Located in the former Crescendo jazz club, The Trip was short-lived but impactful. Hosted The Velvet Underground and The Byrds during the crucial 1965-1967 period when the Sunset Strip was becoming the epicenter of rock counterculture.
Opened by Elmer Valentine and partners, it was part of the network of clubs that defined the Strip experience. Its association with groundbreaking artists cemented its place in rock history. Site now commercial retail/office space.
Psychedelic and folk rock.
