Yes, this is Jerry Garcia in a poncho playing guitar on a Hugh Hefner TV show from the 60s. There are various stories about this gig. One is that the boys dosed the other guests including Hugh with LSD. The other is that the electronic equipment and the speakers on the stage behind the band are totally fake - they are props. I am not even sure if they are really performing this tune or lip synching it. Nonetheless, I find this stuff wicked interesting because it gives us a glimpse of american TV from the 60s as well as rare video coverage of a much younger Jerry Garcia.
Shakedown Stream is a weekly Grateful Dead radio/podcast show hosted by Jer Bear. It is 4 to 5 hours in length. The first hour is a mix of old, rare, new, favorite and interesting songs of the Grateful Dead. Then Jer Bear plays a show - in its' entirety - selected from their 30 years run from 1965-1995. Afterwards, some more chestnuts may be played to help listeners ease on out of the Stream.
