- This video follows the routes of Videos 13-31 & 13-33 through the Los Angeles area remixed with completely new soundtracks as one ride. FAQs and Director's Commentary are at the end of the ride at 23:01.
Thank you for these videos they really do help me I have a habit of getting in the car and driving I really get lost in your videos thank you thank you thank you
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoy them.
Your videos are the best of the immersive drive ones~no one compares IMHO! You always pick the best music to compliment the feel of the city you are showing! Since I can't travel right now due to caring for an elderly parent, I get to experience it thru your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching, glad you enjoy the videos.
Really brought back memories of the 70s for me. Gloria Gaynor's "Never Can Say Goodbye" makes me lose it every time because of some romance going on at the time. Going out to the clubs on weekends was the most fun time I've ever experienced. I would never do that now, even in the absence of a pandemic. Things change.
Thank you for watching.
The disco fit this video very well! Always a pleasure to see your videos Freewayjim!
Thank you very much!
The disco sound really added to the feel of the video.
Many thanks, that's what I was going for.
Even with this pandemic, it's nice to see these videos and gives me something to look forward to. Stay safe down there and look forward to more videos in the future.
Thank you, I will be taking a break until later in the summer.
@@Freewayjim Stay safe
Very well put! :-)
I'm not at all a fan of disco music but it fits the video perfectly.
Seeing thew LA skyline for the first time is an awesome experience. I remember when I went there in 2017 when I saw the LA skyline in the distance on the bus ride from LAX to Downtown from high up on the ramp in the Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange. Such an amazing experience.
Thank you very much and I appreciate your objectivity with the music, it's all about what fits yet many people get caught up in their own tastes that they lose sight of that, and yes LA is an amazing experience indeed.
WOW! This brought back a lot of memories of my high school days the music was great memories of going to dances. I also traveled through all the freeways on the video and a few more.
Awesome! Thank you for watching.
Disco is appreciated now because it uses REAL instruments and voices. I've driven a truck for 28 years and 2 roads that I have enjoyed are in PA. US322 from Harrisburg to State College and US15 from Selinsgrove south along the river to Harrisburg. There is a new highway being built from Selinsgrove north. Maybe keep it on the bucket list for later. Be safe!
I think so too with regard to Disco.
Best drive videos on youtube
Thank you very much!
thank you for saving me the time of getting stuck in traffic - and thanks for all my favorite disco songs. I now have Yowzah Yowzah Yowzah stuck in my head.
LOL, Thank you for watching!
The soundtrack of this remix fits well. Your first time in Greater L.A. back in 2013 was great for you to record footages of it's amazing highways. Well done.
Thanks
Sorry I missed the visual I danced the entire video 😂
LOL!
slice! You're absolutely right.
omg me too
I love your dusk to dark videos, they're propa relaxinggg
Thank you!
Same here! I love watching them at night, with the lights out!
Me too
Beautiful, beautiful SoCal! Much love for the S.F. Valley. You'll always be home.
I thoroughly enjoyed the disco mix and the nighttime drive through LA! Well done and thank you! Greetings from Savannah, GA.!!👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you very much!
Finally able to watch it without interruption- nice ride- I always liked LA freeways myself and all- had the privilege of riding them in 1990 when I was out there on a vacation with my aunt! Nice ride- love the dusk to dark- the lit up LA skyline, the lights, especially loved seeing the Vincent Thomas Bridge again as I always liked suspension bridges like that- nice to see that one again! Nice ride my friend- and also good commentary at the end- I look forward to seeing what you do down the road later in the summer!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Dear friend. I hope you read this message. I am a brazilian engineer, 59 yo, and I think we must be from the same "generation", I do not know, but I presume. Congratulations for this wonderful, amazing video, driving in LA, specially because of the music (I've danced a lot when I was young). God bless you. From a distante "friend". Sorry for my "poor" english....rs
Thank you very much, I am a few years younger than you, glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for the comment.
My lord you really know how to capture a mood. I'm a little bit older than you and I remember driving to the clubs of West Hollywood listening to Donna Summer. LA was fascinating back then but now is better because the air is so much cleaner. Driving past the towers of Downtown back then thick clouds of dirty air could be seen drifting in-between the buildings.
