The Grammy Awards have been held at multiple locations throughout the years. In 1971 the Grammy Awards had its first live telecast and therefore had its own sole venue each year for the telecast. From 1963 to 1970 the Academy aired a TV special annually called "The Best On Record" which highlighted the awards dinners. Since 2000, the Grammy Awards have been held most years at Crypto.com Arena located in Downtown Los Angeles.
