I moved to L.A. after just turning 19. I lived on Laurel Ave. South of Sunset Blvd. just around the corner from Schwab's. My apartment was a mere $140 a month for a bedroom and den. I was there when Pandora's Box was a hot spot. I remember the police patrolling there all the time. I was there the night of the police riot !There were flower children walking around Sunset at all hours. I worked at Lytton Savings and Loan just across the street from Pandora's Box. I had lunch and dinner many times at Frascati's Restaurant across the street on Sunset. I was young, it was exciting and I loved it. I ate at Ben Frank's many times. Went to the Crescendo club and Ciro's. You'd see major rock stars around all the time. Trying to get into showbusiness and finally making it, I sang at "The Scene" and "Dino's Lodge" on Sunset. I actually got into "THE PLAYBOY CLUB" @1000 Sunset Blvd. My hair stylist was "Little Joe's Tonsorial Parlor" in the 1000 Sunset Bldg. There never will be another time like that again. I'm so happy to have lived it. You're only young once. Enjoy everything while you can !
Thank you. I was there. The girl hawing newspapers is selling the LA Free Press. I've stood on that corner many times doing the same thing. I got a nickel for every sale most of which got spent at Harry's BBQ around the corner on Crescent Hts. Happy times.
Rick, I remember Harry's Open Pit BBQ, great eating place, but when they moved to Sepulveda Blvd, between Santa Monica Blvd. & Olympic in the 70's & 80's
@Rick my brother Stan and I, (Louie) had the LA Free Press distribution for all of the street people in Los Angeles selling them on the streets. They either got the papers from my brother Stan, who had the main office on Argyle Street, a block up from the Aquarius Theater, and I (Louie) had the news stand right at the corner where the girl is selling the paper. This was in 1969-71. Before that Pandora's Box was still standing until the 1966 Sunset Blvd. riots. You can still see part of Pandora's right side still standing. We got the Freep stand from a couple named Bob and Betty. They also made candles and you can see their little make shift store on the same street. If anyone was selling Free Press back then you would have known my by my gigantic afro...And Harry's had the best BBQ in the city...
Who knew such a short video could bring back such a huge flood of memories. Thank you! I spent many happy hours hitchhiking up and down the blvd. The scene changed at night when the street came alive. I stood on the same corner hawking papers (the LA Free Press). As I recall we asked for fifteen cents a pop and got to keep a nickel from every sale. I squandered my loot on fries and soda at Harry's Bbq (not in scene) just around the bend on Crescent Heights. What I wouldn't give to relive just one day.
We laughed hysterically, so hard the driver kicked us out of his car, rolling on the ground laughing so hard we cried with laughter as we watched the car pull away. We laughed helplessly until we regained composure then stuck our thumbs out again. We had our time piece, we'd be okay.
I was 10 years old when this was filmed and lived in Alhambra. I remember that on Sundays my parents, my sister and I always went for a drive someplace. Sunset, Hollywood Blvd. or maybe out to Santa Monica and cruse the coast. Lunch at Bob's Big Boy or Denny's was the norm. Man those where great times, I really miss it.
Before Aids... Before the time a woman would call your work to confirm you had a job... Before people stopped talking to each other.... When having a college degree guaranteed you a job... When rent wasn't as much as a mortgage payment... When you could work on your own car yourself .. When hope was alive... everywhere... even if you didn't have a lot of money.
Lord Vader Iv And you can see Jim Morrison was peaking about La Cienaga blvd or Alta Cienaga on the ledge. I wished i was older than 3 years old that year. Actually AIDS was in the US at the time but before it was an epidemic. Google a Robert Rayford who died of it in 67 or 69. And a woman died of it. 2 rare cases in the 60s. And if you google Gerth Rask who caught it in The Congo in 74. She was a stomache surgen in Africa. Danish dr. She was dust by 77. And 1976 Bicentenial New York gay parties is where the Canadian Steward Gueten Dugas partied and caught it Nd spread it from The Castro Baths in Frisco , New York, West LA and Orange Co. Those are the facts i researched. But in 67 i think i have it bookmarked that Rayford dude caught it. Unknown. Only 16 years old. But the majority was safe. We have to take into consideration in those days no test and long incubation period. So the people who caught it in 76 didnt start getting sick till 78 and by early 81 Fire Island in Newyork as i recall it spread. Hate to ruin the scene. I never caught it but i came dagerously close. Im not gay but things got wild a few times in my 53 years of life. Not to boast. Actually embaressed. But damn there were some awesome times.
