Good job man.I was there in 71& 72. Went to Asylum almost daily with Glenn. First trip out there Glenn was living with Henley. Linda & JD lived on Gower behind Capital records. The next year, Glenn was living with Paul Ahern( later to become Bostons manager). I was at Don house that was on stilts, spooky. Great view
Thank you! Especially cuz it was a bit of a wild goose chase tracking down that Henley house on stilts. I'm guessing that you're Glenn's younger brother? I'm from Detroit myself and I've loved him ever since I realized it was his voice drowning out everybody else on the chorus of Ramblin' Gamblin' Man! Would have loved to have been part of that scene but missed it by a couple years...
Honoured to give a thumb to Glenn Frey's brother. He has been inspiring uncountable numbers of people and is one of the reasons why I became an English teacher. Respect from France
Such a fantastic band that just got better and more amazing over the years.I can’t imagine life without the Eagles music growing up.Thank you to all of them,and R.I.P. Glenn.👏🏻👏🏻🎸
Wow Alan thanks for chiming in. What a cool special experience hanging out in that place with those talented people in that time period. My wife are in big fans of your brother. Wishing you all the best!! Brian
Just heard the news about Randy Meisner. I always felt like he was the great unsung hero of the band. He was a great bassist, no one was more solid, but his high harmony vocals gave them a sound like nobody else. RIP Randy. You will be missed
Incredible journey. We were at the Troubadour the night that Linda took an intermission, explaining that her band was going on their own. The lights dimmed, and then on stage the lights came on and 5 guys in the most radiant red satin bomber jackers stood with their backs to the audience. Emblazzoned on the back of the jackets in gold letters, was "Eagles". They played Witchy Woman and Take It Easy...when the finished you could hear a pin drop. As was a sound no one had ever heard of rich harmonies. Oh what a night it was
That had to be the last time the Eagles looked like actual performers. Every time I saw them on TV they looked like the kind of school punks you avoided,
I've been a die hard Eagles fan for 52 years. It's very hard to see them without Glenn but harder not to see them at all. God bless them and God Speed Glenn. Thanks for this video, I appreciate your work.❤️
Seems like everyone moved around alot. I was in Orange County in that era. LA was certainly ground zero for music back then. We'll never see the likes of such a scene or it's resulting music, ever again. Thank you for fleshing out the spaces and places. It makes it all the more real, tangible and poignant. God bless!
Sooo true. Very many now that believe the 90's was the best music ever, but that cant be possible when you look at big picture nothing comes close to the 60s early 70s.
I can't tell you how many times I used to stare at the inside cover photo of Hotel California, examining every inch, don't know what I was expecting to find, the mystery was continuous for me! First time I've ever seen the inside of the Lido. Very cool! Hard to believe the Eagles are celebrating 50 yrs. The Eagles have been my favorite band since '74. Love your video💙
@@RockessentialTim Exactly! Buying an album was like purchasing a book, with music. I would read every inch of the album credits, from lyrics, to who played which instrument, to lead vocals, harmonies, who produced the album and where. Everything. Sometimes even the inside of the album itself had neat, clever sayings etched in the vinyl. One Eagles album (maybe On The Border?) said "He who hesitates is lunch" ! Anyway, albums are treasures, and some of the album cover art/photos are classics, and part of our culture, worthy of framing. Sorry for my lengthy comment.... Hotel California, with the music and front/inside cover photos, like you said, is iconic. Yes, I love records. Especially the EAGLES✌️
Seriously ? Is this the only concert you have ever attended ? Good Grief you need to get out more if you actually believe this - or are you kin to one of them ? That's the only way this would make sense -
Hey, I'm from Detroit and if your interested I made this video about it last summer when I visited. th-cam.com/video/d1-ojtbfj1Q/w-d-xo.html Greatest music city in the world!
Hiking4Life Man has it been 50 years since Hotel California came out .? Where has time/my life gone.? As being a native of Southern California I always thought the song Hotel California was a kind of state of mind song if that makes any sense. I may not live California anymore but watching your videos makes me feel like I never left. I get to "see" some of my past. Thanks for doing these.
Yes, that makes perfect sense to me. I was an East Coast "transplant" in the early 70s, and the line "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" really captured the feeling. You could "check out" on any number of substances, but God forbid you could never leave! No - it was the home, the life, we had come to find.
Love these videos. I’ve always been fascinated with the LA music scene of the 60s and 70s. And you’re featuring my faves - Petty and the Eagles. Thank you!
