GA Russell Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Don Kirshner died yesterday of heart failure. I can't say that I was a fan of much of his product, but there's no denying how popular his people were. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Kirshner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I would watch his Don Kirshner Rock Concerts on I beieve NBC every week as a young kid. RIP Don. That was on ABC. It was Midnight Special that was on NBC. The ABC shows were really good at first. I saw Miles on there, Return To Forever, Roy Wood & Wizzard, Roy Buchannan, all kinds of stuff. Then it went from being actual live concerts to being a staged presentation specifically for the show, and then it really started to really suck. Really. But it was good while it was good.

AmirBagachelles Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I always assumed that the SNL music segments were good and authentic because the producers wanted something akin to Rock Concert. I remember the bit that Shaffer did about DK, really funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
