I wanted to move sooner, but ended up in Nashville in 86 (Nashville: Even at that time Nashville was NOTHING like is today) Today I picture Nashville (during the 60s) a place that used to be well known musicians came recorded (big names yet nobody knew)? I was in band (whitelace) that did NOT belong in Nashville. Although well ahead on ‘image’. When moving on sunset strip. Already gawdy cloths expensive jackets sparkling sequence with fringe, everything before going to LA. Our lead singers dad was rich wanted to invest in his sons band Whitelace’ The drummer and I were kicked out after 6 months. They said it was partying’ bringing girls to rehearsal (Elvis museum) late night. No they got rid of us so they could hire guys from LA studying at G I T Music institute. Better musicians like the guy who replaced Paul Gilbert in his old band’ Excalibur’ from early eighties. They gave us plane tickets back to calif with 500$ bucks a piece.

Thats me and my Friend Barbara in the cage ive got the skirt.. We had fun fun made money met stars and we traveled together it was a Awsome time in my life .....
You're so groovy Cindy ,I go to The Whisky(new generation) ,but it's not as cool as it use to,they've gotta book better bands,get down with the times & not get stuck in metal/hair bands, there's so many awesome bands in L.A to showcase at the Whisky & bring it back.
6.22-7.10.66 Whisky A-Go-Go, West Hollywood Gene Clark and The Group/The Locos/The Doors Gene Clark had left The Byrds in March 1966 due to his fear of flying. This was a rare performance by Gene and his band The Group, featuring Bill Rinehart (ex-Leaves) on lead guitar, Chip Douglas (ex-Modern Folk Quartet, soon-to-be Monkees producer) on bass and drummer Joel Larson (ex-the ‘original’ Bay Area Grass Roots).
Thanks for sharing this. Wonderful time capsule. The Doors, Love, etc., man, it would be great to go back in time and just witness the vibe and the atmosphere of that great era.
Had great time there. Saw groups like the Alice Cooper, CTA (Chicago Transit Authority before they became Chicago), Chuck Berry, Love, Taj Mahal ... many others (don't forget Carl Franzoni). Use to sit upstairs (cheap seats) ... this was before the mega concerts. I only regret I did not see Otis Redding when he appeared ... damn. A great time to live in LA. Now too many people,
e/one from the west and many from the east came thru the whiskey! it was the venue to be heard before arena's in LA! the list of greats reads like the hall of fame!
"Feel a lot better'' when your gone or a wordless version of the Byrds classic and another song I do not know the name of,nice to hear and certainly dance-able music-I like it!
Thank you Steve for your kind words you can find me on fb dancing boots and all .....im singing now with Dezperado loved my Go Go days at the Whisky hard work lots of stars bands etc. I was so tired dancing in that video we only had little fans up there .....then i hit the big Go Go contest in Vegas won it out of 200 girls what fun have pictures on my sight
In 67 i was 16 we used to sneak up to the sunset strip after dinner and walk around for about 2 hours and then jam back home to Whittier ca. about a half hour drive back then Had to be in by 10 pm . Mom never knew the difference she thought we were around the corner playing marbles. but we were gettin high up on the strip TaKen aCId trip out . If you went up the side street from the Whiskey about three houses thats where the bands would hang out before going on stage, Thats where the action was
Love to see this as I'm 65. You could have fit Whiskey a go go in the Penalty Box, Wildewood, NJ 4 times. But it died in the early 80's after Jersey raised the drinking age from 18 to 21.
This came off the 1967 movie Mondo Mod. I own this on DVD along with The Hippie Revolt, on Something Weird Video. Mondo Mod is mainly about the Sunset Strip, The Hippie Revolt is about the Summer of Love in San Francisco. Mondo Mod actually features cinematography from Laszo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond, and they really become big names lending themselves on Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and many more.
A lot of great bands played there. West Coast mod scene that turned freaky after the hippies came in late '65. The New York scene was louder and more in your face while the the LA scene was mello had the good drugs. Uppers, Downers, and Acid while New Yorkers were still learnin to smoke pot. The hippies invaded Greenwich Village about '67-68 but in LA they were already in full hippie swing by '66. Acid hit the streets of New York in 67. NY Bands were copying the LA bands by '67 and the Folk sound died.
I read somewhere that two of the biggest American influences on the Beatles circa 1965 - 1966 were Bob Dylan and the Byrds. The Byrds as a group did not have a long lifespan, but they were a hugely important band.
