Track 0124: SATURDAY NIGHT (McKay/White/Bailey) 3:35 (ERECTION) (25th January 1977)
Musicians: John Hodgson – synthesizer, electric organ, backing vocals, Eddie Hall – bass guitar, backing vocals, Ray Radford – guitar, Jed Duffy – drums, backing vocals, Yusef Nimar – congas, percussion, Dave Hughes – lead vocals, Steve White – trumpet, Colin Hudson – saxophone
Recorded: Tiffany's Night Club, Middlesbrough (upstairs rehearsal space) mono cassette
There was a whole cassette of us playing this song over and again but sadly the tape snapped during the restoration process and those versions were lost, except for one take that had been copied onto another tape, this is that version.
A big hit for Earth Wind & Fire in 1976, we play it slightly faster, and I chip in with synth lines to accentuate the brass parts, and also some funky wah-wah organ in the verses.
