The Midnight Special At 50!

Starting with the vision of Burt Sugarman, the Imbalanced Boys discuss the first late, late night TV show, which also happened to be groundbreaking in its presentation of live music! Thanks to the show's uncredited documentarians, we get the word on how it got started from Burt himself. We'll dig into the music, the artists, and of course, the great Wolfman Jack! What might be hard to get your head around is the idea of 1970's TV, and how it all went to a test pattern, after The Tonight Show! Groundbreaking not only in that regard, but in the way that television presented live music to its viewers! The guys say that if they did this episode once a month, it'd be different every time! We believe them... We love our sponsors!!!
