Easy Money is John Wetton playing and singing in amazing time signatures with the mighty Bill Bruford on drums. "Got no truck with the la-di-da, keep my bread in an old fruit jar, drive you out in a motor car, getting fat on your lucky star, just making Easy Money" Happy Birthday to Burt Sugarman!!!
Crimson's music at this point was not exactly in step with the mainstream of pop-rock - it was not even much like most "prog" rock - which they supposedly were - but it clearly had staying power - ( even if some in the crowd did not recognize it then ) and Wetton showed glimpses of his formidable talents that would lead to his greater commercial success years later with U.K. & Asia ..
Bee Gees 4ever. My mother loved them. I was born in the summer of 1967, when Massachusetts was released. I've been loving Barry, Robin and Mo my entire life.
The Bee Gees are hosting The Midnight Special for the 4th time in just 6 months. They were not only very talented musicians, but they were also very funny. They could've had their own show. Happy 85th, Mr. Sugarman.
@@Melke.2024 I think that they appear one more time in the November 23 1973 episode, and then once more in 1975. But I don't know if they host them or not.
@@KittyGrizGriz No Muddy Waters, no Rolling Stones...homework time, junior. Where do you think their name came from? Who do you think influenced Chuck Berry & helped him get signed with Chess Records? 🤯
This should be an interesting watch. To think 4 short years later the Bee Gees would rise yet to another epic level with the disco age craze, and something called Saturday Night Fever was going to take the world by storm. I don't even think the Bee Gees knew what was about to happen to them.
In 1968 they were causing mob scenes comparable to The Beatles. In Germany their car roof was crushed by fans. When they played the Savoy in London in 1968, the mob pushed Paul McCartney out of the way to get at Vince, Barry, Robin, Mo and Coin. Paul said, "We had our time, now it's their turn".
Nice mix of talent, Stars: Bee Gees, Chuck Berry, King Crimson and Lesser knowns: Apple and Appleberry, Barbara Mason and Lee Michaels. Can't wait for another trip in the Way Back Machine!😀
Bee Gees humor @8:03, with Mo fixing his hair behind Barry's back....to Barry's pronunciation of the word "super"....to Barry looking like a Greek god in that outfit!❤️🔥😘❤️🔥
Wow!! I never saw this version of "Alone Again" by the Bee Gees. Great live performance of the song Robin wrote with Mo 😍 Barry and Robin both had beautiful hair, Mo got a little shortchanged, but he was cute. Thank you so much for posting these episodes!!!!
The Bee Gees appear 1 more time in 1973 on Episode 43 of The Midnight Special which they do "Bad Bad Dreams" (from 1972 "To Whom It May Concern") & "I Don't Wanna Be The One" (from 1973 "Life In A Tin Can") with host Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits). The Maurice Gibb song "Lay It On Me" is from the Bee Gees early 1971 album "2 Years On" as well as the closer "Alone Again".
this channel, more than any other UA-cam channel, has the best videos from the 70s by far. Best quality and best performances. It's truly amazing that these recordings aren't lost like so many episodes from back then. They look and sound possibly even better than they did when they aired. Really lucky
I smiled, hooted & laughed so very much at the Bee Gees having the time of their lives with Chuck Berry, that I gave myself a headache! BGs + CB = ROCKIN' N' ROLLIN'!
Can't wait, The Midnight Special! What a wonderful episode tonight with our Bee Gees hosting for the fourth time! I'm already giddy just thinking about it! 😊
Thank you TMS! Another amazing show - I dunno if I've ever seen Robert Fripp without a suit or vest, lol! If I have its been so long I've forgot.🤘😎🤘 Barry Gibb may have been the best looking human being ever. Good LORD that guy makin it hard for the rest of us! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BURT!! ( A day late) THANK YOU
Hello from the 🇵🇭 I never unexpected with the Bee Gees are jamming together in the 70s because when Sir Barry and Robin were wearing sando that's why when Sir Barry was very macho in the 70s to 90s. 😯😲😎💯 Sending hugs to Sir Barry Gibb 🫂 Very good performance ❤🫰 This is very special tribute to Maurice and Robin Gibb and Chuck Berry, they are the music legacies in the 70s. Both of three, you surely will be missed. 😭🥺💔🕊
What a joy to see some new rare Lee Michaels footage. This was towards the end of his career, with his last two albums on Columbia, notably on “Tailface” when he had switched to electric guitar.
@@mrnobodyz Some consider that period in KC's history to be their best as they released Larks' Tongues In Aspic and then Starless And Bible Black followed by Red in a short period of time, that was the period of the Flying Brick Wall sound as Robert called it and it produced Starless which is probably one of their best ever compositions.
@@darreng745 Thanks for the heads up, I can see why they were influential. They really push the tight drumming forward in their music, very now, ahead of their time.
