The Midnight Special on YouTube

[Tom Wolper]

The Midnight Special is one of those shows from my youth that I remember fondly and over the years I’ve checked in on YouTube to see if anyone uploaded videos. I recently checked again and I see there is an official account. They are slowly uploading full episodes from the beginning of the series in 1973 and they have about 40 uploaded so far (and they’re still in 1973). There are also clips of single songs from throughout the run. I’ve been having fun watching old episodes and I thought I’d share.

Same; recall it with pleasure, periodically check to see what’s on YT. Thanks so much for this heads up! Looking forward to spending some time on the site and sharing with my kids.

Not sure of the legality involved, but at least one of my Mixcloud-DJ friends has been known to play clips of theirs during selected sets... the musical performances, at least in the US and their native UK, are reportedly covered by licences...

I was more of a fan of the Midnight Express Special, myself.

And we had to stay up to 1 AM to watch it. Well, until 2:30 to watch until the end.
