“This is entitled ‘Ringo Starr and John Lennon: On The Rox’. [...] On The Rox was this totally cool ‘In crowd’ nightclub that sat on the top of the Roxy Theatre. Nobody got into this place. You had to be a heavy duty celebrity like Warren Beatty or Cher. You had to be on the list, you had to know Elmer Valentine or you had to have the key and Ringo had that key. As you can see he’s inserting the key into the door to get into On The Rox.”

Ringo, John and Yoko visit On The Rox, an exclusive bar above the Roxy Theatre on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California in April (?) 1976. This bar was a place John regularly came to during his ‘Lost Weekend’ period in 1973 - 74.
