Classic rock radio wouldn't SUCK nearly as bad if they played bands like these on occassion. Conquistador was a rare forgotten treat. 30 Days has always been a favorite. How many times can a person hear Sweet Home Alabama and Old Tome Rock and Roll without going postal? It doesn't help that they've added Enter Sandman and Sweet Child of Mine to their neverending cycle of unimaginative tripe to the hourly lineup. Midnight Special ROCKS. I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR!!!!

His family had him audition for early roles, got some work, and actually put himself through an acting school, the school agreeing to be paid when he made money from acting jobs. His family wanted him to keep going on in acting, but he had that calling MUSIC!

The Blackberries were hired by Marriott for the album "Eat It" and tour (1973/1974). The Blackberries then went on to tour with Pink Floyd for "Dark Side Of The Moon", recorded again with Humble Pie on "Thunderbox" (1974), as well as doing a second stint for Pink Floyd`s "Wish You Were Here" tour (1975).

I’m gonna have a ❤ Attack but will definitely die happy after seeing “ a lil’ doctor preacher ” named Steve Marriott! Humble Pie w/Greg Ridley a favorite bassist-love his cool hat, darn they’re in the pocket w/the Blackberries backup singing. “ Say Yea!!! “ Alvin Lee and “ big red “🎸oooof he’s so sexy with that bluesy voice. Gary Brookers 🤩 voice-keys skills are gorgeously exceptional. Goodness Gracious 😘 🥰 😍 What A Show!! I’m exhausted!! … Whew!! 😂 👏 👏

Humble Pie's 30 Days in the Hole performance here rivaled T Rex's Bang a Gong, or Edgar Winter's Frankenstein, in my not so humble opinion.

Alvin Lee issued "On The Road To Freedom" in late '73 (with LeFevre), and this is that record's band. The other TYA members had nothing to do with it, as they were on their last legs together before '74 breakup. Nice to see Boz in post-Crimson, pre-Bad Co performance . That record's worth checking out, but don't expect TYA-type boogie. It has several guest stars on it, including Capaldi, Winwood, & Harrison.

Absolutely amazing ... an Anglophile's dream, musically speaking. Such an incredible lineup of talent, all in their prime, tho' sadly so many of these talented musicians are no longer with us. Gary Brooker, such a class act, and isn't that Keith Reid, Procol Harum's lyricist, as the dude with the horn at 11:42 and 11:55? Also nice to see Steeleye Span with Maddy Prior dancin'.

This is so awesome to relive Midnight Special. This and In Concert were 2 TV shows that were what TV was all about. So glad to have partied with Steve Marriott in 1986.

The 1st IN CONCERT show I recall was Sept 1972 with Alice Cooper. I had just bought the SCHOOL'S OUT LP in August. I was pumped...11:30pm rolls around & no TV signal? Blank screen?!? WTH!!!! Years later, literally, I read some local affiliates censored the episode. Good ol' Virginia. I think Tull & Curtis Mayfield were on the same episode. They were great.

Great to hear live music after last episode where acts only mimed playing. Especially enjoyed hearing "Whiter Shade of Pale." Unusual for a band to have two keyboard players. That organ part was borrowed from Bach!
