Can anyone imagine today a TV or an internet streaming with a show like this? Kinks, ELO, Buddy Miles, Rory Gallagher....my God...how lucky we youngsters at 1970's were at living that music! Unrepeatible...
So glad I had a babysitter who would watch this. Turned me into so much good music. I caught the tail end of things being born in 73. Music does last forever ❤
Kids today would say the same thing for current artists. People tend to latch on to music from their teens as the best. This stuff was "my era". The new stuff isn't aimed at me so I'm not meant to get it....:)
@@richbailey8174 A poilsport troll in TH-cam. Doesn't matter when toy read this, it never fails. How can you compare present scrap music with MUSIC with all their letters? Perhaps you are too young, too dumb or both at the same time.
Saw Rory in a small club in Milwaukee (Humpin’ Hanna’s) a couple of months earlier. He absolutely shredded. Glad I made a tape. Scorching hot rock and roll. He left the stage and wandered through the crowd jamming right in front of everyone. Saw him again in October, this time at the Riverside Theater, an unknown Canadian band called Rush opened.
@@House__Rice I gave out a couple of copies years ago. Not a bad tape for the time. Recorded on a little Sony portable. It only suffers the same way a couple of other tapes did that I made there, as the house PA got overridden by the stage amps when the band was playing loud.
@paulclarke7571 I have! I actually went to see Ray perform in Sydney when that book came out and he sang songs that matched up to the different chapters he read passages from to the audience. A memorable night.
@@IraSiegel And it’s just one in many great songs. I tried to look up how many songs Ray published. It looked like well over 200. Who else in any style of music is as prolific?
Yes! But just as in the first presentation it was harmed with the small stage. Rory is explosive on stage and I thought it contained. Perhaps precisely by the reduced stage. I consider Rory larger than Hendrix!
Amazing as always. Great inventive guitar lines and an incredible backing band. Someone mentioned a small stage being a negative thing. It wasn't for me. I kinda liked them up close to each other.
It's The Kinks for me. I did get to see Rory open for RUSH on the SIGNALS tour. He was good, but mostly ignored by a crowd who weren't mostly unaware of him. Got to see The Kinks live three times in the 80's and thought they were a fun, rocking band at that time. Dave Davies is a wicked guitarist.
Fact! That's an opinion! Another opinion- thought Rory and his band might've been the epitome of what's influenced really bad interpretations of the blues. That was some tremendously white shit. That shuffle was so butt-clinched I could picture bikers and guys with acid washed jeans and reeboks playing air guitar. That song essentially created a whole genre of white guys fresh off a bong hit thinking they could do THAT. Because they could.
Suzi Quatro is VERY square as a singer - I didn't realize how square until seeing this. But worth it for Celluloid Heroes, one of the best songs ever written, and seeing/hearing Rory play that iconic Strat which is about to be auctioned for millions of dollars. ELO were lip-synching BTW. Also nice to hear "Skin and Bones" from the great Muswell Hillbillies album. Thanks for posting this!
@@dannyjohnson3569 i was very underwhelmed by this performance by Suzi quatro, and the rest of the band sounded hoarse as well. Very different from other recordings I've heard. I think they all must have suffered from strep throat, flu, fever or something.
Wow, it's great to see the Kinks' Ray Davies playing harmonica on several of these tracks. I saw the Kinks nine times and have gone through any number of Kinks videos on TH-cam, and I haven't seen him play the harmonica. This video is a keeper for a lot of reasons, and that's one of them.
A British Spiced trip in the Way Back Machine! The Kinks, Electric Light Orchestra, Rory Gallagher, and, Alan Price, almost as many Brits as when the Midnight Special broadcast from there! Buddy Miles, a virtuoso, and Suzi Quatro, who I haven't seen since her appearance on Happy Days! I can hardly wait!
@@groovedohg But according to the "Irish Times", though disputed the Republic of Ireland is a part of the British Isles, though not part of the United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.
This is one of the best things Ive ever watched. The 70's sound ll wrapped up in one show. Never heard of Rory but was great to see everyone in the band too nervous to look at the audience.
In Cuba, during the worst years of the communist persecution of rock and roll, the Midnight Special was a show that was worth any risk. No stupid ideology would ever stop this music!
