Midnight special was unique, because most shows back then didn't perform live either. The best part is they didn't use backing tracks on live performances then. Everything you hear is a person behind an instrument making the sound.
I got the chills listening to this man! Listen to it at least once a week, every day of life. I grew up on this. My world is no longer a ghetto, but my heart is still in there. Cisco kid, Spill the wine, Me and baby brother, must I go on?
We were spoiled rotten by the talent. We enjoyed an _Embarrassment_ of Treasure. Some new and _meaningful_ jam almost every other day. Wouldn't trade that time for anything.
I got to watch War back in the 80's at a bar in Rocklin Cal. By that time only Harold Brown, Howard Scott, Lonnie Jordan were the only remaining members. Charles Miller was murdered, Papa D Allen died of a heart attack, and BB Dickerson had left War and Lee Oskar was not there that night. Not very memorable with the other band members missing, and also Harold Brown could not stop saying the F word every chance he got. I thought it was embarrassing for the band and even Howard Scott told him to mellow out.
@@Memo-nd6fj It's super cool that you at least got a chance to see my boys Lonnie and Howard and whatever Harold Brown was on but there's nothing like seeing the original 7....it's outta sight 😊
No it's all BS, since they took music out of school kids don't play musical instruments anymore thanks to call phones. From an old-school musician I'm teaching my grand kids to play some kind of instruments.
@@HaitislaysActually through social media you can learn how to play instruments, record and mix, and learn theory. Couldn’t do that in the 1970s from your phone.
IF YOU HERE AND ANYWHERE CLOSE TO MY AGE OF 60 NOW,I KNOW YOU JAMMIN AND GROOVIN TO THIS JUST AS HARD AS I AM ALL OVER AGAIN.IF YOU HERE AND NOT CLOSE TO MY AGE OF 60 NOW,I HOPE YOU JAMMIN AND GROOVIN TO THIS JAM AS HARD AS I AM ALL OVER AGAIN.
Saturday's after cleaning; the house is neat and fresh, and momma got the windows and doors open, glass of wine, smoking a joint and this music blaring. kids outside playing, adults laughing and communing - ahhh, the happy hippie days
My Father passed away in August 2002. He love this song!!!! I love you Dad (I miss you so much) 💕 I pray we can all get along 🙏🙏🙏🙏 In this WORLD 🌎 IN JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The hall is kind of a joke, really. Lots of bands that should be in like Jethro Tull. Really?! No Tull? 🙄 But Kate Bush is in? I wouldn't even classify her and many others as rock and roll.
Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed Looking at the sky, starry-eyed Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed Crying in the night, teary-eyed Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a ghetto Wonder when I'll find paradise Somewhere there's a home, sweet and nice Wonder if I'll find happiness Never give it up now I guess Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a ghetto Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a ghetto
One of my all time fav 70's bands. You had to see these guys live. No pyrotech, costumes, or special effects just some amazing kick ass music.. Lee Oskar on harmonica !!!
Unquestionably, on of the defining songs of the era. Blacks in the USA made absolutely great music. What an honor it has been to know this era in real-time.
I have listened to this song hundreds of times. On the long version of this song, Charles Miller plays the most hauntingly beautiful sax that I have ever heard, coupled with such a beautiful melody. One of my all time favorite tunes from a band that is so unique. I hope they make it to Paradise and play for us all!!😊
@@conniemoore3848 Ha ha I still have mine, I have "WAR Live", "All day music", "Deliver the Word", "Why cant we be friends", "Galaxy" and I think "The Music Band". For a real treat, listen to War Live, song "Sun O Son" one of their best live recordings.
Charles was a fantastic sax player and a really nice guy! I lived in Santa Ana in the late 60s and before he joined War he played with a band called Señor Soul who used to play at a local R&B there. He dated my roommate for a while. Unfortunately he was murdered in a robbery attempt in 1980. It's too bad that the group split up in a contentious legal battle later.
