    I'm loving these behind the scenes videos! The venue tours are amazing and lets us in on on the backstage stuff. But I love this day off tour too. A great look at a quiet city on a pleasant day. Thanks for letting us travel with you Lee!

    Walla Walla, Washington.
    The town so nice, they named it twice!
    Enjoy the day off as much as you cam, and be good to you!
    Thanks for the tour 🙏

    Walla Walla is known for its 🌰 onions! The Pacific NW is quite diverse, Seattle rains, Spokane, four distict seasons and SW WA flat and desert!
    I so wanted to zip down the 3 hours from Spokane and see you all! My schedule is just to tight and didn't realize how close the tour was until the other day. Where's my motorcycle when I need it! Blessings Lee! Have a great show!

    • @paulamccusker699
      @paulamccusker699 2 года назад

      Not the most exciting place to visit, it appears. Looks like one of the many hotels just off the interstate, where there’s not much around or within walking distance anyway. “City Center” wasn’t actually the best name for that motel Lee passed on his walk around the block.

    • @eyelidman09
      @eyelidman09 2 года назад

      Not the most exciting place I agree, but a glimpse of ‘real life’ as opposed to movies which are fictional and perhaps all most people get chance to see of American life.👍🇬🇧🌞🖖👍

    Days off are good!!! While gigging is good, the days are long, the nights are short, (particularly on the crew side), and schedules are tight and routine for the most part. If one can enjoy a day off that isn't a travel day, it is usually pretty welcome! Hope you all enjoyed your day! Carry on!

    Hey Leland. I loved the video today. I live in Australia in the City of Bendigo. Your video today showed what the 'real USA' is like. It could have been here in Bendigo, but the traffic drives on the opposite side of the road. I was able to check on Google Maps where you were, when I was watching the video. Take care, enjoy the tour. Thanks for sharing and caring.

    Mr. Sklar….
    For the record, I rarely, rarely comment on youtube. This is maybe my third comment of all time. You see, I live in Walla Walla but missed your show, sadly. In any case, your walkabout so clearly illustrates what I have felt for years. The rumor is that Walla Walla is a happening place with wineries, live music, amazing food and culture. Housing prices are off the charts and it is apparently a destination spot.
    My wife and I are always looking at each other and saying “kinda feels like a ranching town to me”. Anyway, you certainly have a refined sense of the true vibe of a city as you’ve been to nearly every one of them on the planet.
    This made my day, my man, and I am absolutely smiling. Thank you, Sir!!

    Just tuned in so this might be a suggestion too late, but Walla Walla has a very cool, cute, little "real" downtown with lots of good restaurants, etc. Lots of fine wineries in Walla Walla, too, that are cool to visit even if you don't drink, as neither you nor I do. The Whitman College (former U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who must be spinning in his grave, is a notable alumnus) campus is another beautiful place to spend an hour or two.

    looks like many neighbourhoods, even here in Canada. Looking very much forward for Red Rocks. Many many years ago, (1970's) I did lights for Karen Silver and her band. I only went on the Ontario Holiday in Tour. Well I quit before they left the Province. Touring is an experience. Either you love it or you hate it. I found the latter as I prefer my own bed. I also like to know where I am, and when you wake up in (Clone Hotel) Holiday Inn.. you have no idea what city your in, especially after partying with the band the night before..lol Take care Lee

There used to a private school there for girls who were…….not performing up to expectations. And before any of you pile on…NO, I did not go to it!

  • @randyschiffer3265
    @randyschiffer3265 2 года назад +12

    On a long and lonesome highway
    East of Omaha
    You can listen to the engine
    Moanin' out his one note song
    You can think about the woman
    Or the girl you knew the night before
    But your thoughts will soon be wandering
    The way they always do
    When you're ridin' sixteen hours
    And there's nothin' much to do
    And you don't feel much like ridin'
    You just wish the trip was through
    See here I am
    On the road again
    There I am
    Up on the stage
    Here I go
    Playin' star again
    There I go
    Turn the page
    Well you walk into a restaurant
    Strung out from the road
    And you feel the eyes upon you
    As you're shakin' off the cold
    You pretend it doesn't bother you
    But you just want to explode
    Most times you can't hear 'em talk
    Other times you can
    All the same old cliches
    "Is that a woman or a man?"
    And you always seem outnumbered
    You don't dare make a stand
    Here I am
    On the road again
    There I am
    Up on the stage
    Here I go
    Playin' star again
    There I go
    Turn the page
    Out there in the spotlight
    You're a million miles away
    Every ounce of energy
    You try to give away
    As the sweat pours out your body
    Like the music that you play
    Later in the evening
    As you lie awake in bed
    With the echoes from the amplifiers
    Ringin' in your head
    You smoke the day's last cigarette
    Rememberin' what she said
    Here I am
    On the road again
    There I am
    Up on the stage
    Here I go
    Playin' star again
    There I go
    Turn the page
    Here I am
    On the road again
    There I am
    Up on the stage
    Here I go
    Playin' star again
    There I go
    There I go

    Quick Wiki check: Walla Walla = place of many waters (in Nez Percé language - currently less than 100 fluent speakers). Aka W2 by locals.

    I came to a conclusion that the word "Touring" is a alternate name for "Board to death". I and my band did enjoy when we where in my home area as I took then to beaches and forest hikes etc. But most the time,, we sat in our room watching TV. This is why I moved into Electronics and Computes...lol

    When you said that I realized you were with me in spirit when I painted my car with a mop.
    Back in the 70s found a bucket of brown house paint and a mop, and painted my POS ('49 Hillman Minx) car of multiple colors with the mop, and scraped the windows. While I was doing it I was playing James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstandt, etc.
    P.S. I named the car The Meatball. My wife was not impressed.

    Well I enjoyed the walk. I understood the hopes-dashed moment of discovering it was only a Pizza Hut though. Our booming memorial stone business is right next to Larry's Better Burger, which gives it a big run for its money. Larry's has so much stuff, but it also has great home made ice cream in about seven flavors. It's an old drive in under an awning, but with walk up windows, and no tables or any place to sit, so it's helpful to have a car, but I have gone anyway, long after I stopped driving sometimes. They are nonstop busy deluxe till 11pm. The two interesting flavors of ice cream are banana nut, and butterfinger. They have the sloppiest nachos ever, but good. Most everything around it is industrial. I miss Harold's barbecue, but I miss Harold more. It had been the only other place near Larrys a few blocks. The guys having a bus barbecue sounds good. The last few years I drove a lot, I started trying a thing to get off the main road through towns that were small but didn't seem to have a lot. I would look for the signs pointing to the library. There's almost always signs, with arrows pointing, saying "visitors station" and "hospital" and "library." I got curious about small town libraries, and museums. I figured the librarians could tell me more about places they liked in town. Usually there wasn't enough time to check the museum. Did get snowed in a few times and did that, since it could be walked to. "Thousand miles from nowhere." :) "Story of my life." "I've Been Everywhere." 😂 Even this morning. Sure felt good to get out of those pants, and tune the guitar.

    At first I thought, "have I stayed in this hotel before" and then realized that there are hotels and hotel parking lots all across America that look pretty much just like this. Was the tour management intentional about trying to stay "in-brand" with the hotels so you aren't splitting up the points across Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, IHG, etc. etc?

    On such a day off, are you left on your own for dinner or is there a catered meal at the hotel. Those guys grilling looks good. You could grill corn on the cob and some plant based burgers.

      Wondering the same - look pretty sharp. Must also have to break away to refuel, take on water, empty tanks and whatnot a few times a week, huh ??
