Sam and Dave performed May 17, 1974 Follow us on Social Media: / themidnightspecialtvshow / themidnightspecialtvshow / themidnightspecialtvshow / tmstvshow
Steve Cropper on the telecaster, Donald "Duck" Dunn on the Fender Bass, played on the record, also the Soul Man hit, and cameo in the Blues Brothers movie some years later...
That Horn section was throwing it out there. Duck Dunn showing how the bass is supposed to be played. Steve Cropper and his famous Tele. Can’t tell who’s beating the skins. Maybe Al Jackson. But Sam and Dave vocals are over the top on this performance. They didn’t hold back.
This right here explains the frustrations many of his have with modern "music." This was transcendent, as it should always be. The attempt ought to at least be made. Sam, Dave and Band, you will never be forgotten.
@@curtisphilumalee1447Stax, Royal and American sound were know as the Memphis sound. Great studios where legendary artists recorded classic hit. FYI, Bruno Mars was a huge fan of the Memphis sound. American and Stax had been torn down but royal was a museum but still could record there so Bruno Mars recorded “ Uptown Funk “ there as a tribute to his love of the Memphis sound . Pickett recorded at Stax , late American, Aretha recorded at American after problems at muscle Schoals, Joe tex recorded at American , the Sweet Inspirations recorded at American , Dionne Warwicke too. And the greatest white soul singer recorded at American , namely Elvis Presley , btw the house band at American was all white including Reggie Young on guitar who had left Royal due to money issues. Stax had Booker t and MGs as house band , and artists Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes and Johnny Taylor among others . Royal recorded Ann Peeples, Denise Lasalle, and their most famous artist Al Green. Al Wanted Reggie Young on guitar but producer Wille Mitchell had cheated him out of money. Al was so determined that he sent his replacement Teeny Hodges to meet Reggie to teach him how Al wanted him to play. Hodges was so impressed with Reggie , he named his first son after him. The Memphis sound is the greatest sound in music history. Even Motown was envious of them. The funk sounds of the 70s were influenced by Memphis.
El Duo Dinamita es impresionante. La mezcla de sus voces, como transmiten el ritmo, la gente se vuelve loca, no puedes dejar de moverte. Y por supuesto el grupazo que llevan, sin palabras... Cropper, Dunn .... una grabación excepcional, un tesoro, mil gracias.
Sam & Dave soured me on Motown and drew me to the more raw soul at studios in the south. I felt Motown was too pop. Sam & Dave said their greatest memory is that they were the opening act for the Temptations when they toured Europe. They got about 20 minutes and The Temps got whatever time they wanted. At the first show as the duo left the stage the audience yelled for more , so much that it disrupted the Temps performance . This became regular that early in the tour it was obvious the European audiences came to see Sam& Dave more than the Temps. Thus the rest of the tour, the Temps opened the show for about twenty minutes and Sam& Dave got whatever time they needed. True story told by Sam Moore. The MGs backing band also said that the duo got the audience so worked up that they had to cancel balcony tickets as the audiences were stomping and dancing so much they feared the balcony would collapse.
1970s=musicians from a poor background go on stage fuelled by coke and whisky and play perfectly 2020s=musicians from wealthy backgrounds go on stage after weeks of health food and can't carry a tune in a bucket
I would love it if you released the three performances by the James Gang in 1974! Two were aired on one night and the other was about a month after so January and February 1974. Please consider this. Thank you very much.
Does anyone know who the keyboard player is? Both Booker T and Isaac Hayes contributed to the recording, but this performance (1974) was 8 years after the recording. Of course, Duck and Cropper had been on those 1966 recordings and obviously were still part of the same combo. I think Isaac was bald long before 1974, though. And we only have a short 'photo' of the keyboard player at 2:29. Anyone recognize him with certainty?
Back in the day did you ever go anywhere when this was playing and folks was just sitting down, naaaaaaa, no way, they should play this stuff at the UN maybe there wouldn’t be so many egos starting wars. Wadaya think folks?
The dead giveaway that they're not truly in peak form anymore here, despite how great they still are, is the "dancing" at the end. Originally they would kick behind themselves at the knee on EVERY BEAT when the drums go double-time. Here, by comparison, they kinda look like Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake grinning at each other. This is what getting fucked without a kiss by Atlantic Records and having your generation's Ghandi basically get murdered at your clubhouse does to inhumanly entertaining men: It turns them into merely VERY entertaining men. But hey, anyone who's been through deep clinical depression knows they still won. It's all relative.
Considering the title came from David Porter being in the bathroom and Isaac Hayes asking when he was coming back, to which he answered “Hold on I’m Coming!” (According to the story told in Take me to the River), it’s appropriate for Trump I guess since he’s obsessed with toilets.

