This Midnight Hour was on the end of Rob Eaton's 2/14/70 Dat, which he got from Dick Latvala. It was labeled as the encore. Obviously, it's not from 2/14/70. You can tell by the mix that it is from 1968. Rob checked his notes and he said that he labeled his dat the way Dick listed it. I then compared the Midnight Hour to every version we have, and it didn't match any of them. One thing I did notice is that it is the 2nd longest known version of the song. I sent an copy of the song to David Lemieux who was unable to add any further info.
