The Steel Pier Show
 
From 1958 until 1978  THE STEEL PIER SHOW  was broadcast by WPVI TV 6 live from the CASINO THEATER, THE GOLDEN DOME BALL ROOM and other locations in Atlantic City.

Second only in popularity  to Philadelphia's AMERICAN BANDSTAND the show ran  summer seasons for 20 years and presented a fabulous array of performers from Tony Bennett to The Jackson Five.  Virtually every performer working in Atlantic City at the time payed a visit to the STEEL PIER set.