Thanks so much for this wonderful treat from 50 years ago! Really enjoyed seeing the rare footage of Lee Michaels on Fender Rhodes in a trio configuration with Keith Knudsen (later of the Doobie Brothers) on drums and Joel Christie (previously of the Cosmic Travelers) on bass. Lee Michaels was a fixture on the Bay Area scene of the mid- to late-60s and had two Top 40 hits in 1971, one of which he plays here. The three of them seem to be having a blast and Lee's radiant happiness is infectious. Thanks to the continued dedication to restoring and releasing the Midnight Special!
Thi would have to be one of the most fun videos I've seen with the BeeGees. Of course they were always playing pranks on each other so it's no wonder that they were so popular on midnight special. They werd terrific with Chuck Berry. I'm still laughing.
Just a random unknowingly wonderful Friday night where we could take for granted we were witnessing brilliance. Have not had it since and can't imagine ever having it again.
Great performances from all of the artists! Another way-back machine moment. Especially fun seeing the Monty Python gang gritting their teeth and hoping the censorship board would keep everything in the skit aired. Niel Ennis (a Ruttle) doing his bit caught my attention in the stilts playing the quick blues number. Interesting Anyway, carry on. . .
This might have been Monty Python's first or second American appearance of performing live- the show wasn't even on the air in the states yet! (although it was airing in Canada so people who could get CBC across the boarder from Canada could have seen it)
Chuck sure got in his subliminal moves, LOL! What a performer! Hard to upstage the Bee Gees but he did it! R&R was his bag, one of the originals. He stole the show. Always liked "Alone Again" & don't recall ever seeing them do it live anywhere else. "Bye, bye blackbird" was fun. The next year the "Mr Natural" LP would start their resurgence in popularity again.
I've seen the video clips posted by The Midnight Special many many times, but I am so eager to see the episode in its entirety. "Alive" always hits me hard. The musicality is exceptional, but the emotion conveyed is beyond description. Also really looking forward to Lee Michaels.
I loved Barbara Mason's songs from the 1960s❤. I saw her on American Bandstand. One of her later 1970's songs was in a Pam Grier movie. It was a pleasant surprise to see her.
19:09 Barry 😋, this song is so very suggestive w/Chucks ad lib movements, 👏 👏 👏. Love The Bee Gees helping him “Bring IT On Home!!” that’s rock n roll baby…❤✌️
@@KittyGrizGriz Yes, he looks VERY good in that outfit!!😍Also love the matching jacket he had on earlier in the show! The guy could've been a model, but we're glad he chose to be the frontman of the Bee Gees!!🥰😍
I was wondering whether, during "Maybellene," Chuck Berry noticed the girl at the edge of the stage gazing up at him and mouthing all the words. I love how, at 07:49, he points at her and exclaims, "You were one when that came out!"
Someone didn't tell the sound crew the BeeGees would be joining Chuck Berry. After the levels were set, they sounded great together. Would've have thought that.
Just imagine getting hit with "Larks' Tongues in Aspic" complete with Robert Fripp glaring contemptuously at you after "Massachussetts" and the rest of the easy singles on this set. good heavens, what a time for music....
Now this is how we should remember Chuck Berry. I met him after one of his concerts several years back and he was very chill. I know several important artists/bands have covered his songs but I had no idea he performed with the Brothers Gibb! Unfortunately in St. Louis his legacy is hotly debated. Many local people won't forget a lot of the bad stuff he did in his later years - but if not for him several people wouldn't have picked up a guitar.
@@loilt5091 - I don't believe I ever referred to "best". I just said TV and even radio in the 50's didn't give exposure to black artists. I liked Chuck, Howlin' Wolf, Fats Domino, Little Richard and a lot of black doo wop artists of the era but they were not given any prominence in the mainstream (maybe with the exception of Nat King Cole) and their songs were homogenised by people like Pat Boone. ☹ I'm an old biddie and remember how "white" TV was then. Most of these folks got recognition after groups like The Beatles, The Animals and The Stones started to cover their songs.
It looks like the next episode after this from October 19, 1973 was hosted by War, and it also features appearances from Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Climax Blues Band, Mott the Hoople, New York Dolls, Danny O'Keefe, and Piper.
Can I just point out Barbara Mason's performance of "Yes I'm Ready": 1) she composed the tune by herself (without 10 other songwriters), 2) she was tastefully dressed and not half ass naked on stage jiggling her body parts, and 3) she could actually SING without any gimmicks. Am I the only one who misses female vocalists who had talent and class like this?!?!
Chuck Berry AND The Bee Gees on stage together? I was in Heaven..
That crowd knew they were seeing something special when The Bee Gees jammed with Chuck. They yelled for more 'til they got it.
OMG, Robin’s voice on their first song with him! He should have done a cover of it, too!
Easy Money is John Wetton playing and singing in amazing time signatures with the mighty Bill Bruford on drums.
"Got no truck with the la-di-da, keep my bread in an old fruit jar, drive you out in a motor car, getting fat on your lucky star, just making Easy Money"

