July 13th 1967. Audio-only. This the infamous performance of this song from the Tonight Show where guest host Bob Newhart infamously remarked "I think I hear them tuning up now" (not heard on the tape) to which David Crosby retorted "we tune because we care."
We are thankful that some Byrdmaniax had a tape recorder going that night.
This is the only surviving recording we assume, as the masters of this episode and the majority of the Tonight Show episodes of this era no longer exist. This recording is a precious document indeed.
