The biggest break I got in life was being born in 1949. I hit the sixties running. I was born in manchester but I now reside in Liverpool. Laurel Canyons output of popular music beggars belief. The quality of the videos is outstanding. I almost feel like i am there. i hitch hiked all over the U.S. in the early seventies. Never made Laurel Canyon. I am a baby boomer currently circumventing the world. My Covid revenge!! Who would want to be 18 today??? Tomorrow I will be 73 years young...
So cool to hear all that. I would love to get over to Manchester AND Liverpool and do some historical exploration in those places. The Smiths, Joy Division, The Fall, Echo and the Bunnymen. Beatles, Hollies, etc.
Burton Cummings (lead singer of Canadian band The Guess Who) has shared an amazing Laurel Canyon story on a Canadian talk show hosted by George Strombolopolous. He said he was young and they had just started to make it in the industry. The band flew to LA and Burton had one night to go find the scene. He took a taxi ride to the Whiskey A GoGo but things were wrapping up there. The taxi driver took him up Laurel Canyon instead and dropped him at the house where the big party was that night. Burton snuck in and shyly found a piano and plopped down to play. A guy sat next to him on the piano bench and Burton looks up and sees its Jim Morrison. Jim is drunk but chatty and friendly. Jim decided it was time to go, but Burton felt Jim was too drunk to drive. He offered to drive Jim wherever he needed to go and he would find his own way back to his hotel. Jim accepted and they ended up driving around LA for hours just talking all night.
Fabulous presentation. I’m almost there! August 1968, Cleveland, Ohio I saw Jim Morrison and The Doors in concert the summer of my 16th birthday. It was such an exciting time for me. I wore a black Nehru mini dress with my first pair of pierced earrings. Jim Morrison looked fabulous in his black leather pants and black leather jacket with his cascading dark wavy hair. It was such a vibrant and exciting evening. My weekends were spent dancing at the Mentor Hullabaloo, listening to the James Gang, Joe Walsh, The Yardbirds, Cyrus Erie, Eric Carmen, Alice Cooper and an interesting looking British fellow in a fur coat named Rod Stewart. Great music before they became world famous. Those were the days my friend.
Me too. Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Soft Machine opening for Canned Heat. I have photos from when I saw Joe Walsh with the Measles at Summit Mall in West Akron.
Every time I see the Laurel Canyon videos I feel like the vibe of the 60's is still there. I can picture in my mind what the neighborhood was like and can hear the music playing. Amazing!
It was like lightning in a bottle, all of that history and creative energy all locked up in such a very small area that you can literally walk around in and see so much. Incredible place.
I’m two episodes in, and I can already tell that this is the best thing since sliced bread (if you’re into this era of music … which I am). I’m loving this!!!
I love the houses in this area, the ones that haven’t been destroyed. They aren’t cookie cutter glitzy mansions. It’s just a laid back! I would imagine it’s like living in a time warp with so much history. I’ve driven through Beverly hills past some historical mansions. There’s an energy there. You can feel the presence of the people that lived there. It’s really eerie but I love it!
I was born in 74 in the UK so missed this, but over the past few years I have become fascinated by Laurel Canyon in this period. It must have been an incredible time there, so creative and free, and your videos really bring it to life. Thanks Billy
I remember when many of my rock and heroes passed at a young age. Morrison, Cass Eliot, Gram Parsons, the list goes on. they were tragic deaths at the time. On the other hand, its difficult to imagine folks like Morrison who would be the same age as I (nearing 80!). They will always be young.
Yeah, I really wished that Morrison had been able to somehow miraculously turn it all around, but it was never to be. I think in many ways he was kind of like Kurt Cobain and probably would have gravitated away from the music business and become a successful writer or even a film director. He had vision, but he also had demons.
@@memoryfield If you once will plan a tour, let us know. I would come over all the way from germany :-) Love your work about L.Canyon! Besides: some of the photos you showed are the doors performing in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, my home town. Unfortunatly i was too young to attend the concert on the " Römerberg". Its a place in the middle of the historic district of Frankfurt , a city otherwise known for its skyscrapers in the later years
Thanks for another awesome video of my absolute fave places in CA! I was out there a few years ago & bought stuff at the Canyon Country Store including a book all about the canyon during that time, my friend went back the next day & night & ate at that beautiful restaurant attached to the store. Great food! & atmosphere. Thanks for making me feel like I was back there again ❤I would have thrived there in that time period. I ‘ve always felt like & been told that I’m an old soul.
