Episodes with the Grateful Dead, Steppenwolf, Canned Heat, and more are on Youtube.
BTW, I admit to loving the Cowsills!

(42,782 posts)it was not a national network show. I don't know how many stations offered it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's distribution was pretty limited.

(41,999 posts)It always made me chuckle that the Playboy Club in NO went bust. Too much competition.

(7,432 posts)More suave than the later version, it took the form of a cocktail party with live music. Considered sophisticated and edgy for the time, it featured live jazz and top entertainers in a relaxed setting.
Here's one with Ella Fitzgerald and Lenny Bruce that seems straight out of an episode of "Mad Men."
