    Thank You for putting all this out, collected all your DVD Releases and was hopeful that a youtube channel would appear and wah lah here it is. a few questions could you pop up a vid or 2 from the 1975 Uriah Heep performance pretty soon in case i croak before the episode airs on this cool channel ha ha . Other question 2 the shows ran for an hour and a half on network tv, commercials usually took 5 minutes to a half hour that would be 15 min to and hour and a half whats missing from these episodes about 7 to 10 min is it M. S. bumpers and ect. ? Thank You

    In 1997 my older brother James died from Multiple Myeloma a blood cancer. He wanted to die at home and that’s were he left us. The Funeral Director Ray came to take his body to the funeral home. There was a problem tho, his assistant wasn’t available so Ray, asked if I’d help place Jim, in a body bag. I had him under his arms and placed him in the bag Ray had positioned on the floor. Since I’m thin, I struggled to lift Jim’s upper body. So Ray asked me if I wanted to take Jim’s legs instead. For the life of me, I don’t know why I thought of it, but I said “He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.” When I just heard the song, I began to cry and tears ran from these 80 year old eyes because I immediately thought of my brother James.

    @@gordonspond8223 Yep, he moved far from home when he joined the Air Force right out of HS so we didn’t see each other a whole lot with work-family obligations. Best memory of him is when my mom and I flew to Hollywood, CA in ‘75 when I was 16 (from Tulsa, OK) to visit great aunt-uncle. Was like a family reunion with my grandma & aunt coming from Wyoming. Robert drove down from Nevada in his cool uncovered jeep and took us to the Griffith Observatory in LA., the J. Paul Getty Museum, the first showing of the movie Jaws at the theater, and the following morning, my 1st time seeing the beach/ocean @ Santa Monica Pier. I was so scared to get in the water but waded in up to my knees haha! He was very interesting-intellectually smart, with a very dry sense of humor like mine, he got his college degree in Anthropology. Miss him but treasure those fleeting memories, like gold.

When I met him at a show in Niagara Falls and told him I had been at the original Cavern Club (they stupidly tore it down and built a new fake one) he gave me a huge hug.

I have tried in vain to learn how to pick the opening to "Long Cool Woman", but this video has given me clues as to how it's done. I love all these love songs; the British Invasion was a wonderful time. The Bee Gees could host every episode, they are So good at it, and the Beatles medley carried me back to my bedroom, playing records on a mono turntable.

    We had this great show and great songs about love none were about devil Satan and crap dark themes songs without any redeeming qualities and no one harmonizes anymore guess they can't really sing today and certainly can't read music or play correctly anyone else's music the reason is they're not real musicians unless they can read sheets and they can't enough said. Put a lead sheet in front of 'em and they freak, and I've done it they can't hang or play pick up and join in with others. All musicians our generation can easily do it all that and more sing harmony play along read sheets and back up anyone do the studio pick up a part in another band fill in for another player we did that. Today they cannot quite cut it or don't know what it takes. We played and practiced all day and night they don't today and it's obvious sounds like no one cares to rehearse.

Months went by, so I wrote to NBC who told me that Midnight Specials never re-run. I was so devastated I never watched the show again. Not only that, I had to wait nearly a decade before I got to see the Searchers in person. I ended up seeing them several times during the 80s, 90s, and 00s.

    I know what you mean, believe me.there were so many things that I loved growing up that I hadn't seen in decades, literally. Here's a silly example. There was a favorite movie that I wanted to record on VHS. ( before DVDs) though it was scheduled to come on however it got preempted.,WTH! ok, I figured the would just reschedule it for the next weekend. To which they didn't. I kept checking the TV guide every week for year after year. Finally, after twenty plus years I saw the commercial for it. I got my VCR already, and finally it came on. I couldn't believe it, after all this time, Finally I Got It!! Just then, The cable went out and the screen turned to snow. I was speechless! I only had a half an hour left to go. Eventually as I got older I found it on DVD. that's just one of many examples. In conclusion, I've always told myself, if I love something, it stays loved. and that goes for anything. if I love it, I will have it again however long it takes.
