I remember as a kid staying up 'til midnight (Chicago time) on Saturday nites just 'cause I loved the show's theme song.  If I was able to stay awake I could hear the other acts.  We had no way to record music or the TV so besides AM radio the only way to hear/see music was getting in front of a TV at just the right time.  It made going to church the next morning pretty ruff.  We did not have a turntable yet.

I don't recall the actual brand, but it look similar to this:

Watched that whole video while I was in bed before I went to sleep.  Reminded me of back in the day. 

Ol Chuck was dealing it out. Muddy Waters did a great performance of MOJO. Edgar's three performances were also a good watch.

Rick Derringer killed it.?
