This was the ONLY time (that I know of) that ABBA performed "Hey Hey Helen" so this programme is very special indeed.
The following songs were performed:
SOS
Hey Hey Helen
Waterloo
Rock Me
Mamma Mia
NB. Keep an eye out here - this company keep removing any Don Kirshner clips from YouTube. I wonder if an official DVD is coming out? I wish they'd hurry up! 1975 performances of "SOS", "Waterloo", "Rock Me" and "Mamma Mia" have all been removed from YouTube (although 1976 ones are still OK at the time of writing).
We may have an answer as to why Don Kirshner's Rock Concert has not been released on DVD. According to the website Historic Films, Don Kirshner sold all his masters to them company back in 2002. Historic Films licenses video footage out for any type of production. They operate as a stock video library/historical archive organization and have a treasure trove of stuff. The footage is made available for a fee to Film and Television Producers, Ad Agencies, Corporate Producers, Feature Film Producers and Documentary Filmmakers as stock footage. Don Kirshner's masters are allegedly in near pristine condition). So unless Historic Films agree to it, DVD releases of Rock Concert may never be released. However, the company also licences the Ed Sullivan Show and there are DVDs available for that so you never know.
Running order for the programme:
ABBA - SOS, Hey Hey Helen
Gary Right - Blind Feeling, Dream Weaver, Love is Alive, Are you Weepin'
Esther Phillips - One Night Affair, I Can Stand a Little Rain, What a
Difference a Day Makes
Atlanta Rhythym Section - Dog Days, Silent Treatment
