the Whisky-A-Go-Go, the Galaxy, London Fog, the Unicorn and Sneaky Pete's.

Before the Byrds played Ciro's in 1965, the pop music scene in L.A. consisted of people like Johnny Rivers, Trini Lopez and the Walker Brothers playing old-style nightclubs like PJ's (the site of what was later the Starwood rock club at Santa Monica and Crescent Heights) and Sneaky Pete's (now Duke's Coffee Shop at Sunset and San Vicente). The bohemian folk scene held forth at Doug Weston's Troubador on Santa Monica off Doheny, Ed Pearl's Ash Grove on Melrose (now the Improv) and the Unicorn at Sunset and San Vicente. Bob Gibson, now head of a publicity firm called the Group, represented such acts as the Doors, the Mamas & the Papas and the Byrds at the time, and ran a nightclub called the Cheetah on Santa Monica Pier.

Whisky-A-Go-Go, where the concept of go-go girls was born when, during a Johnny Rivers show, the mini-skirted lass who spun records in a cage high above the floor began dancing and audiences thought she was part of the show.

In 1965 and 1966 the Sunset Strip was at the vortex of American rock music. The Whisky A Go-Go opened in ’64 with Johnny Rivers as its house band, and soon after, Gazzari’s moved from La Cienega to just up the street from the Whisky. But Sunset Strip’s golden rock era really began when the Byrds — touted back then as the American Beatles — played a residency at Ciro’s in the spring of ’65, and their cover of Dylan’s "Mr. Tambourine Man" shot to number one on the pop charts. Soon the Strip was a magnet for acid-dropping teenagers everywhere, as well as for relocated New York folkies like the Mamas and the Papas. The Turtles, the Seeds, Love, the Lovin’ Spoonful, Buffalo Springfield, the Standells, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, Moby Grape, Iron Butterfly, the Mothers of Invention and the Doors all played the Strip, at near-forgotten clubs such as the Trip, the Action, the Galaxy, the Sea Witch, Pandora’s Box and the London Fog.
In the summer of 1966, a riot broke out on the Sunset Strip over the closing of Pandora’s Box, and 300 protesters were arrested. It was the beginning of the end of the club scene. After the success of the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, the spotlight shifted from Los Angeles to San Francisco bands.

The Hullabaloo became obsolete. It became the Kaleidoscope in 1967 going into 1968, where they put a little more emphasis on light shows and things like that, for people who were on acid. It finally folded and then became the Aquarius, which is where Hair had its big L.A. run.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the Sunset Strip "Riots" or demonstrations took place, but on Wednesday, Mayor Yorty came down and successfully spoke to the kids, and the demonstrations took another path... i.e. the CAFF Benefit took place and then the Monterey Pop Festival came out of that...
