I feel the same way. And to think we had this show and American Bandstand, Soul Train on Saturday afternoons and SNL live back when it was funny and had great music as well. There was plenty of music on TV back then. Thank God for TH-cam so I can see this again. Now there’s nothing.
I'm here for ELO. Dancing in the Moonlight was one of my favourite songs though. Everything else is just added bonus. I love seeing polite crowds in nice clothes without their faces attached to phones enjoying quality music and entertainment. Thank you Midnight Special!
Seventies had so many beautiful, classy, talented female singers with voices like songbirds. No decade before or since could touch them. Rita Coolidge, Linda Ronstadt, Olivia Newton John, Carly Simon, Emmylou Harris, Karen Carpenter. No auto tuned vocals, no repetitive and perverted lyrics, no slutty outfits and behavior.
I remember watching The Midnight Special watching it every Friday night. I never knew how I would miss so many things from the past. The midnight Special Wolf Man Jack I really miss it all. I grew up listening to Paul, Rita and Kris but I think all of my favorite singers and bands was on the show. It makes me feel sad to be honest I miss my life being young and free.
Wow! What a treat to see King Harvest live singing “Dancing in the Moonlight”. Fantastic song and great performance by the band. Thank you very much for posting it.
I don't know about others but I'm enjoying these chapters a lot and I'm hoping that you're also enjoying the greatest music ever. These are treasures. Thanks to Midnight Special channel. As a kid in my country, I used to wait until almost midnight to watch the program and listen to the music without understanding the language, now in my 50's I get all the conversations and songs and enjoy it even more. This music doesn't even compare with the rubbish produce these days.
Another good line up, Kristofferson's Loving Her is So Good. Love Commander Cody, this is the 1st time I've seen them. Early ELO, and as Paul Williams predicted we did get a lot more from them. It was the first time I've heard any other song but Dancing by The Moonlight by King Harvest, again if you only listen to golden oldies radio, you could believe they only made 1 song, same with Brewer and Shipley. Rita Coolidge, smooth as butter milk. Next week's lineup looks just as enticing.
Saw Kris K. perform @ 80yrs young, one of the best shows I’ve seen (have been to many). He sang~played acoustic unaccompanied for 1 1/2hrs standing, no drink of water~break. Did 30 songs that landed directly into my heart, what a fantastic storyteller and hot! Love ELO’s song, had forgot about it. Great show 🥰
@@KittyGrizGriz I was, like 10 ,11 years old, and as many homes, albums seemed to just appear, and that was the case with Kristofferson's albums. I would sit and listen to songs like, Sunday morning coming down, not sure what they were about, but one thing was certain, he is one of the artists that has been a constant throughout my life. His songs come from his soul. 👍✌️
The first 8-track I ever owned was a gift of Kris’s debut album ‘Kristofferson’ in 1971 from my dad. I don’t know why(maybe my pop bought for himself and didn’t like it) but at 9 years of age I had never heard anything like his songs before. I realize now that album was formative to my personal tastes. Also, this year (1973) he starred in one of my favorite movies-Peckinpah’s ‘Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.’ A film with a strange release history, I have seen (in 4 different edits) probably about 100 times and it hypnotizes me (in each of the versions) like few works of cinema ever have. Thank you Mr Kristofferson.
The Monkees (with the late Davy Jones on vocals) did "Someday Man" (45 stereo single only) which was the flip B side of "Listen To The Band" (the late Mike Nesmith on vocals from 1969 "Present Micky, Davy & Mike"). King Harvest follow up "A Little Bit Like Magic" went to # 91 (Billboard Hot 100) in late May of 1973 & released only as a 45 stereo single. The late Canadian singer Jesse Winchester did the original "Yankee Lady" from his 1970 self-titled Ampex album. The Brewer & Shipley's remake is on 1973 "Rural Space" album (their 4th & final album for Kama Sutra) because the duo went to Capitol Records in 1974.
It was surprising that Kristofferson didn’t perform “Why Me” from his current album at the time “Jesus Was A Capricorn” but did sing “Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight” which was never released as a single while “Why Me” was released in March of 1973 and spent 38 weeks on the Hot 100 and was still climbing the chart when this show aired. And he and Rita did perform a song from their duet album “Full Moon” which wouldn’t be released until September of 1973. Still it was nice to see them perform together.
Oh you don’t even know how happy it makes me feel to have found this! My youth….right here! And My favorite Happy song of ALL time, “Dancin in the Moonlight”! Seeing adorable Doc with his wonderfully unique, cool voice and all of you talented guys in the band. I have chills from head to toe, a smile from ear to ear and such a teary eyed wonderful feeling in my heart. They do Not make music nor beautiful times like these times we lived in the 70’s. My heart is Happy and would be even Happier if I could turn back time. Thank you for sharing this and allowing me to do that for a while with the wonderful music of my youth.❤️
Learn something knew every day. I did not know that Paul Williams wrote "Someday Man". I only knew this song from the Monkees but never thought about who wrote it.
