Red Dog Saloon (Virginia City, Nevada)

The Red Dog Saloon is a bar and live music venue located in Virginia City, Nevada.Folk music enthusiast Mark Unobsky bought the Henry Comstock’s house in Virginia City.In April 1963, Chandler established a family identity among approximately fifty people who attended the traditional, all-night Native American peyote ceremony.This ceremony combined a psychedelic experience with traditional Native American spiritual values;[citation needed] these people went on to sponsor a new genre of musical expression at the venue.[1] He and his friends created what became known as "The Red Dog Experience," featuring previously unknown musical acts, such as Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Charlatans, The Wildflower and others — who played in the refurbished saloon during 1965-1966.