*Before Political Correctness...* The massive psychological death-cult that brainwashed and indoctrinated the western mind with its guilt-ridden victimization, entitlement debt, feminism and suicidal tolerance and multiculturalism, destroying our societal foundations with its dysfunctional confusion and family destabilization. Western countries now have a suicidal obsession with the destructive forces of Political Correctness; tolerance, guilt and victimization are its soldiers, as this is a psychological war of mental indoctrination not a physical war. Physical wars are easy to win... secret psychological wars fought from within through 'fear and intimidation' are infinitely more difficult if not impossible to win.
@Anon: It's not the same thing. Texting/email in leiu of face to face or phone conversation is unhealthy. We were more in harmony with each other when this film was made. Yes, there were conservatives vs. liberals but conservatives got along better with other conservatives and ditto for liberals with liberals.
Also, if you didn't have a lot of money you weren't looked down upon like now. Yes, hope was alive. If you wanted to get ahead, you worked for it. Working hard is much less likely to get you ahead.
I'd give anything...anything to go back in that time and be back in the 60's in LA when I loved LA so much. It's the people in the place that make the place and make the difference.
My family visited Los Angeles in '68. I remember us driving down Sunset blvd and seeing hippies spread all over the place. Sitting on the sidewalks, etc. I was 7 then and I'll never forget it.
Lol, I was never a hippie type person. My parents were a little. My mom described themselves as hip. Quite the embarrassment for my young self in our conservative town 😄
They swarmed to California after the "Summer of Love" marketing campaign in 1967. Thousands of them were still there, living in tent cities in Laurel Canyon, when I lived there in the 80s.
Me too we loved here some Saturday nights my parents would take us for a ride on the strip I remember my parents saying look at her look at him look at em my dad said oh lord what will it be like when our kids are their age he died 5 years ago and mom 4 years ago it’s only gonna get worse I want to tell people every time you self check out at stores your feeding the beast there’ll be no jobs machines will take over back them there were jobs for people to sit in elevators and press the buttons for you all kinds of jobs that don’t exist anymore service station attendants orderlies at hospitals etc. if we don’t help them destroy us they can’t wait in line!!!!!
Back then, I wasnt even born. Wish I had been though. That era was amazing. I really wish time travel was a thing. I would love to vacation in the past. What a thrill that would be.
Wow i would love to go back to this period of time and experiance it i would love to see all them great bands live and just feel the atmosphere of 1967.
The film maker had unique insight to turn on the 8mm camera in doing what many of us (then) did ...cruise both west and east on Sunset...I recall many of the offices, shops, etc..and Pandora"s Box...where my band among many in L.A. played till it was torn down...inciting a riot, and which Stephen Stills penned "For What It's Worth"......Thank you for a very nostalgic "trip." ^/^

I want to travel back to Hollywood, San Francisco, Manhattan, London, and other parts of the world to experience life during these times than what we’re living in now!
That red building that is a Burlesque nightclub (at North Harper) is called The Body Shop now, still offering nude dancing! The old pink KERB Radio building is The National Lampoon's headquarters. Bullwinkle holding Rocky is still there where the old Jay Ward Productions was from 1949, now Hollywood Grounds resides there. Directly across the street is the infamous Chateau Marmont (8221 Sunset Boulevard - not shown). The Plush Pup is now Pinches Tacos (go figure). The bronze figures are still there, and the Lytton Savings is now a Chase Bank. The large area past the bank used to be called Lytton Center. Now it has a huge shopping center with a McDonald's. Lytton Center was bulldozed, the shopping center built and the rest of the land all the way to where the girl is standing by the stop light (at the old Crescent Heights intersection) is now one MASSIVE intersection.
To have a toyota truck and money from a savings acct withdrawn and ready to spend in a time machine adventure at this red club. - but alas you would be arrested for having counterfeit bills from 2019 back in 60 s.
I was only a 10-year-old kid here in suburban Philadelphia back in 1967. However, my first visit to Los Angeles wasn't until 11 years later, in 1978, to celebrate my 21st birthday there. And I went there three more times after that: in 1981, in 1983, and in 2015. I just absolutely love L.A. It's now my very favorite vacation spot.