I saw Bill Kirchen from Commander. Cody play countless bars and weddings in the DC area in the 90s. And early aughts. Master of the Telecaster, he never disappointed.
After seeing these Midnight Special episodes with Paul Williams as host, I didn't realize how many well-crafted songs he had wrote. When I was a kid, he was overexposed on TV and I found him annoying. 😂
Thank you so much for this. I saw it when it was originally on, as I had a huge crush on Doc, the lead singer for King Harvest. It's so great to see it again. There's not really much video of them available. Just wish he hadn't cut the hair & beard before this show. Cute without, but I like him with his whiskers. Still very cool to get to see it again. RIP Doc.
Watching these makes me think about the shortness of life. Its quite crazy thinking many people spend their lives saving so they can go into the best rest home lol.
Paul Williams? Man, I forgot all about him! Didn’t he play “Little Enos Burdett” in Smokey & the Bandit back in the day? I never really thought of him as a singer. He was talented, but a singer? LOVED seeing the oh-so-HOT Kristofferson again! What a loss his death is. ❤️🙏🏼❤
Thank you for uploading this and all the memories which go with it. Where were you in June 1973? For me it was the summer between the 3rd and 4th grade and I was pretty much glued to whatever music was on the radio, especially American Top 40 on Sunday mornings. The USA was in a difficult time between pulling out of the totally unjustified Vietnam conflict, and exposing our dirty crook President, and a lot of emotional insecurity and attempts at healing filtered through to the music scene. We were also on the brink of the superficial escapist disco era - oh no! ;-)
Holy crap, I couldn’t have said it better! Was the summer between 3rd and 4th grade for me as well. My family had just moved into a house that my dad built on the lake in the country. Spent my childhood fishing, swimming, skiing, and riding dirt bikes. Summer vacation started on Memorial Day and ended until Labor day, and seemed to last forever! This music was the soundtrack of my youth. Plus Elton John, Eagles, Chicago, Rod Stewart, etc. All could be found for a dime on the jukebox at the campground rec room up the road. Would take our allowance and walk barefoot up the road to play pinball, buy candy, and play their jukebox. Damn those were beautiful, simpler times! Wish there was a way to go back in time and warn the childhood me to appreciate and savor every minute, cause it goes so fast.
I was between 7th and8th grade - a very formative time for me - smoked too much weed but Really enjoyed the music of that era - I think it sounds even better now !
I would have been in the summer between fourth and fifth grade. Loved THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL. I think I saw just about all these episodes until the show really decayed. It became music videos (which was okay but I was interested in seeing people really play) and eventually a few people sitting around in armchairs just rapping about stuff. Horrendously boring.
I'm interested in Kris and Rita at this stage if their careers. I only know some of their stuff from a bit later, and of course Kris with Streisand in A Star is Born.
I was not disappointed. Kris and Rita did great, as well as ELO (great original tune), Commander Cody, and all the rest! Thanks so much, Midnight Special!💜
Stephanie, Kris K. solo was one of the very best concerts I’ve seen (been to many). He played solo acoustic~sang for 1 1/2 hours @ 80yrs young. Felt the audience disappeared & he was singing directly to me, Omg, he’s a masterful story weaver, I was in love 🥰
@@markdeviney7307 Really? I thought there was another presentation of them. Someone uploaded a couple of live videos that according to the description were from The Midnight Special in '79! Thanks for the information!
So that's the guy who did 'Dancin' In The Moonlight'? The Mignight Special..Killer show. So this show is the 'music history encyclopedia' show. Forget about the books...
Damn what happened to all the incredibly talented songwriters like Paul Williams, Kris Kristofferson, Jimmy Webb, etc? Pop/rock songwriters now churn out mostly assembly line garbage for product. Sad shame.
I never really understood the popularity of Paul Williams. He is a brilliant songwriter I'll give him that but as a singer there's something almost sad about it. Yet he was beyond popular and on almost every kind of television you can imagine for close to 10 years I think he did over a hundred spots on The Tonight show. I've heard him interviewed recently and apparently he was coked out the entire time, I go back and watch these things now and it's like I still don't know why it's popular but it's much funnier. And yes of course I can't wait to see this
Maybe because he wrote such great songs, and was generally likeable. I mean, I was a kid, so I don't know for sure. He did have a sad quality in his voice. But, like you, I look forward to this, too! ✌️
@@StephanieJeanne yes there was definitely a sad quality to Paul. But if you ever seen any of his Tonight show clips they're just laughing and couldn't be any happier. There were a lot of singing artists at this time who I always thought were somewhat mediocre and yet were huge stars. If you ever run across any of his interviews done over the last few years they're fascinating
Paul Williams celebrated his 83rd birthday a few days ago, 9/19/23. Happy Birthday!
God bless him. He had a few songs...they don't exactly come to mind.
@@pauldalnoky6055 He was more of a songwriter than singer. Wrote some of the greats

