I remember when the big bands wouldn't appear on TV (diluted the mystique) and watching crappy shows like Don Kirshner's Rock Concert or Midnight Special in the (usually vain) hopes they might feature a video from one of the rock gods.

Couldn't believe the Stones would "stoop" to playing on TV. Of course the were attempting to jumpstart their careers against such acts as Blondie & The Talking Heads -- Punk/New Wave bands that had no such self-limiting rules.
