4/5 Rating - The Midnight Special: 1979 - Coverart is wrong but titles listed are correct. This is a great compilation of live performances of some of the best singers in the business! A must watch for music and concert fans of retro music.
3.5/5 Rating - The Midnight Special More 1977 - A special historic look at some the best groups and how they dressed in the 70s. The majority of the live performances are top notch! A must for music fans!
2/5 Rating - The Midnight Special: 1974 - The Midnight Specials that I have watched so far have been top notch with the best songs. This one not so much. The sound and video quality was not the best and the selections of songs were not that great and some songs not performed that well. That said, there were some songs that were performed very well. Worth a watch for the classics with performers at young ages (46 years ago) where some have passed away but not a bookshelf keeper or even a rewatch.
