You can't fool me!
That's Geddy Lee wearing Harold Lloyd's glasses. 🤣
The nose isn't big enough
It is weird how similar the bands look
@@mowler8042 early 70's 3 piece with John Rutsey on drums.
First thing I thought was 'goddamn, Geddy Lee,'..good on you
And it can't be Geddy coz he doesn't sound like snip & fix time at the kennels
I loved the Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, they were our MTV back in the day.
They both rocked were totally live. None of that lip syncing BS!
What a classic! Brings back memories of a great era!!! Only Midnight Special can deliver these classic performances.
That was some good times!
It's irksome when the band lip-syncs to the studio recording of their song.
This one is where they didn't do that. Probably because they didn't have to.
Believe or not I still have this hit on a K-:Tel greatest hits album.
I had a couple of those. They didn't survive the 70s however.
I had that album as well!
Me too! K-Tel Sound Explosion.. 22 Explosive its by 22 Explosive artists! LoL
That sounds like an interesting collectible 😊
5, count em FIVE 8-Tracks for a Penny!!
Met Cub Koda the first time in the Spring of '94 at the Austin Record Convention. We chatted for a few minutes and he signed my YEAH album with the 'newspaper' included. He was back a year later and was walking my way during Friday Morning setup. As he got nearer he greets me with, "Hey, Blaine. How are you"? I couldn't believe it! A brief chat with him a year before and a year later he remembers my name! Got to visit with him more that weekend. He was a great guy.
great story!
Still a hit fifty years later. So glad I grew up in the 70's. REWIND!
Hell. He was 50 when they did this show.
That is rock'n'roll like it's supposed to be played, boys and girls!
Nice Les Paul Deluxe w/ mini humbuckers. "Spread mayonnaise and Kao pectate all over it" is a nod to Frank Zappa and a direct quote from Magdalena from Just Another Band from LA.
@uncleremus64 Those Deluxes get a fairly unique tone for a LP! Somewhere between a PAF and Fender single coil!
My older sister played that album relentlessly, nothing like Zappa to shake things up!
Studebaker Hawk..yeah yeah!..Studebaker Hawk Stu-de-ba-ker-hawk!
@pop_o_matic Magdalena, don't you treat me like this ! 😆
@@sherylcoburn585 do you have any ideeeaaa…
I sneaked into the living room after my parents went to bed to watch Midnight Special.
That night, Brownsville Station blew my face off. Cub Koda
Was amazing.
Did you sneak a smoke in the bathroom afterwards? 😜
@@kbrewski1 Garage. ;-)
We sneaked into the Jr. High bathrooms to grab a smoke between classes.
@@user-pi6ro7ye5q
Smoking in junior high. Man, I'm glad I never smoked. I remember how I hated that stale smoke stench from the burnouts. If you had a locker next to one, it really sucked. Their clothes always stunk.
You poor, poor thing, it must have been a traumatic experience for you.👎
This song was such a classic in the 70’s along with Alice Cooper’s School’s Out
Saw these guys with Earth Wind and Fire at Hollywood paladium long time ago
I remember it came out when I was in middle school. Grand Funk's We're An American Band was also stuck in my head around that time.
and Tubes "White Punks on Dope!"
Another great tune I had on 45 rpm as a child in the 1970's😁ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
This is a great, for sure. Cheers, Fred and ROCK ON! ✌️
Me too 😊
Yup, same here!!
The B-Side with "Barefootin" was a kicking version too.
that they wouldn’t let us play at Cinnabar School in Petaluma California in the 6th grade - Mrs.Yates class
Principal Mr. Sheehan
I've heard this song a hundred times and never knew what the band looked like. What a great performance! Half-expected the bassist to slide off the stage in those heels. Cub Koda was a great rock'n'roll guitar player!
