This is awesome. You're the best at teaching Los Angeles music history.
As a former LA baby. LA definitely has nostalgia for me.
I may not live in Southern California anymore but watching your videos makes me feel like I never left. Thanks another awesome video.
Thanks as always.
This is fucking an incredible video... Praise! Praise! Praise!
Thanks!
So here is the conclusion to our 30 Most Important LA Clubs Series. If you've got a story to share or would like to point out something we missed, by all means do!
Glad you included Boardner's!
Couldn't help noticing the CVS Pharmacy building - a bit history on that plot of land...
Quick question. Is this you in an old video from The Masque Club? The young man with the sunglasses? The link... ruclips.net/video/IJEvGgLkiLo/видео.html
@@childofthelight888 OMG! I had to watch it like 5 times. I used to wear I tie like that, I was def more into the new wave side of things but alas, its not me. I probably hung out at the Masque 20 times but except for 1 person in the vid I don't recognize anyone. I've never seen this vid, its really cool and thanks so much for posting it.
Brother !! Great job can you tell me how the photo at 9:37 ended up in the bar ' now voyager ' in burbank? It was located at the base of the Disney building. Thanks great vid btw
Scream Club… either or both locations 🖤. Enjoyed both videos!
On Highland and on Olympic (I think)
@@RockessentialTim, the Highland location was the mid week location.
The 60's and 70's were an exciting time in Hollywood. Not so much now. Keep cranking them out Tim. Your videos are so good.
Coconut Teaser was one of, if not THE first club to do PAY TO PLAY , thats why they had so many crazy local bands, they allowed anyone to play, as long as they forked up the money - also, AL's BAR downtown art district was a legendary punk venue
Chinatown was cool, kind of "exotic" and unlikely, maybe a bit surreal. I was mainly a Hong Kong Cafe guy but I remember standing in the courtyard with a friend trying to decide between the two. One night I was in the Hong Kong Cafe and had to use the restroom. I believe there was not a restroom for patrons upstairs and I went down to the restaurant restroom. I was standing at the urinal when an angry looking Asian man in a leather jacket (think Bruce Li) came in and pushed the stall door open rather violently. He was looking for someone! Thankfully nobody was there because he would have had to get rid of the witness too. Wow, Club Lingerie...that one was locked deep inside my memory banks. I think I only went to one Starwood show, it must have been pretty close to the time it was accidentally lit on fire. Eddie Nash was a pretty dark figure. Thanks for the upbeat and stirring trip!
Cool story. I was in the former Hong Kong Cafe about a year ago (downstairs) and it was almost unrecognizable. Same ceiling though. Wong's is now a private residence. I spent many, many hours there...
Tim, I met Linda Ronstadt, last year. It was a dream come true, for a life-long fan. She's a great person, as well as singer. She told me a lot of stories about her life touring, and about friends she hung with, back in the day! Stay cool!
That is so awesome! Was it up in San Francisco?
Tim, I met Linda Ronstadt in Tucson, Arizona, her hometown. Linda was in town because she was getting an honorary doctorate from the college. I was visiting a friend there, and literally bumped into her downtown. She had time to talk, and said she always has time for her fans. We ended up talking all afternoon. We have kept in touch since then on the phone. I think, since her retirement, she gets lonesome and even bored sometimes. I live in Wisconsin, so I hope to be able to see her again in person, the next time I get to San Francisco. Do you know, she's an expert chess player! Her son taught her! She's a very talented person. Well, keep making those videos, Tim!
Right on! @@DavidSampson-hk2xh
Your video editing skills are very good.
Oh yeah…and:
McCabes
Molly Malones
Another idea: the old large venues for music in LA like the Shrine Exposition Hall (where Bill graham held his LA shows, the Shrine Auditorium, the Rose Palace (a huge Pasadena warehouse where rose parade floats were built - graham had to move here after too much trouble at the Shrine), the Palladium, maybe more to come
Great videos. Thanks
You know I didn't thi nk of Molly's until I was done filming. Part 3?
