Another that's good where I prefer the original - this time from The Band. Baez got some of the lyrics wrong as she learned it by listening to The Band's recording and misheard them.

Thanks so much for posting these! I collected all the DVDs that were released and am excited to see more performances. I grew up watching The Midnight Special, American Bandstand, Soul Train, and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert (which sadly remains unreleased) and the shows bring back wonderful memories.

Never heard this Joe Walsh song before. Not my favorite after hearing it.

Video isn’t their greatest but the music is incredible

I mean how cool is it to see these clips in way higher quality than broadcast ever dreamed of, for free?!?!

Yeah, I’ve been going through those Midnight Special episodes too, blown away by how clean the footage looks now. It’s crazy how much better the sound is compared to the old VHS rips I remember hunting down years ago. Watching Ike and Tina or Bowie in that kind of quality really changes the whole vibe. You can finally notice the little details like background harmonies and even the stage lighting that just got lost in the old broadcasts.

If you're trying to save clips or tweak the format for personal collections or projects, I’ve been using this F4V converter https://www.movavi.com/video-converter/f4v-converter.html that makes it super easy to handle different video formats. Streamlined and saves a ton of time.
