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."
