The Kinks: one of the finest bands that has ever existed

[davidgarione]

Can anyone imagine today a TV or an internet streaming with show like this? Kinks, ELO, Buddy Miles, Rory Gallagher....my God...how lucky we youngsters at 1970's were at livinf that music! Unrepeatible...

[Barracuda-lnjr]

The late GREAT Rory Gallagher man oh man it doesn't get better than this.

[mathewbrown]

I can't believe there was actually a time you could turn on the TV and see all these bands on one show!

[richalderson]

The Kinks are an absolute joy to watch and listen to.

Saw Rory in a small club in Milwaukee (Humpin’ Hanna’s) a couple of months earlier. He absolutely shredded. Glad I made a tape. Scorching hot rock and roll. He left the stage and wandered through the crowd jamming right in front of everyone.
Saw him again in October, this time at the Riverside Theater, an unknown Canadian band called Rush opened.

Epic from start to finish. Thanks again to Burt Sugarman and company for all the tender loving care in producing and archiving these amazing episodes.

[moorlock]

I was at this taping at the NBC Burbank studios.

[IraSiegel]

Celluloid Heroes is one of the greatest songs ever written.

[teazzer]

R.I.P. Rory you was the best live performer I was lucky enough to get to watch your killer show, ,

[garyprusha]

Rory Gallagher guitarist extraordinaire and his Irish Tour '74 band....it doesn't get better folks

[bobl]

Absolutely love The Kinks. There is no other front man in all of Rock who thrives on audience participation than Ray Davies.

If You Don't Know It Learn It --- I saw The Kinks in Brooklyn College Theater a day before Thanksgiving weekend in 1977. They were great and yes ! they played Farther Christmas. I also saw ELO @ MSG during the same year of 1977.. So Long Ago. 🎸

[Lostmineagain]

The Kinks made this MIDNIGHT SPECIAL a one of a kind concert many thanks for this jewel!!

[gary]

Love the Kinks. Dave’s backing vocals are the best in rock.

[ianman]

It would be almost ten years after this before The Kinks would have their highest charting hit in the United States...”Come Dancing”.

[KaylasMusicalDigest]

I already know this episode will slay! I didn't know Rory Gallagher was on The Midnight Special!!! I'm so excited!!🤯😆

[jaimesilvano]

In Cuba, during the worst years of the communist persecution of rock and roll, the Midnight Special was a show that was worth any risk. No stupid ideology would ever stop this music!

[fmradio]

Nice to get away from 2024 and go back to the 70s

[wtaylorg]

One of the greatest bands there ever was, the Kinks.
