    No matter where you lived in the 70s, The Midnight Special was a great place to learn of, often for the first time, Great Bands and Music from the comfort of home.

      Are you freaking kidding me? I just found this this is just absolutely gold. I was just a young teenage boy learn to play bass Tyran Porter was an influence on me the Doobie Brothers and I remember watching this staying up late but it was on the weekend so my parents let me stay up to watch it, this just blew my mind bringing back memories of my childhood and I have seen the Doobies oh my God I can’t count how many times long live to Doobie Brothers

      Saw them in Biloxi last year. They were awesome, but Tom Johnston being there would have made it perfect.

    Are you freaking kidding me I just stumbled across this. It took me way back. I was a young learning bass player 7374 the Doobie Brothers Barry Oakley Tyran Porter influenced me so much I cut lawns. I delivered newspapers whatever I could come up with half of the moneyto buy a 62 jazz bass guitar and a friend of mine whose father bought him an Ibanez Rickenbacker his son didn’t want it no more he gave it to me to this day. I still have those bass guitars. This is 2024.

    People outside my window
    Goin' everywhere
    People that are happy
    People without a care
    We all got to be loved
    It's a natural thing don't you know
    The sooner we find what we need
    Gonna be feeling it, happy to show
    I'm gonna change my method
    Get me a big ham bone
    Gonna make all the leaders of the country
    Get it together and bring it on home
    We all got to be loved
    It's a natural thing don't you know
    The sooner we find what we need
    Gonna be feeling it, happy to show
    Those men in the circus
    Those men on the wire
    Their feet hangin' fifty feet up
    Know they're countin' on their daily luck
    To bring them through the fire

      There's a second guitar playing harmony on the guitar solo. The first harmonizer didn't come out until 1975. So unless somebody's off stage playing the harmony part it was probably overdubbed.

    • @frankmarsh1159
      @frankmarsh1159 7 месяцев назад

      @@tjailts No it is not lip synced...They are singing live. But they are singing to a backing track... The interesting thing is that the keyboard is missing from this mix. The album version has a very distinctive Arp synthesizer in it. Since there was no keyboard player in the band at this time they probably made a mix without the keyboard and vocals specifically for this show. But they left in the harmony guitar part during the solo which nobody on stage is playing...

    • @frankmarsh1159
      @frankmarsh1159 7 месяцев назад

      After listening to it again you can hear the keyboard part mixed very low during the chorus...On the album version it jumps right out at the very beginning of the song.

    Oh my God, I can’t believe I just came across this the original Doobie Brothers on midnight special I remember watching this I was in seventh grade my brother was getting ready to come home from Vietnam. He left me so many albums to listen to and I saw this on the television in concert and then there was Don Kirchner‘s rock concerts. We had it so good back in the early 60s and 70s, we all played guitars drums all my friends, such a magical time such great music I wanna go back and do it all over again. I think Eddie Money wrote a song about that.

    This was the coolest thing and Don Kirshner‘s rock concert, but midnight special with midnight Jack. There was no lip syncing guys went out there and played live man. This is one of my all-time favorite, Doobie Brothers songs, Titan porter was a great bass player very underrated The Doobie Brothers are one of the last bands around that have at least two original members count Michael McDonald, John McPhee that could make four unlike some other phony, southern rock bands that are out there.

    I was able to be in the audience at a number of TV show tapings in the mid 70s. Without exception, musical numbers were done by having the musicians lip sync to the record of their song. I am very surprised and happy that this is an actual live performance. Tommy's guitar doing the opening notes rather than a synth is interesting. I like it!

    Wow...the live version of this song sounds great. But I truly wonder if it's actually the live audio. Maybe Tom Johnston sang over the pre-recorded song? Notice that the drummer isn't keeping up with the same tempo as the song when being played. What are your thoughts?

    • @lindy3743
      @lindy3743 9 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah, I was thinking same. It's such a perfect, awesome live version, sounds like the recording. But no, no way man. That was real, no lip sync. This is the way these performers did it back in the day. Crisp, clean, loud, genuine. Just to check I overdubbed the album version to TMS live version and even though they keep up in the live version, it trails off toward the last 45 seconds as they kick in some live version vocals.