I REALLY appreciate that, thank you! There are many past era's that I would have loved to see LA in, such a fascinating place.
@@Freewayjim When I say dirty air I mean lead oxide. Yes that is what we breathed through out the 60s and 70s. Was it like that where you grew up?
@@jameshanson3759 No, I'm originally from New Hampshire.
@@FreewayjimThe mountains that you have mentioned in past vids could not be seen ever, except right after a rain. Lead Oxide affects the brain and learning among other things. LA really is better now. Now you know why California gave us the modern environmental movement. It had to be done.
Mr. Jim you are awesome. I really love your videos and the your musical choices and how informative you present your videos. I live in L. A. and showed me things I hadn't noticed before. Again you and the Mrs are awesome. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment and for watching, glad you enjoy the videos.
Great move at 6:33. Gutsy. Love the disco soundtrack. Especially where MacArthur Park kicks in as the skyline is on the screen. Good stuff, Jim. Love the effect at 18:05
Thanks, lol I was just taking it all in and that exit snuck up on me, glad you liked the soundtrack, syncs, and effects.
This is my first time seeing this footage. I loved the music; I am 55 now and grew up with that good disco music during my preteens.
Thank you and we are about the same age, grew up with it too.
Wow, I haven't heard 'MacArthur Park' by Donna Summer in decades.
I loved this video!! Well. I love all your videos, but this one was really fun!! The music was perfect!! I almost forgot to watch the video, I was dancing so much. I love the music information and history you give. The effects in the video was super fun too!! I have to catch up on the others. You take us on trips most of us may not be fortunate to take. Thanks Jim!!! Be safe & we'll see you when you return.
Thank you very much for watching and the kind comment, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Jim! Thanks for your posts. Amazing! During this time of pandemic, this is the first time I have had the opportunity to to visit your page with frequency. Love the sense of movement and the ability to visit and/or revisit favorite spots. As one commenter mentioned along the lines that this gives us something to look forward to. Enjoy the time down and look forward to future content. Cheers!
Thank you very much for the kind comment and for watching!
Traffic not to bad. Like the soundtrack and special effects and dusk setting of the video.
Thank you!
This was the best era for music
Indeed, I enjoyed growing up with it.
love disco... we're about the same age..
thanks for the drive and memories
Thank you for watching and for the comment.
Not my first choice in music but very enjoyable with the drive. Nice mix!
Always fun when the traffic moves. Heh.
Thanks! Looking forward to more.
Thank you, that's all I'm after, does it fit, I try not to use the same genre of music for every video.
Freewayjim
If subs and comments are any indication, you’re doing fantastic.
Thank you for doing what you do.
Great trip! Thanks, Jim!
Thank you!
A freeway exit on the left, thats unheard of
Not really, there were many built across the country in the 1950s and '60s, and Connecticut has several.
Thank you for this Jim. It brought me a lot of joy!
Thanks, I am glad to hear that.
Wow!!!! The video !! ...... The music!!..... I wanna cry, laugh, dance, scream at the same time and COUNT IT ALL JOY!!! I wish I could be transported back to California during the time of the soundtrack. Thank you for reminding me life ain't so bad after all ❤️
Thank you for the kind commenrt, so glad you enjoyed the video, I had a blast driving that night.
Love this video and the music brought back memories. Music was great!!! Truly enjoyed it. Thanks
Thank you very much!
Great work on this one Jim......I am one that thinks disco was great although I was very young when it was on the radio......You can't beat LA at dusk with a disco soundtrack.
Thank you very much!
I felt like I listened to one of those old K-tel records while watching this video (remember those?!)! 💃🏻🕺🏻
LOL, yes I do! TC commercials ingrained don my mind.
Back in the day... (oh no, here comes a long story)... I'll refrain from most of the old Disco stories I had from the '70's... You get older & wiser & more forgiving & realize that maybe Disco wasn't so bad after all. It works like a charm in this video! Ca 110 looks ENGAGING! (I haven't driven it yet). It's officially on my to-do list if and when we get back out to L.A.
LOL! Thank you and excellent point, yeah you'd enjoy 110, definitely worth doing.
