Go to TV.com (formerly TV Tome)

They have an archive of the Midnight Special shows.
And until the DVD comes out, go to the Museum of Television and Radio in LA 
or NY.  They have many (all?) of the shows ready for instant viewing.

They also have some other great rock performances.  I don't think they have 
Don Kirshner, but I guarantee you will find plenty to keep you entertained.
