Music Video of the Day: The Show Must Go On by Three Dog Night (1975, directed by ????)


Three Dog Night was a band that was prominent in the days before music videos but fortunately, they left us with a wealth of live performances that were captured for television.  I don’t know what show this was filmed for, just that it’s from 1975.  For our purposes, the MVP of this video is the keyboardist who goes out of his way to bring some Halloween flavor to the proceedings.

Originally written and performed by Leo Sayer, this cover of The Show Must Go On was Three Dog Night’s final Top 10 hit in the United States.  The best part of the song, the intro, was severely shortened for the song’s radio edit but it still became a hit.

Enjoy!
