@@JohnFromArlingtron I would guess bands like Abba probably did lip sync performances, but I can't think of any others. I thought the whole idea of the Midnight Special was to see live performances. Can you give me some or even one other example of a lip sync on TMS?
@@willspies5869This channel just released an REO Speedwagon song, Roll with the Changes, from TMS in 1980. In parts you can see the bassist lift his hand above his head and still hear bass playing. Unless someone has bass pedals somewhere on that band. It is unfortunate, as I would rather see all live performances. I am not sure who decided that back then though. It seems a lot of older episodes they were live. You watch a show like Top of the Pops and they almost were all lip synced/recorded and you knew it. Some bands even did things wrong on purpose because they wanted to play live and weren't allowed to.
@@amazingronaldo9656 That's certainly true of other shows like Top of the Pops. American Bandstand did virtually all lip sync performances too. Oh well. EDIT: I just watched the Roll With the Changes clip and I'm almost certain that the vocals (at least) were live and not lip synced. Some of the arrangement may have been pre-recorded, but not sure.
In my opinion Ann Wilson is one of the top songstresses in history. She has a terrific voice, always knows where she is in the song, and the expressiveness of her voice and behavior were perfect. The band's recordings were top tier works of art, yet their live performances were even better. Thank you, The Midnight Special for preserving this treasure for me to reminisce, and for future generations to get a chance to see the greatness.
It doesn't get more excellent than that! The band was great, and Ann nailed it! She just made it look so easy! What a rock star!🤩 Thank you, Midnight Special!✌️💜
So good! Heart was my late wife’s favorite band and she bore more than a passing resemblance to Ann. Remembering brings tears to my eyes. How I miss her.
You know a singer is great when they're singing through an SM57 with zero vocal effects and they still sound awesome! Roger Fisher is a monster guitarist who never got the props he deserved.
Actually that's a SM58 with the windscreen removed, for some reason, at first I thought it was a broken 57 myself, but you can see the threads where the ball screws on. strange. you can hear the lips.
Heart also did White Lightning and Wine on this 1977 show which is extremely rare,I've never seen it on youtube,could u plez post that one too..............THANXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX🙂
This takes me back. The original band was really something special.Saw them on the the 3 tours they did in the 70's.This was the real deal. Things changed after Dog and Butterfly.
Check out their performance of Magic Man on the Howard Stern show lately. Their sound and her voice only got better over time! ua-cam.com/video/w18j-ad4VlQ/v-deo.html
Kids these days like jazz, thanks to London Brew, Christian Scott, TCIC, Nubya Garcia, dOMI and JD Beck and more. dOMI could play Giant Steps better than Paul Chambers while also playing the bass with her feet while still a teen. There has never been a better time for new music, its just harder to find because the record labels jumped into bed with streaming services, choosing filthy lucre over artist development.
Look at Ann Wilson... The full package right there!!! Vocals, stage presence, beauty, lyrics, true poetry in motion right there.. @01:43 Ann'd she's the only female singer I've ever seen pull this off!!! Always loved the Midnight Special!!! We always stayed home on Friday Nights to let it shine it's ever lovin light on us :)) Thank you for sharing all the hidden gems like this with us!!!
I’ve watched tons of videos from Heart in the ‘70s, and if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s Roger Fisher dressing like Luke Skywalker. Did he even have any other clothes?!
This is the cleanest version of this video I have ever seen! Things need to be for sale so the public can buy them in a high quality, like Blu-ray in this case, format 👍 This whole Heart performance and the Journey performances would be great official release starters. Both the 1978 and 1979 Journey Midnight Special performances too! Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
I'm sure it's a lot of work just resurrecting the original tapes, editing it and putting this on UA-cam. This is already as high quality as you're gonna get from the 70's. It's 1080P but includes the limitations of the equipment back then.
Two months later on May 17, 1977 in Indianapolis, Heart headlined over Foreigner and Walter Egan. Their last major concert was opening for Nazareth in Nov 1976. That is a huge jump. If I made any errors, please reply. Thank you. (:

My prediction is that this type music will increasingly be appreciated by people born in the 21st century...like a huge revival is in store. We will see if I'm right!
I went to see an ABBA Tribute band at a music festival. There were just as many younger people there, if not more, as older people. They were singing and they knew all the words! I loved it! ❤️ Thank you for sharing! 💖
The entire "The Midnight Special" collection should be kept at the Smithsonian as an American National Treasure.
So true!
Most definitely!
Amen!
I never missed one of those shows in those days! The best music show of all time IMO.
I agree!
Thanks Burt Sugarman for having this act perform live and not lip sync .
Not always. It was a mixed bag. Some live. Some live vocals over pre-recorded instruments.

