How different is the Whisky now than it was back then? Has it been renovated or is it still the same basic hall?

A crowd of people standing still, not realizing they're at the exact place and moment in time when humanity is peaking.

Same room and the stage is in the same spot but some things have been moved around. Upstairs they put a wall between the offices facing down on sunset

This version seems to have better video quality:

The Speedy channel on YouTube has great vintage concerts with cleaned up video.

WAXL should go back on the coke and do some shows. He hasn't had that mean, pissed off look in a while.

Wow. For anyone who ever doubted that G n' R were glam.

Around this period (1975), Led Zeppelin had a fixed top ticket price of $8.50.

That's $50.24 in today's dollars.

He is also 62 years old and assuming his heart didn't blow out like Kevin Dubrow, a coked out mean pissed off Axl will go back to starting the shows whenever he feels like it. Fuck that.

I actually went to the Whisky for the first time about six months ago, on a Wednesday afternoon. Very exciting to check it out as a life-long fan of the LA music scene. It was much smaller than I had imagined.

This version of Axl is confusing, teased hair, prancing around like Gary Cherone. How did he turn into the cool Axl we all know a year later?