Great stuff Tim, the original Troubadour club was in London, Doug Weston saw it when he was visiting there,the sign from the London club was brought to LA and used there,the London Troubadour club is still open today with good music, in the Earls Court area ,worth a visit.
What is SO COOL is, I grew up off Laurel Canyon and have been to so many of these places and know all the streets. Hollywood music scene was my playground starting in 81’. Though I’d give anything to have been old enough in 71’! Watching this was like being home again. Next time I’m in So. Cal I definitely plan on doing the 10 location tour!
@@RockessentialTim I actually took a road trip from WA to CA last October to see the Eagles 15th & 16th! A girlfriend and I drove down together for the shows and I took her to see some of the spots you featured here, Troubadour, drives through Laurel Canyon, Rainbow, Roxy, Beverly Hills Hotel, Malibu. We are planning another trip down in September… like I said, going to hit your list. I do miss living there! I also lived on the Studio City side! ❤️🔥 🦅🦅EAGLES 4-EVER🦅🦅❤️🔥
Right? After finishing it, I'm glad I got the information I never knew about---but also sad that I got the information. It ruined music for me in a BIG, BIG way.
@@thejawshop-AdventureRecording True. As you probably have experienced, I have had that feeling when alone in an old recording studio. Talk about lightning bolts, I had a friend back in the day who was a 2nd at Sound City and when everybody was gone in the wee hours we would go back into the library and grab a 24 track and throw it on. I remember we once put up Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Some of the best musical history that this music history dweeb has ever seen. Thanks for filling the visuals to so many books we've all read. Regards from Nashville
I heard they were great. I wonder who's going to replace Deacon now though? I haven't seen them since the 70's at Anaheim stadium I believe it was, but I am going to see Dylan at the Pantages in June.
@@RockessentialTim At first I thought “what are you taking about Deacon leaving?” learned that he’s leaving the Eagles due to an undisclosed illness. I wish him the best.
Love love love your locations videos! I like they way you tell stories/facts from the past! I was lucky enough to see the eagles in 2016 with jimmy Buffett in Orlando! Also was mere feet away from jd southers magical skills in 2017 when he played with Buffett at la cigale in Paris! Keep making awesome videos!
Funny, but I felt the same way while making this vid. Especially the Lido Hotel and the Beverly Hills Hotel--I had never been to either before this. If you ever get the chance though, I would highly suggest dinner at Dan Tana's. Best Italian food in LA!
Wow that awesome man thanks. Beautiful roads and neighborhoods over there in LA! I always wondered where the hotel lobby was from on the Hotel California album and the little fun fact about David Cassidy's qualude bottle. 🤣✌
The Lido hotel neighborhood has come up a lot over the past few years but I still don't know if I'd be walking the dog at night there. The lobby definitely had a nefarious vibe and my grandson who was with me couldn't wait to leave after I talked about the shadowy figure in the balcony.
@@RockessentialTim I live on the East Coast but i was stationed in San Diego when i was in the Navy from 1988-1992 , i really enjoyed California and i definitly want to take my nephew to see the parts of LA and San Diego...it would really blow his mind! 👍
I love these tours you do,I can watch them over and over. This is some cool stuff! I guess I’ve already told you that, but you know what...I’ll tell you again next month🍻know what else...PeaceOut😆!
It's funny I thought the Hotel California in Palm Springs was were that came from, its not obviously but it looks the part. Thanks man The Eagles are for sure my favorite band of all time.
EXCELLENT VIDEO; WELL DONE: So sad, to see the memories of the canyon we all traveled through to get from BEN FRANK'S restaurant for at least twenty years, to geT back to the San Fernando Valley's Ventura Blvd and Studio City.. there was a famous guitar store on the corner , can't remember the name of it.