Thanks so much for noticing the music that floats around in the background. I don't think many people comment that often about the music. Some of it is ours (memoryfield), but the soundtrack of that era is just so fabulous we felt like we had to include as much of it as we could. Thanks for watching and listening!
I was born and raised in Laurel Canyon. It was a magical place for a wonderful childhood, but I had moved to New York by 1962 so missed all the hoo haw about it being a musical village.
Me and my kids are planning an 'Almost Famous' trip to stay at the Riot House and get a rental car so we can drive around Laurel Canyon and see it in real life. Love these videos!!! I know that's the Marilyn Manson house because of the bush/tree in front lol
@@memoryfield I had read about the history of that house in a Rolling Stone interview back in the 90s, so I Googled where it was and 'drove around' on Google Street view and found it, so I recognize the entrance and that little bush with the pointed leaves as soon as you showed it, tho I've never been there in person, Appian Way if I remember correctly lol
@@memoryfield yes, I should of waited til the end of your doc to comment,but yes, I watched the one where he wrote People Are strange. And I agree with u that James Douglas Morrison is the greatest RnR star ever, and I have him in my top ten vocalists also. I mean he could croon like Sinatra, rip his vocal cords like a screaming demon, from love street to moonlight drive to back door man live, incredible performer, poet, singer, he had it all! But I’m not biased;-) And it’s crazy also how many artists came out of laurel Canyon and their connections to the military, but that’s for ur next doc!! Thanks for the reply You have a new sub also….
Great series, thanks so much for taking the time and having the interest in producing it. It is a review of my young life (I am 76) and I love looking back on those lovely years.
Great job on the Laurel Canyon series. I ventured up there in ‘92 up closer toward Appian Way and remember the POI, celeb houses, etc. Must have been a great time to be up there as I was only a year old in ‘67. Ha! Many hit songs written up there. So much inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Aren't we all relating to and appreciating this in different ways? Great video! I just love the history and honoring the legacy of Jim Morrison. His lifecycle is an neverending sequence of circles and I'm sure his spirit is still alive and well on Love Street.
Love your series. I was out there in early 68, but in Redondo Beach and Santa Monica. I remember people telling me that I should go out to Laurel Canyon, and painted such a visual picture of the wildlife (big cats, deer, etc)flowers so well, that I totally ‘saw it’. The real unsung hero’s in California were those dudes who moved refrigerators!
So do I, and I really mean that. What a time to have been alive and been living there. I lament that fact that it seems like back then, if you could play an instrument and write songs then people would at least take you seriously and you had a chance to make it in the music business. Nowadays, not so much. I've been playing the guitar and singing my entire life, but so has everyone else and their dog at this point. No one really seems to take modern music as seriously now as they did back then, at least as an artform and a way to express yourself musically.
So many interesting things to look at in Laurel Canyon & interesting information to be had ...but what stands out to me are the absolutely gorgeous flowers everywhere!! Had to pause to say that - now back to this awesome video!! 🌺🏵🌸💮
Thanks for bringing this on!! I came to LA in 75, I was able to walk all over Laurel. Growing up on the East Coast and following the music it was a dream to walk those streets and witnessed all the events you talk about. I consider myself a lucky guy for sure!!
I have a friend that rented the Norton ave. apt. that Jim Morrison had. He also lived in Laurel Canyon right across from Emily Banks in a cul de sac. Donald became a studio photographer for many famous shows and movies. He claims that Emily Banks taught him a lot about how to shoot aspiring actresses. He fondly speaks of his Laurel Canyon days. Not just Emily but also Mama Cass, David Cassidy and others. This was a magical place in a certain time.
Billy! this series was so much fun to watch. Got into a rhythm and it just flowed..fun info ..such great music & photos..your style was laid back and perfect for the topic. These episodes brought back so many memories of a golden age in music ..I was sad when I finished all of the episodes and really hoping you will do some other similar project in the near future. Great work! Thanks!
Awesome, thank you for your very nice comments. So glad to hear that you've enjoyed the channel and the series. We've been talking about some more videos and another series in the future but it just takes a lot of time and planning. And money too, lol. Thanks again!
+1.. great job with the narration & information as well. it mustve been tons of work obtaining al0l that info & points of interest. great job tying all of it together, good (mama cass) & not so good (manson family) together. i learned some things. the delivery style is on point as well. i know when the points of interest are arriving just by what i hear in the voice.. great job!
