Yup, vintage footage at this point.

I never in my life thought that I'd live to see the day that when I refer to something as "vintage", that it would be applicable to a period within my own life, lol!

I was in high school when I saw these.  They were short lived, I maybe saw 6 episodes.  But then again, our town didn't get cable until early 1983, so when I saw Rock School, it was on the motorized antenna on from the roof.

I remember Schoolhouse Rock. Do I win the old fart contest?

Do I win the old fart contest?

Dunno. I do know there are a few of us who've seen the original broadcast of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, and were eventually old enough to stay up late enough to watch The Midnight Special and Don Kirschner's In Concert and Don Kirschner's Rock Concert.  Midnight Special was the best. In Concert and Rock Concert were ok, but you had to put up with Don Kirschner.

wow - I had never seen this before.

I remember watching Don Kirschner's quite a bit.  REO Speedwagon hit his show a lot.

1980's, that's why I never heard of it. Too busy working and trying to start a family!

Like Cagey, I watched the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I was also at the Garden for Jagger's birthday concert in '72 and Pink Floyd's NY opening night of The Wall at the Coliseum.

Damn, I feel old! I should start another build to make myself feel better..........

I just heard some band that came along after I quit caring about new music is doing their 20 year reunion tour. That makes me feel really old.

Err, that was Cagey, not me. I did see the Beatles on Sullivan, but it was on YouTube, not television...

Sorry kid, my mistake. Correction noted and made.

I can't see that video in the UK, is that British series?

I used to love that, I'm sure it went on Saturday or Sunday at lunch time in the UK, looking at it now I can't get over how young that bass player looks!