Just found this. Obviously worth watching, seeing it's The Eagles. I had no idea that Browne had originally written 'Take It Easy'. Or at least, almost written it. And I didn't know Frey and Henley played together in Ronstadt's backing band. An educational eleven minutes for me.
great Video i’ve read and heard all the stories but i grew up on the East Coast and never really got to go through the infamous LaurelCanyon or actually California ingeneral i was out there but at that time i had a Wife and smallChildren so my obligations were to keep them happy and Entertained i’ve been a big Fan of the Eagles and most of the other Regulars Associated with the Troubadour the Qualude bottle was a good funny here is another kind of Funny about Qualudes in General i grew up inSouthFlorida where i graduated High School and lived Off and On for many years , although in my early 20s my thenWife and I decided to move toMaryland to raise a family and i wound up having a great Career and lived there for almost 30 years i made some great Freinds and one of them is a guy that was Born and Raised inBaltimore in the late 60s and early 70s he was basically a Hippie who did wind up cruising America with his now wife of many years in a Van he Customized with living quaters and accomodations he also had a Buddybthat built a hand Press out of Metal that they could make Qualudes for themselves to use and /or for sale and Distribution now a couple of his Buddies in that Business Venture took it upon themselves to keep up with the demands and changes in the illegal Drug Trade ,Sales and Manufaturing so naturally in the late 1970s and into the 1980s they shifted intoMarajuana thenCocaine so they also wound up moving toSouthFlorida and buying big Waterfront MansionsinThe Florida Keys and my Buddy who had known those Characters his entire Life would go down on Vacations to hang out as a Guest and of course to Party Ironically he also remembered that hand crafted Qualude Press being at one of those guys homes inKey Largo of course it had the Legendary 714 somit would produce Realistic Counterfeits well over the Years that Press went missing and everyone just scratched their heads Fast Foward to the 1990s and was living inFlorida again and i ran into a guy i knew years before but hadn’t seen in like 25 years Well we were Partying and Jamming together at some House Party we both wound up at and Stories came up of different groups of people we knew from decades earlier and of those times Well my Buddy brought up Qualudes and how they were tied into the Music World BTW he was a Session Guitarist for many years at Citeria Studios inMiami which was where Robert Stigwood had all his Acts Recording like Clapton,The BeeGees , Olivia NewtonJohn , and a few others and my Buddy that worked at Criteria in the 70s and 80s mentioned he was at some House Party years ago and Traded some Music Equipment for a Qualude Press because he knew the Musicians would pop them like Candy plus he thought the thing was just Cool he totally admitted to me that with all the Spring Break Tourism he and some other guys would crush up Asprins and stamp them to look like a Qualude then sell them in Bars to tourists they would never see again yes it was a Scumbag thing to do but he said they sold them like crazy for 4 bucks a pill apparently as fast as they could make them as thousands of young Collegecage Students would spend Weeks living inHotels Drunk out of their minds on their Spring Breaks then would go back to their home States and Schools well that guy i know still has the Press in his possesion and of Course Qualudes are no,longer a desired Drug for RecreationalPurposes and most of the Younger people don’t even know what they are i just thought it was funny that two Drinking and Fishing Buddies could solve a 40 year old Mystery despite we grew up in different times and a thousand miles away from each other now besides that Music Connection i had with that freind of mine We also ran in the same Circles in the Marina and Boat Trade which is how he actually wound up meeting all those guys fromBaltimore origibnally because they used a Marina to keep severalBoats they used to bring Cocaine into the United States coming fromSouthAmerica at one point it went to the Bahamas and needed to be sent toMiami for Sale and Distribution
Thank you for this little tour you’ve assembled here. The background music to it was killer too! I read Linda’s book and of course she talked about when she, Kimmel and Kenny lived together in the beginning. Then after J.D. put the moves on her and she made him a PB&J for their first date, they’d listen to Sinatra’s Only The Lonely record. She talked about hearing Jackson working on songs so I’d imagine she lived near that house on stilts that was mentioned here. Anyway, thanks for the tour. It’s good to put eyes on these abode’s that I’ve only read about. Just subscribed too!
Thank for the kind words. Your comment has special meaning cuz I'm currently working on a vid about Linda and was just down to that house on Hart Avenue that she lived with Kimmel and Kenny Edwards yesterday. Anyway, these tours make a great excuse to talk about music and that's a good thing.
I’m very grateful of your efforts. It avoids me from flying 3,000 miles to California and try to find all these locations! My next request was actually gonna be on Kenny. I’m fascinated by this guy. Like a John Paul Jones was to Zeppelin, Kenny and Andrew for that matter were very much like this to Linda’s band. Not much has been written about Kenny and I’d love to learn more about him: his knowledge and musical training, family, instruments etc... I see him with a ‘64 Jazz Bass in all of his time with Linda and would love to know where that bass resides today, given his far too soon and early death. It’s such a shame that he and Andrew are gone now.
I was really rather unaware of him before prepping for my new vid. He's fantastic. I didn't know that he and Andrew were gone. Damn. I have a Musicman Sterling and a 90's P bass that I will have till they bury me.
