Legendary pioneers of acid rock from their begining at notorious Red Dog Sallon in Virginia City in June 1965 till their ultimate show at the San Francisco Fillmore West in June 1969!


This is a piece of unknown rock'n'roll history and includes some pretty damn exciting music with high historical and collector value. That historical value more than compensates any limitations which originate from analogue master.


NOTE: The Charlatans played "Wabash Cannonball" at the Red Dog Saloon high on acid and in the middle of the song they lost direction and rhythm and they stopped playing.