Brother que bueno conoser a algien que en Cuba era Roquero. No fue facil. Yo me escape en 1967,asi que me salve. I got lucky and I got to rock and roll all night long and party everyday!...and smoke weed in freedom!
RORY and band are off the charts with Hands Off, 4 years earlier i bought his first solo LP, (an import) The Kinks , and Elo are great, this is one great episode.
Amazing live performances; Ray Davies starting off the show singing harmonies on his lead verses; unbelievable vocals from ELO, Suzie Quatro giving it her all; Rory Gallagher paving the way for Stevie Ray Vaughan, incredible mixing all around; those were the days!
If You Don't Know It Learn It --- I saw The Kinks in Brooklyn College Theater a day before Thanksgiving weekend in 1977. They were great and yes ! they played Farther Christmas. I also saw ELO @ MSG during the same year of 1977.. So Long Ago. 🎸
This is a great lineup on midnight special. I’m so glad they have these available. Love the Kinks, love Rory Gallagher saw Rory Gallagher at the whiskey gogo 1972 right after his debut album came out he gave one of the best shows I’ve ever seen also saw the kinks in the early 70s at the Hollywood Palladium and the Santa Monica Civic. Suzy Quatro love that song 48 Crash, I know The Runaways got a lot of inspiration from her
Guess what! I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more maracas and tambourine!!! Ona serious note, how have I never heard of Alan Price or “In Times Like These???” That was awesome! What a performer! Just an all around great episode. Suzi and Rory? Some great bluesy rock!!!
Two weeks of repeats followed (They were numbered 72 and 73 - first time the show went into repeats - shows 46 & 49) so the next episode will be numbered #74 (- all comedy show hosted by David Steinberg) and since there's a Monty Python segment (not sure if it was a film clip or a live performance of some of the members) it may be edited - they have had issues in the past.
Thanks for clarifying that. I looked at the complete lists and I see the gap of 2 weeks. Really looking forward to the ANne Murray hosted show in 2 weeks with Wet Willie, Country Joe and Golden Earring doing Radar Love. Hope GE is not a repeat of the Little Richard episode. Do you know more on that?
@@davidf3883 The only good thing about the Country type episodes for me is that I dont have to stay up for the start time of 1am for the premiere (From Ireland)
WOW. They should show this episode to kids in school as part of a history curriculum. It's just amazing from the music to the hair and clothes. Brilliant, I'm so glad I was there to live it in real time.
Life was freer, not so free now with corporate socialism and occult masters manning every helm. Epic show though. Saw Kinks on their Destroyer? tour "Doctor, doctor, help me please, I know you'll understand There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin' man There's a red under my bed And there's a little green man in my head And he said, "You're not going crazy, you're just a bit sad 'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawing ya, tearing ya into two" Silly boy, ya self-destroyer Paranoia, the destroyer"
As much as I've always liked ELO and Jeff Lynne, ala Traveling Wilburys, has a great voice they are the kings of Lip Syncing. I'd rather hear an authentic live performance. Also, love the Kinks!
I noticed that too. I also read a long time ago that their sound was notoriously hard to replicate on stage, what with the strings and the available technology of the time.
@@rosskstar I addressed this previously with King Crimson's performance. The program's crew did an excellent job of picking up David Cross's violin. He didn't fare nearly as well elsewhere. The main reason he left KC before Robert Fripp dissolved the band was due to conflicts related to his violin being heard in the mix. Jeff Lynne's first attempt to tour with the strings was widely considered a disaster.
There isn't anything much heavier in rock than the opening thunderous chords on Around The Dial, with Mick Avory pounding out the beat.The Kinks opened shows with that song and you knew that you were in for a wild ride!
The Kinks: one of the finest bands that has ever existed
Quite true. Dave Davies is outstanding guitar artist
@@mikelair9144 Agreed. What a treat to watch the band I worshipped as a kid only from audio and album pictures
They really were. And Ray just oozes confidence and humor
I agree
@@mikelair9144 He is. I was watching him do that rhythm lick on Here Comes Yet Another Day and thinking man, I gotta try to learn that. So cool.
The late GREAT Rory Gallagher man oh man it doesn't get better than this.
The highlight of this video. What great inventive guitar lines. His whole band was top notch
Rory is a super musician. ❤❤❤
None better! Never was, never will be!
Great dynamics and energy!
Most underrated guitarist in rockabilly. R.I.P. RORY
Nice to get away from 2024 and go back to the 70s