This is just awesome ❤I’m so into this read so much of the. Canyon obsession of mine 🚪🔥 I even know these places 😮 One day I’m coming to visit feel like I’ve been there before anyways but when you live this shit through books etc 🚪🚪🚪🔥🔥🔥🎥🙏🏼🙏🏼
Better get out there fast then, before they end up tearing everything down. LOL. Seriously, there is a ton of construction going on out there all over the place. Old houses coming down and new, bigger ones going up and sitting on multiple lots.
Another great episode, loving the music too. The Doors are probably my favourite band, I'd agree with what you said about Jim being the greatest rock star :)
I love your vids. You love LC and the musicians of my childhood so much and I do too. I figure Im between your age and your parents’ ages. ❤️ I try to go over the Canyon once a week. Now I know even more stories.
I recently watched another documentary about Laurel Canyon, which shows Jim's connection to the Canyon began before living there. He hung out there a lot and was befriended by the band LOVE, Laurel Canyon residents, who already were under contract with Electra, but wanted out of the contract. It was LOVE who recommended that the Electra brass sign The Doors, hoping that benevolence would get Electra to release them. It didn't work.
Billy, I was born and raised in Southern California in 1960. I remember when Cass Elliott died and when the Manson murders happened. I have read the same disparaging things about John Phillips in recent years. In 2009, his daughter Mackenzie Phillips outlined in her book the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. Long and short - John Phillips was a horrible disgusting person! I hope he’s suffering for his sins…
I went in that house prior to the fire for a Jim Morrison bday hang that the owner threw. They showed me Jim's old pink tiled shower that they kept in one piece inside the walls. True story. They had me pull out a medicine cabinet and peak inside and there it was... Also - it had lyrics and poetic lines written in it.. All lost in the fire I imagine.
No, it's STILL there. I've heard many people very recently talk about the hidden shower room and many who have been lucky enough to see it. I don't think the fire messed up the inside of the house, but I know that it has been remodeled extensively over the years. But the various owners have been cool enough to know not to tear out Jim's old shower room. It's still there.
@@memoryfield Ive watched many of your vids and also Hiking for life's. The both of you give a lot to the viewers. Besides the wonderful and totally cool places and views we get great story telling and enjoyable history lessons. Much appreciated
That you're doing this it's so important to have musical history time and place awesome kudos to you right on I'm from Alameda California I heard that he lived on Alameda avenue his dad was in the military and he did a song about his address at one time I can't remember the address but my girlfriend's from Alameda California 94501 tell me he lived on Alameda avenue and his dad worked at the Alameda base he was there for some time Jim Morrison
Thank you for the brief history of Los Angeles and the development of the canyon. It reminds me how young the city is. I was first there in late 1996, so 26 years ago. That seems like about 5 years ago. 26 years the other side of 1996 was 1970. I wonder are there some older people living there today who were around in the 60's. This was another great episode. I didn't realise that Jim was so young when he died. Drink will catch up with you I guess.
Yes, you're right. Even in the history of the United States, Los Angeles is considered one of the "newer" metropolitan areas that took a long time to really take off and grow. I guess it was the film industry that made it boom. And then when they figured out where to steal all their water from (Owens Valley, CA) there was no stopping the growth, lol.
And yes, Jim lived a very short and very eventful life. He was burned out by the time he was 27. It's all very sad to think of what he may have been able to accomplish if he hadn't fallen under the spell of the drink.