Yes, I read it was 'The Group' although doesn't seem much information out there. However I did find an interesting article with lists of bands that played the Whisky-a-GoGo at that period - chicken on a unicycle dot com .....why can't we post links, why do we have to disguise the links UA-cam, a little paranoid don't you think?
It may be a jam based on that song, but i don't think its the Byrds. 1) non of them look like members of the byrds in 67, 20 what little you can see of the name on the bass drum does not indicate a capital B, 3) listen to the vocals at around 4:30- sooooo bad, the Byrds never sounded like that.
photoslum I did not say it's The Byrds. Someone (NewRennaissanceEnt) previously opined that it may be The Sloths. Look at the name on the front of the bass drum.
My uncle lives in the penthouse apartment right up the street. He lives with Rip Taylor, the legendary comedian. You can see the club from their balcony. I remember when they filmed The Doors there. Val Kilmer was walking around and it looked as if Jim had returned to set the place on it's ear again.
This is from the 1967 documentary, Mondo Mod. I have it on a double feature DVD. The other feature is a 1967 documentary, The Hippie Revolt. It's on Something Weird Video.
Thanks for the cool background on the songs! I knew there was something familiar about the first song, but couldn't quite put my finger on it. Yeah, it's a rockin' instrumental version and perfect for go-do dancing!
Remember these guys are just babies. To be a rock/lead guitar.....7 hours a day every day. The black guy -Alvin Leave from Love? That drummer didn't let them breath . that was a very very valuable cut that DeNiro or any director could not replicate. A fool for the hair up, metallic shiny mini-dress AND to a point. big Hoops AND the killer the Egytian Liz Taylor black extended eye liner Did you see her?
alvin lee. Johny rivers opened this club and packed it 6 months solid. JR is like some kind of always works medicine- must have more than 1000 covers. Bob Dylan called him his "brother"
yes, gold medal in fencing- it was my Lady-Duff that made such a fuss that I went on otherwise she swore she would not go. I was no coward, the money was so they could think of a warm hotel once saved. I should have stayed for all the accusations better both dead. It's ironic, my whole life building up a reputation of the highest ethics, and "poof" gone in a minute. Now if roberto duran or cassius clay had copied my part, no one would whisper anything.
Ok, now you watched this go and watch some of the hair metal bands from the 80s that played there. It's actually crazy how rock'n'roll shifted and evolved in just 10 to 15 years.
I was there in 67. I remember you could smoke weed out front on the strip. There were all kinds in the club trying to pick up tricks. It was a fun time.
Time does not forgive and life is gone. All the people we see here are over 80 years old and some are gone. El tiempo no perdona y la vida se va. Todo lo gente que vemos aquí tiene más de 80 años y algunas ya no estan.
What is the name of the band playing? Isn’t it the mugwumps? When Charlie Manson was being helped by Dennis Wilson to get a recording contract, Dennis brought Charlie to the whiskey and clubowner Mario Magliarti Took an instant dislike the Manson and kicked him out of the club because Charlie was being insolent to one of the dancers. He had the bouncers pick Manson up and put him in the street and Charlie yelled you can’t do this to me I’m Jesus , Magliari replied , yes I can I’m god.
John Travolta was born in 1954 this is 1967 when this film was made he would have only been 13. How can that be Travolta that guy looks a lot older than 13.
The first song is an instrumental version of The Byrds' "Feel A Whole Lot Better" written by the late great Gene Clark and later recorded by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. No clue about the name of this band. Here's a link to The Byrds performing the song on the classic TV show Hullabaloo ua-cam.com/video/5cuWjHoEB0Q/v-deo.html . Enjoy.
We had 6 bands that night ....the band on the video was not good at all i didnt want to dance in that hot cage listening to that guitar off key...but my boss made me .....not enough rythem for me either oh well Barbara if you see this CALL ME
Is that Penny Marshall at 3:15? that guy really does look like Travolta at 2:11. I thought I saw Manson at around 2:15. Doubt it though. This is from a movie called "Mod World" shot in 1966 so it's even less likely that Travolta and Manson are in this footage. you can see the whole film here: www.historicfilms.com/tapes/3555
The first tune is "feel a whole lot better" without the vocals. Wow, bass, drums, and 2 rhythm guitars! And a generic name, "The Group". They're lucky they even had a gig let alone the Whiskey!
There is Robbie Benson @ 2:10 before meth, he starred in that flick "the death richie". I was ten when I saw the flick, it had a reverse effect on me. I wanted to get as wasted as richie did, and I did...
photoslum I did not say it's The Byrds. Someone (NewRenaissanceEnt) commented previously that the band may be The Sloths. Look at the name on the front of the bass drum.