I was born in 1960 in California and its fun to see these old clips. I forgot from my childhood (of course) what cars, commercial buildings and people looked like back then.
My hang out as a 17/18 year old. Great music in the clubs on weekends. Canned Heat, Doors, Love, Byrds and so many others before they became iconic. I was there the night of the so called riot. It really wasnt much but the end of the Strip scene was planned ahead of time because of residential complaints. We moved ourselves to the Shrine Auditorium and Santa Monica Blvd by 1968.
legend has it the lady in the red and white (1:25) can sometimes be seen at the bus stop near the intersection of sunset and laurel canyon blvd. still holding those papers.
I worked Hollywood from 70 to 78 with the gas company and used to love working the Hollywood hills and sunset Most of that scene was still there in 70 but Hollywood started to decline when the punk rockers came. It was fun working there, every one came at night with a story of what happened on their shift including me.
I was 30, going over to the Manhattan jaspers game. And the next week left for Los Angeles to meet a friend on a working order as my father did back in the 1930s and 1940s and 1950s.
@@1940limited Or people who were lied to by this myth of a "magical" 1967 while seeing a bunch of drugged out young folks sitting off the sidewalk in the film. Go back to Muskogee!
The property the beautiful young girl is standing on is so much smaller now. They widened Crescent Heights blvd and increased the size of the bank parking lot so now that property is a small triangle with a bus stop on it. No room for a building now let alone 2 of them. There is a road running through where Pandora's Box once stood.
Nice compilation. The Pontiac at 1:56 is a 1963. At a time when America was still building up, now it's going down, sad to see. Alot of the strip is still recognizable even today.
Amazing! The Fifth Estate Coffee House, Pandora's Box. The old building that turned into Dublins (recently torn down), and almost a glimpse of Schwabs.
A buddy and I got stuck in the Fifth Estate during the Sunset strip riots......the LASD parked a bus right in front of the door.....if you wanted to leave, you went in the bus......he and I had hooked up with two girls that lived next door, they led us out over the back wall to their place.....what a great time those days were.....
the Marquis Restaurant located at Sunset Blvd. and Harper in West Hollywood during the '50s You may recognize its former incarnations: Carlos & Charlie's during the '70s & '80s, and Dublin's Irish Pub during the 90s
This reminds me of that Quentin Tarantino movie, I forgot the name, the one that takes place during the Manson murders........the part with Brad PItt driving the Cadillac thru Holywood
The Building that Dublin's was in at 00:30!!! So cool. I didn't realize that building was the same back then. Such a shame that is gone now. The younger generation is pretty lucky because now they have google street view where they will be able to go back in time and see how things looked when they were young. Us older folks have to get lucky and hope someone filmed something like this so we can take a peek back in time.
The Doors would be truer to the Sunset Strip, and to Southern California in general. "White Rabbit" makes me feel like my head is in a vice that keeps getting tightened.
I get a load out of the flora (in ground plants) that are common in S. Cal. like the Deodor cedars, tree ferns, Bird of Paradise, and of course the ever present tall Washintonia and the Canary Island date palms that are planted everywhere, just basking in the sun!
What I would give to be a part of that generation, born in the late 40s, growing up in the innocent days of the fifties and early sixties, and then witness and partake in the wild, transforming, liberating late sixties
@@peterkrebitzka3475 Wow I was born in 1975, I'm 47 years if I go back in time there's no record of me. so they wouldn't draft me, The Hippies will think I'm a Narc. ☮☮☮☮
The hippie generation!...I remember the end of it...My cousin was a hippie and so was my sister...Still is in fact lol...Had to be an amazing experiene to have been a young adult back then.
There's a clip, not unlike this one, of video being shot of Sunset from a moving car. The scene where the girl is standing at the bus stop bench, and other's are just hanging around-a few hitchhiking? There's another clip as I stated, that is panning Sunset Blvd from a moving car, and it's the same corner that is shown in this video. I saw it, but forgot to book mark it, as it shows the infamous live in groundskeeper William Garretson hitchhiking in the same spot. He's goofing on the person with the video camera in the moving vehicle, while supposedly hitchhiking. Can any one find it?
It was a far out time during the 80';s but can imagine that it would be a lot groovier had i made there in the 60;s. Have been to most of the remaining clubs on the strip and it was a trip.
mgsimba1 he probably was. It’s crazy to think that at this time, everything was fine. All the people he murdered were still alive when the video was shot. I wish it could’ve stayed that way. He really did end the 60s.
