TheMidnightSpecial, a 1970s late-night show featuring live music from the hottest musicians of the time from David Bowie to Fleetwood Mac, is coming to YouTube.
Music fans rejoice! The legendary television series The Midnight Special is making its way back into your living room via YouTube. According to the original show’s creator, Burt Sugarman, who serves the re-release of the long-running 1970s and early ‘80s program as a producer, fans of beloved musicians including David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, and Tina Turner would be able to stream the variety show for the first time in almost 50 years.
From 1972 to 1982, there was no better place to tune in on a late Friday night to catch your favorite performer putting on a live show than The Midnight Special. As Sugarman recalls, the series was “a groundbreaking and revolutionary show that pushed the boundaries of what was possible on television as not one broadcaster had programming available after 1:00 AM back then.

Music fans won’t want to sleep on catching some of the most talked about performances from superstars like Led Zeppelin, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, The Beach Boys, and more on The Midnight Special, now streaming on YouTube. Celebrate the legacy of the late Christine McVie by watching Fleetwood Mac’s The Midnight Special performance of “Go Your Own Way” below.