6.22-7.10.66 Whisky A-Go-Go, West Hollywood Gene Clark and The Group/The Locos/The Doors
Gene Clark had left The Byrds in March 1966 due to his fear of flying. This was a rare performance by Gene and his band The Group, featuring Bill Rinehart (ex-Leaves) on lead guitar, Chip Douglas (ex-Modern Folk Quartet, soon-to-be Monkees producer) on bass and drummer Joel Larson (ex-the ‘original’ Bay Area Grass Roots).
Not them.
Thanks for identifying the group. I wasn't old enough to get in until '70.
Oh to go back to that time and place.........
Thanks for sharing this. Wonderful time capsule. The Doors, Love, etc., man, it would be great to go back in time and just witness the vibe and the atmosphere of that great era.
Had great time there. Saw groups like the Alice Cooper, CTA (Chicago Transit Authority before they became Chicago), Chuck Berry, Love, Taj Mahal ... many others (don't forget Carl Franzoni). Use to sit upstairs (cheap seats) ... this was before the mega concerts. I only regret I did not see Otis Redding when he appeared ... damn. A great time to live in LA. Now too many people,
A real slice of history that can never be repeated. There were many of these cover bands.
How cool would it have been to be hanging out there during the 60's and 70's
ed ubinas I did. ;) This was the 60's. I can't speak for 70's; that was a very different crowd. Rainbow Club and "glam rock" took over.
@@Eidann63What I would do just to experience this 😭, you are so lucky!

"Feel a lot better'' when your gone or a wordless version of the Byrds classic and another song I do not know the name of,nice to hear and certainly dance-able music-I like it!
This version of "Feel a lot better'' is also much faster. if it was played at normal speed it wouldn't be nearly as fun to dance to

+upsidedown dreamworld No, it's definitely an instrumental 'Feel A Whole Lot Better', The Byrds' song.
The band is THE GROUP.
If I was alive in the 60s I would’ve for sure made the trip to LA to the whiskey a go go
This rocks !!!!!! Reminds me of my first experience there. It was very similar !!!!!!
Very cool tune and footage!!

Cool Mosrite guitar at 3:18.
Long live the Sixties!

"The Group" is covering The Guiloteens "I Don't Believe."
Thanks!!!I knew that song, just couldn't put my finger on it......
THE DEARLY BELOVED
Yeah, I agree . . . wish I could have been there. Cool scene!
The band playing is THE GROUP, a cover band used just for dancing. 4:11
Man i wish i was alive back in the 60's I was born in 79 when i should of been born around 1940
The club is a real landmark - - it's still going on strong.
50 YEARS AGO!
OMG .. time flies when you're having fun! :-)
They really nailed I Don't Believe!!