@@jasongonzalez3983 Back then you could walk up to movie stars' houses in Beverly Hills, or crash rock stars' parties in Laurel Canyon. That ended quickly!
He was released from prison in 1967 and then split San Francisco where his Family was founded. Would be in L.A. by early '68 where his warped 'fun and games' would ensue..
It's all relative. I use to live in and loved L.A, not anymore, think it's an overcrowded over priced shithole now, but then someone from the 1930's L.A. probably thought the same thing about 1967 L.A.

They widened Crescent Heights blvd and increased the size of the bank parking lot so now that property is a small triangle with a bus stop on it. No room for a building now let alone 2 of them. There is a road running through where Pandora's Box once stood.
My stomping grounds early 70's, Lived at Hodge Podge Lodge up in Laurel canyon. Had many good times.
Wish I was there. 2022 sucks a**holes!
In 1967, I was just an ordinary 10-year-old growing up right here on the East Coast. It would be 11 years before my first visit to Los Angeles.
It's just so interesting to see the world the way it was before I even existed.
Nice compilation. The Pontiac at 1:56 is a 1963. At a time when America was still building up, now it's going down, sad to see. Alot of the strip is still recognizable even today.
We had a lilac-colored 1965 Pontiac Grand Safari station wagon. Similar to that one.

Amazing! The Fifth Estate Coffee House, Pandora's Box. The old building that turned into Dublins (recently torn down), and almost a glimpse of Schwabs.
A buddy and I got stuck in the Fifth Estate during the Sunset strip riots......the LASD parked a bus right in front of the door.....if you wanted to leave, you went in the bus......he and I had hooked up with two girls that lived next door, they led us out over the back wall to their place.....what a great time those days were.....
Was the coffee house named for the singing group that reocrded Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead? Or is it the other way around?
My favorite scene in Once Upon A Time In...Hollywood!!!!
back when people were comfortable hitch hiking
The Famous "Plush Pup" Hot dog stand at .53 Priceless footage ...
Oh wow my old stomping grounds
A perpetual car show, not one cellphone, and life was more simple.
Thanks for this, it's beautiful. Can anybody tell me what the building at 0.30 is?
guy lawrence Wasn't that Dinos?
the Marquis Restaurant located at Sunset Blvd. and Harper in West Hollywood during the '50s You may recognize its former incarnations: Carlos & Charlie's during the '70s & '80s, and Dublin's Irish Pub during the 90s
This reminds me of that Quentin Tarantino movie, I forgot the name, the one that takes place during the Manson murders........the part with Brad PItt driving the Cadillac thru Holywood
Once upon a Time in Hollywood
The Building that Dublin's was in at 00:30!!! So cool. I didn't realize that building was the same back then. Such a shame that is gone now. The younger generation is pretty lucky because now they have google street view where they will be able to go back in time and see how things looked when they were young. Us older folks have to get lucky and hope someone filmed something like this so we can take a peek back in time.
I agree. I like this tune, however, the ideal choice would have been "light my fire" by the Doors....all seven minutes of it...
The Doors would be truer to the Sunset Strip, and to Southern California in general. "White Rabbit" makes me feel like my head is in a vice that keeps getting tightened.
I agree.
Pandoras Box! Wow. If I could only travel back in time and attend a show there.
can anyone tell me where exactly the girl in the pink top was? i live in hollywood
***** She's standing at Sunset and Crescent Heights facing north.
Pandora's Box club was the striped bldg. The scene of L.A.P.D. incited riots. I am proud of participating.
BaronTurco Good for you. ✌
Beautiful tanks gr Jeffrey 🍀🌞☕😘🌴
Great music...can someone tell my the name of this song?
Alfonso Vargas Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
My soul is there I've been there in a past life
Good video.
It would have been nice to view the video without the watermark. If I'm interested in that I would seek it out.
I get a load out of the flora (in ground plants) that are common in S. Cal. like the Deodor cedars, tree ferns, Bird of Paradise, and of course the ever present tall Washintonia and the Canary Island date palms that are planted everywhere, just basking in the sun!
Awesome trip.
Beautiful.
Is that sally field at 1:28? Why is she passing out flyers? Wasn’t she ‘Flying Nun’ show.. The only thing a priest had on Friday was NONE.