I spent a lot of time at The Cathay, Raji's, and The Anti-Club. Fun watch!
Love this series on Hollywood clubs thank you. I didn't notice one or two clubs you didn't feature. First Club the Galaxy a few doors west of the Whiskey A Go-Go. I saw the band LOVE among other bands at the Galaxy, only there a few times. On the East End there was a Hullabaloo Club which turned into the Kaleidoscope for a short time and then became the Aquarius theater. Being a teenager at the time 66 through 70 I didn't go to bar bars very much. I did manage to see most all of the big names during that time at various different places. Funny you mention the Hyatt I rode up the elevator with Donovan one time at the Hyatt it was hilarious I was in shock. Again thanks for the Memories.
Thanks and I love your comment. You mention the Kaleidoscope. I wish I had remembered that cuz when I was filming by The Palladium I drove right past where it was on Sunset.
In the 60s I cleaned the floors at Shellys Man Hole in the mornings. At night we went out, Ben Frank's and Pioneer Chicken, tail of the Pup were places we ate. Fell down the stairs at Pandora's Box going to the bathroom. Remember hitting the floor and looking up at the one bare lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. Damn those Ludes...Hung in the Valley a lot, your vids take me back..
Those were great places to hang. Wish I could remember more about it but as you said so succinctly---Damn those Ludes. Right on!
Thank you so very much for for taking some of us on a trip down memory lane!! And educating others with the rich musical history that is LA and Hollywood!! I though I got to see some bands back in the days, but damn amigo… you’ve seen some bands!!! Thank you again so very much. Made my night. Keep ‘em coming. Cheers!!!
Thanks! I saw a lot of those bands back then cuz I played in one and pretty much played at every one of those clubs. My band at the time got signed one night when we played the Coconut Teaszer. Some good times. But I was really impressed with The Smell downtown and they still have bands every weekend. It was really great watching a bunch of teenagers rock out!
Thanks Tim for another great video.👍🎶
Thanks, Alton!
Hong Kong Cafe..1980 …played there a few times. The Starwood what Aden of iniquity …wonderful!. Coconut Teaser…yup.
Very cool
In 1966-67 the teen dance club "It's Boss" was where I saw the Bobby Fuller Four and Arthur Lee and Love. The Palladium and Kaleidoscope sound familiar, I don't recall which venue I saw The Seeds. Went to a "Freak Out" with the Mothers of Invention at the Shrine Hall in Sept 1966 and again Dec 1968. Saw a number of great shows at the Shrine back in the day. I've been to the Roxy, Troubadour, Whisky... after my psychopath brother-in-law held a loaded gun in my face I fled LA and continued my rockNroll life in NoCal. This video reminded me of what I left behind. Thanks.
Believe it or not, I've never heard of "It's Boss" before. Bobby Fuller Four was one of my favorites. I might have to do a SF version on this vid one day. Thanks for watching!
Great video!!! I had forgot that Rodney Bingenheimer had a band and a club. I had seen the photo you showed of Rodney and there in the middle was Peter Tork with Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz. I was one of those tweens who got hooked on music from the Monkees shows and music. I have continued to attend shows with the last one, the Micky & Mike Show in 2019. I did not attend their final tour and now I wish I had, since Mike Nesmith passed. When you go through the history of Hollywood bands, Hollywood clubs, there is very frequently a Monkee conection, especially with Micky Dolenz. Would you ever do a video on the Monkees? Micky was Alice Cooper's neighbor, friend and founding member of the Hollywood Vampires, he was part of the group of friends that was part of John Lennon's lost weekend and from I what I have heard, he through some of the best parties in Laurel Canyon. Stephen Stills tried out for the Monkees and they liked his vibe but didn't think he would film well and producers asked him if he had any friends, so Stills sent Peter Tork to audition. Peter was friends with not only Stephen Stills, but David Crosby too. The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield would hang out at Peter's place and Stills, lived with him for awhile. Mike of course gigged at the Troubador prior to the Monkees and hosted a hootnany night weekly in 1965, I think. I would love to see where these guys hung out and if there are filming sites, if the recording studios are there. I know, in a lot of circles, these guys are still considered un-cool, but they did have talent and Micky has one of the best voices from that era. Just because they didn't play any instruments and used the Wrecking Crew on their first two albums, doesn't mean they couldn't play, it was because they weren't allowed to.