Gosh Anne and Nancy were beautiful.
They still are beautiful!

Hands down, she is one of the top vocalists that rock has.
No debate. She is one of the all-time great rock vocalists.
My generation needs more women like this. Good lord.
These old Midnight Special clips are so wonderful! They are a buried treasure found!
Anne's voice is AMAZING!! This is one of my favorite FM radio staples!
she has a great new song out!!
A live performance without auto tune. Magnificent !
This band just oozed badassery in every way.
Heart at their best. Stuff from their great debut album "Dreamboat Annie".
It sure is! That was an amazing live performance!
When Heart hit the music scene...it was like a lightning strike! Nobody sounded like it and nobody has since!⚡⚡🔥
It doesn't get more excellent than that! The band was great, and Ann nailed it! She just made it look so easy! What a rock star!🤩 Thank you, Midnight Special!✌️💜
Beautiful music. Beautiful girls. Beautiful voice.
1977...9th grade....black light...playing along with my guitar...good times
That woman lived in my dreams as a young man, this video is simply a trip down memory lane!!
So good! Heart was my late wife’s favorite band and she bore more than a passing resemblance to Ann. Remembering brings tears to my eyes. How I miss her.
💪
God bless you , stay strong. Youll have this song forever when you want to be with your wife again
The Wilson sisters were so pioneering ❤️
Attempt to comprehend, he's an enchanted male
You know a singer is great when they're singing through an SM57 with zero vocal effects and they still sound awesome!
Roger Fisher is a monster guitarist who never got the props he deserved.
I agree with both. Ann's voice needs no effects, and Fisher work added a unique signature to Heart.
And up against 3 guitars
@@chameleoneel Exactly. Her voice is strong.
Actually that's a SM58 with the windscreen removed, for some reason, at first I thought it was a broken 57 myself, but you can see the threads where the ball screws on. strange. you can hear the lips.
The rumbling fill on the tympani drum is great!
Wondered what that sound was! Thx! Really liked this take, wore out this album in the day.....
I do love that there's many younger UA-camrs finding and listening to Heart 🤘
In the days when it was about the music and nothing else
What a voice.
❤❤❤LOVE IT❤❤❤
ANN & NANCY 👏👏👏👏👏
I loved Ann's hair during this era. It was perfect, especially if you had a little natural curl. She was SO pretty and what a voice!
They had quite the swagger then.
Still awesome in 2023...love these sisters !!!
WHAT A WOMAN. And still
Ann being 23 there and now 73 she still can sing so good wow that’s crazy
This was great...but still miss the long version with the synthesizer. A treat for the ears. So good!! Find it and listen!!
I just saw a Cheap Trick and Heart last week and I'm so glad I did. They both put on a great show
These were my role models growing up❤
Incredible performance! ❤
Happy 'Magic' Monday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Yeah! They rocked! 🙌😎
@@StephanieJeanne The best! 👌
great band, great song, i've been a fan since 1976. Too bad they played the short version here, but hey... that's life.
Michigan Jam Martin Michigan right on the stage incredible. .
Amazing vocals!
Holy shit
Beyond Great. Midnight Special. You Rock! That is the the highest compliment this 63 year old rocker can give. Keep these videos coming.
My all-time favorite rock song. Glad it was performed live on one of my favorite TV shows!
Man!, they rocked.
Ann‘s best vocal performance I have ever seen.
Those people witnessed history
What history?
The shortened version of this song unfortunately .. but still good...
Agree with you. The longer version with the synthesizer is just so creative, epic, and quite melodic. Miss it!!
Heart also did White Lightning and Wine on this 1977 show which is extremely rare,I've never seen it on youtube,could u plez post that one too..............THANXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX🙂
Ann Wilson is Number 1 ! ! She is so Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 💖
One of the best
Thanks for this! Ann Wilson has a classic voice and still sounds great. Amazing to be able to see these fantastic performances!
This takes me back. The original band was really something special.Saw them on the the 3 tours they did in the 70's.This was the real deal. Things changed after Dog and Butterfly.
They had a lot of stress and strife, sort of like Fleetwood Mac.
Listen up kids, these are real vocals and real sound that you don’t hear anymore!
Check out their performance of Magic Man on the Howard Stern show lately. Their sound and her voice only got better over time! ua-cam.com/video/w18j-ad4VlQ/v-deo.html
Yea baby, so true! Not even any echo or reverb on her either...pure vocal talent.
You still hear real vox and music if you're not too lazy to look for it

Pure classic !

