What's Midnight Special?

OH HONEY!?!?!?!?!!?!? No you did-ent. Must get her MS. What the hell. There outta be a law that you rule supreme on this board, and have NOT SEEN MIDNIGHT SPECIAL!:eek: :lol: :shocked:

It's only one of the best live version of Rhiannon out there! I'd post it for you if I knew a good place.

LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL SHINE ITS EVER LOVIN' LIGHT ON YOU! Sorry, I was temporarily possessed by the spirit of Wolfman Jack. :angel:

Yeah, I just kept quiet on the board until I'd seen it...:laugh:
Wait, I have the performances on my computer...I wonder if I could usendit? How do you post videos?

This should be Rhiannon from midnight special. If you really haven't seen it (which seems unlikely) you might die from the awesomeness. One of my favorite things about it is the cute double take smiles Lindsey throws at Stevie around 2:24 ish. Heartbreakingly adorable.
And her teeth are awesome here. They should've had their own song. :laugh:

And Creedence...

Now you can actually buy your very own official DVD copy of "Rhiannon" on the Midnight Special here:

http://www.midnightspecial.com/

It's only $9.95 plus shipping & handling!

We still need to accurately date this performance. I say somewhere around December 1975 to February 1976.

All I can say is the moon was full, my body became very hairy, and I started to howl. I KNOW WHO POSSESSED ME LAST NIGHT! :]

:o you said youd never tell :]

:o I know, I lost control.......:wavey:

Thanks for posting this. I'm finally at a computer that could play it. I had to laugh...Stevie is like undergoing an self exorcism at the end. She so reminds me of Joplin.

Midnight Special was a great rock concert show for its time. One of the very few TV shows featuring rock performances...every Saturday night at midnight. Imagine, you could actually watch a rock show on television. What a novel idea. This was way before MTV or VH1 so no music videos, DVD's or VHS.

I love that part! Could anyone get me a screen cap of it? I tried once, but it didn't seem to work.

This?

I feel really picky right now...but I don't think that's it.

It's during the first chorus. 1:42 in. I guess it's not the one Amber was talking about.

Ohh, was it the eye-roll, OMGWTF?! look? That was the one I thought you meant in the first place...

I don't think it's an eye-roll. He looks...gleeful. I love it.

Yeah that's it. Thanks

newsflash: sometimes when Lindsey appears to be looking over at stevie, he's actually looking at chris. stevie at her mic is often in his line-of-sight to chris. Musicians have to occasionally look at one another for technical reasons, in addition to looking at what they themselves are doing.

Of course, we are assuming any of them could see a foot in front of them in that era :laugh:

We all know Stevie couldn't. Still can't, blind as a bat that one.

Thank you so much Amber, I will watch this when I get home tonight :xoxo:. And geeze people, why don't you just go ahead and crucify me and burn me at the stake for not having heard of this before because it's true, I had never heard of or seen Midnight special before this thread, like OMG! :o
P.S. still love you guys :)

UH, hello Linds...had you not checked last week's schedule? I totally had this planned for THursday...say around 5???? :lol:

:p

Saphy, you'll be interested in knowing that the band also performed "Why," "Over My Head" & "World Turning" on Midnight Special at this time. Those performances were also broadcast on TV.

Does anyone have these, particularly "Why?"

I think many of us have low-generational copies on VHS tape. Unfortunately with "Why" & "Over My Head," those two performances were not broadcast on VH1 several years ago when that channel was showing old Midnight Special shows. So with "Rhiannon" & "World Turning" we had the opportunity to upgrade, but the other two are in bad shape in people's collections.

And now of course you can buy Rhiannon in 5.1 sound on DVD, remastered, through the Midnight Special affiliates with the link I posted earlier.

edit: I have computer files (like windows media or something) of both Why & Over My Head. If i send them to someone, maybe they can be uploaded to YouTube.

I didn't get the f*cking memo! ;)

Thank you David, for the "dignified" response :p. Good to know!

Oh, Sapph - "Why" is incredible, it makes me weep, the harmony takes my breath away. Do you want that one, too? I have them all on my 'puter.
Edit - Strand, I have all those. You want me to post when I get home?

Check out that image of Bowie they have up there! He looks, um, pretty :confused:. I would love to see his performance of Space Oddity. Bowie rocks!

Stevie had lasik a few years back. Crowed about how awesome it was to actually be able to see the audience. :woohoo:

Yes, please post! And since I'm so into the masochism today (drum roll), what's "Why"? I've never heard of it, sesly :lol: (so I'm not a huge FM fan, always Stevie first, sue me).

I just got really into it a bit ago. Stevie is in it, her floating head harmony is massive. It's a beautiful Christine song.
"Why did you give up. Why is it all wrong. Why don't you love me. Why don't you just be strong." or something like that. It's gorgeous.