You make a compelling point for The Monkees! I have touched on a few of the locations in my Laurel Canyon series but have not as of yet thought about a dedicated episode. I saw Peter in a hotel lobby about 10 years ago and I didn't want to bother him but now I could kick myself. Would have loved to say hi!
@@RockessentialTim Also, I forgot to mention that Mike Nesmith wanted to record a certain little song with the Monkees, which became Linda Ronstadts first hit, A Different Drum. Of course Don Kirshner did not allow them to record it so Nesmith gave it to Linda. The powers that be have a problem with this band as they were not organically created but were cast for TV as well as being hit makers.
Thank you for this!
Right on, thanks!
Love your videos Tim: I was in a band that was searching for a new label after deciding not to renew with Bell records. We had to play the top 40 cover circuit to survive. Of course playing 5-6 nights a week we did not have the energy to work on our original music. We played at Big Daddy’s , The Basement in Marina Del Ray etc. Happening dance rock clubs in the 70’s. Jonathan Cain trio played the downstairs lounge and we played the upstairs room at Big Daddy’s. Celebrity hangout in those days. Thanks for the memories love it and your knowledge. BTW recorded at Wally Heiders bummed to see it is now a restaurant. ☹️😢
Interesting and you bring up what I feel is a good point. I don't think playing originals became quite as important until 78 when punk first took hold in LA. Not a single one of those bands played covers, prolly cuz they weren't musically capable of it, but in my opinion it really changed the course of how clubs, who before that would not let you play originals, would book bands. Thanks for the cool comment.
Can’t get enough
Cool shit as always Tim 👍
Thanks, Garry!
I got a feeling you’re doing this in a single take. Damn. 👏
Excellent
Don't know how I missed this, but it was outstanding, thank you.
Thank you. It was a really fun vid to do, mainly cuz I think I frequented every single one of them!
Raji’s wasn’t torn down to make way for condos, the building was condemned after irreparable damage from the Northridge earthquake.
Great Videos and even better locations! looking forward to seeing where you go next and now how I have new places to go to! 👍🏻
Love love a spot of rock nostalgia. Looking to when I can come to LA and complete some of your LA/rock hikes👍🏽
Your videos never disappoint. Love the background music and vibe. You're still very cool. Thank you✌🏽💚
Thanks again. I love hearing about the background music cuz I prolly work harder on that than the filming! Cheers...
My band The Rich was rehearsing in the basement of The Masque in 1978 and then we performed there also several times.
The Go Gos were rehearsing in the basement on some of the same evenings as my band The Rich.
Excellent Tim!
Thanks, Drew!
Super cool😎Thank you
Right on, thanks!
The Hong Kong Cafe was also known as the Hong Kong Low, site of many great Rock En Español shows in the early nineties. Thanks for this cool video!
I did not know that. Awesome!
Once again, a great tour and history lesson...! Well done Sir...! I learn from you every time I watch.
Thanks again!
Fantastic Tim! I'm exactly like you..I just wish they would restore and keep these iconic venues...they have done the same at all the amazing venues in Australia that being a musician I played at...I've also noticed too the music is really coming back in the youth!
There are a couple places here still cranking it out. There is still nothing that sounds so good as a guitar played live through a Marshall turned full out.
