BBC In ConcertSeason 19731973 · 16 episodesEpisodes1The DublinersNot so much a folk group - more a 'happening'. The Dubliners offer a selection which includes Shoals of Herring and Whiskey in the Jar.2John Denverwith Richard Kniss (bass), Mike Taylor (guitar). John Denver, who got his big break when he replaced the leader of the Chad Mitchell Trio in 1965, sings the songs he's written and made famous as a solo artist - including 'Leaving on a jet plane' and last year's American No 1, 'Country Roads.'3Bonnie KolocSome folk, blues and jazz from the American singer/composer with songs such as 'Black Water' and 'Hey Jude.'4The Mahavishnu OrchestraA 30 minute abridged version of the 1972 Sounds for Saturday broadcast, the Mahavishnu Orchestra performs instrumental pieces from their debut album "The Inner Mounting Flame".

His work has been recorded by the likes of Carly Simon, Roberta Flack and Kris Kristofferson - who helped his early career - and he's been described as in the tradition of 'Brando, Dean and Dylan.'7Buddy Rich and his OrchestraSaxophones Pat Labarbera, Brian Grivna, Jimmy Mosher, Don Englert, Joe Calo Trombones Bruce Paulson, Tony Dimaggio, John Heimkreiter Trumpets Lin Biviano, Jeff Stout, Wayne Naus, John Deflon Piano Robert Dogan Bass Paul Kondziela The man some say is the greatest drum technician alive drives his orchestra through their paces, including jazz standards by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Thelonious Monk. (Buddy Rich appears by arrangement with Harold Davison)8Don McLeanDon McLean served his song-writing apprenticeship during the time he spent on veteran folk-singer Pete Seeger's wind-powered anti-pollution cruise round the Eastern waterways of the USA. His first LP was ignored until the mysterious hit 'American Pie' forced his work onto a wider public. Tonight's programme includes Don's 'Pie' and his homage to Van Gogh, 'Vincent.'9The KinksThe Kinks Kronikle brought up to date, from the raucous 'You Really Got Me' to the brass band revival of 'The Village Green Preservation Society.'

Included tonight is the song that took them to No 1 in the USA, 'Take it easy.'