And he’s the president of ASCAP, the songwriters governing body.
He wrote Rainbow Connection. He also acted in Smoky & the Bandit as Little Ennis.
Paul WILLIAMS hosting this, good choice...
I think ELO had one of the best performances in the history of The Midnight Special with "Roll Over Beethoven2.
Good to see this episode released again after 50 years!. Thanks for all the positive comments!
And thank YOU for the music!
"Dancing..." shows up on the local juke box just about every night. It's one of those songs you can recognize in the first 2 or 3 notes. :)
Damn, this makes me miss being a kid in the 70’s. The memories .
I feel the same way. And to think we had this show and American Bandstand, Soul Train on Saturday afternoons and SNL live back when it was funny and had great music as well. There was plenty of music on TV back then.

Yep, miss it. Such simpler times.
There isn't a writer today who could touch Williams' talent.
The Electric Light Orchestra - Kuiama. Just genius.
Damn. Rita Coolidge stunningly beautiful with a voice to match.
ELO were rocking!
R.I.P. Kris Kristofferson
Paul Williams is a musical genius!
He seemed like such an unlikely celebrity, but he was all over TV in the 1970s...acting in shows, hosting them, performing.
I'm here for ELO. Dancing in the Moonlight was one of my favourite songs though. Everything else is just added bonus. I love seeing polite crowds in nice clothes without their faces attached to phones enjoying quality music and entertainment. Thank you Midnight Special!
Wow, Paul Williams - Someday Man, Great opener to a sensational show on The Midnight Special
What a great live performance by King Harvest. Thanks for the wonderful memories
Seventies had so many beautiful, classy, talented female singers with voices like songbirds. No decade before or since could touch them. Rita Coolidge, Linda Ronstadt, Olivia Newton John, Carly Simon, Emmylou Harris, Karen Carpenter. No auto tuned vocals, no repetitive and perverted lyrics, no slutty outfits and behavior.
don’t forget the best ... Joni Mitchell
Minnie Ripperton
i'm just here for King Harvest--and they DIDN'T disappoint
Amen
@P51 Me as well. I agree. Great performance by the band of both their songs in this episode.
Loved them too!
Thanks!
Me Too!! I have Always LOVED King Harvest! Always So Good!!!❤️🎼🎤🥰
Dancing in the moonlight is one of the best songs of the 70s
love the song, but once you know its origins, you'll never look at it the same way

Oh, i like the song Dancing in the Moonlight. Great song! Excellent performance by the singer and band.
Thanks a lot!
I had the 45 record, loved it too
Davy Jones recorded that song I believe in 1969, “Someday Man”, which Williams wrote.

Me too, I miss the diversity and discovery of youth. All these bans are so much better than anything from the last 20 years.
I think we all experience the regret of youth lost. I do and I also miss my hair! 😄
Yeah I want it back.
I recommend reading Proust In Search of Lost Time - it takes nostalgia to another level through literature
Commander Cody! They were a smokin hot live band! Great performance here!
ELO is just sensational.

Yeah that was the best performance of them all.
This is officially the coolest channel on TH-cam!!!! Thank you for posting these!
even better than mine!!
