Raspberries: How many appearances on Kirshner and Midnight Special?

Would anyone happen to know how many appearances Raspberries made on either of these two late night music shows? If you've got dates that would be very helpful. Thanks.

 

Anyone?

 

I don't know.

Google?

 

I did a Google search and supposedly they were on The Midnight Special once, on May 4, 1973

They appeared on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on 4 occassions:
Jan 12. 1974
Feb 8, 1975
Feb 15, 1975
And Nov 11, 1975
That's just from a cursory Google search. Can't vouch completely for it but it's a start

 

Song's performed?

I have an old cassette that I got back in the days of the AOL Raspberries message board that contained a bunch of live stuff, including one of the Kirschner sets. Not sure specifically which date it was, but it had:

Go All The Way
I Can Remember
Drivin Around
I’m A Rocker

 

Can't tell you which was which, but on one of the shows they did: Driving Around, Go All the Way, Tonight, I Can Remember, I'm a ROcker, Last Dance.

On another (probably the latest one) they did Overnight Sensation, Go All the Way, Let's Pretend and Starting Over-- with the first line from the latter sung as :"Used to feel so uh-uh optimistic."

 

After some digging I found info from 2 of their Don Kirshner appearances...

Jan 12. 1974 ("Go All the Way," "Tonight," "I Can Remember," "Drivin' Around," "I'm a Rocker" and "Last Dance.")

Feb 15, 1975 ("Overnight Sensation," "Go All The Way," "Let's Pretend," "Starting Over," "All Through The Night" and "Play On.")

Also from their Midnight Special appearance...

May 4, 1973 ("I Wanna Be With You" & "Let's Pretend")

Still looking into the other 2 Don Kirshner appearances.

This as comprehensive list as I could find on the Don Kirshner episodes...