This is a great video!! 👍👍
But you should of mentioned The Olympic Auditorium located in downtown L.A. , it had some great punk shows in the early 80s. Also the Anti Club in East Hollywood. ⭐
Ahhhhh the good 'ol days in LA. I hit a few of these in the '80's. Thanks for the ride!
There was nothing like it back then!
Hi Tim! Another great video! So awesome to hear of the history of so many buildings I have seen and passed by for so many years! You do awesome with sharing history with us! You're the music man! You know all the spots! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Char! Giving away my age here but I frequented a lot of those clubs back in the day...
Always entertaining and informative, more please ATB !
I find this so interesting Tim. Keep up this great work of rock and roll history. I really enjoyed this video
This is very cool. I was there. You did a great thing making this. You made my day 🔥
Thank you.
Your welcome.
Yea baby...
New video
Mucho MEOW and as always,
ROCK ON
🎧
Rock on!
Your story and your sticking to it, from a country song. 👍 Nashville, your next stop ?
Another really good video.
Thanks, Jimmy!
We saw a lot of bands at the Starwood. Incredible iconic club!!!
Great videos. ... thanks!
Thanks!
thanks for sharing this Tim , I appreciate your videos very much & I look forward to seeing more in the future , Cheers Tim ✌️🇺🇲 🎸 🇨🇦✌️
Right on, Mark. BTW: I see in your profile picture you've got a couple friends. Mine is a Pittie too!
@@RockessentialTim that pittie to my right is my son's dog that I've trained over the last 5 years, he's a 114 lb rednose pittie & the giant white German boxer to my left was bigger than the pittie but both very cool to have around, Cheers Tim ✌️
Great episode. Camera work was remarkable. Thanks.
I wield a mean selfie-stick. Thank you!
That was a blast down memory lane!
Played in several bands back in the day, great to see some of the old sights again! Thank you
Right on, thanks!
Another fantastic walk back in time! It’s mind blowing to see how gentrified the area near Boardners is now. I never set foot in that then dive bar but know a lot of former alcoholics that did 😂
Great videos Tim, some of us were blessed to live in the LA area growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80's and experienced the great music developed and performed. I'm glad I survived to have those memories just like you. Thanks for sharing!!!
I always look forward to your videos! They are all absolutely fantastic! I love history like this. You do a great job narrating and are an enjoyable host :)
Thanks. This series was really fun to make cuz I got to revisit a few of my old haunts and hangouts. Cheers!
Thank you for all your knowledge and sharing...
Another great set, Tim. And the backing tunes! Dude, you're killing me 🤘😀. Thanks for doing what you do mano.
Dude. That UFO show at The Starwood in 1976 was my first gig after landing in L.A. four days earlier! My band (Rockin' Horse) opened. After our set was over, I made the mistake of opening the backstage door in order to get something out of our truck. The next thing I knew, Eddie Nash was screaming at me and trying to push me down the stairs. I would have been way more scared if I'd known who he really was!
OMG. I think I had been in town for a week and was staying at The Highland Towers on Highland and Franklin. I don't recall seeing Rockin' Horse but I seem to remember the name. It was a great show and probably cuz I was so young, the most exciting thing I had ever seen up until then.
These are really cool videos. Thanks for the history lesson!
Glad you like them!
This was great - thanks for not being afraid to show the grittier elements of LA Tim! The street-walking attitudes 00:35 and homelessness 07:52 are interesting to see, but we love your presentation and enthusiasm for the subject.
I owned and operated a private nightclub in Tucson for 9 years so seeing this video is really cool and teaches me about the many amazing clubs I never knew about. Thanks for sharing this video 🔥🤘🏽😎
Thanks my man. This vid was def a blast from the past for me. Totally fun to make.
Pandora s box is in the first episode of dragnet67.
OMG! When I have insomnia and am up at 4AM, I watch reruns on Me-TV. I GOTTA see that one!
Ironically I’m watching that season this week!