I'd love to know what happened to the young lady selling the LA Free Press.
costernocht she went on to be an actress staring in the series Flying Nun
@@CraigsChannel2 Ha! The perkiness and the bangs reminded me of Sally Field, too.
The girl at 1:30 in is probably pushing 70 now.
No, 65!
She was 15 at the most in 1967; in 2014, 62; in 2017, 65.
@@zorroalphonso4354 Do you know her?
Gamma!
I know I’m chasing shadows, but does anybody know where I can find that girl? Does anybody here know her name? (Serious answers please.)
did you ever see the buffalo springfield around los angeles?
1:49 Schwab’s Pharmacy?
2:16. Where is she now?
This is my era!
Where is the rest of that footage? It's about 25 min long, beach scenes, boardwalk etcv
I can only take what they give me. They seriously thought they were being way to generous with giving me that much.
Barely remember Los Angeles in the late 1960s as a tot! Thxs 😂
What I would give to be a part of that generation, born in the late 40s, growing up in the innocent days of the fifties and early sixties, and then witness and partake in the wild, transforming, liberating late sixties
you don't wanna go to 'Nam ,.. stay away from the 60's if Teleportatation happens in the next 20
@@peterkrebitzka3475 Wow I was born in 1975, I'm 47 years if I go back in time there's no record of me. so they wouldn't draft me, The Hippies will think I'm a Narc. ☮☮☮☮
I like how that girl at the end was like "are you filming me?!?!?"
Was she saying "are you filming me?" or was she "Like" are you filming me?
I think she was selling newspapers and thought the person filming wanting to buy one? 🤷🏼♀️
The Byrds would have been good to use.
Small Faces. Itchy coo park
The hippie generation!...I remember the end of it...My cousin was a hippie and so was my sister...Still is in fact lol...Had to be an amazing experiene to have been a young adult back then.
Where's Rick Dalton?
Hanging out with Cliff or doing maintenance on his flamethrower...
Where is Vito or Carl?
There's a clip, not unlike this one, of video being shot of Sunset from a moving car. The scene where the girl is standing at the bus stop bench, and other's are just hanging around-a few hitchhiking? There's another clip as I stated, that is panning Sunset Blvd from a moving car, and it's the same corner that is shown in this video. I saw it, but forgot to book mark it, as it shows the infamous live in groundskeeper William Garretson hitchhiking in the same spot. He's goofing on the person with the video camera in the moving vehicle, while supposedly hitchhiking. Can any one find it?
I love the phone booth it reminds me of Superman
I feel like I'm seeing B roll from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Yes! Love this movie!
This video ends at Pandora's Box, which is where Cliff Booth picked up the Manson girl. Seems appropriate!
Having traveled much of the country.... Los Angeles still has its heart and soul.
Aww man that was sooo short though! More more...
How many boys in that video went and died in Vietnam? So sad 😞
Was that girl in the end tripping on something?
Nice tune. Nice vid.
Greatest female rock singer ever
It was a far out time during the 80';s but can imagine that it would be a lot groovier had i made there in the 60;s. Have been to most of the remaining clubs on the strip and it was a trip.
You got to witness the apotheosis of hair metal! 😀
flower power!!!!!! peace and love!!!!!! Wonder if Manson was near by when this was filmed?
mgsimba1 he probably was. It’s crazy to think that at this time, everything was fine. All the people he murdered were still alive when the video was shot. I wish it could’ve stayed that way. He really did end the 60s.
@@jasongonzalez3983 Back then you could walk up to movie stars' houses in Beverly Hills, or crash rock stars' parties in Laurel Canyon. That ended quickly!
He was released from prison in 1967 and then split San Francisco where his Family was founded. Would be in L.A. by early '68 where his warped 'fun and games' would ensue..
If this was filmed before March 21st of 67 he would have still been incarcerated at Terminal Island in LA County.
It's all relative. I use to live in and loved L.A, not anymore, think it's an overcrowded over priced shithole now, but then someone from the 1930's L.A. probably thought the same thing about 1967 L.A.
And they would have been right.
Phone booths, something kids these days have never seen or could imagine
I'm so curious at what was being said by the young lady at the bus stop bench. She seems to plea to the passers-by for some sort of reason.
That young girl was selling newspapers. So cute!