The barrel out here in the southwest is a traditional breakfast..can't go wrong with the grandpa meal.. loved how you spiced it up with the chalula sauce.....keep on eating on in the u.s...lpy
I grew up with two older sisters who were very different from each other but I could glean from the way they described Morrison that he had mesmerized them. I also remember a great article in Spin magazine that talked about how he was the last thing in Rock & Roll that embodied a true darkness and artists who came afterwards were easier to define or categorize . I can't understand the artist as well as my two sisters but I think I get it
In 91 when the movie The doors come out I was 25 years old living in a small Virginia Town I was supposed to leave for Los Angeles the following Monday went and seen the doors I think on Friday night left the theater feeling like I was tripping I'll never forget the feeling flying into Los Angeles I'm thinking of the song love Street I'm not going to say why I was in LA but I made good money I remember flying in at night to LAX and it was so surreal. Anyway I spent the next week out there but I was in lomita down next to Long Beach I got paid my money and I come home until the next two weeks when things was ready for me to go back to LA make more money I was connected with a very popular biker gang and they liked me because I was crazy enough to get on a jet plane leaving Greensboro North Carolina flying to Los Angeles bring in what they was Paying me to bring I'll never forget them Days inn Los Angeles it was so magical from La all the way up to San Bernardino I'm so sad now to see the city with all the homelessness and all the other bad stuff going on it's a shame our country is not what it was back then California hasn't changed much I remember going up to I can't think of the street Sharon Tate lived on with Roman Polanski and the cops pulled me and the two girls I was with we was in a Honda honey bee I had hair halfway down my back had stuff in my pocket that would probably put me in prison for at least 2 years and easily talked my way out of it with my Southern accent and I remember going up to Mulholland drive we had such a wonderful time up there me and the two girls actually they were sisters I didn't realize that sisters would do the things that these two done together I'm not going to say what but we had a damn good time anyway La was a magical place the cops in cars the topless bars never saw a woman so alone such simple but magical lyrics rip Jim Morrison, Ray manzarek I'm not sure if John and Robbie are still alive or not I don't keep up with rock and roll like I did when I was younger. Jesus Christ is who I follow now but I'll never forget them magical days when I was 25 in LA. Thank you sir you have done a wonderful job with this I'm sure I'll watch all of your videos. I could sit here and tell my entire story every trip I took to LA I didn't realize that a 25 year old could have such a good time I could probably write a book on my life they probably sell anyway thank you. ✌🏻
hey, hi Billy and the whole team, it's been a long time since I've seen your videos appear. I subscribe in case after a period without, you download your videos without me noticing. Thanks to Billy for showing me around the local grocery store. Jim Morrison actually has a history with Laurel Canyon between 1968 and 1969, which does not correspond to the best period of the Doors. In fact, towards the end of 1968, the group even had kingpin accents. It was LA's acclaimed band that was really his base. He had withdrawn a little to this city because of the problems he had everywhere else and, you could feel it in the atmosphere during the performances. Jim Morrison survived The Doors because he's one of America's greatest songwriters. Jim embodied a character from Greek antiquity to express his music that he stole from other doors or that came from himself. He was the conductor of music that had a touch of Allegro. It is this touch that makes his music timeless. But laurel Canyon is not the best period of Jim nor the 6 months which followed. It was Robbie who kind of did the work in '69 being very creative with the blues. But Jim has released a very interesting thesis on the cinema which he compares to the shadows that the prisoners of a cave see on its walls and which Plato exposed in a text. It's very interesting to dig into.
Bill ,I discovered ( by discovered I mean to say that no one pointed it out to me) a very interesting connection between the Doors and Pink Floyd,or more specifically Jim Morrison and Dave Gilmour.It has to do with the song "Love Street".In the song,during the middle 8 ,Jim is kind of making random musings .He says(not sings)"She lives on LOVE STREET.At the store where the creatures meet...I wonder what they DO in there?".Then he says,"SUMMER SUNDAY,AND A YEAR...."Then a couple of years later,in 1970,Pink Floyd release the album,"ATOM HEART MOTHER"(with the cow on the cover)On the fourth song,"FAT OLD SUN"a beautiful pastoral ballad,about 2 verses in,Dave has verbatim,the line from "LOVE STREET" ,"SUMMER SUNDAY,AND A YEAR".......I think it's Dave's nod to Jim saying,well done on the song ,"LOVE STREET"a very warm PLEASENT tune......
That's really cool that you were able to find that connection between all of them. I'll tell you something else, I know that Pink Floyd were totally into the music that was coming out of this area back in the late 60's. Rumor has it that they were also obsessed with Frank Zappa and his music and they paid a visit to him at the old Log Cabin during a time they were in LA in 1968. Frank took them down in the basement and showed them some things he was working on and all they would do was just look at each other and then look back at Frank and nod in approval. They hardly said anything, but would just nod their heads when they liked what they heard.
If you Google maps Tavern Trail and follow it like you did, it turns into Lucille trail, which then turns into Rothwell trail which you were on. Awesome job!
I was lucky enough to of met Ray many a yr ago,,, in the uk,,, he was such a nice guy,,,,, the Doors to me were and are unique,,, I visited Jim’s resting place just outta Paris,,,, words can’t explain it,,,
Once I had a old friend who knew me when I was younger and now I don't hear much from them anymore but I hope they will remember me when I was younger and I never thought of them lately because I didn't want boast lol
Really enjoyed the history of THE DOORS! He was the male counterpart to Cass Elliot! So intelligent but trying to adapt to the superstardom he had. Very unfortunate that he passed away in 1971. Remember him by this time. Laurel Canyon really started the Rock n Roll at this point. The Doors sound was the beginning for sure. By the time LA WOMAN was released in 1971 their sound was trending towards Rock n Roll.