I never get tired of this performance. He was so lively and cute with those glasses. Fun song! 😀💜
Cute!!??? The man looks like a crazed munchkin refereeing a mud wrestling match! Those glasses belong in the "what were you thinking?" File! 🤪 🤪
The crowd was asleep,but they did the best they could with that song
Saw them live at spectrum in Philly. 1974 along with Slade. And Jo Jo Gunn. Great show then also. Jammed packed with favors from all. Am 66 now over 50 years ago. Jan. Something like the 11th. 1974. With my Baby Blue 1964 Mustang Fastback sitting in the Parking lot waiting to go back home. Chilly and cold while I'm Rock'n inside the Spectrum. Partying and smoking in the boys room. Kinda a dance concert not real seating. Just wandering around, partying and Jamming out. Fun at 16.Whoa!! 👍🎶🎵🎵✌️😎
I heard you got your a$$ kicked in the parking lot and some Puerto Rican stole your car.
Wow not only did they play at the spectrum they're way way on the spectrum as well.
What rock n roll is all about. Loud, heavy AF and in your face
That was a lot of early 70's rock at the time - Alice Cooper, Mott The Hoople, Humble Pie James Gang, Nazareth, ...
@@michaelmapes4119
and Grand Funk pre “We’re an American Band”
Brings back some great memories. I probably saw this very performance. I never missed an episode of the 'Midnight Special".
Just as fun this morning as it was in 1974! Thanks Midnight Special guys.
When you gotta play the Midnight Special at 12:30, but gotta be at your job at Foot Locker at 1:00.
😂
My coffee shot right out of my nose after I read that 😂😂
LOL!
Now that’s a performance!
Classic ✌🏼
Boy did I just travel back in time
I was in Jr.High School when this song came out it was 1 of my favorites !! Great music in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s glad it was in my youth !!
I remember this episode! "Spread some kaopectate" has been living rent free in my brain for over 50 years.
Wow! That is fresh. I know the song but never saw the band perform. Awesome 👏. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵🎤
Remember them well and I still have the original album. Very nice to see that Hayman 4040 bass! I still have a Hayman 2020 guitar in excellent shape, from 1973.
Saw them back in March '74 when they opened for Johnny Winter. Kick-ass band.
I grew up the 70's - lighting up a cigarette in the bathroom at school was the epitome of rebellion! Love this!
1970. My high school had a smoking lounge for the students and a separate one for staff. Times have sure changed.
I lit the fuses and flushed M-80's down the toilets in highschool. Never thought of smoking lol
Hell Yeah
Those were the days! Too bad it can't be like no more 🫠
I was there too. Class of 1979. Those were magical times indeed. Never again. The world has completely changed and NOT for the better.
When I saw them live so long ago Burton Cummings showed me what an artist does. What a band two unfortunately Bachman and Turner left. Now Burton has to fight again . Well I wish him nothing but the best. Thank you Burton and what you did love you all. Peace❤🎉😊
Awesome memories. Seen them in 1977 open for Aerosmith and they blew them away, great band. Take Care
I was in the 8th grade when this song hit the radio. It was popular because we all did it.
Your kidding. Did Motley Crew cover this? Wow! I can't believe how many songs were covers.
Am I the only one who assumed these guys were from Brownsville TX for the past 50 years? I need to rethink my life now.
I thought they were too.
Nope…😮
I am from Michigan and had know idea until now and I’m 63yrs
Same here
Hate to say it but I thought they were from B-ville too. A friend who was actually from B-ville set me straight.
Saw these guys in 1973 with Grand Funk Railroad at Niagara Falls Convention Center. What a party!
Cracking track! The 70's were damn good weren't they ❤
When I went to high school there was a cigarette machine in the student lounge. This song is still a lot of fun
Saw this when I was a kid. Still love it. Henry "H-Bomb" Weck, a human windmill behind a set of drums! RIP Cub Koda.
The great and sorely missed Cub Koda is on guitar and vocals.
Saw Cub and The Points open for ZZ Top at Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, 1980. Fun show on Deguello tour.
This is still an amazing song ❤
That's a lot of sound for 3 people. I never knew what they looked like. The solo was a nice twist.