Nothing shows such as Dragnet and Adam-12 liked more than to bust long-haired hippie freaks.
Dude awesome channel 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the memories. Heres a few more as well...Madame Wongs West, The Music Machine, 14Below, The Joint, The Mint, Gazzarris, The Central, Al's Bar (lol)......
I remrmber playing a gig at Al's Bar then this skinny blonde kid comes on after us. Just him and a boombox. I'm thinking wtf is this?!? 30 years later that skinny kid is an international superstar and I'm still flipping burgers ( lol)....The kids name was Beck smh....
Awesome! I remember him going up on stage with a leaf blower.
Man, I dig your videos. Keep up the good work. I live in Southern California and I hope some days you’ll start doing some personal tours.
As far as personal tours maybe I can get someone to go to the doctor and the grocery store with me. Its about all I seem to find time for besides making the vids. Seriously though, thanks for the kind comment, it is truly appreciated!
Tim, once again an AWESOME video by someone who clearly was in this scene at the time. I miss it and I really appreciate your work to document this great music culture era in L.A.
Thanks man. It was a weirdly cathartic experience filming it. The most interesting of which was going downtown to that club, The Smell. It was just so mind-blowingly cool to see all those teenagers making really loud noises on a stage for other teenagers, just like we used to...
Great video Tim ! ! ! As much as Im not a punk rock fan you made this trip very interesting. I didnt know that the Troubador was an older club than The Whiskey or Filmore West? Anyways keep them coming. Thanks man.
Thanks much. What I always appreciated about punk was that it embodied my favorite parts of rock n roll: In your face rebelliousness and fashion.
actually "broke" into the masque in 2005 just to check out the walls - this was before the fencing, there was only a chain across the back metal door to the stairs then and was easy to squeeze in....it was when it was being used as a storage space for FULL MOON, ANCHOR BAY DVDs, but you could still see the graffiti behind the shelves
My dream! I begged the powers that be at World Of Wonder to let me go down there but being the corporate b-holes they are, I got an excessively long runaround and no tour. I've seen some old youtube vid someone did on their phone from a few years ago and then there was a Billie Corrigan video shot there about 10 or so years ago. Oh well.....
Was the Palladium, the famous Hollywood Palladium?
It was.
👍👍👍
Great job 👏. Didn’t all of Eddy Nash clubs burn down? What a coincidence. I bet he claimed bad luck
Tim, great tour of some legendary clubs! You're hitting clubs I performed at in the early '80s with The Bings. We played our first gig at The Troubadour the same week Ratt played their's. Madame Wong's East was a trip. I watched George Wong threaten the drummer of another band on the bill with a butcher's knife for gushing, "Boy, I LOVE Japanese food!" George waved the knife at him and yelled, "Japanese?? I'm CHINESE! I could kill you!" That poor kid is probably still running.
Thanks. I think I remember your band. The 80's were a great time to be a musician!
Apparently it was at Club Lingerie that Stevie Salas first spotted a young, and very green Taylor Hawkins playing with an 'average band.' Not long after that Stevie took Taylor under his wing in Sass Jordan's band. I'm enjoying your vlogs!
I vaguely remember Sass Jorden. The first time I saw Taylor was when he played with Alanis Morisette.
@@RockessentialTim What club was that at?
It wasn't at a club, it was at a concert in Toronto in about 93 I think.
If I had a time machine, I would go back to see Van Halen at The Starwood 🤘!!
I saw them several times at clubs and I have to say, the best place was The Starwood, for any band really. It was a great venue.
I only made it to Coconut Teasers in '89
89 was the Teaszer's Heyday!
It's cool to see some of the places Ive performed are still there. The Troub was special. But sad to see so many "used-to-be" cool spots evolve to a new form of basic-ness. I still have a dream of raising Club Lingerie from the dead. And I'm surprised you didn't mention what used to be The Gig down on Melrose.
Wasn't the gig formerly The Anti Club?
