Hi Jen how are you doing 😊❤ Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 😊

There will never ever be a collection of live great Country Music on another TV show again like this episode. Thanks Midnight Special!!

Conway Twitty just takes it all to another level. Amazing intensity.

Every episode is a gem, but now and then something magical happened when certain singers were brought together and the show unfolded like a dream. This is one of those magical episodes. Those were the days when record companies fought to sign real talent, not just T&A shakers.

Wow! Heavyweights of 70’s country and all personal favorites

This one hour show is about the best example of country music as you will ever find. It does not feature all of the genuine country stars, but it embodies the "soul" of country. It is truly priceless!

This show is the concentrated version of classic country music. I was 16 when I watched this episode of TMS. Wow! Looking back, it's absolutely chock-full of hardcore country singers. What a treasured moment in time. Thanks for the upload. It helped me re-live a great time in my life.

Marty and Tammy should have had their own variety show after this !! Great chemistry, hilarious banter. Marty was a huge talent that left us way too early

I was born in 73 and love seeing these vintage performances.

This is the first time I see Midnight Special. What a treat this is. Sure wish Country still sounded like this today.

Simply fantastic show!

My Mom loved Conway Twitty. WOW.. I dont think i heard this song, You've Never Been So Far ....in 50 years! I can still remember her playing the record. Really enjoyed watching this. I was 8 when this was shown. Parents would watch these perfomers on TV. Had the records. SAD, to think almost all passed away. Only Tanya, and Johnny Rodriguez are still alive today, I believe. Great music never dies.

These uploads are great. Thanks Burt

Damn! This show is STACKED!

legendary lineup this episode!

My mon had some cousins who grew up here, around Hardy, AR, and they became country music stars in Nashville. They had a syndicated TV show in the 60s and early 70s and they were first to sign Loretta to a tour contract and appearances on their weekly shows. She became a star later on, thanks much to the Wilburn Brothers...they were a class act and may they rest in peace

Now that was an A-list country roster. I never saw 'The Midnight Special' when I was growing up, and I'm really enjoying these full episodes.

Great talent. Sad that most are gone now.

This brings my childhood back to life. On a side note.... other than those old Crisco commercials, i believe this is the only time i have ever seen Loretta Lynn wearing slacks. This is a fantastic collection of 70's country music headliners.
