Valentine's Day, 1968 in San Francisco's legendary Carousel Ballroom was an extraordinary experience, and it's all captured here - as the first complete show in the Road Trips series. Thanks to a trusty 8-track tape machine, we can enjoy this magical performance that catches the band at a pivotal moment in the exploration of their own sound. It was a night where the band tried out all their newest songs - ones that we now know as classics!
The package includes an essay by Blair Jackson with some amazing anecdotes about Neal Cassady's powerful impact on the band.
All discs are mastered (in HDCD) by Jeffrey Norman.