I remember the Starwood well
I used to hang out there quite a bit. I wish I could remember it better though!
Okay I could have sworn I saw The Police at Wong's East and now you confirmed they played there.
It was a KROQ show, I'm guessing in 78 or 79? Vague memory but there are pics online you can find.
What about Blackie’s on La Brea, The ON Klub on Sunset or the Brave Dog in DTLA???
Where did they film the music video Fall to Pieces by Velvet Revolver?
The Starwood had already been torn down for years. Maybe used a soundstage and made it look like a club?
I seen the B-52's at Madom Wongs in 78'
Now that's what I call a show!
Hey Tim, do you know anything about where Marvin Gaye lived in Hancock Park is all I know from Wikipedia. See if you can do a story on him. 👍 would be cool if you could find the house.
I worked at a Guitar Center here in Queens, New York. A co-worker of mine was from Kansas City, Missouri. He told me how his band packed up their van in the eighties from KC and headed out to LA for the big time. They were a hair band. They looked and sounded exactly like Poison. I cringed when he showed me photos but he had a beautiful pink strat with a rosewood neck, so at least that was cool.
Anyway, they were told the now famous story of how you walk up and down the strip passing out flyers. Him and his band were excited as all hell to do so until about ten minutes into it.
They found themselves in a sea of dudes from other hair bands who looked exactly like them, also passing out flyers. He suddenly realized the absurdity of the whole thing and he felt like an idiot. His band were big shots back in Missouri but are nothing in LA. Every band looked and sounded exactly alike. How do you stand out in a scene when every band is indistinguishable from one another? It was truly ridiculous.
Then grunge hit and it was back to KC.
James Brown had a joke about trying to make it in Los Angeles. He said, "You go out on a Greyhound and you come back on a stray dog".
The Rich picked Ester Wong. We performed Wongs East, and then later a lot at Wongs West.
Wong's East was a deceptively good sounding room.
It was so small and shallow that your stage volume was the room volume. That worked really well for my trio The Rich. We performed once on the bill with Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo who would later shorten their name. They did a memorable version of "California Girls" by The Beach Boys.@@RockessentialTim
@@RockessentialTimhave you seen the SoCal PBS doc "Chinatown Punk Wars"? You'd probably enjoy it if you spent time in those clubs. Cheers
Yes I did! I was a regular at Wong's and I loved the insight of the doc. Wish they'd make more like it! @@finnmcginn9931
Accurate.
Davy Jones in the first picture of the Starwood??? On the left front.
I believe so. Its been a few weeks since Ive seen it!😄
No mention of the Paladium?
Well, its not really a club but I do drive by it and give it a little screen time about 2 minutes into the vid.
No mention of The Scene, North Hollywood where Jimi Hendrix played?
Fascinating pair of videos. I was never into punk, though. The character has clearly been ripped out of the area, although pockets of coolness still survive.
LA has gotten so expensive that most of the live music scene has moved to places like Portland or Nashville where musicians can still live on a musicians budget.
@@RockessentialTim Interesting. People tend to forget that most musicians earn very little. Like writers.
Hey Tim,
Goldfingers? Sounds like you missed what it was just before it became Goldfingers. It was Hell's Gate, and yes that was its real name. A long narrow bar with a small room to watch bands behind it, and an outside for smokers. It had the worst bathrooms in Hollywood. Ladies would trash their bathroom and leave the menstrual leavings, poop and piss overflowing onto the floor, and then take over the men's bathroom, with feral females ferociously defending their friends from men. Its bands were mostly local punk, with additional weird acts like the Cacophony Society's band Imperial Butt Wizards putting on a show with so many smoke bombs you couldn't breathe. Prior to Hell's Gate's punk glory the place was a seedy disco named Max's.
In addition you barely mentioned Cafe NELA, the last hangout for punks in their 50s and 60s. Other than the omissions, good tour. -ShitEd, ex-Flipside Fanzine.
