4.0 out of 5 stars LIVE performances from some of the best., September 30, 2008

I think you guys (in the 2 star review and comments) are missing the point: This show existed for the exact reasons that you find distasteful. It was an arena for artists to perform their music LIVE, not MTV style. This was the 1970s and when bands performed live, this is what it sounded like. This is meant to be intimate, stripped down reality. They didn't have computer synths and what not...every other show at the time and later (like American Bandstand) simply had the artists syncing to the recording. If that is what you prefer, stick with AM BS, MTV and the like. However, if REAL live music is your bag, and what you appreciate is the stripped down rawness of that, then Midnight Special is the way to go. I love it for all the same reasons you folks don't, and i happen to adore the Heart performance. I can't help but wonder if you are all under the age of 30. If so, that would explain the expectations.

There is only one thing that would make this video better, full episodes instead of selected songs. The average is 80 minutes in length which is CD, NOT DVD length. It is a waste of space. Regardless, the footage brings back great memories.
