thislovintime: Peter Tork, 1968. The third photo accompanied the first of the following excerpts; the other photos are most likely also from Peter’s solo appearance at the Troubadour. Photos 1 & 2 by Nurit Wilde (photo 2 is a screenshot from Laurel Canyon: A Place In Time); photo 3 courtesy of Disc and Music Echo.“[At the Troubadour] at about 11.30 Peter Tork himself appeared. He was a charming breath of fresh air and assurance. He started out with ‘Lady Madonna’ (he told us they wouldn’t let him do it in the movie) and then sang an old Dylan song, his brothers’ song ‘Alvin the Alligator’ (which isn’t on their new LP, much to Peter’s chagrin), picked a banjo and whistled, sang one of his new songs, ‘Lady’s Baby,’ and was called back for an encore.‘I’d like to do a real old folk song,’ he said, ‘which was written way back when folk songs were… real and old…’ He was delightful and looked great.” - Judy Sims, Disc and Music Echo, May 18, 1968“At the Troubadour […], Peter Tork strolled in, banjo on his knee. Later, in-between ‘Alvin’ and a great banjo finger-picker, Peter yelled a hello to Mike Nesmith, who was standing in the upstairs darkness and the two fell into a hilarious patter routine. Peter climbed out long enough to display great talent, great warmth, great humor and, in general, a great personality. Mike did the same when, later, I asked him how the album was coming. ‘Album? Oh, Uh huh. Nice weather, yes? Album’s gonna be good. How are you. Hi, Pete, how’s the album?’” - Ginni Ganahal, TeenSet Magazine, February 1968 -- source link