Epic from start to finish. Thanks again to Burt Sugarman and company for all the tender loving care in producing and archiving these amazing episodes.
Yes! Shout out Burt Sugarman!!🤘😎🤘
I was at this taping at the NBC Burbank studios.
WOW, I'm Jealous😁
W O W !
I..............was not
I was still swimming around in my father's balls.
Awesome.. did they have different stages or was there a gap in set up times?
The Kinks are an absolute joy to watch and listen to.
Track down the book "X-Ray, The unofficial biography of Ray Davies." A must for any Kinks fan. Mind blowing inside info on their rock journey.
@paulclarke7571 I have! I actually went to see Ray perform in Sydney when that book came out and he sang songs that matched up to the different chapters he read passages from to the audience.

@@gary1128 If Pete Townsend is an admirer of Ray's songwriting, I think he may be pretty darn good at it.
I agree, but I'm wondering why Ray Davies skipped the Marilyn Monroe line of the song in this show?
Rory owned the show that night...

Yes! But just as in the first presentation it was harmed with the small stage. Rory is explosive on stage and I thought it contained. Perhaps precisely by the reduced stage. I consider Rory larger than Hendrix!

Love the Kinks. Dave’s backing vocals are the best in rock.
Wooow. This was one of the best episodes!
One of the greatest bands there ever was, the Kinks.
It would be almost ten years after this before The Kinks would have their highest charting hit in the United States...”Come Dancing”.
That's the album that sold me... then I collected their entire library from discount cassette bins. All a bit different but all equally good.
And that was a really fun video, with the dancing cleaning women...
Rory Gallagher guitarist extraordinaire and his Irish Tour '74 band....it doesn't get better folks
It really doesn’t! That’s my favorite lineup of all Rory’s bands.
Irish are being destroyed.
This was a footnote.
R.I.P. Rory you was the best live performer I was lucky enough to get to watch your killer show,,
Hell yes bring on THE KINKS!
Absolutely love The Kinks. There is no other front man in all of Rock who thrives on audience participation than Ray Davies.
When you have the kinks, Suzy Quatro and Rory Gallagher it’s going to be one rocking evening.
Well, ELO is a much more exciting guest than Suzi Quattro, but the Kinks, ELO and Rory, yes.
Suzi Quatro is VERY square as a singer - I didn't realize how square until seeing this. But worth it for Celluloid Heroes, one of the best songs ever written, and seeing/hearing Rory play that iconic Strat which is about to be auctioned for millions of dollars.

She tried, but I would have walked away from listening to a set of hers
Wow.
First time I've ever seen The Kinks perform "Here Comes Yet Another Day" and "Money Talks".
Is this the last time we ever see Jeff Lynne's eyes?
The Kinks made this MIDNIGHT SPECIAL a one of a kind concert many thanks for this jewel!!
The Kinks are cool
Great episode! Rory Gallagher and his band tore it up, despite the small stage and time constraints.
Rory Gallagher!
top bluesman.
class act.
💙🎸
Between Rory and Roy Buchanan they are up there in my top five guitarist. I didn’t realize Rory played a tele. That slide work was spectacular.
@@curtisphilumalee1447That Tele was his go do for a lot of his slide work.
@@tommccarthy3052The Tele is a workhorse for many groups . May not be pretty to look at compared to others but what a guitar
@@gavintuesday4959 Got one myself along with a Strat. I like the "sharp" tone I can get out of it. Cuts thru everything.
All of these acts are favorites of mine, especially Rory. Suzi was ahead of her time, leather pants, low hung bass guitar.
Her band saved her, I thought she was mediocre
Buddy Miles had a great band. He kept that "Band Of Gypsies" vibe alive.
Wow, it's great to see the Kinks' Ray Davies playing harmonica on several of these tracks. I saw the Kinks nine times and have gone through any number of Kinks videos on TH-cam, and I haven't seen him play the harmonica. This video is a keeper for a lot of reasons, and that's one of them.

