I don't know much of his music, but I do like this song better than Dream Weaver.

Wow! I can't believe ISIS never heard of that show!

I didn't watch it often, but as Sam Hain said, it was a show that Wolfman Jack hosted. However, I have always suspected that most of the acts that performed on the show, actually lip-synched to their records, because the band sounded too much exactly like the recorded version and didn't sound like a live version of a song.

I believe that DVD releases of the show have been sold on infomercials.

I was just a baby Steven..... [Wink] I couldn't stay up late on Friday nights...cause I had to get up early Saturday to watch The Secrets of Isis and The Kroft Supershow- [Big Grin]

Another show similar to "Midnight Special", was "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert". Long before the days of MTV.

For some reason, "Rock Concert" has not been released on DVD yet. I'm guessing it's about licensing issues.
