If you were a teenager during the 70s his Rock Concerts were your MTV.

O wow, this is sad news.

Just the other day, someone mentioned him in reference to folks (here, I think) not knowing who he was...

We remember you well, Don.  RIP.

Good night, DON KIRSHNER, the baby boomers appreciate you.

And so do we middle of the road 40-somethings appreciate Mr. Kirshner too!   I remember this show somewhat well as a pre-teen in the early 70's as my mom watched it a lot. 

At that time I was unfamiliar with some of the music the bands had, but the names were very fresh in my mind at the time as they later became household words in the fields of rock, hard, rock, and metal (in the case of Kiss and Montrose, to name a few.)

Kirshner also had something to do with The Monkees as well.
