You could not produce this kind of show today. This type if talent simply doesn't exist today. What an era lost.

Thank you Lord for turning 16 in 1973 and for carrying me through as I turn 66 this year.

I was a little 12 year old and my radio was my best friend. Always loved music. ❤

We opened for Billy Preston in 1972 in Atlanta. Back then we actually played our instruments. No overdubbing, no autotune, no gimmics. You had to know how to play. Those days are all gone.

We were blessed in the 70s to have the best singers, songwriters and musicians the world would ever know.

[lyndastarwriter]

Sheesh...MEGA SUPERSTARS in one show...way back when I was a teen. Loved the show then, love it now...AND Wolfman Jack, KEARTH 101....

I will never forget the night I watched Jim Croce play midnight special. I was in shock when I heard about his plane crash 3 months later. Jim was a major loss to the music world. Similar to losing Buddy Holly.

[antonnym]

This version of Frankenstein is EPIC! Edgar is a genius to be able to pull it off LIVE!

[mariroerig]

I’m in tears, this was such a wonderful time. I’ll be 66 in 2/25, this is what music is❤️

[helicopterhorsemom]

I can NOT get enough of this show!! I was a little girl early 70s and all this just makes me feel like I'm at home. So much love!

[JackCooper-ixsu]

What a wonderful music! 70's music is the best music ever.

[mikestillwagon]

When I was 10, Drift Away was constantly on the radio. I was too young to appreciate his talent at the time, but I can now recognize how amazing Dobie Gray is. What a voice!

[CheriBomzArt]

Interesting to see them so young and performing so well!!💜

I am 61 years old and remember watching The Midnight Special. Not only is this era of music my favorite, but I think it was the greatest.

[buck]

Oh, the memories this brings back, I was nineteen in 73. I miss the seventies and everything aout them, the cars, the clothes, the hair, the music, my youth, and the girls. If I could only go back to the beautiful, happy, seventies.

[alro]

[michaelmitchell]

“Brother Louie” was EVERYTHING back in 1973! Truly the anthem.