I'm really loving this but I wish everything was narrated because I'm mostly listening and glancing over every once in a while as I do other things. I feel like I'm missing some info concerning the early history. My loss I suppose but it's an awesome documentary so thank you so much
About the Doors movie. I distinctly remember Ray Manzarek going on about how great Val Kilmer was in that movie. Like Jim possessed him. Then, a few years later, they all slam it. I remember it and was surprised at the change in opinion.
Yes, I noticed some of that too. I think Ray liked what he thought the movie was going to portray but then after he saw the final edit he most definitely changed his opinions on the film.
In 1959-60 when I was 7 years old,I lived in a small town in Pinellas County,Florida in LARGO,a suburb of CLEARWATER....In reading JIM MORRISONS biography,I learned that right around that time,a 15 year old Jim lived with his grandparents just a couple of miles from where I lived in Clearwater.......
So...I used Google Earth to locate the Morrison house, traverse to about the middle of the house (@ 19:12 of your video) and look at the double windows on the second floor. Made me laugh....and freaked out. LOL.
This video really started at 18:00 around Jim's quotes all the way through to the pictures I've never seen(and I'm a big Doors enthusiast)! Where did you get these? Congrats on an endeavor well-tended!
In those days way up here in nortern california about a hundred miles north east of reno there was a different vibe i think it was a lot like laurel canyon , the vibe is gone here but i think its still in laurel canyon
Most of it seems to be gone down there too. If you know the history, that's one thing. But if you're just hauling ass thru there to get to Studio City I don't think most of those people care at all about what was in there at one time or another. It's just a cut-thru now. Kind of sad, really.
Love these videos Bill! So glad you didn’t like Oliver Stone’s shitshow about The Doors! I wouldn’t even go see it. Thanks for helping to set the facts straight! Another great one! Will you ever come to the East Coast and do some Rockumentaries about late sixties and early seventies bands that got started in East Village in NY?
@@memoryfield sorry Bill, that was pretty selfish of me especially because I can only imagine the hard work it takes for you to put out these videos and then to go back and keep reediting because you are a perfectionist! Your videos are amazing and I’ve learned so much from watching them and I lived through this era. These were my wonder years LOL! You do you Bill, and I’ll be here enjoying every minute as you walk me through the greatest era of my life! The years that have had the most impact, for me anyway! Can’t find the words to tell you how grateful I am that I found your channel! ❤️☮️✌️🕊
@@cathygiuliana9089 Haha, it's all good. I would do this 24/7 if I could afford to and I would get to as many places as I could because I love music history and especially when the history is still just recent enough that you can actually go out and even find the house or the building in question.
The first week of august 1964 , US warships under the command of U.S navy admiral George Stephen MORRISON ( yes Jim Morrison's father ) , allegedly come under attack while patrolling Vietnam's Tonkin gulf ....This "incident" will result in the immediate passing by the US Congress of the "Tonkin gulf resolution , Which will lead to the US's invasion into the long , bloody , tremendously expensive Vietnam war ... Peculiar that the father's of peace loving/hippie music's most fabled icon, happens to be the admiral who threw a whole generation into one of the longest war usa ever fought abroad ....
@@OspreyFlyer Yeah , Alice's rabbit hole is deep in this fabled laurel canyon .....I got MANY more of that nature in stock ......Like how Charles Manson was mentored by Frank Costello in prison before being released in san Francisco , by the time Hunter S Thompson and Ken Keasey introduced the biker gangs to LSD ...Frank Costello who primarily tied to the rise in the illegal booze market of Joseph « Joe » Kennedy pre 1933 , and then tied to Carlos Marcello his associate , that ended up taking the control of the New Orleans' illegal scene , before being convoked by the senate comity on illegal crime by Robert Kennedy the 24th March of 1959....Manson who will Turn out to murder using his LSD fuelled pawns , Abigail Folger who was a notable financier of Robert Kennedy as well as a campaign aid ( but "weirdly" that' rarely mentioned in her bio ) , Robert who was Killed just a few months earlier in the ambassador hotel 3400 Wilshire boulevard ....not far away from .....Laurel Canyon
The biggest break I got in life was being born in 1949. I hit the sixties running. I was born in manchester but I now reside in Liverpool. Laurel Canyons output of popular music beggars belief.