Much younger crowd than 1964.
Couldn't possibly be a very Young TomPetyy could it? He did Needles and Feels a whole lot better.
John Travolta at 2:10? Nope - considering that, among other things, he was only 13 years old at the time.
It is "Feel A Whole Lot Better" by The Byrds.
yes it does, a great Sixties riff, so cool ...
To denismcdougall and everyone, thanks for the cool commentary!
:-)
Wow, what a bummer ....
First song was an instrumental Byrds "feel a whole lot better". But my gosh those guys were flat, geez. Great footage of the inside of the club.
@Dougdenslowe Actually Feel A Whole Lot Better came out in 1965 - so this is just an instrumental cover of it...
Absolutely!
I really dig the rawness of this band
no, they suck
I'm here at the Whisky...
Hot cages. ..do you see John Travolta..on the floor
At 2:08 yep. He had pretty long hair.
John Travolta was born in 1954 this is 1967 when this film was made he would have only been 13. How can that be Travolta that guy looks a lot older than 13.
GOOD CLEAN FUN !!!!!!!
Yes I agree, judging by the clothes and hair it's more like 1965 or 66. Awesome footage nonetheless. Thanks for posting!
They are playing a reason why by the byrds.
No, it's Feel A Whole Lot Better. The Reason Why is a separate song.
Does anyone know who shot this footage?
I miss the sixties
In July Jimi Hendrix first played a wah wah there in '67!
what a creative name... The Group!!
but their sound is still cool
@delineater This is not Gene Clark or the Group he played with. You can look at a photo of him and easily see he is not in this band.
Man, am I finding out the difference between the music styles of Los Angeles and San Franciso in the mid60s. Los Angeles all the way.
this is from Mondo Mod?????
Nessa época Johnny Rivers gravou nesta casa de shows um álbum espetacular ao vivo
Dave Aguilar of Chocolate Watchband. 2:10?
I agree!
WOOO!!!
The first song is an instrumental version of The Byrds' "Feel A Whole Lot Better" written by the late great Gene Clark and later recorded by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

endofthetrail: The group is called 'The Group.' It's written on the bass drum.
That's exactly what the first song was. Only the instrumental version.
THE NAME OF THE BAND IS "THE GROUP" VERY YOUNG AND NOT GOOD HOPE THEY ARE DOING BETTER WHERE..EVER THEY ARE
Not good? the vocals are bad but otherwise they were pretty good for their age. don't be a negative nancy
@darnrabbits1 This is NOT Gene Clark - or the Byrds...
D'ont believe - The Guilhotins
We had 6 bands that night ....the band on the video was not good at all i didnt want to dance in that hot cage listening to that guitar off key...but my boss made me .....not enough rythem for me either oh well Barbara if you see this CALL ME
That 's cool!
Cindy Summers So it was not easy to dance to?
Cindy Summers WOW YOU WERE SOMETHING!
+Cindy Summers Did your friend get in touch?
Tell us more!
Hmm...my first thought was the Byrds' "Feel a whole lot better", without vocals. Definitely!
I'd have likeed to be there...
Is that Penny Marshall at 3:15? that guy really does look like Travolta at 2:11. I thought I saw Manson at around 2:15. Doubt it though. This is from a movie called "Mod World" shot in 1966 so it's even less likely that Travolta and Manson are in this footage. you can see the whole film here: www.historicfilms.com/tapes/3555

@catoohey when you're right,you're right.Now what's the name of the second song?Not that anyone cares!!!!!!
What is the second song?
it would have been awsome to go to the whiskey when The Doors were the house band
trennonkingful They were never a "House" Band; they played the Whiskey, that's all.
The Doors lasted a week at the Whiskey-Go-Go. They were fired due to Jim Morrison's impromptu disgusting profanity during 'The End.'
Great eye on spotting Travolta. If that's not him it sure looks like the man.
Doubt that's Travolta. He would have been only 12 or 13 at that time. I met him at the Roxy in Hollywood around 1975. Really nice guy at the time.
What documentary is this from?
german cruz: It's from a documentary made in 1967, called 'Mondo Mod.' You can find it on YT.
Is that The Sloths?!
@LaWoman071 They were soooooo cool! :-)
There is Robbie Benson @ 2:10 before meth, he starred in that flick "the death richie". I was ten when I saw the flick, it had a reverse effect on me. I wanted to get as wasted as richie did, and I did...
Where is this from??
is that a young Travolta at 2:10?
This was an early version of Whole lot Better.
who was the band and what the name of the song??
See my response above.
Sounds likes a Feel A Whole Lot Better jam, but is not the Byrds. Just listen to the vocals at around 4:30!!!!!
photoslum I did not say it's The Byrds. Someone (NewRenaissanceEnt) commented previously that the band may be The Sloths. Look at the name on the front of the bass drum.
The band was Gene Clark of The Byrds and others and yes they weren't so good
que banda es esa?
"The Group"
John Travoltaaa in 1967 ??...at 2'10" maybe his clone??
It's his father.
"The Group", huh?
