Many/most of us grew up watching *Don Kirshner* stiffly introduce bands 
on *Rock Concert*, the musical crapshoot that could give us The Rolling 
Stones live and then follow it up with Helen Reddy (hey, just like AM 
Radio!). Well, Don is now /literally /stiff, but you can't knock his 
accomplishments.

I drop this note in case you aren't a daily blog visitor, because 
there's a clip of Joe Walsh absolutely /torching /a medley from 
*Barnstorm *(one of my favorite albums and the subject of one of my 
first blogs 
<http://drbristol.wordpress.com/2009/01/13/blast-from-the-past-joe-walsh-barnstorm/>) 
backed by Don Felder, Willie Weeks and (I believe) Jay Ferguson, among 
other 70s hotshots. I always thought Walsh was far better known for his 
stoner persona and a couple of mammoth hits than for this amazing album, 
and this clip shows why that's a huge oversight.