Great music before they became world famous. Those were the days my friend.
Thank you so much!
Me too. Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Soft Machine opening for Canned Heat. I have photos from when I saw Joe Walsh with the Measles at Summit Mall in West Akron.
Great days,I don't think we will see them again.I would give anything to see it again

I love the houses in this area, the ones that haven’t been destroyed. They aren’t cookie cutter glitzy mansions. It’s just a laid back!

Yes it is an odd and strangely interesting place back there in the hills.
Sad about Jim not coming back he was an intelligent talented young man . R.I.P Jim 🙏 ♥️ 2023.

So did Blind Owl of Canned Heat. Passed at 27 in 1970 a week after Janis and 2 weeks before Jimi Hendrix.

I want to one day take a trip to LA and tour these iconic landmarks and feel the vibes where Jim and the others roamed.... once upon a time 😊❤️
I’ve had the same thought. Do you know if anyone offers a small group tour? Time to walk around during the tour would be great.
I'd do it if I actually lived close to the area. But sadly, I don't. The "real" job is here in Utah. :(

I was born and raised in Laurel Canyon. It was a magical place for a wonderful childhood, but I had moved to New York by 1962 so missed all the hoo haw about it being a musical village.
Me and my kids are planning an 'Almost Famous' trip to stay at the Riot House and get a rental car so we can drive around Laurel Canyon and see it in real life. Love these videos!!! I know that's the Marilyn Manson house because of the bush/tree in front lol
That is awesome! And what??? How do you recognize a bush somehow related to Marilyn Manson? What's that about?
@@memoryfield I had read about the history of that house in a Rolling Stone interview back in the 90s, so I Googled where it was and 'drove around' on Google Street view and found it, so I recognize the entrance and that little bush with the pointed leaves as soon as you showed it, tho I've never been there in person, Appian Way if I remember correctly lol
Did you do an "Almost Famous " tour?? I've wanted to do that!
AF is one of my favorite movies.. Let us know how yours turned out!!
“After the Gold Rush” I thought I recognized the music!! Great doc! Love
The Doors!!
Glad to hear all of that. Lots of Neil Young stories in this series and more Jim Morrison in at least two more after this one.
@@memoryfield yes, I should of waited til the end of your doc to comment,but yes, I watched the one where he wrote People Are
strange. And I agree with u that James Douglas Morrison is the greatest RnR star ever, and I have him in my top ten vocalists also. I mean he could croon like Sinatra, rip his vocal cords like a screaming demon, from love street to moonlight drive to back door man live, incredible performer, poet, singer, he had it all! But I’m not biased;-) And it’s crazy also how many artists came out of laurel Canyon and their connections to the military, but that’s for ur next doc!! Thanks for the reply You have a new sub also….
What a great song 'Love Street' is. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Great series, thanks so much for taking the time and having the interest in producing it. It is a review of my young life (I am 76) and I love looking back on those lovely years.
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed the trip down Memory Lane. We had a great time making these videos as well. Thanks for watching.
Great job on the Laurel Canyon series. I ventured up there in ‘92 up closer toward Appian Way and remember the POI, celeb houses, etc. Must have been a great time to be up there as I was only a year old in ‘67. Ha! Many hit songs written up there. So much inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing that. It is an awesome and magical place, for sure.
Aren't we all relating to and appreciating this in different ways? Great video! I just love the history and honoring the legacy of Jim Morrison. His lifecycle is an neverending sequence of circles and I'm sure his spirit is still alive and well on Love Street.
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks Man, this has been great watching all of Laurel Canyon people's history. I was ten years old in 1969. I still remember all them guys.
Thanks for the comments and thanks so much for watching. Much appreciated!
Thanks. I've never been to L.A., nor to California for that matter so it is nice to tour vicariously these R&R historic sites through your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching. Hope you like all the rest of the series too!
Same here! Graduated high school in western PA in 74 and I still have to get to California! This series is just what I needed!
Love your series. I was out there in early 68, but in Redondo Beach and Santa Monica. I remember people telling me that I should go out to Laurel Canyon, and painted such a visual picture of the wildlife (big cats, deer, etc)flowers so well, that I totally ‘saw it’. The real unsung hero’s in California were those dudes who moved refrigerators!
Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely top quality as usual 👏🏻loved every minute of this
So glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!
Me too. 😁
Thank you for these epic trips down memory lane... and all the deeply dug details. A gold mine..
Very enjoyable. Very comedic ending!! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here.
More great work Billy, i can also almost feel the vibe from all these people , and miss them all
So do I, and I really mean that. What a time to have been alive and been living there. I lament that fact that it seems like back then, if you could play an instrument and write songs then people would at least take you seriously and you had a chance to make it in the music business. Nowadays, not so much. I've been playing the guitar and singing my entire life, but so has everyone else and their dog at this point. No one really seems to take modern music as seriously now as they did back then, at least as an artform and a way to express yourself musically.
Absolutely fascinating and fabulous episodes, giving an insight into the world that is laurel canyon.
So many interesting things to look at in Laurel Canyon & interesting information to be had ...but what stands out to me are the absolutely gorgeous flowers everywhere!! Had to pause to say that - now back to this awesome video!! 🌺🏵🌸💮
You and me both!
Thanks for bringing this on!! I came to LA in 75, I was able to walk all over Laurel. Growing up on the East Coast and following the music it was a dream to walk those streets and witnessed all the events you talk about. I consider myself a lucky guy for sure!!
I have a friend that rented the Norton ave. apt. that Jim Morrison had. He also lived in Laurel Canyon right across from Emily Banks in a cul de sac.
Donald became a studio photographer for many famous shows and movies. He claims that Emily Banks taught him a lot about how to shoot aspiring actresses.
He fondly speaks of his Laurel Canyon days. Not just Emily but also Mama Cass, David Cassidy and others. This was a magical place in a certain time.
That's a cool story. Thanks for sharing. Yes, it was a very special place and still is in many ways.
Billy! this series was so much fun to watch. Got into a rhythm and it just flowed..fun info ..such great music & photos..your style was laid back and perfect for the topic. These episodes brought back so many memories of a golden age in music ..I was sad when I finished all of the episodes and really hoping you will do some other similar project in the near future. Great work! Thanks!
Awesome, thank you for your very nice comments. So glad to hear that you've enjoyed the channel and the series. We've been talking about some more videos and another series in the future but it just takes a lot of time and planning. And money too, lol. Thanks again!
+1.. great job with the narration & information as well. it mustve been tons of work obtaining al0l that info & points of interest. great job tying all of it together, good (mama cass) & not so good (manson family) together. i learned some things. the delivery style is on point as well. i know when the points of interest are arriving just by what i hear in the voice.. great job!
This is just awesome ❤I’m so into this read so much of the. Canyon obsession of mine 🚪🔥
I even know these places 😮
One day I’m coming to visit feel like I’ve been there before anyways but when you live this shit through books etc 🚪🚪🚪🔥🔥🔥🎥🙏🏼🙏🏼
His dad was the Navy admiral in charge of the fleet during the Gulf of Tonkin fiasco
And the Admiral's flagship, the USS Bonhomme burned up in San Diego harbor about a year and a half ago.

Great video and information. I agree with you. Jim was the greatest rock star!
I get very emotional because when I so photographs of my father when he was young be looks very very much like jim morrison
Thank you for this awesome series on Laurel Canyon. The information you share is awesome!
On my bucket list to visit the country store and laurel canyon from here in uk
Better get out there fast then, before they end up tearing everything down. LOL. Seriously, there is a ton of construction going on out there all over the place. Old houses coming down and new, bigger ones going up and sitting on multiple lots.
@@memoryfield hope the vibe is not destroyed
Another great episode, loving the music too. The Doors are probably my favourite band, I'd agree with what you said about Jim being the greatest rock star :)
Yep. We all believe that over here about Jim. Thanks so much for watching!
Great history lesson at the beginning of the video.
I love your vids. You love LC and the musicians of my childhood so much and I do too. I figure Im between your age and your parents’ ages. ❤️ I try to go over the Canyon once a week. Now I know even more stories.
Thank you 🎶🦎☮️
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting thanks 😊
I recently watched another documentary about Laurel Canyon, which shows Jim's connection to the Canyon began before living there. He hung out there a lot and was befriended by the band LOVE, Laurel Canyon residents, who already were under contract with Electra, but wanted out of the contract. It was LOVE who recommended that the Electra brass sign The Doors, hoping that benevolence would get Electra to release them. It didn't work.