Unfortunately yes, they are no longer among the living. Look up Linda’s concert film from Offenbach, Germany 1976 on TH-cam. It’s wonderful! Waddy Wachtel, Don Grolnick, Brock Walsh, Dan Dugmore, Mike Botts (Bread) and the others are all present. It was by far her best lineup.
@@luvbasses5487 I will. I did a studio gig for Waddy back in the 90's. Played harmonica for him on Gilby Clark's solo record that he produced. He didn't say much...
Steppenwolf band members lived in Laurel Canyon, bassist, Nick St. Nicholas lived just down the road from Jim Morrison. Steppenwolf, front man, John Kay, lived in Nichols Canyon just down the road from Frank Zappa that lived in Laurel Canyon on Woodrow Wilson Drive. John's daughter, Shawn, was a friend of Moon & Dweezil Zappa.
I love your channel! I lived in Huntington Beach and Sanna Babylon in the 80's, but never spent much time in LA, such a cool town. Shakeytown, right Jackson? I am a music freak and into every single person you have ever mentioned on your blasts. Fugging excellent. Thank you.
Stone Canyon Band's bassist, Randy Meisner went on to the Eagles and Glenn Frey, Don Henley and occasionally Bernie Leadon were all in Linda Ronstadt's band at one time or another. BTW: Where they good when you saw them?
I'd love to see you do a video about any of the bands of the sunset strip of the '80s. You know, like Motley Crue, Poison, Guns and Roses , Warrant, Dokken, Ratt, etc. That was one of the greatest and most exciting eras Hollywood and the Sunset strip has ever seen! Maybe some kind of walking tour or something? I really like your videos. So informative you do a great job. And you definitely know a lot about music. I can relate.
Where do you start though? I was a fringe member of the 80's Sunset scene and I knew a lot of those guys personally. I'm not sure if that clouds things or not. But I will say this, GNR's Appitite was one of the top 10 records ever made.
@@RockessentialTim Well since the Crue had a hit movie and them and Poison are doing the stadium tour coming up. Maybe something about the places the Crue hung out and lived, etc.? They lived off the strip somewhere.
Great video, very interesting, you.must have really done your homework. I'm in the UK but always wanted to visit LA, but I think I'll pass on the $45 burger.😉 Do you do official tours.
That burger price was from a year ago, its probably 50 by now! I live in LA and am retired from my job and I do these vids for the fun of it🙂 so I'll leave the official tours to someone younger...
You ought to consider a video about Topanga Canyon. Linda Ronstadt lived right next door to Gary Hinman who was the first victim of the Manson Family. She said she wasn't home that night or they might have come after her. Right across the street from her house was the stone house pictured on the back of her Hand Sown album. It was also featured on a Byrds album. She said that area had a bad vibe. And speaking of bad vibes she later moved to Brentwood where she was in the same hood as Nicole Brown Simpson. They would often run into each other while walking their dogs. You know the rest of the story.
Hey, thanks for the info. I've been up there once to film Neil's home studio. It was steep! Have been trying to pin down Linda's address on Wonderland where she lived with Jerry Brown for years but can't seem to find it. If you come accross it, let me know...
@@RockessentialTim Linda moved to her house at #38 Malibu Colony (aka 23674 Malibu Colony Rd) in 1975, after the release and success of HLAW. In 1980, she moved from Malibu Colony to the house at 241 N Rockingham (Brentwood). Those were the years she was mostly involved with Jerry Brown. Are you talking about this Wonderland? th-cam.com/video/IXTHOMlrd4Q/w-d-xo.html Malibu was where she lived when this interview took place. Ronstadt recounts a time during the winter of 1979 when she was “keeping company” with the then-41-year-old governor when a series of winter storms threatened to wipe out her Malibu Colony home. “The newspapers had begun to speculate on whether the governor was going to spend state money to protect his girlfriend’s house,” Ronstadt writes. Before that, between 1970 and 1973, she moved to an apartment in Beechwood Canyon with JD Souther. I believe the apartment was the upstairs unit of the house at 2595 N Beechwood. Harry Dean Stanton lived above the garage, behind the house, at the time. JD and Linda parted ways during this period, and he moved to another place nearby (maybe the house at 2400 N Gower).
