I’m going to share with you clips from of Burt Sugarman’s Midnight Special, where musicians and comics performed live, and women had real breasts. Though some of the vids are not that great, some are awesome, and though not sold in any store, Guthy-Renker owns the digitally remastered series, pieces are starting to show up on You Tube and Amazon. Some are pretty good. Having fun.
The clothing is almost as weirdly awesome as the music. Full Screen em and enjoy.
Lets start with Rod Stewart and Blondie, both Mr Stewart and Ms Harry missing the same part of their tops, and both feeling no pain. At least from the eye of the untrained observer.
Al Green and Amii Stewart — It’s all about the clothing — at leat after the music.
Then there is Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, singing Space Oddity Live, how cool is that.
my guests
they are cranky
an Australian
a Yankee
my cookies
are soggy
I’m tired
I’m groggy
My feet
feel like lead
I’m going
to bed
peace
Was thinking of you tonight.
/hugs.
Why do you have blog people who think about you.
I’m jealous.
You make me smile but I only think about you when Darfur comes up, or Obama, or pornography.…
Rod Stewart is trashed, Debra Harry looks to be the same. Amii Stewart must be quite athletic to dance in that get up.
Great videos.
Too bad I missed the seventies.
the poem is a nice touch.
I will watch the vids tomorrow or the next day – don’t own my life right now. I’m crankly like your guests
Wow Cooper went to sleep before me. I’m jealous. Somehow took 2.5 hours to get home from the Island. Should take an hour. No traffic – I don’t even try to understand these things anymore.
Pia: naw, I just caught up on your posts actually pia but now I am going to sleep. There is snow somewhere, and I’m getting to it early in the morning.
casey: Because I’m just that special.…fool. They are pretty funny but I enjoyed them. Don’t tell anyone but I bought My father some of those dvd’s.…lol
Dave J: Well damn, meet me in Saint Lewis.
I’d rather google than the other.
I’m still trying to get over Rod Stewart’s shirt, before I move on to the others.
Always make me smile.
Ack! Take me back to 1969 and Jailhouse Rock with Rod and the Jeff Beck Group. When he actually did music. Before Maggie May and Britt and Alana and Kelly and Rachel the Kiwi and Penny and the Stewart football team (thanks for contributing thrice your share to global warming, you perv).
Sorry. I guess I’m cranky too. But I don’t have any Aussies in the house. Or even any Stewarts. Just a pair of Dudes. They’re enough. Trust me.
Thanks for posting these oldies … man, those were the good times. Everything wasn’t (seemingly) about $$$.
The FCC is a useless and so full of self interest it’s about ready to burst..
Great performance of “Knock on Wood”, even with the Cleopatra like costume.
That must have been an interesting time to live in.
If I don’t make it back, happy new year.
Hello Cooper!
I have a meme on my blog for you!
are you accept this?
I wish you and your family happy holidays and even BRIGHTER future..
Precious video pieces, before my time too.
My cookies are hard as a rock so don’t feel bad.
