By the time they appeared on 'Don Kirshner's Rock Concert' in November, they were promoting their sophomore release, 'In Color', which showcased their knack for catchy hooks and vibrant sound. The live performance captured in this video features energetic renditions of tracks like 'Hello There' and 'Elo Kiddies', marking a thrilling moment in their history.
