Anyone know the source of this John Byner/Phil Ochs clip?

...IMDb lists a John Byner Comedy Hour (apparently a busted pilot for a series) that ran on 1 August 1972, which would be a couple of years after Ochs released the song heard here, but would there have been another Byner-related program that this could have been a part of?...

The John Byner Comedy Hour was a Summer Replacement series for the Sonny and Cher Show during the summer of 1972. It was more of the regular type of Variety shows than this was. I believe this clip came from a syndicated show that John Byner host a few years earlier called "Something Else".

In the early 60s, Phil Ochs was one of the better known folk singers in the Greenwich Village scene that brought us Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, among others. In the late 60s, Ochs appeared at many anti-war protests and rallies. Two of his more famous songs were I Ain't Marching Anymore, and Outside of a Small Circle of Friends.

He was brilliant. Sadly, he was bi-polar,suffered from alcoholism, and committed suicide in 1976.

...and he commited that suicide because the bi-polar condition wasn't treated at all -- in the '70s, damned few people knew what it was to begin with -- leading to the alcoholism :'( ...
