That sort of festival is still going on with the UK's Glastonbury festival.
It caters for most musical tastes and you'll find plenty of hippies, some
naked.   Roger Waters from the Floyd  played at this years and that was only
last weekend.  As for capturing the LSD experience on a recording you need
to listen to two albums:

Ozric Tentacles - Erpland
The Infinity Project - Mystical Experiences

I can tell you they are _very_ close to the real thing.    The Ozrics album
is the most sublime, beautiful  and psychedelic music I have ever heard.
For both of these albums you really want to listen to them on a strong dose
of acid, outdoors in a beautiful place, on a fine day.

If you have trouble getting hold of them or any others that I recommend let
me know and I will help you out.   I think you can order the Ozrics album at
www.ozrics.com
