Joel Larson (drummer, The Grass Roots] : We were on the very first episode televised in colour. The cameras were temperature-sensitive and we filmed under these extremely hot lights for a real long time – but it was still exciting. We played Eve Of Destruction, which was originally recorded by Barry McGuire. That song was, like, the number one hit single of 1965, so everybody knew it.
After filming the show, I went to get a cab to go back to the hotel and I ran into Ed Sullivan who asked me where I was going. I told him I was headed back to the hotel and he offered me a ride in his limo. So he called his limo up and I rode ten blocks across town with him. Ed Sullivan was a nice guy.