@@Freewayjim Yup, the 110 is definitely a must-do if you're in LA. I drove it last summer (still haven't gotten to that video yet!) and it was pretty awesome. Loved the Arroyo Seco Parkway as well as the big huge interchange with I-105.
I'm suprised you filmed it again thanks Jim!
The best ever video/audio mix @19:16 ! Freeway Jim is THE MAN!
Thank you very much!
I've only just got round to watching this one and thoroughly enjoyed it. The highlights for me were I-405 coming downhill on the pass, the Pasadena Freeway and the disco soundtrack. LA is huge isn't it? I think your video here proves that. Keep up the good work (after your break from it that is).
Thank you very much Steve, yeah LA is a pretty big place.
You hit a home run with the soundtrack! I, too, wasn't paying attention at times because I was too busy jamming. 😁
Thank you very much!
Great music
Thank you!
This was a excellent video 📹👏👌! Very relaxing 😌
Thank you!
Loved this. I thought the music was just fine for this. I too like different genres of music and was in my early 20s during the disco era and remember dancing to all of them songs, lol. Stay safe and enjoy your time off.
Thank you for the comment and for watching, stay safe.
@@Freewayjim Thanks👍
Disco Stu loves this disco tour. What was that groovey move onto the 47. We called that a California lane change.
Thank you!
@@Freewayjim What is great about the first 7 minutes, other than Donna Summer, is you see the entire history of the freeway system on the 110, from L.A.'s original Pasadena Fwy (arroyo seco pkwy) built before the war, to the 4 level interchange built after the war, to the 105 / 110 stack jtc. The southern california freeway system is a feat in engineering, when you look at it.
@@kevinfestner6126 Excellent point!
Great work as always Jim 🙂
Thank you!
6:33 Wow! That was a very dangerous driving maneuver you made to the exit on an LA freeway!
It was not as bad as it looked on sped-up video, there was nobody close to me.
Thanks for the great ride
Thank you for watching!
@@Freewayjim your welcome
Nice background music, Superb Video Thank you
Thank you!
One of my favorite freeway jim videos ever let's boogie
LOL, Thank you!
greetings from Italy...... ciao ragazzi!
Thank you!
Wow, I miss LA!!! Being from San Diego; I've only been up there twice. It's beautiful there and I sure would love to visit again sometime soon.
Great video of the drive 👌👍
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your fanastic vids. I love driving along with you espacially in "the groove". I love your carpet too. Kinda cosey. Here in Germany most people hate carpets and like to have cold feet LOL. I don't ! :D
LOL, Thank you very much!
Great video as always and I loved the choice of music
I can’t wait until you get back
Thank you very much!
I remember all those songs. I'm an old man.
Congrats on 46K Subs!
nice drive, Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Thanks for watching!
cool video Jim! As someone interested in the bass guitar, I've always admired and really "homed in on" disco bass lines, and all these songs has a very well-crafted one! I can only hope to learn to play well enough to even play something like that. LOL
Thank you! Yeah Disco offers some fun bass lines for sure.
GTA 5 graphics has improved very much, almost realistic ^^
Excellent job Jim!
Thank you!
The first FJ video that made me break out my old disco ball. :)
Cool!
Excellent work Mr Jim. Hello from Mexico
My son loves your videos and he is a really true fan of freewayjim since he was 5 years old, he is 9 now.
I don't know how to thank you that because your videos my son knows now a lot of good music and I hope he can love the good music and not be "catched" with the poor music from today.
Since he was born I really wanted to show him the music but not idea of how to do it and not be annoying. Thanks.
We traveled to USA a couple of times during this past years and the most exciting thing for my son was to see the blocked videos(some videos can not be seen in Mexico) of freewayjim and travel through the same roads
If possible I would like to send you a private message or email from my son. Thanks again
Thank you very much, glad you and your son enjoy the channel and the music. I have an email address at the very end of the video.
Driving around Los Angeles, at night, was always been a relaxing experience for me...UNLESS it was on the interstate, on a Friday rush hour evening, during a heavy rain. Nope. If I ever go back o LA, that rule stands.
PS - I loved the "COVID-19" series, Jim. They only make my wanderlust stronger than ever, especially since I haven't left the house since March.
