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…

In our never-ending quest to dig up some great bands that cost less than a corned beef sandwich at Katz’s Deli, we bring you another round of Blips. Blips highlights some great bands that are largely still in their larvae stage, but will soon morph into their beautiful butterfly. In this edition, we have some really cool new music, so take a sec, poke around their various websites, and see what you think of these three under the radar musical groups…
Hoots & Hellmouth
Generally, one would look somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line for spirited gospel-infused Americana, but contrary to conventional wisdom it’s the City Of Brotherly Love that the roots-revival act Hoots & Hellmouth calls home. The band combines its plaintive lyrics with high and lonesome bluegrass harmonies, fire and brimstone playing and folkie-acoustic ballads that will make it almost impossible to keep your feet from stomping along.

Head to Billboard.com to read Trey, Mike & Page’s thoughts on the Bruce Springsteen sit-in this past Sunday night at the Bonnaroo Festival.
Phish will visit Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, a city with under 2,000 residents, tonight to play a venue – now called Post Gazette Pavilion – that has seen more than its share of bust outs and stellar performances over the years. There seems to be something about those pine trees at the back of the lawn that makes Phish want to deliver something special at this shed.
Having already pulled out Destiny Unbound and Curtis Loew at Fenway Park, When the Cactus is in Bloom in Asheville and Highway to Hell and oh yeah, Bruce Springsteen at Bonnaroo, one has to assume that something rare or new altogether will find a spot in the setlist tonight.
Phish’s first show at the then-Star Lake Amphitheatre was on 8/13/97 and they wasted no time in giving fans something rare with the only performance to date of Elton John’s Amoreena. That show also featured the third-ever Izabella, the fifth-ever Crosseyed and Painless and one of the funkiest Gumbos ever played.
