Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven, 1976

Posted by http://www.nostalgoteket.se A slice of disco history. From the movie Saturdauy night fever, this version comes from a program called midnight special apparently.. On the original recording, Walter Murphy played all the instrumnets himself.

you know its funny I remember as a kid in the 80s hating the whole 70s sound. But as I grew older I started wishing for the old school sound more then ever.

Yes, I'll have one. Straight no chaser, on the rocks, and, if you would please, include the little umbrella.

Is it me...or did Doc from the Love Boat get a day of to play the drums? Sorry, but the drummer does look exactly like him.

@johnkyureekuzichu Television audiences on old TV shows were alway reserved. I think the producers told them to hold the applause to the end because they were taping and didn't want any disruptions that would ruin the recording. Studio audiences are a little more rowdy today, but they still have to keep a lid on in or they may have to re-shoot or edit the whole thing.
