THE GNATS - Live in Concert


YouTube user comment: "My favorite clip from the best episode of one of the best tv shows, "Don't Bug The Mosquitoes"

Although this episode originally aired in late 1965, before Jefferson airplane became "huge" and Iron Butterfly was even formed, the professor bears a striking resemblance to Doug Ingle of Iron Butterfly, Mr. Howell looks like Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane, and Gilligan looks like Roger McGuinn of The Byrds.

But The Skipper is puzzling. I guess he looks a little like an old David Crosby with a derby hat."
