special performance.
I absolutely love that song too; they were so great, eh? Brought back lots of memories ♥️
yeah that was SUPER cool
I didn’t care how high I was, I always watched Midnight Special! Sure miss those nights!
For the record….” whew!😅”
Canned Heat did it for me. Best rock in blues band ever,
When I was a kid my father saw Canned Heat on TV. He went out and bought the album the next day!
Until Blind Owl died in 1970
@frankpontone2139 Frank, you are correct. Alan Wilson was the blues soul of that group.
After he died, the Can lost a lot of its vacuum seal
@@frankpontone2139it’s true. Alan had that old soul delta falsetto that Robert Johnson used and little Blind Lemon in there too. And his guitar as well.
Wilson Pickett was just plain cool as host and full of mojo! Loved this episode and the Chi-Lites were somethin!
yes yes yes and yes.. and i never ever heard this version of the associations “never my love” 🚬😎 sings it like he wrote it.. 📈🔭🐥
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 That was a nice surprise/departure.
Wilson Pickett’s last song sure had a powerful groooove going on whew! 🎶💃
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294My older sister by 5 years had all the Association’s albums~I loved them too and especially this romantic song.
@@KittyGrizGriz Windy has always been a favorite of mine.
Finally...my favorite Curtis Mayfield. Along with all the other great guests and Wilson Pickett.

There are far more musical styles available to us now. Back then if it wasn't in your local record store it might as well not exist.

My Maria!!!!!!! Always loved this one but do not remember seeing them on the MS...love this!
A very young Gary Wright and Mick Jones together on stage with Spooky Tooth. Wow amazing footage. Love it!
and not to be confused with the other mick jones from the clash/big audio dynamite
@@thevoid99 you wouldn't confuse them by their appearance!
Yummy 😋
Doesn't sound like Gary Wright singing though, they had better songs, Better By Me for example
The great band Spooky Tooth with Mick Jones of Foreigner on lead guitar and Gary “Dream Weaver” Wright on Hammond organ
That was awesome!
I remember seeing a Spooky Tooth album called, "You Broke My Heart, so I Broke Your Face", seemed kind of hardcore.
@@robmatlock7675 Oh my gosh! 😆
@@robmatlock7675 : 🤣 That British humour
@@robmatlock7675 Pretty close: "You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw"

It is the best song ever written. 💯%
Great! I've been waiting for the Sppoky Tooth perfomances. RIP vocalist Mike Harrison, drummer Mike Kellie, bassist Chris Stewart, and Gary Wright.
Wish there were more…
The ‘70’s were the cultural apex of America
Maybe it was because we had so much freedom. I had little adult supervision, as long as mom didn't get a call from a neighbor, or I didn't show up in the back of a police cruiser, and made it home by the time the streetlights came on, it was all good.

Birthday remembrance for the late great Wicked Wilson Pickett
Great hearing and seeing Brian Auger again. He and this band were unbelievable in the seventies. So happy to hear he's still around and still kickin' musical a$$!
The brilliant Spooky Tooth!!!
Another great night of entertainment in real-time. Thank you MNS!
The Chi Lites are my favorite soul group.
Boy, do they sound just great in this show.
Freddy’s Dead was just amazingly good live on the Midnight Special!
Wow..got the chills watching B.W. Stevenson - My Maria. Long time hearing the song never saw them doing it.
Man....there's PLENTY of great Wilson Pickett stories!
Pick one, cast Eddie Murphy, and call it "Wicked"
Cmon.man...this writes itself!
EXACTLY!!!! The entire time he was singing all I could think of was James Thunder Early and stepping to the bad side😂😂😂
👍🥁
Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, Brian's shirt has a copy of a Conan the Barbarian comic I used to own.
If only Pickett had acted like this offstage. You would just love him.
The B.W. Stevenson performance is gold! I was doing musical cartwheels in my head as I enjoyed this unseen (by me) treasure. The arrangement and the visuals were a delight.
Appropriate for Wilson to sing "In The Midnight Hour."
Definitely one of favourite episodes, so far ❤
🇨🇦
Drummer Steve Ferrone playing with Brian Auger. A lot of people played with him... and Ferrone also played with a lot of people 🙂
Thank you Mr. Sugarman!
🙏🤗🍺cheers
God bless the special Mr WP 🔥
I guess it's time for someone to say it -- "The wicked Mr. Pickett!"
Thank you very much. This is one of the best episodes. It's really great to watch these two Canned Heat forgotten songs

What a treat seeing some rare footage of my favorite band, Spooky Tooth- loved Mike Harrison ❤❤

Great show, but look at Pickett's eyes and you can tell he's totally wasted. Amazing how these performers can do so well while being so high.
Cocaine and weed, 6pm breakfast of Rock and Roll!!
I guess that’s why the Chi-lites played “stoned out of my mind”
This was a good show!
Some great songs coming in this one! Freddie's Dead, Oh Girl, Never My Love...nice!😎
Many tv shows have the artist lip sync, but that's why i love MS! LIVE!
I love it!!!!
Wow another barn burner! Watching these on a Christmas evening. Makes Christmas a bit better! Thanks:)
Wicked Wilson Picket!!!!!!!!
I had a Les Paul that looked like the one the player for Canned Heat had, but it NEVER made any noises like that.
The following next host would have been Jim Croce iThink
Wilson Pickett, Curtis Mayfield & ChiLites❣️
👏👏👏👏®️
I found out the plane crash happened at night time in Louisiana so maybe this episode was taped during the daytime just before the accident.
This was an exceptional episode of the Midnight Special! Great time to be alive.
Cover of Never My Love is insanely good
Dude is wicked! 😎
Wilson shakes and screams betta than the rest
What a time for a music loving kid! Real singing, real instruments! Different genres of music.
Midnight Special was obligatory for me. Such great live performances that are not repeated today.
"Oh Girl ! - Chi-Lites" best performer Eugene Record
70's Technoviking got some moves! haha

Just one day after Jim Croce had died. His widow lives in San Diego, California, just across the border from where I live. She used to own a restaurant called Croce's.
They had just moved to San Diego from Pennsylvania about a month or two before he died.
At 1:00:40, What was up with the dub over for next week's host? Did Wilson Picket forget?😄
I think this was recorded before Jim Croce's accident, the Wolf Man Jack's announcement was recorded later with correction.
179th 👍🏻 thumbs up
Mick Jones of Spooky Tooth, later of Foreigner. The late B.W. Stevenson also should have done "Shambala" (which was a big hit for Three Dog Night).
If it wasn't for Wilson Pickett, James Brown and Stevie Wonder, Van Halen wouldn't have sounded like they did. Davis Lee Roth's influences.
Yes, DLR was big into R&B
Fred is dead. RIP Fred!
Wilson Picket's screaming version of the Association's "Never My Love" just didn't work for me. It was good though to see and hear Brian Auger. He wasn't on American TV much if at all except for this appearance.