They and their label mates, Diamond REO (not the country band) were kind of doing a US spin on glam rock.
My high school (mid 70s) had a smoking court. Teens were allowed to smoke at school between classes.
Mine (early 70s) had 2 designated smoking areas. Now gone.
Same here. Outside of the cafeteria. The teachers would go out and smoke with students.
The only thing missing at the beginning was him tapping on the microphone, hello, tap tap, is this thing on? whoa tough crowd!! Was beginning to wonder if that audience was awake .Glad they got off their hands at the end. Great 70's anthem!! We dug it then and still dig it now!!
Take notes kids, that's how a bass player rocks a mullett, heels, and a bad-ass onesie.
Animal on the drums is great for this classic footage.
Loved the song but did not know what they looked like until I saw them on the M Special all those years ago. Thanks
Saw these guys in Little Rock. Great live band.
One of the hardest working bands on the touring circuit (1972-79). A shame they never got to release a live album.
They did. The first two were “Yeah” and “School punks” good stuff
They actually lasted 7 years!? I knew only this tune on constantly on AM radio in 8th grade/freshman year HS, and then never heard from them again. Classic 70s 1 hit wonder.
@@kbrewski1 They released 7 albums (1970-79). "Yeah" was their biggest seller. Yet, they toured relentlessly. Finally got a headlinig tour in 1976. Like I said they should have did a live album. But their label dropped them. They switched labels and released perhaps their best album in 1977.
Did Cub Koda wear those goofy glasses all through the 70s, or did he vary his look with the times (punk, disco)?
@@kbrewski1 1 hit wonder? Martian Boogie?
Clearly remember this one blasting out of my radio on CKLW.
I was a bass player and used to play this song in my high school band in 1972...!!
It was recorded in 1973
3rd and 4th grade listening to bruins games and AM radio under my pillow like a lot of you guys out there. Fond memories…
I was one of those kids back in 3rd grade listening on my transistor radio as well. Great childhood to spend in the 70s decade.
I saw these guys at Marina Municipal Auditorium in Panama City, FL in 1978. One of the most fun concerts I've ever attended!
Michigan spawned the best rock.
Between Michigan and Illinois, they owned domestic rock in the 60’s and 70’s…
@@BarneeFife
St Louis and Cleveland said "hold our suds".
Either that or crap…I go with the crap portion of the night.
The Cub-Master an american treasure, we miss you Cub and the Del-Tino's miss you!
Graduated high school in 1972 always smoked in the Boys Room
Only rock and roll if you smoked in the girls room
1975, rockyriver ohio, 7th grade, last day of middle school, start of summer, I lit a few packs of firecrackers in the boys bathroom, just as I walked out, the principle grabs me "I smell smoke, whats going on?""Boys smoking in the bathroom!" I said, he runs in- 💥 💥 💥 🚬
Somehow they got booked for an ice cream social event over Labor Day weekend about 1970 in my hometown of Dayton OH. We kids were impressed. I don't know how the parents felt about it🙂. First concert I went to that I could get to the front of the stage. It was a blast.
This is epic. Dig this tune. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🎸🎸🥁
Hey Dwayne😃The good ol' days😁ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
Loved this song but never seen them! Wow thank you!!
OK, I have heard this song countless times for many decades but I had never seen them perform until just now and I was kinda shocked. I half expected handle bar mustaches and fringe suede jackets! What I did NOT expect was a “glam rock, proto-hair metal by way of Cheep Trick” visual vibe! I guess they were ahead of their time. I am even more shocked to discover that they were a three piece! Neat.
brownsville station a true great awesome rock n roll band
Watched this every week
Motley Crue has got nothing on these guys
At least they put some $$ in the writer's pocket ~hopefully
MC turned it into a pussy song.
Totally agree very underrated band imo
They were ahead of their time & sound great. But the Crüe made this song their own. I don’t care w anybody says about Theater of Pain. That album is a classic one of my all time favorites. Mick’s bluesy riffs & Nikki’s lyrical was amazing. I like this album way more than Dr. Feelgood. Feelgood has some good hits but a lot of filler….;€
Plus they are actually playing the song instead of a track
Gotta love the glasses. Great 70's memories.
