Inside the Grateful Dead's First Performance (The Warlocks): Magoo's Pizza in Menlo Park

In Episode 6 of The Odyssey of Jerry Garcia, join Bay Area Babylon as Lucky gets an inside look at the former Magoo's Pizza, a small venue in Menlo Park, California, where on May 5, 1965 The Warlocks, who would later achieve worldwide fame as the Grateful Dead, played their first show ever! The atmosphere was electric as the band members-Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Dana Morgan Jr., and Bill Kreutzmann-took the stage, eager to share their eclectic blend of rock, blues, and folk. Despite the modest setting, the crowd was captivated by the Warlocks' raw energy and innovative sound. This historic performance at Magoo's set the stage for the Warlocks' transformation into the Grateful Dead and their subsequent rise to become one of the most influential bands in rock history.