Sam, Dave, Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn. What a lineup!
Don't forget Al Jackson Jr. on drums.
One half of the Blue Brother Band
AKA Sam & Dave + Booker T. and the MG's
Ikr. And al Jackson jr
Recognized Steve. Duck without a beard looks odd
For anyone under 40, that’s how it’s done in a band.
Bingo
Amen. Doesn’t get much better than this.
Word
I'm 34 and this is my era🤘🤘❤
Look at that band! Some of the greatest names in music. Not to mention the most underrated front men of all time
We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline!" Duck Dunn
I just loved how Duck Dunn revised and just exploded his bass part. Going to the higher register for the chorus brings the song to a new intensity!
How good is that bass :)
That's Donald "Duck" Dunn
ampeg amp looks like !
So good it almost steals the show at one point, actually!
I miss these guys good old school music 🎶 nothing like it 2024 still listening ❤❤🎉🎉
Play it Steve!
Steve Cropper on the guitar… Is that Duck Dunn on that bass?…
Sho’ you right!😉🤣
Yes that is Duck.

Listening to the radio in the 60s and 70s, Sam and Dave never failed to show up at some point. If you liked soul or R&B, these guys always delivered!
Let the Church say, "Amen!"
These two were so good together, it’s unbelievable to me that they hated each other.
Another world !
Those voices, heavenly soul !!!!!
They had such a contagious enthusiasm! A lively performance!🤩 I loved the bass player's faces!😅
Donald "Duck" Dunn.

Fan-freaking-tastic. Thank you Midnight Special! ✌

Oh man, what a machine!
And THAT is soul music!
How fun is this? Pure, unadulterated talent on that stage!! RIP to Duck Dunn.
Masterclass in musicianship.

R&B Memphis pasa a ser Funk con Brown?
This is great AMERICAN music! We should all embrace it!
Stax legends!
I so love (Thank You) by them....❤
Love that Soul and R&B, how fun to be in the audience dancing along with them, Groovy Baby! 😍
Amazing memories, absolutely 💙 Sam and Dave and the band.
Man I haven’t been pulled over in 6 months

This is magical. Such a great performance!
Hell... yeah that's Awesome
I wish I could of been at one of Sam and Dave’s Concerts. They always look like they were having Fun.
I would love to have seen them in concert back then but children would not have been allowed at such venues.
We had the absolue best music in our generation ever, what they have today, I am not sure what it is
The Blues Brothers before the Blues Brothers.
Amazing!
Bad ASS!!!!
This very well may be the best youtube channel.
Thanks for the post!!

I actually found this song because of Muhammad Ali edit back in September and it ended up being my number 1 song on my Spotify wrapped for this year
Legends!

❤❤❤
Donald Duck Dunn!!!🤘
My only quibble is they hid Duck behind the horn section! 🙂
❤
Lots of familiar faces in the backup band.
Yeah! the bass player looked especially familiar. Do you know his or anyone's names?
@@StephanieJeanneThe late, great Donald “Duck” Dunn. Steve Cropper is on guitar.
Sugarman!

The giant sax player amuses me.
This message is for my Mr hunnie boo man out there, we like toilet papper an glue jut me and you ,come close I won't Runaway 😅luv you FM ❤

I’m not sure who that is. He’s playing a Hammond B3 you can see his rotary speaker setup back behind Cropper.
@@curtisphilumalee1447you sure that ain’t booker T Jones?
Anyone know who else is in the band aside from Cropper and Dunn?
Al Jackson on drums. In the soul man clip some other musicians’ names are mentioned. It’s not Booker T. on keys.
@@mrufino1 A start
My thanks
'A band powerful enough to turn goat's piss into gasoline'
Is that James T. Kirk in the audience?🤣
Back in the day did you ever go anywhere when this was playing and folks was just sitting down, naaaaaaa, no way, they should play this stuff at the UN maybe there wouldn’t be so many egos starting wars. Wadaya think folks?
It’s a shame that music has devolved into dudes reciting nursery rhymes with a computer as the backup band. 😢

Is one Lou Marini?
If you're talking about the sax player I think so.

MAGA!!
HOLD ON IM COMING 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸MAGA
That's the same bass player in the Blues Brothers 😊 How many are here in 2024 cuz you heard this awesome song at a Trump rally
Back in the day when we were really coming together before the race baiters and sowers of division inserted themselves. Music was a great unifier.
Trumps theme song 😊
No diss to S & D but Tina's cover is far better. Just sayin' :)
Trump sure has good taste in music!
🗽🇺🇸 *TRUMP 2024* 🇺🇸🦅
The Donald J Trump theme song.
Considering the title came from David Porter being in the bathroom and Isaac Hayes asking when he was coming back, to which he answered “Hold on I’m Coming!” (According to the story told in Take me to the River), it’s appropriate for Trump I guess since he’s obsessed with toilets.
