Jose Feliciano a true genius. His skills as a guitar player are off the chart, plus the fact that he has to memorize all the songs he sings. This was 50 years ago and Jose is still going strong (his appearance Daryl's House us also outstanding)
I saw this ORIGINAL program in '73(?). I was totally impressed by JOSE FELICIANO, and his Spanish lyrics! I never, ever forgot it. I was impressed for sure! It is now October, 2024. The good impressions have endured!
Got to see him 2 years before his passing. He could barely walk and need help coming up on the stage but once he sat and handed the guitar he never missed a beat simply one of the most gifted ever players
@@chriscorman734You were so darn lucky, I’m just a lil’ Jelly!! He’s from TX & lived one state away from me, am sure I had plenty of opportunities to see him perform but he wasn’t on my radar when younger. Young & Dumb lol.
@@KittyGrizGrizI live in a suburb near Chicago and many years ago back in the 80s I was down at the checkerboard lounge in Chicago during the week to see some blues . There was only about 20 people in the joint and suddenly Johnny Winter and his Entourage walked in because he was in town and Buddy Guy had invited him because it was buddy's club. They sat at the front table and a little later Johnny got up and sat in with the band for about an hour and half. He blew the roof off the joint. Then a couple of months later I saw him at the Aragon ballroom with Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan and once again he blew the roof off the joint. He was one amazing guitar player. All those Texas boys are.😅
Jose’… I saw him in concert and sat within a few feet of him at Blossom Music Center with the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra behind him.. it was a moving evening at the age of 13 1969..I asked my mom if I could trade my electric in for a Spanish classical.. I still have it today..
Really good show! Jose is such a great guitarist, nice to see him playing that Gibson electric with the wah wah pedal. Of course all the acts were fantastic. Thanks
I was a 1 1/2 year old in 1973 and obviously did not see this. But this was definitely a great show. This show was full of future legends, Jose Feliciano, Johnny Winter and the Staple Singers. Wow!
Really amazing show tonight! Every act was incredible! I'm pumped and ready for the next one! Thanks so much, Midnight Special! Words don't do justice to the gratitude I feel! ✌💓
@@gregoryduncan3067 Oh my gosh! I know what you mean when you say it's too much awesome! I really wish they could do two shows a week, or two shows back to back on Fridays. It's killer waiting for each one! 😜 But I know, they want channel longevity. I feel like a kid who can't wait for Christmas! 😆
@@StephanieJeanne Well, look at it this way. If they only show one episode a week, it will last longer. There's only so many episodes and that's it. They want channel longevity so they'll be with us for awhile.
I was in 5th or 6th grade when ‘Brother Louie’ was a hit. At the time the county I was living in began a bussing program to desegregate the schools. Our elementary music teacher used ‘Brother Louie’ to teach us 10 year olds love and tolerance. I don’t remember her name but she was a beautiful hopeful young lady with a heart for us boys and girls, showing the spirit of optimism that still lingered in the air. I hope she is still alive (she has to be in her 70s now-only 12-15 years older!!?)and per chance loves music enough to watch this video and read this note. Thank you for shaping this boys mind in the right direction.
Absolutely LOVE Johnny Winter, the white hot Texas Bluesman!! Wish I’d seen him perform live, he plays an awesome slideee guitar whew! 😅 ❤ 🎸❤️ “Johnny Winter used a lightweight chrome guitar slide which he wore on his fourth finger. This gave his tone a sharp and aggressive bite, and allowed him to execute licks and solos at speed. Winter has a signature slide “- the Johnny Winter Texas Slide.”
TOP always bring the funk, and the late great Bruce Conte was one the greatest of all rhythm/lead players in the the genre, thanks for the music guys 🤘🏻
The Staples Singer’s family played @ the Summer of Soul ‘69 Harlem’s Cultural Festival, if you haven’t seen it it’s a banger 2021 documentary produced by Quest Love.
"Twenty two years in a rock and roll band" was quite a feat in 1973. 24:43 I love guitars that are just slabs of mahogany with single coil pickups. Johnny Winter's Firebird is a neck-through plank of mahogany with mini-humbuckers. Top Of The City rocks. (:
I think he played the same instrument when he appeared with Derek Trucks at a Crossroads concert. He did Highway 61. I met Derek after a concert in Edmonton Alberta. Derek told me he had just met Johnny that day and they had not practiced together. He just started off and the rest of the band just followed Johnny's lead. The performance was seamless. You would never know they had not played prior to that day. It was magic!!!
I never would have imagine that TMS is what I was waiting for. I grew up with it as a young kid but never knew where I heard them first. Tower of Power What is Hip was release in 1973. It was still fresh with this recording.
The first two songs took on a whole new life as Jose and Johnny put a whole new spin on them, that amount of talent could make the Burger King jingle a #1 hit. The Staples were smooth as buttermilk. I read the name, "Savoy Brown in Classic Rock magazine, but the earlier episode, and their appearance here confirmed the hype. I remember Brother Louie from when I was a kid, it is a song ahead of its time. Tower of Power so professional, so talented. Every week becomes my favorite episode upon viewing.
