This is where the notorious Acid Tests were held in the mid 1960’s. The Trips Festival on January 21–23, 1966 was the most attended and advertised of the early Acid Tests.
The Family Dog was a loose collective of free spirits managed by Chet Helms, a contemporary of Bill Graham, who put on rock dances here as well as at other venues. The Family Dog put on concerts here in 1965 featuring The Jefferson Airplane, The Charlatans, The Great Society, Lovin’ Spoonful and others.
