Can you pass the acid test?
Presented for historical purposes only, 42 years after the fist acid test.
A word of warning these shows are a little weird and some sound quality is a little raw, but fun to listen to.
Presented on both DVD in shn format and on CD in wav format

just fyi . . .
Not trying to dampen your enthusiasm beatle_head42, but I'm in Middle America and Longrifle is in Western Canada, so this leg of the journey might be a little longer than others. It takes 5-7 days for vines to get from here to the East Coast of the U.S., so I bet it's more like 7-10 days to get to Western Canada. Longrifle may have not even received it yet. Hang in there . . .

Got it
Very interesting but take in small doses, as the author says. It also takes a little concentration to figure out whats going on. Cool, thou. thx, peace, out tomorrow 08/25 to bealte_head42. I'm smiling from his happiness and yes, as ohyeah said, it'll take approx 10 days to get there, so hang in there, man. party on, Longrifle

Address....and apologies.
Hey all, sorry I've been gone so long. College started up, and I was overwhelmed. I don't seem to have Flying_Monkey's address in my inbox. But as soon as that's remedied, it'll be out and circulating once more!

WARLOCKS & THE ACID TESTS
Recently, a whole collection of previous unseen and extremely rare Acid Test posters and handbills has been discovered, including a couple pieces of original artwork by Jerry Garcia. Included in this collection was an original hand-colored handbill for the Palo Alto Big Beat Acid Test, as well as a Poster for Mother McCree's at the Tangent in 1964, a Poster for the Warlocks first paid gig at Magoo's on May 5, 1965, a poster for the Warlocks fourth performance at Frenchy's on June 18, 1965, Phil Lesh's first gig. A set of tickets for the In Room in Belmont on Sept. 1, 1965 and a poster for the first Acid Test at the Spread in Santa Cruz on Nov. 27, 1965 as well as a Fillmore Acid Test handbill and a handbill for Carthay studios in Los Angeles on March 19, 1966. It also appears that Jerry Garcia designed several of these items himself.The site that features all of this and more is here: http://www.postertrip.com/public/department37.cfm
There are 33 pages altogether, which can be accessed from the main page.
The whole collection can be viewed here : http://www.postertrip.com/public/5591.cfm

Im Confused about this disc
i got the Acid Test CD today. Im not quite sure how to use it. it wont play on my computer. i was under the impression that i was getting several audio cds to rip and burn. how do i get audio cds of these shows? many thanks everyone, Psychedelicman

Psychedelicman
well it`s a DVD with shn/flac files on it . to play it on your computer you will need a program called Foobar2000 , that will play shn/flac files . If you want to made CD`s you will need a program called Traders Little Helper , that will convert the flac files to standard audio files that you will be able to burn to CD . Check out to New vines 09 thread you will find links to both programs or you can just Google them . If you need more help let me know and I`ll do my best to help you out .

Using a DVD, what I did
I don't have a DVD burner right now so I copied the whole thing as a big folder to my external hard drive. I found that Winamp plays FLAC files straight up and with a little add-in called shntool it plays .shn's. Its burner will convert and burn CDs from flac but not shn.
Acid Test vine
Absolutely new here but would love to hear this stuff. Let's see if I can figure this out.

Acid Test vine - trying again
Hi there Hal, Pman, et al-
I previously signed up as newbie under the handle tester75, but was never able to get back into the site after the first time. When I tried to login, it told me that that user name was either blocked or didn't exist, but if I tried to sign up again using the same email it told me that there was already an account with that email. So I was lost in some sort of terrible winternet dimension with no access to dead.net. Tech support was overseas somewhere and absolutely useless.
Anyway, here goes, trying this again-

I'd like to get in on this
I've been a Dead fan for years. Unfortunately I don't have any trading material to add to the vine. All of my non-commercial recordings are 20+ yr old 3rd + generation boom box copies.
I've been looking for this set for years. Ever since I read Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and saw the set of tapes listed in a book on the Dead.

ok now
i have been asked to reseed this one. it will be in flac since that will be easiest. i know the list needs some reworking but ill be sending to keith first per his request. i believe the Jerry interview was vined separate as well but ill include it here to keep this vine complete
