DVD Reviews of The Midnight Special: 1975
DVD Review: Something for everybody to hate
Summary: 3 Stars
I have some fond memories of watching The Midnight Special back in the late '70's and seeing some of my rock heroes performing live. As this was the pre-MTV era we weren't that accustomed to seeing rock acts on TV all that often, so consequently it was a genuine cause for excitement to catch rock stars of the day like Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Heart, Kiss, etc live on the Midnight Special. With the passage of time however we tend to forget just how much crap was also shown on the show. For every good rock act we saw on the show there were usually 3 or 4 horrid disco performers. For every great blues legend there were usually a half-dozen sugar-coated radio acts of the day like Andy Gibb, Olivia Newton John, Helen Reddy, The Captain & Tennille, etc. When They decided to open the vaults and release these Midnight Special performances on DVD they had a great opportunity to please everyone by sorting the performances according to musical style... rock acts like Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Kiss, Golden Earrring, etc on one disk, disco acts like KC & The Sunshine Band and The Bee Gees on another disk, MOR acts like Helen Reddy and Glen Campbell on another disk, etc. Instead, they chose to sort the acts according to year, which means you get a ridiculous mixed bag of performers of opposing musical styles on one DVD. So for example, in the case of the 1975 DVD, if you love KISS then you'll likely hate The Bee Gees and KC & The Sunshine Band and vice versa. And if you like Glen Campbell then you'll probably dislike ALL of the above. In other words, these DVD's have something for *everyone* to hate!

Description of The Midnight Special: 1975
Featuring an incredible array of the greatest musicians of the 1970s and early 80s, The Midnight Special stands alone in the history of rock 'n' roll as the first ever late-night concert show on TV, capturing the spirit of a time when rock was exploding in so many new, exciting directions. For nine thrilling years, The Midnight Special brought audiences the very best live music from every genre - rare performances right into homes every week - complete with the intimacy of close-ups and multiple camera angles that placed you right there with the on-stage action. It was an exciting time, and it's now been restored and re-mastered in this exclusive series. FEATURING THESE LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM 1975: The Bee Gees.....Nights On Broadway Peter Frampton.....Show Me the Way Helen Reddy.....I Am Woman KC & The Sunshine Band.....That's The Way I Like It Rod Stewart.....You Wear It Well Earth, Wind & Fire.....Shining Star Orleans.....Dance With Me Natalie Cole.....This Will Be (an Everlasting Love) Barry Manilow.....Could It Be Magic Ohio Players.....Love Rollercoaster Olivia Newton-John.....Have You Never Been Mellow Glen Campbell.....Rhinestone Cowboy Aretha Franklin & Ray Charles.....It Takes Two To Tango Minnie Riperton.....Lovin' You Kiss.....Black Diamond PLUS - Live Stand Up Comedy From David Steinberg and Jack Burns & Avery Schreiber! This truly is an amazing DVD to see. For me it's been really cool to see these bands performing while just beginning, what in many cases, turned out to be legendary careers. The groovy outfits and hair can be quite amusing as well! Particular favorites are seeing a very young Barry Manilow, a very funky, afro-clad, Natalie Cole and of course seeing Aretha singing with Ray Charles! Also, Kiss is quite entertaining with their use of pyrotechnics...And clearly, seeing Helen Reddy sing "I Am Woman" is a delight :) Factory sealed "New"!!!Bestsellers in DVD
