Don takes a dive
Don walked/fell off the stage during the band's performance at the Mt Tamalpais Fantasy Fair and Mountain Music Festival in 1967. This was supposed to have been a warm up for an appearance at the Monterey Festival but Don's acid induced dive caused Ry Cooder to quit the band and their big opportunity to make a name for themselves was missed.
Now, amazingly, some hitherto unknown photographs of the band's (short) appearance have surfaced on YouTube. Sadly, Don's dive isn't captured in any of the shots, but they're worth a look anyway.

(Thanks to Louis for the heads up on this.)
