Jerry Garcia meets Hugh Hefner

In 1969, Hugh Hefner hosted a TV show called Playboy After Dark (a set of highlights was recently released on DVD), and at one point, Hef invited the Grateful Dead to appear. I'm not much of a Deadhead, but I enjoyed seeing this young incarnation of Jerry Garcia hold his own in the cocktail party vibe that Hef embodied.

It was pleasant to see that the guy talking with Jerry at the beginning was in fact quite acquainted with the band and the hippie culture. And beautiful music... although "St. Stephen" could in fact have been longer... ;)
