Ep 173: Backstage Pass with DeeDee Keel

This week I am joined once again by the magnificent DeeDee Keel as she shares some never before stories from her days working at the Whisky a Go Go! DeeDee Keel is a rock and roll woman with a Heart of Gold! We first had the great pleasure of chatting with DeeDee back in Episode 124 where she shared stories about growing up in Venice Beach down the street from The Doors, scoring a primo gig at the Whisky a Go Go where she worked for the next 12 years, what it was like to be a part of the Led Zeppelin crew, her personal groupie tricks and touring experiences with her then husband Ron Keel. Every time I have the pleasure of talking with DeeDee she blows me away with another story from her incredible past. When I asked her to return for a second episode she came prepared with some extremely fun, never before heard stories from her time on the Sunset Strip. DeeDee talks about fond memories at the Riot House and Sunset Plaza, going full circle with Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice and Blue Cheer's Leigh Stephens, her relationship with guitarist Sam Mitchell, and a not so friendly encounter involving Mott the Hoople frontman Ian Hunter. Oh, and what sexy guitarist did DeeDee save from drowning? Tune in to find out!
