Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters created the Acid Tests, multimedia events that combined live music, projections, and psychedelic culture into total artistic experiences. The Grateful Dead performed at Acid Tests, and these performances represent the birth of psychedelic music in its specific San Francisco context.

This 2-CD collection brings together performances from Acid Test events, capturing the earliest performances of what would become the Grateful Dead and documenting the cultural moment from which psychedelic rock emerged.
