Alice Cooper is returning to play the Whiskey A Go-Go in Los Angeles on September 15, 41 years after the last time they played the club opening for Led Zeppelin.
Cooper said "The Whisky had an option for a return engagement, but we got busy and it just slipped our minds. No, seriously, the Whisky gig we did with Led Zeppelin is something we all talk about to this day. It’s going to be amazing to go back as a straight ahead L.A. bar band... We might even take requests. I figure, if we could do it in London, we can do it at the Whisky. And it’s L.A., so you never know who else might show up..."
