I have seen a few of these over the years but never one that was still sealed and in immaculate NM condition!
These recordings were made during the Acid Tests and are mostly comprised of zaniness with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters and The Grateful Dead. It is fairly well recorded and is a great time capsule of psychedia history. There are not really any songs per se on this record, just some loose jams amongst the wackinesss. Each side starts with a brief recollection of that time by Jerry Garcia.
Notes San Franciso State College October 1st - 2nd, 1966.
The Acid Test recording is interspersed with short interview segments with Ken Kesey and Jerry Garcia taken from a 1980 Tomorrow Show.
