ahhhhh, finally something I've seen! Don Kirschner, Don Kirschner's Rock Concert.

I accepted The Midnight Special and Wolfman Jack since, coincidentally, that show ended in 1981 and had a host with a distinctive voice. It wasn't syndicated, but that's too small an issue.

This was harder than I anticipated, so please don't be scared away!
