Just watched the pilot of The Midnight Special. Originally aired at 1 AM, August 9th, 1972. It was a "get out the vote" show for young adults. Fun show to watch. John Denver was the host. No lip-synching which was rare back then. Musicians included The Everly Brothers, Cass Elliot, Harry Chapin, Linda Ronstadt, War, Argent, David Clayton Thomas (Blood, Sweat and Tears), Helen Reddy and The Isley Brothers.