This reminds me of my teenage time.
Your videos are awesome! Also I loved the soundtrack 😉
Thank you very much!
I was here for it and I love it... Soundtrack and all! I moved the whole video💃🏽😄
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
That last track sounded a lot like Joey McIntyre's "Give It Up"... Lol. Music is the same actually, just the lyrics are different. Great video as always Jim.
Thank you!
Good concept - enjoyed it immensely, and ditto what "M" said below. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Thanks 😊 for making all these good videos
Took me back to my childhood / teen years too, especially the Donna Summer tunes. There's another MacArthur Park in Little Rock, AR where I live; not many cakes left out in the rain (the Richard Harris and even Waylon Jennings versions had that nonsense too -- what was Jimmy Webb thinking?), but it includes the former U.S. Army arsenal building where Gen. Douglas MacArthur (also the namesake of LA's park) was born. I just graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's William H. Bowen School of Law, which is right next door to MacArthur Park; my virtual graduation was posted to TH-cam this weekend. I'll be spending your hiatus studying for the bar exam. 😁
That is an odd lyric indeed. Congrats on your graduation and good luck with your bar exam.
loved it , love a bit of disco , the seventies and eighties were the best:)
Thank you! yes I still have a soft spot for it too.
We having a 70's disco drive, Freewayjim!
Great video. Loved the music.
Thank you!
Very nice soundtrack.
Thank you!
Very nice. Thank you.
Thanks Owen!
6:40 Coolest bridge approach ever.
What a fun soundtrack!
Thank you!
Loved the music!
Thank you!
Have you watched the Brady Bunch, Freewayjim?
LOL, I grew up watching it back in the 70s.
Whoever said disco sucks? Perfect fit for this video, with some classics I haven't heard in years. I just wish that the politicians weren't trying so hard to push California into the ocean, otherwise I'd miss it much more. Anyways, thanks for another trip down memory lane with a tuneful soundtrack.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and the tunes.
Nice vid. I admire the soundtrack.
Thank you!
Thank you for the first 10 videos, I am looking forward to the "second half" of the 2020 season. Everybody is scrambling to find alternatives to for what they intended to do. Even the better attempts come off as a substitute for the real thing. Not your 2020 series.
I appreciate that very much, thank you!
Good job like always
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
i remember the first time i drove into LA.. i see using signals has become more socially acceptable... 20 years ago it was considered a sign of weakness...
LOL!
Thank you for watching jim
awesome video
Thank you!
Los Angeles freeways aren't for the weak, and LA has an impressive skyline.
Yes and yes.
Great concept, love the music. However I think it would be even much more immersing if you included the actual ambience sound, even at fast speed, as a low background sound.
Thanks, but no it wouldn't, radio sounds and my personal conversations would not enhance the video ion any way.
@@Freewayjim was referring to sounds of cars n outdoors only
@@stargazer3284 How can I possibly do that when I have the radio/music on and am having a conversation with the person/people with me? If you want outdoor sounds then I'd have to turn the radio off, be quiet and put the windows down which, guess what? would drown it all out with the sound of the wind at 65+ MPH. Even if I did do all that I'd have to do the videos in real-time speed or the "Natural Sounds" wouldn't make sense, and that would be anything but immersing, no thanks, I think the channel does pretty well the way it is.
Love the video
Thank you!
Very Good!
Thank you!
Nice soundtrack 👍
Thank you!
QUE SAUDADE DESSA MÚSICA OUVI MUITO ESSA MÚSICA MARAVILHOSA
trivia factoid: the bridge at 6:55 is used in, and fits into the background of, many scenes of "To Live and Die in LA" :)
As well as "Gone In 60 Seconds" (both versions) and other movies.
I've heard of the song called hot stuff
It was a huge hit in 1979, #1 for three weeks in a row. Those were my early teen years, good times!
Nice video! When you get to New York can you pls do Verrazano bridge video upper level at night ?
Can’t wait until GTA looks this good.
Have you ever been to iowa
Yes but not much of it, just I-29 north passing through from KC to Omaha in 2013, ate lunch in Council Bluffs. I've been to all 48 contiguous states.
