Playboy After Dark


This was an hour-long show that ran on network TV (!) from July 1968 to May 1970. The ever hip and debonair Hef surrounded himself with a bunch of attractive young pseudo-sophisticates, salted each week with a variety of personalities ranging from Milton Berle to Mort Sahl, Sid Caesar to Lenny Bruce, Roman Polanski (and Sharon Tate) to Paul Mazursky. There was also some amazing music.


Here's a description of the show by Chris Rywalt (http://www.teevee.org/archive/2000/05/17/)

"The camera moved lazily across a room where a party was going on. A party unlike any party I had ever seen, on film or otherwise. People chatted in small groups. Everyone had a drink in their hand. Blacks and whites mingled freely. Almost everyone was smoking. Quiet jazz filled the room. Everyone was dressed stylishly and with care. Everyone looked attractive in a comfortable way. No one looked like a model -- the guests all just looked like handsome, pleasant people. The light was soft, yellowish, and diffuse.


"The camera wandered past the guests, stopping here and there and catching fragments of their conversation. The camera rolled along very slowly. Amazingly slowly. [snip]


"Later in the show, the camera panned along and encountered a band. They were playing jazz. Gradually, as the camera didn't move, it became apparent that this was a featured band, performing for the show.


"And all of After Dark was like this. Long, languorous camera shots, lingering on details, while an incredibly civilized party went on, with everyone drinking and smoking and grooving to the music. And occasionally one of the guests would turn out to be someone with a talent, who would graciously agree to share some of it with us."


No idea who compiled this collection but it looks and sounds great. Going strictly from memory there was:


Deep Purple, looking like extras from "Spinal Tap"

Iron Butterfly, lip-synching "In A Gadda Da Vida"

Taj Mahal, with Jesse Ed Davis on guitar

Linda Ronstatdt

The Byrds, looking like Brit mod-rockers, very weird

The Dead, who supposedly dosed the crowd

BB King

Ike & Tina Turner

Canned Heat

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Steppenwolf, surprisingly good, doing politically charged stuff that would be totally relevant today

Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, but way too abbreviated

Country Joe & the Fish


There's more, but you'll have to download it to find out because my little grey cells are too badly bruised at the moment.