Wow! That performance gave me chills!! The instrumental part, especially!! I love this lineup of War. B.B. Dickerson had a great, soulful voice, and their harmonies were beautiful!😊💜
There is another live version that is recent, on RUclips. Look for "The Low Rider Band" The World is a Ghetto Live. It's better... As Adrian Monk would say, "You'll thank me later." Enjoy ✌️
As a teenager in the 70s, The Midnight Special was the best please to listen to music of every genre from country and Western, the blues, Hard Rock to rhythm and blues, rock and roll, "The Midnight Special" showcase them all. Host by the late great; (Wolfman Jack)! THAT'S WHEN MUSIC WAS AT IT'S BEST!
Excellent performance from WAR! Midnight Special was a great show because it showcased so many different artists. (Tower of Power was a great show too ) So far, WAR doesn't have plans to do any shows in the NY-NJ-PA region this summer.
Damn... I just read on Wikipedia that Charles Miller was murdered in 1980 while living in Hollywood, two days after his 41st birthday. He was stabbed in a robbery on the street. No one has ever been arrested or charged for his murder. He played saxophone, clarinet, and flute.😔🙏🏽👍🏿💗
I remember five years old crying myself to sleep to this song every night still no justice and this song now has a whole new meaning. 🎉 strong on my own! Bypassed survival I am a LIVING THE DREAM. Stuck in America...😢
Screaming at my IPAD, “Give them a standing O, people!”, You just witnessed a Masterpiece! I graduated HS in ‘76. Have the vinyl album. Let’s Go! How do you write sheet music for what we just witnessed, you don’t. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. 🤓🥳🤘
How in the hell did he make that alto sound like a soprano? I have been playing sax for over 40 years, and I've never been tricked by a saxophonists' sound so much
A truly beautiful song. I grew up on this as a teenager. Now in my 60s, this song can be sad. Well you understand the truth that you didn't understand as a kid
When i was a young kid growing up, in Fayetteville Nc, my mom pop played these songs. I was too young to appreciate the soul music that encapsulate your body, music that touches your inner soul! Now i have become my dad at a ripe age of 63”. I love oldies but goodie’s. A lifetime of memories
I was a kid then, but to my memory, War chose to play this song in its entirety rather than the usual 2 song medley of bands on Midnight Special allotted about 10 minutes uninterrupted. This footage is incredible of the immense height of War with original members live in concert recorded.
A terrific live performance of the title song to a great album it was my privilege to own back in those days. A pleasure to watch them doing their thing.
Their harmonica player, a Danish guy named Lee Oskar, was amazing in the way he used his instrument as an inside voice of the "War" R&B fusion horn section. Nobody else has ever really done that, and it absolutely makes so much musical sense. Once you mic the "harp", the sound can be colored in many ways, but the breathiness is always there in the background. Every once in a while, it peeks up out of the inner texture, but he seldom has it in your face as a constant solo instrument, the way that most blues harp players do. Through most of their songs, you'd swear it was a saxophone. Sometimes you really hear it more as a harmonica, like in this one .... but it always serves the needs of thesong! A real musician's musician!
I feel like part of me is still back there. I lived in San Jose, CA from 1965 through 1975 (9 years old until 19 years old). The San Francisco Bay Area was the best place for the best music ever!
OMG I was 13 yrs Old, the horns, guitar, drums, flute, that sound it’s like that took you to a high point, did a low pitch, then those instruments made you too mellow then it slowly brought the beat back up with their smooth vocals! I had the windows open with summer air flowing in and DAZZ flowing out to those who wanted to hear! Mom came home and broke my 45”, I went out and brought it again…. Yes a lil girl digging those drifts my fav band…👧🏽

