The exhibit, which runs until early 2024, includes dozens of photographers of iconic musicians on the small West Hollywood club’s stage.
Different sections show various aspects of the Roxy. The classic artists who have played the venue included images of Linda Ronstadt with her friends in Little Feat outside the club before her 1973 shows, Peter Gabriel in 1977, Prince, in a tiger-striped bikini bottom, in 1979, Levon Helm with the Muscle Shoals All-Stars in 1982, Nick Cave and the Birthday Party in 1983.
Sections on life backstage at the Roxy show the royalty of rock and entertainment mingling. Bob Dylan invited Robert DeNiro for a photograph after a show by Renee Blakely that also included actresses Sally Kirkland and Lainie Kazan in 1976. Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood is seen laughing with Muddy Waters in 1981. Beatle George Harrison looks slightly in awe as he talks with Bob Marley in 1976.
“Chaos,” Lou Adler replied in the film when asked what he remembered of opening night. “A lot of it was by invitation, but the invitations got out of hand. Celebrities upon celebrities.” After the film screened, Grammy Museum curator Jasen Emmons hosted a panel discussion that included Cisco Adler, a co-owner of the Roxy and a musician who has played there; Tollett of Goldenvoice; music journalists Steve Appleford and Allison Hagendorf, and music executive Julie Pilat.Walking into Rage Against the Machine’s last show, or last show then, and, having grown up on that, seeing it in that small room. It was just an ‘ah ha’ moment for me of why the Roxy is so special.
