In the 1970s, Burt Sugarman produced The Midnight Special, a late-night music variety show that brought rock and pop performances to television. Recently, Sugarman has begun uploading these classic performances to YouTube, where viewers can now revisit moments from legends like David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Tina Turner, Steely Dan, Blondie, and more. One standout in the archive features Chuck Berry and the Bee Gees performing “Reelin’ and Rockin'”—originally a B-side to Berry’s “Sweet Little Sixteen” in 1957. Filmed on October 12, 1973, the performance showcases Berry’s energy, backed by a tight band and a strong solo by Maurice Gibb, creating a unique combination that will still blow music fans away.
