Grateful Dead 1966 San Francisco State "Whatever It Is" Acid Test Handbill

Description: Grateful Dead 1966 S.F. State "Whatever It Is" Acid Test Handbill An original handbill for the last-ever legal Acid Test held, because LSD was outlawed in California just a few days later. Given that fact plus the music of the Grateful Dead and the attendance of chief Merry Prankster Ken Kesey, you have a highly important cultural collector's item in this flyer and a visually compelling one to boot. The design was supplied by Stewart Brand, an important early scenester who co-promoted the Trips Festival and went on to design the Whole Earth Catalog. Alternately nicknamed the "X Handbill" and "Whatever It Is" handbill, this piece advertised the goings-on at San Francisco State over Friday, Sept. 30 and Sat.-Sun., Oct. 1 & 2, 1966.
