Here's another fun one: the Buffalo Springfield live on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour doing their first and biggest hit, "For What It's Worth." Their bassist had been deported, so their road manager pretended to be playing bass, one of the many dramas associated with this short-lived but influential band. They even finish with their dignity intact, though the Smothers Brothers couldn't stop being "funny" long enough for them to play a short song.
Things were changing fast, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young would get a lot more respect.
