I wanted desperately to watch but my parents both said no. As it happened it was their card game night with the neighbors. I persisted, right up 'til show—time and they gave in, however, theirs were harsh terms.

I was told to sit at the end of the couch, maybe two feet away from the 1966 TV screen. Black & white per family budget. AND to turn the sound way way down. Between the card players' chatter and the low low volume I'm not sure I hardly heard anything. Nevertheless I saw the performance and I have to say I appreciate the video on youtube moreso. Now the volume can go up as loud as my headphones will stand for!
