It’s no secret that Acid Test material is feverishly sought after by collectors due to it's incredible historical importance. The sky high values and extreme rarity has led to many fakes being introduced into the marketplace making independent third party authentication an absolute must for all but the most seasoned and knowledgeable experts.

 

We are pleased to offer this spectacular Museum Quality specimen which is being offered for the first time in decades after residing in the collection of a well known advanced collector who only sought "the best of the best".

 

The Grateful Dead performed at this event along with Janis Joplin and Big Brother and The Holding Company and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Dead historians agree this was an epic 3 day event which is CLEARLY denoted as an Acid Test on the reverse (see photo) was one of the pinnacle moments in early Dead concert history. So much so that The Grateful Dead themselves released this concert as a special bonus to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first album. In addition these shows were released on vinyl by The Dead for Record Store Day.

 

Here lies an opportunity for the collector that is ready willing and able to act when special opportunities present themselves. The new owner of this incredible piece of history will gain much satisfaction by acquiring a specimen of incredible rarity quality and historical importance. It is sure to become the highlight of any collection in which it resides. It will also prove to be even more rewarding to own in the future as the market for certified concert material expands!
