My memory may be funky, but I recall this happening around the time the movement for women and the priesthood was at its peak.

Interestingly, while trying to search for proof of my memory, I instead stumbled on this conference record from 1977:

Voice from the gallery: President Tanner? President Tanner?

President Tanner: Yes?

Voice from the gallery: Did you note my negative vote?

President Tanner: No. Let me see it.

Voice from the gallery: Up here.

President Tanner: Oh, up there. I’m sorry, I couldn’t see up in that gallery. We’ll ask you to see Elder Hinckley immediately after this meeting