Jose Feliciano, always one of the greatest performers and guitarists of all time, it's a shame that RCA first and then the lack of serious managers and staff like other stars, have destroyed the career of someone who today should be considered a genius of music!
Once saw a performance of his where he played a low note by tuning his lowest guitar string lower while playing at the same time. I believe it was 'Light my fire'. As an aspiring guitarist I was extremely impressed. Incredible.
@@bartvandenpoel8568I have every Jose feliciano album and have been a big fan of his for a long time and I always used to love when in the middle of the song he would bust into a solo and start peeling up and down the neck. Beside everything else he could play a mean lead guitar. 😮
I don't got tickets for it or anything but I just saw the Tower of Power was coming to my area this weekend and then they popped up on this episode from 50 years ago amazing. Tomorrow night. They'll be here in my area.
i saw Johnny Winter And (The McCoys with Rick Derringer accompanying him.) around 1970-71. Rick would play this fantastic lead and then Johnnie would take it into overdrive in double time. i couldn't even follow all the notes he was playing so fast. Absolutely incredible concert.
Stories are great! I saw them live at the Hollywood Palladium when “Brother Louie” was No. 1. “Top of the City”, a single and album track (from their wonderful “About Us” LP) rocks like mad live!
The next episode from July 13, 1973 sounds like it's a good one. The host for it was Smokey Robinson, where he performed both solo and with The Miracles. It also features Bonnie Bramlett, Martin and Finley, Rare Earth, and The Stylistics.
I've been asking for Stories "Top of the City" for some time, the final song is just that, thanks guys🙏It shows the true side of the band- the rock band they actually were, the lp its on is excellent, Brothrr Louie was not on the original LP
...As well as an Interesting departure from The Michael Brown era first album that featured their other more well known song 'I'm Coming Home"....I guess Eddie Kramer producing helped get that harder edge...
Jose’ gave a shout out to TTown’s most famous ‘Tulsa Sound’ man Leon Russell, how cool! “ Even Though My Eyes Are Blind I Can Still See Your Face ”, what great lyrics, oh my so very powerful!! 🦋
Also with Simmonds in this performance is keyboard/2nd guitarist Paul Raymond who went on to play with UFO and the Michael Schenker Group. So there was lots of talent in this version of Savoy Brown...just not from Lynton.
I REMEMBER THIS TAPING WATCHING AS A CHILD WITH MY FATHER THE TOWER OF POWER GAVE IT AWAY. HE LOVED TOWER OF POWER AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE ‘SO VERY HARD TO GO’ WHICH HE ENDED UP BUYING ON A 45 SINGLE. LENNY WILLAMS IS DOING LEAD VOCALS ON THE SONG. EVENTUALLY HE WOULD LEAVE THE BAND AND HAVE A HIT ON RNB RADIO WITH THE SONG CALLED ‘CAUSE I LOVE YA’ LATE 70’s/EARYLY 80’s. STORIES SONG ‘BROTHER LOUIE’ WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HEARD THE SONG AND IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT THE 45 SINGLE AS WELL. SONG WAS BIG ON RNB RADIO AND POP RADIO MY FATHER DUGGED THE MESSAGE SO THERE. YEA GREAT LINE UP AND JOSE F WAS ALSO A FAN FAVORITE OF MY FATHERS. HE HAS TWO OF HIS ALBUMS EITHER ON REEL 2 REEL OR EIGHT TRACK BACK FROM THE EARLY 1970’s. THE GIRL WITH JOHNNY WINTERS WAS HIS WIFE WHO IS SINGING IN THE BAND. LENNY WILLIAMS WASNT THE ORIGINAL FRONTMAN IT WAS GUY NAME RICK STEVENS (GOOGLE) WHO SANG ON THE TOWER OF POWER 1972 ‘YOUR STILL A YOUNG MAN’.
@@KittyGrizGriz You’re welcome. I agree Steve Love was a cool looking guitar player on stage. Excellent guitar riffs by him in Brother Louie and even better in Top of the City. I found this on Wikipedia about Steve. He’s from New York. He reappeared in the early 1980s as Landscape Madey, after a two album stay with the Earl Slick Band and provided accompaniment for Peggy Lee. Steve also did session work. Hopefully someone else can provide more information about him.
Great concert front to back. A little bit of cringe when Wolfman Jack said to watch next week standing next to Jose. But wow, Stories really brings it at the end. Thanks for the awesome upploads!!!
The Stories should have done "I'm Coming Home" or "Darling" instead of "Top Of The City". Jose did a good version of The Temptations "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone"!!
Midnight showcased many acts n now n then someone came along that shoned under a different light like Feliciano down the road came Jeff Healy these guitarist possessed a soul most players with sight didnt have😅
Not one of the stronger shows although I loved Feliciano's "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." Did you know that whole song is only one chord? Oh and the horn section on Tower of Power? Rock solid.
When they first show Kim Simmonds Les Paul, you can see the great tiger stripes underneath the gold paint. Who covers up a nice top like that, even for a gold-top?
YOU TUBE broadcasts Midnight Special, but television needs a present day program like MIDNIGHT SPECIAL to highlights true music artist . I am not aware of any broadcast that type of program. Only contests like The Voice and Americas Got Talent. Nothing present day compares to Midnight Special.
I was 19 years old in 1973 played guitar in a funk band still playing at 69 ,Feliciano has always been one of my favorite guitarists 🎼🎸
That’s fabulous you play! I absolutely love the Funk music genre
I totally loved the way Jose did California dreaming
Jose Feliciano a true genius. His skills as a guitar player are off the chart, plus the fact that he has to memorize all the songs he sings. This was 50 years ago and Jose is still going strong (his appearance Daryl's House us also outstanding)
That was one killing episode because there were zero bad acts!🎉

