===Early history===
Live Without was formed in Houston, Texas by Kris, Matt, Aaron, and Zain in mid-2012. Their YouTube channel was created on July 10 of that year. They began to play many live shows around their area, which were recorded and then upload to their channel.
===Denny's Grand Slam===
Inspired by videos of other bands playing shows inside of fast food restaurants, Live Without wanted to do something similar for one of their shows. One day in May 2013, while eating at their local Denny's location, the group overheard that said location would be going out of business. The band then asked if they could host their concert in the space since the restaurant was not going to be operating. To their surprise, the owner agreed, and they began to promote their concert all around the Houston area.
The concert took place on the night of May 18, 2013. Turnout was massive, and the concert was going well as Live Without started to play. During one of their songs, the band's lead vocalist, Kris, shouted toward the crowd: "What's up?! What's up?! What the fuck is up, Denny's?!" This line later became iconic to the event and the band as a whole. The event was a massive success, and video recorded from it was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel the next day.The Dennys Grand Slam — Live Without (YouTube). 19 May 2013
The footage taken from the Denny's Grand Slam did not initially become popular, though the event was widely discussed within the Houston area. Though, in 2018, some users on Twitter and YouTube brought back attention to it by uploading clips,2am at Denny's — Josh Bird (YouTube). 25 Jul 2018 and the event quickly became a meme.
