In 1972, The first show of Don Kirshnerʹs Rock Concert TV series “In Concert” premiered on ABC-TV. Among the attractions were the Allman Brothers Band, Chuck Berry, Blood Sweat and Tears, Alice Cooper, Seals and Crofts, and Poco. Robert W. Morgan (of KHJ, Los Angeles) was the offstage announcer for the show that was staged before a live audience. “In Concert” was the creation of the guy who dreamed up the fictitious group, “The Archies” and brought fame to “The Monkees”: rock promoter, Don Kirshner. ABC-TV hired him late in 1972 as impresario for the short-lived “In Concert” series on ABC Wide World of Entertainment to begin running the next year, but Kirshner, fed up with the ABC executives not knowing the difference between the Allman Brothers and the Osmond Brothers, left to start his own syndicated version in the fall of 1973. Some FM radio stations simulcasted the broadcast in stereo since broadcast television at the time had sound in only mono.
