Remember the Midnight Special?
Had the please of the seeing them twice and always a great performance!
And check out a young Charlie Daniels about 20 min in!

I got a DVD set from Midnight Special. So good. Marshal Tucker was in Fl while I was there but did not make it. Would of cost us $300 and plenty free bands around.

The only thing better than a screaming guitar............



............four screaming guitars!!!

Molly Hatchet came across my MP3 mix while I was splitting wood this weekend. Timeless.

This one (below) has been stuck in my head since then too. I only had the original from somewhere (I even have stuff from back in the Napster days in my permanent best-of mix) and when I went to link to it on YouTube, the official video has been totally wussified! Holy crappola what a shame. They added Danny Trejo as the bartender but changed the lyrics for children and people who cant handle the real language. Sorry, I can only handle the real-deal original, this is how people, especially on parole...talk!

If you cant handle a few cusswords, I recommend you dont click and listen to this.


You may prefer the cleansed version with Hank Williams Jr. Cameo if a few 4 letter words offends yourself.


Now maybe I can get this out of my system and stop this loop from rerunning in my brain and move on to another song stuck in my head!
 
For the Fish fans, complete show from The Princess Theatre in Decatur, Alabama ( home of Big Bob Gibson's barbecue and Chris Lilly ) on April 29th .

Recorded by John Richardson. Who does a good job with this type of video. He recorded Sam's version of " You Put a Spell on Me " 10 years ago, that now has over 3 million views on YT. She says that video was a huge boost to her career.

Just listening to my Samantha Fish recordings I made at Blues Peer in Peer Belgium, Ribs and Blues Festival in Raalte Netherlands and Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht Netherlands. Also have a coming of days of festivals in Bergen Norway where I saw a pretty Yoder sitting in a spot with a spectacular view. Yoder and we had to take a gondola up to it, no roads. Coming up next is 2 nights of an artist I would bet no one one here has heard of in Amsterdam and Neil Young in Copenhagen, Dublin, Brussels and Groningen.

If Sam is like other blues/rock artists, she draws larger crowds in Europe than here ?
 
But there's a cover of the Doors song, that to my memory, got more radio air play than the Doors . Because what got played on the radio, circa 1966 or 1968, were songs that were only 3 minutes long or less. It was not until FM got a foothold, that a lot of good music hit the radio airwaves.

But this is worthy

 
Dunno if that's true... First time I ever heard this cover...

Read the comments below the vid, there's some who only heard Feliciano's version, before they heard the Doors.

AM Radio would not play anything longer than 3 minutes. And almost everyone at that time only had AM radio. I would say FM came along, in 1970. Or maybe earlier in the large cities.
 
FM radio exploded for most in the 1970's. And a large part of that was more FM receivers available. Auto radios were only AM.

I first heard real Allman Brothers in the early 70's, because I had bought a stereo system with an FM receiver. They were a jam band then and that stuff never got played on AM.

FM was not caught up in the 3 minute or less pop music. IDK why that happened, but it did.

By the 1980's, FM radio dominated.
 
Example, The Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East 1971, none of this would get AM radio play, but we eventually got it on FM




Or Derek and the Dominoes Live at the Fillmore , 1971