@@RockessentialTim from huffpost 04 04 11 Peter Choate-Designed Brentwood Home For $6.25 Million By Nicole Larson excerpt A fun blast from the past: a1979 People Magazine article notes that when Choate was commissioned to do the renovations for celeb Linda Ronstadt’s Malibu property, Choate remembered that “Governor Brown sneaked around a lot” around the home.
@@robtempe Thank you so much for this. I was planning on doing something on Linda in the future, perhaps after I'm finished with my current project. Did you collect this info from any specific source or just all around research?

There is a book "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" by Dave McGowan which talks about a lot of this, but in great depth and is rather dark.
Yes, there was a hidden hand behind the whole scene there.
I can admit that I ran away from Hollywood, back in '77.
The entertainment industry attracts all kinds, unfortunately.

Some of the best musical history that this music history dweeb has ever seen. Thanks for filling the visuals to so many books we've all read. Regards from Nashville
Right on, it was my total pleasure to film!
Cool Tim, Rock on.
Great video, I love these vid's on the 60's and 70's music scene as those bands and the locations are so iconic.
Rest in Peace, Randy Meisner ❤
Wow! Blows my mind! The output of info! Insightful!🥂🥂🍾🍺🍸
A great ride here - a great tour! Thanks!
Thanks.
Very cool! Eagles are my favorite band and criminally underrated IMHO. Love seeing spots I've only read about on video here.
Thanks. I love going to spots that I've only read about and luckily, these were in my own backyard...
Producer George Martin of the Beatles once said that the Moody Blues were "criminally underrated",
Thank you for this AMAZING tour! I absolutely love this video.
Right on! It was a total blast to make.
Really nice work
Enjoy this very much
Great work, nice to see all these historic locations in one well-organized video.
Amazing! These are my FAVORITE videos of yours! Thank you 👏🏻🌟💕
Thank you!
Long Run track The Sad Cafe = The Troubadour. Cheers man, great history vid. An amazingly creative time in the California music scene. Peace x
Thanks and yes, I think you right about The Sad Cafe. Peace...
Yes!
This was truly awesome! I've been a lifelong Eagles fan and these locations and stories are beyond interesting! Excellent.
Thanks, it was a blast to make this one.
I really liked this. The sharp stories behind the locations,good pacing and insight makes it work. Thx
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love the Eagles! Saw them at the Forum last year.
I heard they were great. I wonder who's going to replace Deacon now though? I haven't seen them since the 70's at Anaheim stadium I believe it was, but I am going to see Dylan at the Pantages in June.
@@RockessentialTim At first I thought “what are you taking about Deacon leaving?” learned that he’s leaving the Eagles due to an undisclosed illness. I wish him the best.
Yeah, hoping everything is cool. I didn't know, I thought he was just moving on to get a solo career happening.
Great video as always!🎵
BRILLIANT! Thanks so much for posting, I'm a huge Eagles fan in Perth Australia!
A friend of mine saw them play yesterday! They are still out there touring. Thanks for watching.
Love love love your locations videos! I like they way you tell stories/facts from the past! I was lucky enough to see the eagles in 2016 with jimmy Buffett in Orlando! Also was mere feet away from jd southers magical skills in 2017 when he played with Buffett at la cigale in Paris! Keep making awesome videos!
Thanks much. I would love to go see ANYBODY play in Paris!
I lived there. I grew up there. On the 5th floor.
I also lived in apartment 114 of the Lido. I really had groups of tourists take pics of my door.
Apparently I was one of them!
just found your channel and really enjoyed the tour. cheers I will be back.
They are pretty fun vids to make. Thanks much!
Amazing Thank you
Welcome 😊
Another great one!
Cool! I'm a local and didn't know about any of these places. Thanks for sharing!
Funny, but I felt the same way while making this vid. Especially the Lido Hotel and the Beverly Hills Hotel--I had never been to either before this. If you ever get the chance though, I would highly suggest dinner at Dan Tana's. Best Italian food in LA!
Used to work in a shop in Beverly Hills, had Glenn come in a couple of times-really enjoy your videos!
Right on
Wow that awesome man thanks. Beautiful roads and neighborhoods over there in LA! I always wondered where the hotel lobby was from on the Hotel California album and the little fun fact about David Cassidy's qualude bottle. 🤣✌
The Lido hotel neighborhood has come up a lot over the past few years but I still don't know if I'd be walking the dog at night there. The lobby definitely had a nefarious vibe and my grandson who was with me couldn't wait to leave after I talked about the shadowy figure in the balcony.
