1967 PERSONAL APPEARANCE: The Kingston Trio's closes their final three-week engagement at the 'hungry i' in San Francisco and enters retirement. The last songs of their final set were "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" and "Scotch And Soda."
It is an ironic coincidence that the Kingston Trio gave their last performance on the same day (Friday) that the Monterey Pop Festival, which introduce a whole new era of popular music, was beginning.
