You win a cookie if you can also name the band in this photo...

OK, the one I put up earlier was mislabeled on Getty Photos as Cafe Au Go-Go, but it's actually the Night Owl (around the corner, on 3rd Street, where the Lovin' Spoonful started out). G.D. never performed there (but they did perform at the Go-Go). The Night Owl space was occupied by Bleecker Bob's Records in the '80's-'90's.
Here's another groovy '60's venue (which apparently did host the Dead), who can name it?

I only guessed that it might be the Cheetah Club because I had a poster from there for a while and it gave me that vibe. I'll pay attention and see who might get it.

No idea of those venues but
No idea of those venues but this is is a great thread.
I took an interest in Venues after the 83 thread. Yesterday I was chatting with a friend about The Chance venue. He has been going to see shows there for many many years. When I informed him of the fact that is is for sale He said its in need of dire repair, love, serious renovation and Deeeep pockets.. Those comments inspired me to consider starting t a thread about "toilet bowl venue but great shows".

Ah, the Chance! A glorious and legendary dump. I got to perform in a benefit show there last year (one of my last before the pandemic), such a trip to stand on that stage.
And yes, it is for sale;

Some good calls.
Some good calls.
Yes, the Avalon Ballroom SF as it is today,
Yes, The Dead Kennedys at the original Fillmore, taken in '81, when the venue was known as the Elite Club (imagine that only 12 years earlier Jim Morrison played the same room and would have been busted for just suggesting dropping trou', let alone going full bare as Jello is doing there).
And the Carousel Ballroom/Fillmore West as it is today.
Earlier today a friend posted some shots of the Fillmore/Elite Club from the early '80s when it was a punk venue. I thought it was interesting and figured I'd put it up here. Not being a punk fan (at all) at the time, I knew nothing of it.
Here's another from the same golden era of those three great rooms. Probably easy to guess, but just for fun I like to put up these old classic venue photos...

I saw PiL with John Lydon there in 84? Was a great show. His backup band was wearing pink tuxedos and when he played Anarchy in the UK as an encore people were jumping off the balcony. L.A. had a huge Punk and Metal scene at that time.
The GD played some hot shows there in 71/72

I'm fine letting others run with a thread, and besides, other than the old Detroit place I don't know any of the others shown.
I'm endlessly fascinated with venues of all kinds, but outside the Bay Area I would never claim to be an expert, so I sit back and let you others play, and I learn something.
Carry on.
