Movie Reviews of The Midnight Special: Million Sellers
Movie Review: I AGREE...5 stars! (for some but none are less than 3)
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been wondering when these Midnight Special DVDs were going to start showing up used here on Amazon. I remember watching this show while growing up, along with Don Kirshner and, later, Nightflight and After Hours. The MS producers have quite a few DVDs out so far, 2 for each year 1973-1980! One with the year and one called "More" with the same year. Of course some are far better than others and I am not going to review every single one but will probably, eventually, post for the ones I think are the best.
There's some truly amazing stuff on some of them! The usual suspects are all here (Fleetwood Mac, The Doobie Brothers, Heart, The Ohio Players and The Brothers Johnson from the mid-70s are priceless!!) AND.... ....Imagine the original line-up of Edgar Winter's White Trash doing a 12 minute improv of the classic Frankenstein!! Edgar plays keyboards, sax and drums at various times and Ronnie Montrose is so young he looks like a teenager!!
Also, not only "Show me the way" but Frampton's classic "Do you feel like we do" - And not the usual castrated version we used to see on TV either!! The full-blown 12-15 minute version that's on his classic Comes Alive album. Probably recorded around the same time too considering it's on the "More 1975" volume.
Great stuff though I was initially wary of the price (originally $43 for 2 discs including shipping). But, in hindsight, that probably wasn't so bad considering what people are wanting for some of these used copies!!! And I do see the 1st 2 discs they sent me on here; "Million sellers" and an all Comedy disc. The individual years began after that, again, 2 at a time.
The bottom line is they are MUST HAVES for fans of ANY genre of 70s music, these discs are that good and all are remastered in 5.1 too boot!! As a bonus each disc also has 2 stand-up comedian clips - that's right - people like Pryor, Carlin and many, many others in their prime!
Enjoy!!