ROCK & ROLL DOESN'T GET ANY CORNIER THAN THIS. 🌽😂🌽😂🌽
Perfectly stated🤣
Smoking ain’t allowed anywhere in 2024.
I hope so
Vaping in the non-gender bathroom is
Except in the White House
HMMM. I must be a rebel.
☕🚬 😁
Smoking is a very bad habit if we're being honest.
The lead singer looks like Donnie Iris. Donnie had a hit in 1980 called AH! LEAH!
Henry banging it out on the drums! Whoot Whoot. Great memories of School House Rock studio.
I saw BS open for Johnny Winter around 1975. They lasted about 2 songs - they were pelted with bottles, shoes & spare change.
Saw these guys several times in the '70's opening for headliners/ unfortunately I don't think they ever rose higher than that status !!!
hail to the live! energy plus.....
I saw them live in 74. Loudest 3 guys I've ever heard.
Only the ‘70’s could produce those glasses and those bangs! There has to be some regret behind it now😅😅😅
Regret that they signed a bad contract and never had another hit. That’s all they regret.
Wow! Brings back memories 😂 Thanks for sharing 👍
Wow - singer is a TOTAL GEEK!
Isn’t the singer one of the Hansen brothers from slap shot?
This brings back memories! I still got the album!
8th Grade, remember it well. Everyone singing this song in the Hallway between classes the next day. Great times.
Never knew they were from Ann Arbor!! GO BLUE!!!
That’s what Rock-N-Roll was meant to sound and look like. FUN!
hell yeah.....when music ruled
These guys are feeling it, and it feels real good!
That's awesome, much better than the more popular remake. I guess that happens a lot, songs ahead of their time.
I got to see these guys in the summer of 1972. At concert in Washington, Mo. That was the first time I heard "Martian boogie ". I haven't been the same since. Damn good underrated band.
Such a Michigan band.
I started high school the year this song came out.
This was the first 45 single i ever bought when i was in grade school. Never seen them before till now. Some times it takes 50 years to see something. Im like, "This is them?" i didnt know they were a 3 piece.
God they were loud, miss ya Cub Coda...!!!
This was on my 2nd birthday! Aw yeah!
RIP Cub Koda. Cub died on this day 24 years ago.
Drugs?
@kbrewski1
I saw Cub play locally here in Michigan about a year before he passed. He looked really grey, but his playing was fantastic . He suffered from kidney disease.
@@kbrewski1Kidney disease, he was only 51. Cub was a scholar of music history. He wrote a fantastic reference book on the blues, as well as a book called “Blues For Dummies”. I still have the former somewhere in my house. Sorely missed.
I saw Cub fronting local band Mugsy at Second Chance in Ann Arbor in the late seventies. Great performance, great venue.
@@Vangremlin81Cub Koda and the Points. I saw them at Studio Lounge in Westland.
Seen them back up James gang in mitchell so. Dakota. Was great.
Thanks for sharing.
CLASSIC!🎸
Saw these guys as the warm up band for AC/DC on their Highway to Hell tour. Great show!
Saw these guys open for Skynyrd, who was opening for Mountain. Sadly, Brownsville Station was booed off the stage. Cub flipped the audience off as they walked off.
The original and the only version worth listening to!!
70's 🌟GLAM🌟 INVENTED 80's Hair Metal!
Shit is gay asf litterally
Once again thank you guys yes the principal caught me upstairs 75 parkwood. Joplin Mo.😂😂😂
What a badass guitar tone!!!!!!
Looks like a young George Burns with those glasses on.
I remember this show very well. They kicked ass!
Damn that was awesome! I love live rock music. Aloha!
Bloody excellent stuff
Great performance! First time seeing them live.the singer was once up in Canada had a son named bubbles!
No lip synching. No band in a box. The 70s were the best.
