1965 November 27, Soquel, California -- The very first Acid Test was a party at Ken Babbs' house on 27th November 1965, although Ken Babbs recalls it as Halloween night. A flyer of the Warlocks, however, (one week before the band became known as the Grateful Dead) shows they played at Soquel as the Warlocks on November 27. There is no evidence this flyer is genuine, and several witnesses confirm that the Warlocks / Grateful Dead did not play at Soquel, but that they did mess around with Prankster instruments. In his book, Phil Lesh confirms that he attended: 'We were at the first Test not to play, but just to feel it out, and we hadn't brought any instruments or gear' Most likely Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia, members of the future Grateful Dead did attend this party. - courtesy of pincrest
