DVD Review: And Playboy's Penthouse
Summary: 4 Stars
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."
I lay no claim to "a first-rate intelligence," but I do subscribe to this F. Scott Fitzgerald dictum about a functioning mind. And so I can call myself a feminist and still think Playboy After Dark is a delicious pop culture artifact.
This three-disc set (Volume Two) begins in the lounge-era cool of the very early sixties and winds up in "groovy" territory at the end of the decade. Highlights (for me): Disc 1 = Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie performing with Joe Williams and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Pete Seeger leading a living room sing-along, close-up magic tricks, Cal Tjader; Disc 2 = Johnny Mathis, The Modern Jazz Quartet, George Carlin, Don Adams, Brenton Wood ("Just give me some kind of sign, girl..."), and the hair-do on the bass player in the group Hef introduces as "The" Deep Purple; Disc 3 = fewer delights and some actual irritations, though Sid Caesar gives one of his "multilingual" performances, and Jerry Garcia wears a gigantic poncho that Deadheads may appreciate in any glimpses that aren't obscured by some ill-considered "psychedelic" camera effects.
Included on Disc 1 is a worshipful short documentary about Hefner, circa 1963, showing us that one of the secrets of his success is an ability to look into the camera with a straight face and declare himself "a genius."
DVD Review: Wow, this is totally groovy
Summary: 4 Stars
I just viewed this, the people dancing and the unconventional camera work along with the charming vintage feel. It's a keeper.DVD Review: Unbelievable Look at 60's Pop Culture...Cool
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got volume two (after loving volume one) and its even better than the first! The Grateful Dead and Deep Purple really take you back to that "moment in time". I also particularly like that they have stuff from "[...] Penthouse"-- Tony Bennett, Joe Williams, and Count Basie are outstanding!
I know that there are tons of episodes out there, so please keep 'em coming, they're terriffic!
DVD Review: Worth it for the Grateful Dead & Deep Purple footage
Summary: 4 Stars
Having seen the Grateful Dead & Deep Purple footage on bootlegs this should really be a treat. This is the "Mark 1" lineup of Deep Purple (pre-"Smoke on the Water")and I believe they do one instrumental and possibly "Hush". Ritchie Blackmore is still using his red Gibson ES-335 guitar, he hadn't switched to the Strat just yet. The Dead are in full regalia here doing an electric "St. Stephen" & acoustic "Mountans of the Moon", Garcia even raps with Hef. Can't wait to see this, the music, not just the girls! Further volumes please, Hef! I know there's a vintage Byrds performance of "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere/This Wheel's on Fire" from a 1967-68 show somewhere in your archives.