Wow! You come from the future.
That version of California dreamin' is incredible.First time hearing it.Enjoyed all the performances.Truely awesome seeing this for the first time.
Bobby Womack (also on this show!) Does a great version of California Dreamin' on one of his albums. Check it out!
It was included on the “ Once Upon Time In Hollywood “ movie soundtrack.
WOW! Johnny Winter rocks!
Hes a bad mofo

What great jose feliciano here! his California Dreamin' in one of the most great cover recorded on soul music

Wonderful story thanks for sharing & you were so very lucky, it sounds like a totally moving experience!! Cool.
Cool my 18th bday. Tower of Power my favorite from this show and they are still going strong.
These are great live on stage performances of original artists. 70s snd 80s music better than 21st century music.
Amazing guitar player, so soulful

So much talent on one stage with such diverse music genres. Thank God for music 🎶 🎵 hope i can get a Amen
Mavis Staples was one of the most soulful singers of her day, and Bob Dylan was definitely a huge fan. She is underrated and still going strong.
Dylan was such a big fan that he asked her to marry him.

Well since this recording was july 6th 1973 I would imagine that's why its still fresh...🤔🙄🤦♂️

Another great mix of artists. Midnight Special has the best in live performances.
Mean Cowbell action from Mrs. Johnny Winter !
She was cute😊
Moar cowbell
I got a fever. And I gotta have more Cowbell dammit
Wish they showed more of TOP's amazing David Garibaldi on drums. Those drum parts are sublime.
Intrigued by Savoy Brown and will be great to see The Staple Singers and Tower of Power!
Tower of Power! Yes!
Yes savoy brown is mesmerizing and tower of power is just that powerful
the precursor to Foghat!!
@@eric_in_florida not at this time - Foghat had already been formed by previous members or Savoy Brown.
@@eric_in_floridanot exactly...
The Stories - Top of the City was a perfect ending to a great show hosted by a great man Jose Feliciano on the Midnight Special.