No computers, pure talent we grew up in best era of music . Still love live music
And no autotune!

Then get off the internet and go out and support it.
Absolutely 💯 😊
We did...
Sad thing is the world is still a ghetto in 2024 WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE
U got that right 👍
Thank you for that amen
Amen, from Indian Country.
Frankly, the world has always been a "ghetto" since the beginning of humanity. Still, this is my favorite song by the immensely talented War!
To quote the late Rodney King.
Why can't we ALL get along..😊
Real music , live performance. Voice cracking , sweating 😂😂 . They just dont do this anymore on tv .
Midnight special was unique, because most shows back then didn't perform live either. The best part is they didn't use backing tracks on live performances then. Everything you hear is a person behind an instrument making the sound.
That's why this music will 4'Ever remain timeless. Glad I was able to experience these great groups from back then in concert.
I 100% agree. Everything has to be "perfect" now. Takes the soul out of the music.
I ACTUALLY saw And WATCHED the very first SNL ,..... Please forgive me
no lip sync, no auto tuned bs........
Remember when talent was a requirement?
U are so right 👍😢
😂😂😂😂Word Bro!!!!!
Facts.
Real "artist."
BRUH!!!
Video killed the radio star.
Children. That's called instruments.. it's also called talent. TRUE TALENT. TRUE MUSIC!!!

Lee Oskar can make a harmonica talk.
Sooo underated.
@@shotelco not amongst harp players! But yeah, he is very underrated.
@@BIZARBIES Didn't know that. Thanks!
One of my all-time favorite harmonica players, up there with Toots Thielemans, Stevie Wonder, and Maurício Einhorn.
With the possible exception of James cotton lee Oscar is about the best I’ve heard on a harmonica!
This is one of the best bands ever
I second, third, and fourth that👏👏👏👍
VERY Underrated
Yes right there with Chicago ❤
With Untisputed Truth
This is a real, live concert. No lipsinc. I was a kid and loved this in the 70's ❤. Lucky few.
Does anyone do 💯 live anymore?
Yeah, at least 99.9% of live bands are live.
Everyone using auto tune now. It's all computerized music. It sucks. This is the real deal.
Yes. It happens every weekend in small clubs all over the country.
No it's all BS, since they took music out of school kids don't play musical instruments anymore thanks to call phones. From an old-school musician

The absolute definition of a "live" band. Superb musicianship and exquisite, authentic vocals.
A nearly 10 minute live masterpiece.
Yes

I'm 62 I still listen to this today I am going to keep listening to I die great music great music they don't have any kind of music no more

It’s called RACISM!😡

Happy Thursday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Even the few squeaks were beautiful. They proved it was live !
Playing the harmonica like that is rare.

The world is a ghetto
Wonder when I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's a home, sweet and nice
Wonder if I'll find happiness
Never give it up now I guess

That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Paradise is in Heaven defending not gonna find it here on this flat earth
What a fantastic band... so many epic hits that are still around and worth listening to today
..Can sing in tune, play a guitar in perfect rhythm, AND manage a Wah-Wah pedal perfectly - all simultaneously.
A total lost Art today.

They were speaking to us now, from back then. Look at the world NOW and this song is not just for the folk in the ghetto, it's for EVERYONE!!!!!

One of Music's greatest Masterpiece of all time, and greatly rendered by WAR!
WAR is one of the tightest bands out there that can do natural fade in and outs.
Yes, the sax, harmonica and Hammond great trio.
Who remembers the midnight special?? 🙋♀️
💥💥 "The Midnight Special" wad the BEST LIVE FREE CONCERT in the days of great Concerts
The midnight special didn’t care what color you were if you were good you were on there
My favorite war album without Eric burden. Just wow. Didn't think I'd be able to see such performance.
Platinum jazz ain't too shabby either
The band had much more success AFTER his stint... Record sales, touring and every measurable metric
When did Eric Burden pass?
@@malcolmpayne-hu2gdI'm sure he is still alive, living in the Los Angeles area.
This was one of the best albums start to finish of all times. PERIOD.
Acoustically, melodically moving musical gem by an elite and talented group of musicians!!!
The title track from one of the best albums ever recorded.
I remember that album - The World is a Ghetto. Great album. Part of the Soundtrack of my youth in the early 1970s.
