Marvin Gaye - The Midnight Special, Atlanta Stadium, Atlanta, GA, 9-6-1974

Here's an unreleased concert from the soul great Marvin Gaye, from 1974.

In 1974, Gaye went on tour for the first time since 1968. That resulted in the live album "Marvin Gaye Live!" which was released shortly before this concert. This comes from "The Midnight Special" TV show. I believe an entire episode was devoted just to this concert. Even so, I think only parts of this were shown, and the full version has only emerged as a bootleg in recent years. 

The original file was well over an hour long, but I cut it down. The reason for the cutting is that there were some extra parts added that weren't from the concert. The main ones were interview segments between Gaye and his parents. I separated those bits out and strung them together as the bonus track. It makes strange listening to hear Gaye talk with his father for some of it, in light of the fact that his father would end up murdering him in 1984 after Gaye tried to intervene in a fight between his parents. (His father's first degree murder change was later reduced to manslaughter after it emerged he had a brain tumor that may have affected his behavior.)

The set list between this concert and the one for "Marvin Gaye Live!" is very simila. Gaye, unfortunately, didn't change his set list very much. Even the new few tours would largely have the same set list as this one. But this has two extra songs not on the official live album: "Come Get to This" and "Keep Gettin' It On." And even removing those two songs from the count, the rest of the album is still several minutes longer than the official album, because some of these versions are longer. Also, the song order is somewhat different. 

By the way, "Keep Gettin' It On" has "[Edit]" because some of the interview talk overlapped some of the song. I got rid of the overlap with the use of the MVSEP audio editing program.

Tracks 8 through 11 are a medley of older hits. On the official live album, it's called the "Fossils Medley."

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is pretty good, but not great.

This album is 54 minutes long, not including the interview bonus track.
