A matter of trivia-but nevertheless important in BB history is precisely when the BBs stopped wearing stripes and started wearing their "hipper" white suits.  Photos I possess show the group dressed in striped shirts on Oct 7 1967 in Cleveland.  The next concert photo I have is of them at Everett Community College on Feb 1 1968-where they are arrayed in their white suits.  It's quite possible that the Oct 8 1967 show in Chicago was the last BB show in stripes, but they may have worn them on their Thanksgiving tour with Buffalo Springfield.  Did anyone attend any of their Nov 1967 shows? I have no photos of these. I do have a review of the DC show-but it doesn't mention their attire.  Has anyone ever seen the footage of them at the UN benefit in Paris in Dec 67? If so were they in white for that?

I saw them, sans Brian, in their full stripe shirt glory in Johnstown, Pa. This was Sunday April 16th 1967. Saw them again May 4th, 1968 at the Spectrum (Phila)-the striped shirts were history-I believe  they were in their white suits.
