I used to love to get in and watch his shows after some gigs.

Rest easy, Mr Kirshner!

Wow! That takes me back to my bedroom in the attic of my parents house!
Six pack of Maximus-Super and a pack of Winstons for less than $2 and a bag of Fritos.

Those were on Friday nights weren't they? Or Saturdays? Around 10:30 or so...
Simulcast on FM radio sometimes...

Lots of great bands! He'd always open up the show too.

Don Kirshner helped a lot of acts bolster their careers with his Rock Concert shows. I particularly remember the one with Mott The Hoople-definitely one of the classic episodes.

Don started the Archies because cartoon characters didn't demand creative control or have him removed as musical director as the Monkees did.

I used to rush home at midnight from my 2nd shift job to catch the rest of Rock Concert.
Thanks, Don.
