katie_sane Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I've heard a bit about The Midnight Special and have recently seen it advertised for sale on dvd. Lots of my favourite bands/singers are featured on the dvds and I was wondering if those who have seen the show think it'd be worth buying.

bluesboy Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I remember it used to come on Friday nights after Johnny Carson. Lots of different artists and good, live performances. It held my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Definitely worth buying. The hottest artists of the day appeared and performed live. No lip-synching. Jim Croce was a frequent guest and so was The Guess Who, Helen Reddy of course (she was the wife of the show's creator and Producer, Burt Sugarman and eventually became the permanent host), and many, many more. Check it out here>> THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL You may be able to rent the DVD's on Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 When I was a teenager we would go to my one girlfriend's house about 5 of us every Friday night and watch the Midnight Special. It was fun and we would sneak in "party favors" and just have a blast!! Get it Katie, in fact I think I feel a shopping trip coming on for me too!

I remember that's the first time I ever saw Prince. He had feathered Farrah Fawcett hair and was wearing a black vest, black leggings with black suede ankle boots(high heels of course)....and a pair of leopard print speedos!
