Live music and network television haven’t exactly mixed very well over the years. You can only find bands playing on late night and even then it’s only for a song or two. ABC’s In Concert series was the rare network television program that actually showed most of a rock band’s performance in concert.

The series debuted in 1972 by airing 90 minute shows – produced by impresario Don Kirchner – and ran until 1974. ABC revived the series in 1991 and it ran until 1998. Let’s take a B List look at ten fantastic videos from ABC In Concert that have been posted on YouTube…
