1969 November 1st: Toledo or Witchita ?

Recently James Townsend commented on the 1969-page that according to the liner notes of  ‘Simon & Garfunkel / Live 1969’ they played in Toledo on November 1st of the same year.

I have an ad from a newspaper for the November 1st concert in Witchita:

S&G 19691101

And allthough Columbia Legacy states that it was in Toledo (OH) where they recorded the live-version of ‘Old Friends / Bookends’ so far I have never seen an ad for that show.  But I do have it listed in the 1968 section…..Another mystery? Not really. It was discussed also here where a reader mentioned that he went to the November 1st show, on a friday, in Toledo. There seems to have been a review in the Toledo Blade on November 6 of that show.
