Description
Red Dog Saloon - Virginia City, Nevada July 4th 2011
The Comstock House was a large brick hotel built on the west side of C Street after the Great Fire of 1875 and operated more or less continuously, following Virginia City in decline into the twentieth century. In early 1965, some San Francisco refugees living in Silver City bought the old structure, decorated it up, moved in upstairs, and went to San Francisco to look for a house band. There they found the colorfully dressed Charlatans, who were looking for their first gig and got it. From the stage of the Red Dog they introduced the world to psychedelic guitar band rock and roll -- the start of something big.
