Neil Young and Crazy Horse will return to the iconic venue on the Sunset Strip, which opened on Sept. 20, 1973.
The Roxy on Sunset Boulevard was launched by co-founders Lou Adler and Elmer Valentine in 1973. Artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, The Ramones, Chuck Berry, Frank Zappa, Richard Pryor, Guns ‘N Roses and many, many more played the venue in the early stages of their careers. It’s also the spot where Adler launched “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in the U.S. and where comedy duo Cheech & Chong performed.
Adler, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and current owner of The Roxy, also announced he’ll be curating a “Live At the Roxy” compilation album in honor of the 50-year milestone. It will feature many of the above mentioned, as well as Emmylou Harris, Nicolette Larson, George Benson, Warren Zevon, Brian Wilson and many more.
This compilation will be available for listening initially at the Grammy Museum’s forthcoming “The Roxy: 50 and Still Rockin’” exhibition and later available for purchase with proceeds benefiting MusiCares. The Grammy Museum exhibit will kick off on Sunday, Sept.
