1971 FBI Memo Concerning an Episode of Laugh-In
From a recently declassified FBI memo concerning a March 8, 1971, episode of Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In, a television show broadcast by NBC. At director J. Edgar Hoover’s request, a recording of the show was filed in the FBI’s Crime Research Section. Hoover’s Counter Intelligence Program, designed to “disrupt” groups and “neutralize” individuals deemed to be threats to domestic security, conducted more than 2,000 operations between 1956 and 1971, when it was officially discontinued after being exposed in the press. Originally from Harper’s Magazine, March 2006.

An early vid of Zep with Jimmy Page before he started playing his signature Les Paul. It’s so refreshing to see them in footage that doesn’t come from The Song Remains the Same.
