This is a slightly interesting historic snippet if you know some of the people on the screen but trying to capture an Acid Test or similar event on film event is an impossible and pretty funny joke. These were completely individual subjective AND collective group experiences - in the moment - and they are light years removed from any film clips.
If you want to know more about it, The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test is a good book to read as far as documenting it goes. But the main lesson there, as always, is that you have to make something happen for yourselves.
