I know its dated (August 19, 1972 I was 12) however there is something about their voices that are timeless. Beautiful song and a sweet Guild 12 string. Enjoy

Very cool. I see this particular show was broadcast when I was in Boot Camp.

I like the short speech she did before the song too.

Is that one of his F-612's?

Y'know, it looks big enough, but, I'm not sure; it's hard to tell. It could be an early F-512. It's not high-def enough to see the expected herringbone trim. What a magnificent axe anyway. Sounds just like the one he played on the "Bells of Rhymney" recording I always listen to. Mama Cass and JD, that's a great combination.

Yes, this exact one one, you see the unique pattern on the pickguard clearly in the video.

His other F-612 had serial number OD-101, with the fancy vine inlays.

I just watched this earlier this week. I wanted to see and hear a F-612 played by somebody who could do it justice. Very cool. I always loved his music and feel he was under rated and under appreciated for both his guitar playing, song writing and vocals. Wish he was still with us.

Isn't the guitarist in the background also playing a Guild?