Hi Tim - how do small venus like The Baked Potato factor in the club scene for you? In the 80s and 90s I used to see some great musicians there and I understand it's still "a thing".
Pilot error, I just totally forgot about it including it which is weird cuz I live just up the street in Studio City... And you're right, its still exists!
@@RockessentialTim love it Tim - I was definitely not criticizing! Only asking purely out of interest ans curiosity.
Last show I saw there was in the early 90s and featured Greg Mathieson with a few remaining members of Toto (RIP Jeff Porcaro), Vinnie Colaiuta and another famous 80-90s session percussionist who played with Santana (ugh, name escaping me). Great night, venue - so tiny we literally sat on top of the stage awkwardly close to Greg. Next night we were nearby listening to a band of Bob Seger's backup singers - I kinda lost track of where I was, could of been one of the venues you featured! 🤪
Both my husband and I love your channel ! ♥️
@@debmurray2734 LOL I'm just sayin' I would have loved to included the Baked Potato in the vid for no other reason then I could have walked there! Glad you guys like the channel, it gets me out of the house now I'm retired.
Thanks for doing these! Btw..not seeing too many homeless people like the news reports there is?
There is still an acute homeless problem here but it has abated a bit. It took the residents here getting really really fed up before city hall took any action though. I feel bad for those poor souls but not bad enough to let them take over our parks...
My Was 666 like hahahaha lol ...
Thanks Man .. I'm from Brasil - Rio de Janeiro. :D Fantastic to know about this places, like a dream hahah. Very cool and similar Rio de Janeiro :D parallel world, but here there is no Rock, yes Samba and Funk Eletronicos :O))) I ♥LA man ... My dream go there. Land Where Hair Metal and Glam Rock Were Born as They Are. Thx 4 share. 🙏
Is there still that scene from Hard there?
The hard rock scene here is not what it used to be. Very expensive for musicians to live here so I think the metal scene is more underground than it used to be. I thought that metal was big in Brazil, no?
Then after of Industrial ... so ... more underground. I like it, but it's a shame it's not like before.
Here? Nooo too: It's the same thing here, man, we have bands like Angra, Sepultura... but once in a while, when there's Rock In Rio, it's really exciting. Nothing else afterwards. Our metal and hard bands are playing abroad, in LA and so on... Rio de Janeiro is the land of Samba and Bossa Nova... there is no Rock or Metal... except as I mentioned above. And with the presence of Ivete São Galo, who is not metal or rock, is Aché hahaha
@@LeoAdlerBrum That sucks. Music may come and go but Metal is forever. I'm not a metal head but I still like bands like Mastedon and I love Fu Man Chu. I like the "jam" band thing going on right now but its happening in smaller cities in the US like Portland and Detroit where its affordable to live.
@@RockessentialTim Coolll!!!! True... me too... It's a whole current situation, politics and conditions, right? It depends on wider media acceptance and popular interest... like an explosion, which will never again encompass. Anyway... these are other times. But interest in the style still exists. Let's pray he comes back. anyway LOL ...
"And now dare I say it is safe to walk here." Jeez, doesn't look too safe now. How bad was it? lol
No Jabberjaw on Pico?
Eddie Nash liked to take out a big fire insurance policy and then torch his own place. He did the same to Odyssey.
I lived through all that & thought it was all boring as hell! Besides RODNEYS & The Starwood!!! The Whiskey was cool in the 70s
Harvelle’s Santa Monica
Sweetwater redondo
Baked potato
That Hollywood alley where Love played
Babe and Ricky’s blues club
The Baked Potato is near my house and I forgot all about it. I also remember Harvelle's. I think Nate's Coffee Shop was next door? Long time gone--fuzzy.
A few more
Mosque
Club 88
Starwood
Blackies
Cathay de Grande
I followed the Marina Swingers around all the clubs I mentioned.
No 'Scream'?
