LC Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Good story on the Burt Sugarman YouTube channel where we can view old Midnight Special clips: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-04-04/midnight-special-youtube-burt-sugarman-linda-ronstadt-late-night As an example, here's Wilson Pickett and The Bee Gees doing "Hey Jude." (Robin Gibb dancing always reminds me of Elaine Benes on Seinfeld.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda B Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 4 hours ago, LC said: A truly arresting performance: Ms. Ronstadt doing "Long Long Time": Agree! Back in the days when the pure voice was important and you didn't need flashing lights and costumes or lack thereof if you know what I mean. Very pure performance and solid song in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Rhiannon is one of those songs that is raised up 10 levels when played live, at least as they played it live back in the day. That MS version is awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew C. Clark Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 At the 1:03:12 mark during the last swan song episode in May 1981 (which was the 1st episode) there was a FREEZE FRAME when Argent did "Tragedy" (from the album "All Together Now") & singer Russ Ballard threw his guitar & then it said Coming Up Linda Ronstadt The Everly Brothers. (which Linda did "The Fast One" also done by John David Souther & commercial break & the Everlys who did "Stories We Could Tell" & commercial break & then Denver doing "Goodbye Again" which ends the show & closing credits). The next episode when Wolfman Jack announcing guest host Glen Campbell was back in November of 1975!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
