Notes
  • The shows were originally supposed to be a the Kaleidoscope on Vine Street move at the last minute to the Embassy Ballroom in the Ambassador Hotel.
  • Corry thinks it might have been a record release party on the 17th as well, but LIA notes there is really no evidence.

  • Large demonstrations are held against the Vietnam War in New York City and San Francisco. The march, organized by the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, from Central Park to the United Nations drew hundreds of thousands of people, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Harry Belafonte, James Bevel, and Dr. Benjamin Spock, who marched and spoke at the event. A simultaneous march in San Francisco was attended by Coretta Scott King.
