The real story is worse.
NBC and the other stations used to reuse the videotapes for all the early TV shows to save money. They are gone.
Also, Buffalo Bob had a second career doing stand-up marijuana comedy to college audiences. All mention scrubbed from the Net.
Everything vanishes. And we thought the burning of the library at Alexandria was bad.
Not -all- mention:
In 1970 and 1971, he embarked on a live tour of college campuses. The shows, organized by producer Burt DuBrow, mixed nostalgia with more contemporary humor, such as Buffalo Bob finding a package of Zig Zags (rolling paper) allegedly belonging to Clarabelle. One show, on April 4, 1971, was recorded and released as an LP, on the label "Project 3 Total Sound Stereo". It was titled, "Buffalo Bob Smith Live at Bill Graham's Fillmore East".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bob