Really awesome.
I never imagined Chuck Berry ever jammed with Bee Gees.

Chuck Berry. These young adults gave proper respect to him. They knew what they were witnessing and Chuck did too. 'All my children'.
The white kids right in front of him are higher than kites.

The Bee Gees: perfection.
I agree❤
I saw the original broascast. I was blown away by King Crimsom (RIP John Wetton). Loved Lee Michaels too.
This should be an interesting watch. To think 4 short years later the Bee Gees would rise yet to another epic level with the disco age craze, and something called Saturday Night Fever was going to take the world by storm. I don't even think the Bee Gees knew what was about to happen to them.

Should be a great show tonight, with the Bee Gees performing 6 or 7 times!🎶
Wow!! I never saw this version of "Alone Again" by the Bee Gees. Great live performance of the song Robin wrote with Mo 😍 Barry and Robin both had beautiful hair, Mo got a little shortchanged, but he was cute. Thank you so much for posting these episodes!!!!
Hi. Unfortunately I have contacted you elsewhere but get deleted. Sad. ☹
This vocais version is more better than Studio album. ❤
Bless all the souls of those great musicians gone now.☮️💔
RIP my beloved friends.
Thank you so much for the memories in this post.😊☮️✌️
Very well spoken, not any more like Lee Michael’s!❤

And they are ending with "Alone Again." What a great surprise!

Remember watching this in the 9th grade having just moved to Salisbury, NC. Love the Bee Gees! Good times.
Chuck gets a standing ovation and an encore. Perfect
What a joy to see some new rare Lee Michaels footage. This was towards the end of his career, with his last two albums on Columbia, notably on “Tailface” when he had switched to electric guitar.
Drummer Bill Bruford didn’t dig being in “Yes” anymore so here he is playing with his new band King Crimson. Great footage to watch.
They sounded really fresh. Not a massive fan of Rock music, I can’t believe I grew up without knowing their music other than from film clips.
