No Laughing Lady …….the true mascot of Playland …………shame on you

I would kill to have this on Apple Music

I’m from British Columbia. I never knew this existed.

I grew up going there as a 10 to 12yr old. Would even take the bus out there from Westlake by myself. That Fun House was the best. Sad they did not rebuilt it and save it. Now just ugly condos.

who knows where are you now mr Bobby ??

it's easy to destroy and very hard to build. the way we live on earth. it's sad

Clown Burger at 3 am.

Played there many times, got drunk there many more, R.I.P. Ian, miss you.

More PLAYLAND LESS HATE

Ah, the days of Blums, The Filmore,Meet me at the clock, City of Paris, Picking out my china at Gumps....

Missing you Bobby Castro! Rest in peace bro!

Almost passed out started seeing stars from the crowd being packed like sardines during Dead Kennedys show! 🙃

Fantastic video dude...good times !

Lovely work, and the Damned's mellower music fits this video poem well. I shared this on the Facebeef group "Mabuhay Gardens - The Fab Mab"

ive watched this 20 times now...never fail to get choked up...Michael Ried and I were there every weekend...the Flamin Grooves hosted all the young bands..Tux Moon,Neg Trend..party at the Hole after...too drunk to fuck

Watching this brought back the musty smell of the place. 70's ragweed, unwashed leather and dust.

Great shots here, tons of people I know. Love the photos of Jak, too. The baby Guerreros! Top notch, Bobby.

This is really nice, thanks for making it Bobby!

Great photos ❤ I was there ‘84 to ‘88 playing music and I remember these gals. A wild era 🎉

Very cool. Someone really needs to make a quality documentary about the Mab.

Yeah you forgot the Rock Against Racism Clash show. The Buzzcocks and Gang of Four, Levi and the Rockets, Specials, reggae shows and many, many others. I have a bunch of pics I took there.

Spent many a night there. Dirk, Ness, Cosmo and the guys behind the bars. I also took tons of photos there for Creep and Maximum Rocknroll mags. Good times.

Margaret Cho in that one photo

Thank Feinstein for having it torn down. Her husband was the one who had development interest in our Playland. He built Condos most Native San Franciscans could not afford then or now...

OMG I was there.. a girl named Sugar..

Sad who got there first beer at Bogganos how about you first clams on the the half shell “””””””””"”

We were the lucky ones we grew up with Playland

Growing up in far Rockaway you grew a set of ball or you moved to long laand

Kind of sad. But the neighbors must have loved the silence.

Since this closed from what I read Labor Day, 1972, I so wish they would’ve filmed an episode from the (Streets of San Francisco) here. I think the show came out in 72’ so that means this place was up and running probably while they were filming the show for the first year.

What a gorgeous venue, damn.

I was there and at the Mab. Thanks.❤

I did sound there. 1974 to 1982. Ness and Dirk and all of us. Punk rock rules.❤

Skee Ball, Fun House, Hot House. My memories.

Grew up with Playland & the beach. From Port Chester.

Too too sad can't watch this breaks my heart and makes me cry 😢

Almost too sad.... having spent my childhood at 26th and Balboa...I remember all of this, never thinking that it would end. Thank you for a lovely few minutes and a return to a time when things were so much more innocent and safe. Great video!!!!

Bobby's heart and soul is in this video. He was a PUNK DISCIPLE in the most sacred meaning of that word.

i WENT TO THE "cLOSING" @ pLAYLAND :-)

Beautiful video. So evocative of a certain time and place….

One night before a show I was walking down a side street and the cars that belonged to the people killed at Jonestown were all parked in a lot. It was a great place to see bands

66 years old. Spent many fun nights here and other clubs. Nice memories. Thanks for this.

This is hard to watch. I have memories of Playland as a small child. My mother went there when she was a child too!

Double middle fingers to the real estate agents on here.

Great fucking time of life. A lot of memories. Thanks for the video!

Broke my heart to watch. Went many times in 2nd half of 60's. It had seen better days by late '60s. Seedy characters running around and employed there. Last time we went on Diving Bell, operator kept us under for a long time. Still have two slot cars we raced on tracks. Also have Chronicle special supplement when it closed in '72.

i will never forget that diving bell it was creepy going on that

Beautiful sad video 👍🏼

'All good things must come to an end' Playland at the beach, Sutro's baths, Sutro's heights, Sutro's Cliff house, Golden Gate park, S.F Zoo etc.. Sad days when nobody seems to care anymore about what we grew up with and having it all disappear right before the camera lens. too bad more people didn't care and it could've lasted a lot longer for a new generation to enjoy.

This made me cry. Utterly beautiful.
