This was Joni Mitchell's national television debut. Interestingly, she was invited to play Woodstock that same weekend. However, when her manager saw how bad the traffic was he told her to skip the festival. The scenes of the festival and the stories her then boyfriend Graham Nash told her inspired her to write the song "Woodstock", which she not only recorded but it also became a hit for both Crosby Stills Nash & Young as well as the group Matthews Southern Comfort
During Jefferson Airplane's performance, one of the songs the group performed was "We Can Be Together". The song contained the "F" word including the line "Up against the wall mother*****r" which went out live on national television.
Jimi Hendrix was scheduled to appear in this show, but was unable to do so as the show's afternoon taping occurred only a few hours after he had performed at the Woodstock festival.