I would take it back to 1:40 through 1:45. Ann's interpretation of the song is priceless.
Listen at Michael Derosier on that drum kit...damn, what bad ass bass drum work. Howard Leese destroying that guitar too.
I was born too late, but still happy to hear heart music
Classic girl rock! I also love Dolly Patton’s duet with Nancy on this song! 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I've never heard of Dolly Patton. I bet Dolly Parton would have done a great duet with her, though.
@@gregoryduncan3067 Ya just couldn't let it go.
@@markgigiel2722 No, my observantness worked against me.
I think Dolly’s duet was with Ann not Nancy
Actually, it's with Ann not Nancy on the new duet. Howard Leese plays guitar on it as well.
I’ve watched tons of videos from Heart in the ‘70s, and if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s Roger Fisher dressing like Luke Skywalker. Did he even have any other clothes?!
These lyrics at this tempo would be extremely difficult to reproduce for any female artist then and now. Pure raw vocal powerhouse.
The Wilson sister’s sure have a 🥵 back up band, love them, fantastic band!!
Love this álbum!!! Greetings from Argentina!!!!
Luke Skywalker killing it on guitar
Cool version. Wish it was the full song but that's T.V. for you.
Hope this is the first of many performances of Heart!
They rocked it! I remember watching this when it first aired! Women rockers who rocked hard! She could sing -
A time that won't be repeated ever again, glad to have witnesses this live ,,,🤙🤙🤙🤙
This is the cleanest version of this video I have ever seen! Things need to be for sale so the public can buy them in a high quality, like Blu-ray in this case, format 👍
This whole Heart performance and the Journey performances would be great official release starters. Both the 1978 and 1979 Journey Midnight Special performances too!

HEART F'N ROCKS!
Heart rocked the Midnight Special for sure you ladies are awesome 🎉🎉
I loved Heart; still do. ❤

(:
I remember when I was 11 years old, no matter how long I stared at that album cover, they NEVER kissed...
simply wonderful I experienced Heart in real time in the 70's Ann's vocal mesmerized me!
I mean are you kidding me with her performance?! Incredible, magical!
Magic Ann!!
🏆
Nancy played a mean guitar 🎸
This channel is a bell sing, love all of these live performances.
Wonderful! Thanks TMS guys.
Lyrics
Cold, late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
I never seen eyes so blue
You know, I could not run away it seemed
We'd seen each other in a dream
Seemed like he knew me, he looked right through me, yeah
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, I'm a magic man"
Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
"Never think of never let this spell last forever"
Well, summer lover passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried, growing up in a hurry
"Come on home, girl" Mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, he's a magic man, Mama, ah
He's a magic man
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
But try to understand, try to understand
Oh, oh, try, try, try to understand,
He's a magic man, oh, he's got the magic hands
Oh's over top
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, he's a magic man, yeah, oh

Man that voice 😮
I love dreamboat Annie! Powerful voice!!!
Rock n' Roll's greatest sisters
Ann’s dress is so legendary

That would be amazing!
I hope so. I think the more things get digital and AI-created, the more people will appreciate some human analog-yness

No. Pop music is a time and trend based thing, and those move on.
thank the Mama Mia movie for that@@that70sgirl90
This and Barracuda is Heart. Ann is rocking. Before they became a pop ballad band.
HEART.....wonderfull...🎸
She was so cute
that shape throw at 1:46
Does anyone remember skating to this song at Skate Ranch in Albuquerque back in the 70s?
Magic Men know who we are. We got the magic hands.
Nice!!
Simply magnificent
These clips are great. The only downside is, because of time constraints, they had to play shorter versions of the songs.
She was pretty .one of my fauvorite female banda
Amazing!!!!
The female answer to Robert Plant! Anne Wilson's voice is pure rock!
I like how Luke Skywalker is playing guitar.
😍❤🤘
Still active duty military at the time and remember the guys a the base's reactions..."Wow".
Ann Wilson at this performance is the sexiest woman in the entirety of human history.
Awesome post. Thanks👍
