AD pointed me to this clip of the Dead on Playboy’s After Dark, back in 69. It’s great to see Jerry in this setting; not because of the absurdity of Hef’s “serious” questioning about the death of the hippie scene, but how much of a sense of humor Jerry seems to have with all of it.

Things I noticed and subsequently enjoyed:

• Phil’s coke-bottle glasses
• Bobby’s grin towards the end of “Mountains Of The Moon”
• Haight-Ashbury is just a street
• Many of today’s popular folkies- mainly Devendra and Vetiver, remind me so much of Garcia during the aforementioned “Mountains.”
