    I don't think people realize how much talent it took to pull off that performance, One thing about it I don't care what kind of mood you were in when they started to play you are laughing by the end and these days that is nothing but a good thing.

      Absolutely. Guitarist Jan Akkerman was voted greatest guitarist in the world by Melody Maker Magazine in 1973, the year of this video. He's also a highly accomplished lutenist and classical guitarist... The vocal ability of Thjis van Leer is outstanding. He's also classically trained in piano, flute and organ from various musical conservatories in Europe.

  • @morphman86

    Not only did they speed up the performance for Midnight Special. The song itself was written in a very roundabout way.
    The lead came in to the studio one day, sat down behind the organ and played that one riff. They all liked it so much, they wanted to build a song around it. Only issue is that they couldn't really think of anything, so people just started jamming.
    Then, when all the instrumentals were in place, with five solos, they couldn't really think of any lyrics, so he did what the others had done and just started jamming, using his vocals as an instrument, making any sound he could think of.
    And that's how we got one of the most unique listening experiences in history.

    There was a rumor in 1972, that this 'fast' version of the song .... yes a slower one was recorded in Holland in 1971 ... due to time constraints Midnight Special Director told Thijs Van Leer (keyboardist, flautist, vocals) only part of the song could be performed, not wanting to leave out any of their music, the band decided to speed it up for their television performance ... when they went to Sire Records to record the US/Canadian version, the producer said "No No, like you performed it on Midnight Special." and supposedly that's how it happened.

    The guitarist, Jan Akkerman, was ahead of his time.

My kid (6 yrs) laughed at the yodeling and I showed him this exact performance and he was rolling. I love this song from my childhood. Thanks for reviewing!

About a half hour into the movie my phone rings and it was my job, i worked in a coal mine, they wanted me to work the next day. Be dressed and in the hole by 8 AM, without thinking i said yes.
      It worked out, i was still trippin' at 8 in the morning so it turned out to be one of my better shifts. I didn't start coming down till about noon anyway.

    I said it before and I'll say it again....That guitar player is inventing shred right before your eyes right there...keep in mind, that was 47 years ago and that guy is sweep picking!!!!...I've watched this video about 100 times and it never gets old....It's easy to laugh at the novelty and funny faces, but this band was way ahead of it's time....Starts at 140BPM...ends up at 200BPM

    My daughter saw Focus last year. Thijs van Leer still performing in Holland. Yes I'm Dutch. Try Radar Love from the Golden Earring. Also number 1 hit in the USA in 1973.

    As someone else said, off the charts musicianship. No matter what, it is so much fun seeing others get fun from what they're watching. God bless.

    Oh Jamel, thank you. When my wife and I saw you were going to involve your family we had to watch this. Watching their reactions was priceless. Oh, the comment I saw about this song years ago was "speed metal yodeling!" Who else would ever attempt this. Thanks again!

    WOW!!! I don't think I've ever seen a live performance of this song in my life I used to hear it on the radio all the time and thought it was still strange then but to see his facial expressions while he's performing these vocals is quite entertaining!!! And the young ones reaction to this is kind of similar to my own and it's making me laugh even more!! THX JAMEL/JAMAL!
