Parallel to the commercial fortunes of The Warlocks, the band had been
hanging out with Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters. In their new
incarnation as The Grateful Dead, they had begun playing Acid Tests with
the Pranksters (remember, LSD was legal until October 6, 1966). The
band was unbilled, since The Acid Tests themselves were only cryptically
advertised.(1)
