ABC In Concert was a television program which premiered on September 21, 1972, as part of ABC network's Friday night Wide World of Entertainment programming. Alice Cooper appeared on that first episode. Created by Don Kirshner, the show was a 90 minute showcase for bands of the era to be filmed "in concert" and broadcast on ABC. By the mid-70s, Don Kirshner moved on to create the syndicated series "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert," and Dick Clark took over "In Concert."

The series was revived in 1991, featuring a performance by David Bowie, but the revival series wasn't as well-received, and it eventually faded from the screen by 1998.^{[citation needed]}
