OMG!!! I saw Led Zeppelin there in 1969, and then later that night they were all falling-down drunk down the street at the Rainbow. Amazing it still looks much the same inside. I caught a whiskey flask that night that was thrown from the stage - still have it. You guys have presented so many great videos, but this is gonna always be one of my favorites. I have to attach a THANKS to this one - it is really special!

I would have loved to have been at that show, but I was 8 years old at the time. 🙂

I've been on that stage so much. Tore the roof off that place dozens of times with huge metal bands. Some of the best shows I ever played were there. Better than arenas sometimes. Those more intimate shows can really pump!!

[@Dmitriy_Mid]

Please tell about it? Who are you?))) Mystery

Are you trying to say that you are famous? Who the heck are you , son ???

[@MichaelJoe212]

Its the Ghost of Jim Morrison AKA the Lizzard Troll King

[@loganstroganoff1284]

I was a roadie for a big regional band for a year and the coolest shows were always the smaller clubs. As you say much more intimate. The connection you get in those just don't happen in large venues like arenas.

[@idorumeta]

@@nochistar A quick google suggests this might be Tony from Needlemouth

[@frankbeach]

This place is so iconic. I've been a metal fan since I was a teenager. My favourite band is LA Guns. Their album Tales From the Strip features The Whisky on the cover. I've seen videos of them playing there. And its not just them. So many bands I've ever loved were there. Idk, I don't think I'd ever have the words to fully express just how rad and amazing this place is.

[@richardmillier7717]

the doors are one of the bands I wish I could have seen live. what a great band .seeing them in whisky a go go man that would've been special

[@southcountydave]

I’ve seen a couple great shows at The Whisky over the years. Goldfinger in 1997 and Cold in 2011 Wish I could go back in time to see the Doors here when they were just coming up. Just imagine seeing early Led Zeppelin there too!! It’s such a special intimate venue with so much history and mystique. Once again, always fascinating! Happy Halloween 🎃💚 🖤

[@paulrevered4136]

I used to play the whisky all the time. I’d even go upstairs to the office to get my presale tix and one time the mgr there asked me if I’d play drums for and go on tour with Dustin “screech” diamond’s band. I agreed and he came to my moms house in Carson and we rehearsed one time but the tour never happened, but it was surreal to have him in my garage jamming with me lol

[@chrismcdowell7138]

Wow! Not only was this an insightful posting, the comments of people’s personal memories, and stories, of the Whisky, is well worth reading. So many people have so much respect, for Rock n’ Roll history.

[@GlenEagleHauntings]

I knew you guys would hit this out of the park!!! You are such a GREAT storyteller! The Wisky has always been on my bucket list! Even more so now! Thank you both for another fantastic Grimm adventure!

[@zosometalgod]

You forgot to mention the mighty Zeppelin! When they came to America the whiskey a go-go was one of the first concerts! And Alice Cooper was their supporting act!

[@thedarrenzone1963]

Michael and Jessica, you've excelled yourself yet again with another great video. What a venue, a place of legends and music history. And extra marks as well for the Doctor Who reference.

[@Jay-n262]

The Doors definitely left their mark at the Whisky.

[@chuckwood8452]

Great video. One year ago, my 17 year old son and I made the drive from Vegas to see the Whisky. We are both big Doors fans. Unfortunately we got there in the afternoon and it was closed. As we were about to leave an employee walked out of the band load door. We told him we drove down from Las Vegas and he brought us inside and gave us a full tour of the building! We took great pictures and bought some t shirts. You can really feel the history and presence of the rock legends inside there. Unforgettable experience for my boy and I.

[@edwardandbella24]

Watching it now. As soon as I saw the notification for it, I put it right on. I'm a huge fan of Motley Crue, Guns n Roses, and many more. This is exciting! Love you guys!

I was at the Whiskey back in the 80’s watching local hair metal bands. But what was memorable was in 2003 or 2004, my Ex boyfriends band played there and I was a dancer for their band. So, yes, I got to see the last band room you went to and dance on stage. It was surreal to say the least. I was so nervous. But what a rush it was. I miss living in LA. But Sunset Strip is not what it used to be. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video. It gave me goosebumps and brought back memories. 🖤🐈‍⬛🖤🦇🖤⚰️🖤🧛🏻‍♀️🖤🕷️🖤🌹🖤

In-the-Moment feel of a far away flashback historical dreamscape of nastalgia. Way you narrate and share each story, and how Baby Ghoul acts out the moments in each location; Just saying, you are both perfect at what you do, in my opinion.

[@brianwatson3705]

I bet there is so much spiritual energy in that place. So much soul. Id love to visit. Baby ghoul was outstanding in this one. From the hand gestures to the go-go dancing. Her walk up the steps was something like an old noir horror movie

I am into all sorts of music, primarily alternative - rock, metal, goth etc but of everything I’ve listened to thus far, The Doors have been most significant and profound to me.

Cool of you to show that Stryper signed the wall. Plus to see that Possessed did as well, I have CDs from both bands among many others. I wonder if Death and HammerFall ever signed one of the walls?

I have one myself, great tube amp head.
