EDITED: This Death Don't Have No Mercy is actually a lower-quality, incomplete alternative recording of the "1/8" one. Aside from a few replayed frames, this song and the preceding "1/8" Caution perfectly match the B&W video in The Acid Test Part 3. I have now confidently dated the video to 2/25/66 at Empire Studios, and thus this tape must also be 2/25/66. The "1/8" King Bee is likely the real 3/19/66 based on my tedious analyses.

I'm a 3-19-66 model! Very cool & VERY groooooovvvyyyy. Thank you BigSur & Cathay Studios for preserving & sharing this! I always knew that there was a dead show going on while I was entering this dimension. Strangely, I just recently discovered that my son was also born during a Dead show (5-19-92) & that they played Tennessee Jed (his name is Jed, but not because of the song!). He made it to one show, 6 weeks later at Buckeye Lake in Ohio.

I've been working for a screenwriter in the Carthay Studios building (now Hi-Point Studios) for a few months now, but I only discovered this awesome piece of history just the other day. Almost 45 years to the day and less than a month before the lease ends on the office. As a Deadhead, I feel obligated to take a few shots of the building and sound stage before we move out and post them online somewhere. There isn't much info about this test on the internet. Can anyone add anything interesting?