@@RockessentialTim I live on the East Coast but i was stationed in San Diego when i was in the Navy from 1988-1992 , i really enjoyed California and i definitly want to take my nephew to see the parts of LA and San Diego...it would really blow his mind! 👍
@@surfshack2 Love San Diego. We go down there every summer and rent a place near the beach.
@@surfshack2 I was at Balboa 86-88....lived in north park area just a few blocks from Frey's old apartment.... lol
@@robrichmond6171 Balboa was a park in San Diego right? Glen Frey lived down there?
I love these tours you do,I can watch them over and over. This is some cool stuff! I guess I’ve already told you that, but you know what...I’ll tell you again next month🍻know what else...PeaceOut😆!
...And I love hearing it!!!
It's funny I thought the Hotel California in Palm Springs was were that came from, its not obviously but it looks the part. Thanks man The Eagles are for sure my favorite band of all time.
Right on and thanks for the comment!
great job, thanks
Thank you too!
EXCELLENT VIDEO; WELL DONE: So sad, to see the memories of the canyon we all traveled through to get from BEN FRANK'S restaurant for at least twenty years, to geT back to the San Fernando Valley's Ventura Blvd and Studio City.. there was a famous guitar store on the corner , can't remember the name of it.
Many thanks!
Just found this. Obviously worth watching, seeing it's The Eagles. I had no idea that Browne had originally written 'Take It Easy'. Or at least, almost written it. And I didn't know Frey and Henley played together in Ronstadt's backing band.
An educational eleven minutes for me.
There is a documentary out there called "History Of The Eagles" thats like 3 hours long but I have to say, its well worth the time. Cheers!
Awesome thanks for what you do!
Thank you much.
Great informative video Tim, thanks for keeping LA rock history alive.
This is a great video, you are very good at making them!
Aw shucks. Thank you.
always a great job on the history and video presentations! thanks for sharing..
Right on, thanks!
great Video i’ve read and heard all the stories but i grew up on the East Coast and never really got to go through the infamous LaurelCanyon or actually California ingeneral i was out there but at that time i had a Wife and smallChildren so my obligations were to keep them happy and Entertained i’ve been a big Fan of the Eagles and most of the other Regulars Associated with the Troubadour the Qualude bottle was a good funny here is another kind of Funny about Qualudes in General i grew up inSouthFlorida where i graduated High School and lived Off and On for many years , although in my early 20s my thenWife and I decided to move toMaryland to raise a family and i wound up having a great Career and lived there for almost 30 years i made some great Freinds and one of them is a guy that was Born and Raised inBaltimore in the late 60s and early 70s he was basically a Hippie who did wind up cruising America with his now wife of many years in a Van he Customized with living quaters and accomodations he also had a Buddybthat built a hand Press out of Metal that they could make Qualudes for themselves to use and /or for sale and Distribution now a couple of his Buddies in that Business Venture took it upon themselves to keep up with the demands and changes in the illegal Drug Trade ,Sales and Manufaturing so naturally in the late 1970s and into the 1980s they shifted intoMarajuana thenCocaine so they also wound up moving toSouthFlorida and buying big Waterfront MansionsinThe Florida Keys and my Buddy who had known those Characters his entire Life would go down on Vacations to hang out as a Guest and of course to Party Ironically he also remembered that hand crafted Qualude Press being at one of those guys homes inKey Largo of course it had the Legendary 714 somit would produce Realistic Counterfeits well over the Years that Press went missing and everyone just scratched their heads Fast Foward to the 1990s and was living inFlorida again and i ran into a guy i knew years before but hadn’t seen in like 25 years Well we were Partying and Jamming together at some House Party we both wound up at and Stories came up of different groups of people we knew from decades earlier and of those times Well my Buddy brought up Qualudes and how they were tied into the Music World BTW he was a Session Guitarist for many years at Citeria Studios inMiami which was where Robert Stigwood had all his Acts Recording like Clapton,The BeeGees , Olivia NewtonJohn , and a few others and my Buddy that worked at Criteria in the 70s and 80s mentioned he was at some House Party years ago and Traded some Music Equipment for a Qualude Press because he knew the Musicians would pop them like Candy plus he thought the thing was just Cool he totally admitted to me that with all the Spring Break Tourism he and some other guys would crush up Asprins and stamp them to look like a Qualude then sell them in Bars to tourists they would never see again yes it was a Scumbag thing to do but he said they sold them like crazy for 4 bucks a pill apparently as fast as they could make them as thousands of young Collegecage Students would spend Weeks living inHotels Drunk out of their minds on their Spring Breaks then would go back to their home States and Schools well that guy i know still has the Press in his possesion and of Course Qualudes are no,longer a desired Drug for RecreationalPurposes and most of the Younger people don’t even know what they are i just thought it was funny that two Drinking and Fishing Buddies could solve a 40 year old Mystery despite we grew up in different times and a thousand miles away from each other now besides that Music Connection i had with that freind of mine We also ran in the same Circles in the Marina and Boat Trade which is how he actually wound up meeting all those guys fromBaltimore origibnally because they used a Marina to keep severalBoats they used to bring Cocaine into the United States coming fromSouthAmerica at one point it went to the Bahamas and needed to be sent toMiami for Sale and Distribution
What a story! Its a small world after all...
