The success of "The Association" concert in the spring of 1967 led the Student Government Association to decide that big name band concerts should replace the traditional Homecoming dances. The rock and soul group "The Young Rascals" was scheduled for Homecoming 1967 but the chance to participate in a European tour left the band unable to fulfill its contract. Instead, students would just have to settle for a rock band known as "The Doors".
