Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
 was an American television music
 variety show that ran during the 1970s 
and early 1980s,
 created and produced by 
Don Kirshner. 
It was syndicated to 
television stations,
 initially through 
Viacom Enterprises
and later through Syndicast
It premiered on September 27, 1973, 
with a performance by
 The Rolling Stones 
and 
The Doobie Brothers; 
its last episode was in 1981.

Kirshner had been
 executive producer 
and
 "creative consultant" 
on 
ABC's In Concert series, 
which debuted with two shows
 in November and December 1972,
 in the 11:30 p.m. time slot 
usually held by
 The Dick Cavett Show
The programs featured
 performances by 
Alice Cooper; 
Curtis Mayfield; 
Seals & Crofts; 
Bo Diddley; 
The Allman Brothers Band; 
Chuck Berry; 
Blood, Sweat & Tears; 
Poco; 
The Steve Miller Band;
 and 
Joe Walsh. 
Their rating more than doubled
 the average rating of 
The Dick Cavett Show 
and even topped NBC's 
The Tonight Show Starring 
Johnny Carson
 in some markets, 
and among viewers 
under the age of 35.

In Concert 
became a bi-weekly series
 in January 1973.
 "Right now, we have more artists
 than we know what to do with,"
 Kirshner's music director
Wally Gold told
 The Washington Post 
late in 1972. 
"We pay them scale to appear, 
which is way below
 what they usually get 
for a concert, 
but they know that the publicity
 is well worth it. 
So everyone wants to be on. 
We're getting hundreds of calls.
 At first, 
we had to beg
 the artists to appear.
Now they're begging us."