Makes me think of east Dallas in the '70's and '80's. How did any of us live through that?
Awesome video. Three things I love : Locations, Hollywood, and music history. New Sub.
Of like minds... thanks and thanks for the sub!
Thank you for this little tour you’ve assembled here. The background music to it was killer too! I read Linda’s book and of course she talked about when she, Kimmel and Kenny lived together in the beginning. Then after J.D. put the moves on her and she made him a PB&J for their first date, they’d listen to Sinatra’s Only The Lonely record. She talked about hearing Jackson working on songs so I’d imagine she lived near that house on stilts that was mentioned here. Anyway, thanks for the tour. It’s good to put eyes on these abode’s that I’ve only read about. Just subscribed too!
Thank for the kind words. Your comment has special meaning cuz I'm currently working on a vid about Linda and was just down to that house on Hart Avenue that she lived with Kimmel and Kenny Edwards yesterday. Anyway, these tours make a great excuse to talk about music and that's a good thing.
I’m very grateful of your efforts. It avoids me from flying 3,000 miles to California and try to find all these locations! My next request was actually gonna be on Kenny. I’m fascinated by this guy. Like a John Paul Jones was to Zeppelin, Kenny and Andrew for that matter were very much like this to Linda’s band. Not much has been written about Kenny and I’d love to learn more about him: his knowledge and musical training, family, instruments etc... I see him with a ‘64 Jazz Bass in all of his time with Linda and would love to know where that bass resides today, given his far too soon and early death. It’s such a shame that he and Andrew are gone now.
I was really rather unaware of him before prepping for my new vid. He's fantastic. I didn't know that he and Andrew were gone. Damn. I have a Musicman Sterling and a 90's P bass that I will have till they bury me.
Unfortunately yes, they are no longer among the living. Look up Linda’s concert film from Offenbach, Germany 1976 on TH-cam. It’s wonderful! Waddy Wachtel, Don Grolnick, Brock Walsh, Dan Dugmore, Mike Botts (Bread) and the others are all present. It was by far her best lineup.
@@luvbasses5487 I will. I did a studio gig for Waddy back in the 90's. Played harmonica for him on Gilby Clark's solo record that he produced. He didn't say much...
Steppenwolf band members lived in Laurel Canyon, bassist, Nick St. Nicholas lived just down the road from Jim Morrison. Steppenwolf, front man, John Kay, lived in Nichols Canyon just down the road from Frank Zappa that lived in Laurel Canyon on Woodrow Wilson Drive. John's daughter, Shawn, was a friend of Moon & Dweezil Zappa.
Great video! Thanks so much as I enjoyed it immensely!
Right on, thank you!
I love your channel! I lived in Huntington Beach and Sanna Babylon in the 80's, but never spent much time in LA, such a cool town. Shakeytown, right Jackson? I am a music freak and into every single person you have ever mentioned on your blasts. Fugging excellent. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks, Great video!
Greetings from Huntington Woods, MI. Great stuff!
Hello from a fellow (former) Detroiter!
Used to hang in Topanga, I remember seeing Linda playing the with her band and Ricky Nelson's, The Stone Canyon Band. They became the Eagles. Yes?
Stone Canyon Band's bassist, Randy Meisner went on to the Eagles and Glenn Frey, Don Henley and occasionally Bernie Leadon were all in Linda Ronstadt's band at one time or another. BTW: Where they good when you saw them?
It was kind of a haze ....it was a place called the Corral.
@@JohnnieDelong Right! It burnt down years ago. Never got a chance to visit but it sounds like a rocking place.
