Friday evening music: Ramones live on Kirshner's Rock Concert, 1977 -

[old mark]

on my birthday!...Kirshner has no idea who they are, and the many in the audience seem a bit...stunned after the show, which ends with one of my favorites, (I Wanna) Shock Treatment... very good sound, and a great performance, 5 or 6 songs in all...

Hope all you old musicians like this one - Johnny was just great.

Enjoy.

1. I remember seeing that. I also remember seeing The New York Dolls...

on Rock Concert a few years earlier. Of course, Monday morning my classmates were raving about fucking Uriah Heep's performance on the same episode. They didn't get the Dolls. Their loss.

2. Ahem.

That's Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. :rofl:

3. I used to love Don's introductions...

which were always a vartation on
"My good friend Murray Horowitz at SoandSo Records, recently told me about..."

4. True.

I always loved Paul Shaffer's impression of him on SNL when they did DK Rock Concert skits. It was hard to tell the difference from the original. :rofl:

5. Don's introduction to this is a hoot all by itself....nt
