    Burt Sugarman giving Jim Croce his gold record for "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" was the absolute highlight of this episode...
    Six days later...we lost him.

    Seeing this particular performance with Jim and Maury finally broke me. Jim talking about a future show and receiving a gold record from Burt brought it all back. My first experience of a loss as a kid. You always vividly remember your first loss the rest of your life.

      Jim “spoke” to all of us through his music, didn’t he, eh? Still remember hearing of his sad death too when it happened.
      My 1st loss as a little girl (12), was my friend Jeanette (12), her mom Jean (32), her little sister (5), all drowned together at the lake. Jeanette was in my blue~bird/camp~fire girl’s group and her mom was assistant leader, my weekly “family” for years. Triple open casket funeral was tough we didn’t have school grief counselor’s then. Am still afraid of large open bodies of water but have snorkeled in Moloka’i & Maui, HI., to try and “face that fear” head on 😔.
      PeacePeople.

      I remember it well myself. I had watched this show--I was in eighth grade, and Jim Croce was my favorite--and then a week later, in school, was told by a friend about the plane crash. I was too young to remember JFK's assassination, and I had only a vague sense in 1968 of the meaning of RFK and MLK, Jr., being killed, but by 1973 I had started forming my own opinions about music, and partially defining myself by them, so the loss of Jim Croce hit me hard.

    • @shyman99
      @shyman99 11 месяцев назад +5

      @ronaldolaquidara64 - I also remember the news about Peter Duel. I wasn't as connected to him as I was to Croce so it didn't hit me quite the same. Coincidentally, I had a schoolmate pass away during summer vacation a few years later, which was a bit unsettling. A kid who had a heart attack.

    It's sad that some of these legends are no longer with us. But through these performances, their memory lives on. I've been watching your videos for many, many years now. I would've never imagined that one day there would be a The Midnight Special channel on the internet. And never in my life did I imagine that I would get to see full episodes of this show. I never got to experience that era, that's why this is so special to me. I love this channel, because it gives us something to feel good about, specially in these hard times. A very big THANK YOU to everyone involved for being so generous by making these shows available to us fans. And it's good to know that Mr. Sugarman is alive and well, so that he can see how much we appreciate everything he has done.

      You are correct that stage monitors were few in those days, but there were stage monitors on this show. In the wide shots of the front circle area, you can see them just peaking over the lip (they weren't up on the floor). This is another testament to the producer Burt Sugarman, who went the whole 10 miles for his outstanding show.

    Fifty years ago, it was only a couple of weeks after back-to-school time for me. I remember how we all used to look forward to the new television season at the same time. I'm so happy to see this second season premiere. I can't say thank you enough. Whatever we were doing on Friday nights, we made it home for The Midnight Special. I think my mom would have sent out the national guard if we didn't...

    Curtis made some great music and is sorely missed. Midnight Special was awesome. Saw them all when they first aired. Thanks for the memories.

    The late Curtis Mayfield did "Right On For The Darkness" near the end of the show. Both The Bee Gees performances are repeated again "Lonely Days" (from Episode 10) & "Run To Me" (from Episode 21). The late Chuck Berry took over the late Jim Croce as host on November 2, 1973 (Episode 40).

    The next show from September 21, 1973 sounds like it was a good one. The host is Wilson Pickett, and it also features appearances from Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, Canned Heat, The Chi-Lites, Curtis Mayfield, Brenda Patterson, Spooky Tooth, and B.W. Stevenson.

    War were one of the few soul bands - perhaps the only one - without a star vocalist. The real star was their sound and feel and rhythm.