Great video, thanks!
Right on, thanks!
Very nice stories of some of my first guitar playing icons and inspirations, songs included! Really well done and edited! I’m a new sub for sure.
Would have loved to hang out and catch a Monday Night Football game at The Kirkwood Casino.
Thanks for the hike tour bro 😃
Love the Linda Ronstadt compound. Right next to the Hollywood Bowl, right?
Right behind it! Kurt Cobain used to live there too.
I'd love to see you do a video about any of the bands of the sunset strip of the '80s. You know, like Motley Crue, Poison, Guns and Roses , Warrant, Dokken, Ratt, etc. That was one of the greatest and most exciting eras Hollywood and the Sunset strip has ever seen! Maybe some kind of walking tour or something? I really like your videos. So informative you do a great job. And you definitely know a lot about music. I can relate.
Hmmm...
I prefer the bands from Laurel Canyon. The bands where we can understand the words and the meaning. The 60’s early 70’s music was the finest.
Where do you start though? I was a fringe member of the 80's Sunset scene and I knew a lot of those guys personally. I'm not sure if that clouds things or not. But I will say this, GNR's Appitite was one of the top 10 records ever made.
@@RockessentialTim Well since the Crue had a hit movie and them and Poison are doing the stadium tour coming up. Maybe something about the places the Crue hung out and lived, etc.? They lived off the strip somewhere.
@@ruready2rock856 Good ideas. ps: Crue lived on Clark right up from the Whisky.
Thanks for the upload
Very enjoyable
Thanks!
Very much enjoyed, thank you.

What a great video, thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice tour, thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Liked it a lot...
Great video, very interesting, you.must have really done your homework. I'm in the UK but always wanted to visit LA, but I think I'll pass on the $45 burger.😉 Do you do official tours.
That burger price was from a year ago, its probably 50 by now! I live in LA and am retired from my job and I do these vids for the fun of it🙂 so I'll leave the official tours to someone younger...
You ought to consider a video about Topanga Canyon. Linda Ronstadt lived right next door to Gary Hinman who was the first victim of the Manson Family. She said she wasn't home that night or they might have come after her. Right across the street from her house was the stone house pictured on the back of her Hand Sown album. It was also featured on a Byrds album. She said that area had a bad vibe. And speaking of bad vibes she later moved to Brentwood where she was in the same hood as Nicole Brown Simpson. They would often run into each other while walking their dogs. You know the rest of the story.
Hey, thanks for the info. I've been up there once to film Neil's home studio. It was steep! Have been trying to pin down Linda's address on Wonderland where she lived with Jerry Brown for years but can't seem to find it. If you come accross it, let me know...
@@RockessentialTim Linda moved to her house at #38 Malibu Colony (aka 23674 Malibu Colony Rd) in 1975, after the release and success of HLAW. In 1980, she moved from Malibu Colony to the house at 241 N Rockingham (Brentwood). Those were the years she was mostly involved with Jerry Brown.
Are you talking about this Wonderland?
th-cam.com/video/IXTHOMlrd4Q/w-d-xo.html
Malibu was where she lived when this interview took place. Ronstadt recounts a time during the winter of 1979 when she was “keeping company” with the then-41-year-old governor when a series of winter storms threatened to wipe out her Malibu Colony home. “The newspapers had begun to speculate on whether the governor was going to spend state money to protect his girlfriend’s house,” Ronstadt writes.
Before that, between 1970 and 1973, she moved to an apartment in Beechwood Canyon with JD Souther. I believe the apartment was the upstairs unit of the house at 2595 N Beechwood. Harry Dean Stanton lived above the garage, behind the house, at the time. JD and Linda parted ways during this period, and he moved to another place nearby (maybe the house at 2400 N Gower).
I tried to post a link to this and more information but youtube automatically deletes it. Hopefully the above information will help.

Peter Choate-Designed Brentwood Home For $6.25 Million
By Nicole Larson
excerpt
A fun blast from the past: a1979 People Magazine article notes that when Choate was commissioned to do the renovations for celeb Linda Ronstadt’s Malibu property, Choate remembered that “Governor Brown sneaked around a lot” around the home.
@@robtempe Thank you so much for this. I was planning on doing something on Linda in the future, perhaps after I'm finished with my current project. Did you collect this info from any specific source or just all around research?
That was really cool.
Thanks!
Great stuff! Just subscribed
