Go deeper: Grateful Dead

- 1965 The musicians played as the Warlocks in 1965 before adopting the Grateful Dead name later that year.
- 1965 Early members included Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Ron McKernan, Bill Kreutzmann and Phil Lesh.
- 1965 The band became associated with Ken Kesey’s Acid Tests by December 1965.
