It's a screenshot from the movie I mentioned. I had it paused on that exact frame when I was reading this post. I didn't email anything I was doing Google searches on building names that were visible in the movie just to see where the filming locations were and I found this blog.

I didn't see that you had already added the photo.<br /><br />I came across your site while trying to figure out the exact location of The Orpheum, which I had just read about in Pleasant Gehman's essay in John Doe's book, Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk.<br /><br />Her description of the theater:<br /><br />"The Orpheum wasn't a regular rock venue, just a small black-box theater that Peter Case [of The Nerves] had somehow managed to rent for this gig, which I believe was the first -- and last -- rock show ever held there. Located just off the Sunset Strip, kitty-corner from Tower Records on the tiny dead-end Nellas Street, the entrance was in the back, and as our carful of crazies arrived, there was already a number of punks congregated in the alley drinking, including Belinda [Carlisle, of the Go-Go's]....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740044687026723126.post-17100414352904326762020-09-08T13:10:04.519-07:002020-09-08T13:10:04.519-07:00Thanks -- But I had seen the image maybe a year ag...Thanks -- But I had seen the image maybe a year ago -- that''s when I first started wondering what the Orpheum name was doing in WeHo. I had it sitting in my files and finally put it on the page yesterday before your comment here. I did take the liberty of leveling it a bit so perhaps that's why you didn't recognize it as the same image. I'll add a link to the Getty site in the caption. Cheers!

The Germs played their first show at The Orpheum on April 16, 1977. There are two posts confirming these details on the Facebook page of The Orpheum Theater Company.<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/226620560830970/photos/a.226653717494321/488728011286889/?type=3&theater<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/226620560830970/photos/a.226653717494321/422078531285171/?type=3&theaterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740044687026723126.post-61744940278125725332018-07-18T18:43:23.329-07:002018-07-18T18:43:23.329-07:00Hi, Ron -- Thanks for your comments.

We seem to have ads from the summer of 1967 with the 8816 1/2 address being used. But who knows? Let me know if you figure anything out.

I attended film screenings at the Cinematheque 16 a couple of times during the summer of 1967. As I recall, the location was not on the Strip but somewhere on the south side of Sunset Blvd. in the middle of a shopping strip a block or two east of Fairfax Blvd. I no longer have the handbills, but it definitely was the same name and same kind of programming as mentioned in this page's description. My first visit I recall as July 5, 1967.Ron Lightnoreply@blogger.com
