{{disambiguation}}
One last appearance under the old name came in Buffalo, NY in [[1967]] when they opened for [[Frank Zappa]] and the [[Mothers of Invention]]. They did a short set as Tom and Jerry with only their old numbers. This was followed by the usual chaotic Mothers show. Then they came back out for an encore, still in the guise of Tom and Jerry, and sang "Sounds of Silence" to a suddenly comprehending audience.