This is a great example of early 70s real rock n roll. Rory, The Kinks, ELO,Suzy, and Buddy Miles.....unduplicateable, if that's a word
Da Birds da word
If it wasn't, it is now.
Inimitable
I can't believe there was actually a time you could turn on the TV and see all these bands on one show!
I already know this episode will slay! I didn't know Rory Gallagher was on The Midnight Special!!! I'm so excited!!🤯😆
Rorys whole band was 🔥.
I could have gone for some more Buddy Miles tbh,
I think this is my favorite episode to this point. So many great performances, with early Suzi Quatro. Fantastic.
Rory, mesmerising as usual. I've never seen him play ' Hands Off ' the same way twice. Always a variation on his lead break. Oh,hell, how he's missed!
Loved this show growing up in the 70's. Never missed it. Heck of a lineup on this particular episode
RORY and band are off the charts with Hands Off, 4 years earlier i bought his first solo LP, (an import) The Kinks , and Elo are great, this is one great episode.
We were so lucky to have these shows. I remember staying up ‘late’ to watch these classics. Great sounds and closeup video of the masters.
Amazing live performances; Ray Davies starting off the show singing harmonies on his lead verses; unbelievable vocals from ELO, Suzie Quatro giving it her all; Rory Gallagher paving the way for Stevie Ray Vaughan, incredible mixing all around; those were the days!
ELO was using studio tracks at least for the vocals. Theres no way you can double your vocals like that live
Finally, now that's what I call an episode!!
Yes there was a time - many decades ago now- when actual talent existed in popular music.
Replaced by rap crap…and the dumbing down of society followed
Celluloid Heroes😃
My favorite❤
it's brilliant
Best Kinks imo
It's a great song.
Great episode. Thanks The Midnight Special for all the great music.
Rory!
ashame no one is giving alan price recognition in the comments. a true musician, underrated criminally.

What a catalog of solid albums.
So underrated.
Great performances by Alan Price. His "Between Yesterday and Today" has alot of Procol Harum undertones to it, very nicely done.
The album it was off between today and yesterday was a big seller in the uk .

A great collection of talented artists that will never be repeated. Thanks Midnight Special.

The Electric Light Orchestra in this episode is a classic, great music. and a great episode.
And not live.
These ELO performances are not new to this episode. They are repeats from Ep.54 Feb.8, 1974
Other than the fact that they were lip synching.

Nice timing! We just saw ELO on their farewell tour a couple days ago and they played Showdown!
There are so many memories of watching this as a teenager. My mom and I stayed up late to watch it.
Strangers on this earth we are. We are not two we are one.
S. Quatro has such stomping music.
One of the first after The Kinks were allowed back in the USA. They were banned for some reason the latter half of the 1960s
They were allowed to play in the USA again in late 1969, so no, it was not one of the first. They toured constantly for those 5 years.
Fighting.
Suzi Quatro has a TH-cam page, she used to post videos of her bass lines, but I haven't seen a new vid for several years now.
Decent live Kinks show! Tight band
Everyone was so energetic back then.
Musicians now are worried about looking cool and unaffected.
Life was freer, not so free now with corporate socialism and occult masters manning every helm.
Epic show though. Saw Kinks on their Destroyer? tour
"Doctor, doctor, help me please, I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin' man
There's a red under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, "You're not going crazy, you're just a bit sad

First time I saw them, in 75 promoting Scoolboys, they snuck M. Talks in their set list. Nice surprise.

William Rory Gallagher (1948 -1995) often referred to as "the greatest guitarist you've never heard of." I heard of him. RIP his liver and his guitar.
Señores, menudo programa, KINKS y RORY GALLAGHER, el cielo en la tierra!!!!!!
Rory Gallagher spectacular guitarist.
Rory, o guitarrista mais incrível e genial que já pisou nesse planeta. Minha droga!
Though a Kinks fan. Rory and Suzi were the highlights for me here.

Waiting for Rory and The Kinks too.

Station is my sentimental favorite. Around the Dial which came e along in the 1980s.
There isn't anything much heavier in rock than the opening thunderous chords on Around The Dial, with Mick Avory pounding out the beat.The Kinks opened shows with that song and you knew that you were in for a wild ride!
