weir-improvise
Assertion
In a 1997 interview (reported in Guitar Player, 2022), Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir recalled that when the band (then the Warlocks) played Ken Kesey's mid-1960s Acid Tests they were taking LSD and that, being completely disoriented, they had to fend for themselves and improvise, getting better at playing through large doses over time. This is a musician's recollection about LSD, not psilocybin.