Jose savoy brown and tower of power and badass Johnny Winter dawm this shows kickass take no prisoners
Man, I remember this show. Always looked forward to seeing who would be on the show. Loved Jose.
Damn that took me back fifty years.
Como admiro como lo admiro cantando esas canciones de los 70 que me fascinan
Great show! Lots of great songs and performances. 👍
You know, José Feliciano, ya got no complaints.
Lord please take me back to the good Ole golden days!!
Savoy brown was awesome I think
When it comes to Heart & Soul, Jose blows just about everything going on today, and this song is a perfect example, You Da Man Jose!!! ;-)
*A Glam Spectacular!* and that's just Mr & Mrs Winter 🎸 🎸
I came for the incredible time capsule that these episodes provide...I stayed for Mavis Staples...and the flugelhorn(TOP)!
The cowbell player~backup singer w/J. Winter is so cute love her outfit, she reminds me of JJ Cale’s wife~widow Christine Lakeland!? Wow!
Mavis Staples is still out touring at 84
Johnny rocks! He and Edgar are the Glam band pioneers!
Johnny and Jimi ...we where blessed
Here at 1:00 am Vibe’ n to the midnight special !! 🤘 space ace ron ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Thumbs up for Johnny Winter. I haven't even heard any more of the show yet!
Friday special 😎. Many thanks @themidnightspecial team.
The Stories Louie Louie was just perfect and Jose did a great job hosting.
They were smoking for sure. Their 2nd song was good as well...
Bass player was funky as fudge!
@@fretfix1 Wasn't he?...lol
Love Louie Louie song too; Funk~A~Delicious~Groovy~Great! 😅

The brief Jackie Lynton period of Savoy Brown. Awesome!!
Chris Youlden era was their best
Kim Simmonds must have been desperate when he signed Lynton. Arguably SB's worst singer, a big step down from Chis Youlden and Dave Walker.
Also with Simmonds in this performance is keyboard/2nd guitarist Paul Raymond who went on to play with UFO and the Michael Schenker Group. So there was lots of talent in this version of Savoy Brown...just not from Lynton.

yeah....looking forward to it. saw him live back in the day. One of the all time best.
Jose on a Gibson Byrdland(?) and a Vox Wah-Wah (?)
yeah, 2nd time for Savoy brown, they show an episode with them maybe 1 month ago apprx.
Cant get enough of Savoy B
Know what's funny with the changing of time? I see Johnny or Edgar Winter now and think: Targaryens! LOL
TOP w/ Lenny Williams killler
Great concert front to back. A little bit of cringe when Wolfman Jack said to watch next week standing next to Jose. But wow, Stories really brings it at the end. Thanks for the awesome upploads!!!
Laying in bed tootaloop radio under my pillow…….damn
The Stories should have done "I'm Coming Home" or "Darling" instead of "Top Of The City". Jose did a good version of The Temptations "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone"!!
The Stories song Brother Louie was also done by Hot Chocolate.
I didn't know he passed away in a car accident 2014 bless his soul and send him Mighty Angels dear Lord Jose Feliciano
He didn't! Jose is still alive at 78.
That was a Salsa singer with te same name Jose ( Cheo) Feliciano.
TOP, with LP in a hat. Yeah.
Midnight showcased many acts n now n then someone came along that shoned under a different light like Feliciano down the road came Jeff Healy these guitarist possessed a soul most players with sight didnt have😅
Not one of the stronger shows although I loved Feliciano's "Papa Was a Rolling Stone." Did you know that whole song is only one chord? Oh and the horn section on Tower of Power? Rock solid.
Not enough lightweight pop for you; blues, soul, gospel…
johnny on guitar, Randy Jo Hobbs on bass, and Mr. Hughes on drums, but who is the luscious blonde backup singer?
That’s Johnny’s soon to be wife, Susan, isn’t she pretty? They were happily married until his 2014 death in Switzerland, sad…I miss him.
Either Johnny Winter was very tall or the platform boots made him even taller! Does a great rendition of the old Stones hit. He kept rockin'@
if you"re really hip, you have a all white horn section...
Horns of privilege
When they first show Kim Simmonds Les Paul, you can see the great tiger stripes underneath the gold paint. Who covers up a nice top like that, even for a gold-top?
I think you are seeing lacquer cracks and not flame.
