What happens when one man changes not just how we hear music...but the way we experience it?

Meet Augustus Owsley Stanley III...also known as “Bear.” He wasn’t just the Grateful Dead’s sound engineer; he was the underground chemist who produced millions of doses of LSD, fueling the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s and beyond.

Owsley’s obsession with purity...in concert sound, and pure acid... transformed live music forever.

From the birth of the legendary “Wall of Sound” PA system to the secret labs that churned out the most potent LSD on the planet, this is the long, strange trip of how Owsley Stanley became a folk hero, a criminal mastermind, and an audio pioneer... all at once.