Billy, I was born and raised in Southern California in 1960. I remember when Cass Elliott died and when the Manson murders happened. I have read the same disparaging things about John Phillips in recent years. In 2009, his daughter Mackenzie Phillips outlined in her book the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. Long and short - John Phillips was a horrible disgusting person! I hope he’s suffering for his sins…
Such a wonderful series! I spent a lot of time in laurel in my twenties, and had no idea of this amazing history❤️❤️❤️😊
I went in that house prior to the fire for a Jim Morrison bday hang that the owner threw. They showed me Jim's old pink tiled shower that they kept in one piece inside the walls. True story. They had me pull out a medicine cabinet and peak inside and there it was... Also - it had lyrics and poetic lines written in it.. All lost in the fire I imagine.
No, it's STILL there. I've heard many people very recently talk about the hidden shower room and many who have been lucky enough to see it. I don't think the fire messed up the inside of the house, but I know that it has been remodeled extensively over the years. But the various owners have been cool enough to know not to tear out Jim's old shower room. It's still there.
@@memoryfield wow! That’s so cool!😎
The absolute amount of work and effort and care you put into these videos my friend. Kudos to you and absolutely respect. Thank you.
Thank you very much! We appreciate your comments, Joe.
Videos really show the beauty of the area
It really is a very unique and wonderful place.
@@memoryfield Ive watched many of your vids and also Hiking for life's. The both of you give a lot to the viewers. Besides the wonderful and totally cool places and views we get great story telling and enjoyable history lessons. Much appreciated
Thank you for the very kind comments!
love this episode
That you're doing this it's so important to have musical history time and place awesome kudos to you right on I'm from Alameda California I heard that he lived on Alameda avenue his dad was in the military and he did a song about his address at one time I can't remember the address but my girlfriend's from Alameda California 94501 tell me he lived on Alameda avenue and his dad worked at the Alameda base he was there for some time Jim Morrison
Thank you for the brief history of Los Angeles and the development of the canyon. It reminds me how young the city is. I was first there in late 1996, so 26 years ago. That seems like about 5 years ago. 26 years the other side of 1996 was 1970. I wonder are there some older people living there today who were around in the 60's. This was another great episode. I didn't realise that Jim was so young when he died. Drink will catch up with you I guess.
Yes, you're right. Even in the history of the United States, Los Angeles is considered one of the "newer" metropolitan areas that took a long time to really take off and grow. I guess it was the film industry that made it boom. And then when they figured out where to steal all their water from (Owens Valley, CA) there was no stopping the growth, lol.
And yes, Jim lived a very short and very eventful life. He was burned out by the time he was 27. It's all very sad to think of what he may have been able to accomplish if he hadn't fallen under the spell of the drink.
Fantastic job. I can’t get enough. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
The barrel out here in the southwest is a traditional breakfast..can't go wrong with the grandpa meal.. loved how you spiced it up with the chalula sauce.....keep on eating on in the u.s...lpy
Wonderful documentary, full of amazing facts! Bravo!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and for your comments.
I grew up with two older sisters who were very different from each other but I could glean from the way they described Morrison that he had mesmerized them. I also remember a great article in Spin magazine that talked about how he was the last thing in Rock & Roll that embodied a true darkness and artists who came afterwards were easier to define or categorize . I can't understand the artist as well as my two sisters but I think I get it
In 91 when the movie The doors come out I was 25 years old living in a small Virginia Town I was supposed to leave for Los Angeles the following Monday went and seen the doors I think on Friday night left the theater feeling like I was tripping I'll never forget the feeling flying into Los Angeles I'm thinking of the song love Street I'm not going to say why I was in LA but I made good money I remember flying in at night to LAX and it was so surreal. Anyway I spent the next week out there but I was in lomita down next to Long Beach I got paid my money and I come home until the next two weeks when things was ready for me to go back to LA make more money I was connected with a very popular biker gang and they liked me because I was crazy enough to get on a jet plane leaving Greensboro North Carolina flying to Los Angeles bring in what they was Paying me to bring I'll never forget them Days inn Los Angeles it was so magical from La all the way up to San Bernardino I'm so sad now to see the city with all the homelessness and all the other bad stuff going on it's a shame our country is not what it was back then California hasn't changed much I remember going up to I can't think of the street Sharon Tate lived on with Roman Polanski and the cops pulled me and the two girls I was with we was in a Honda honey bee I had hair halfway down my back had stuff in my pocket that would probably put me in prison for at least 2 years and easily talked my way out of it with my Southern accent and I remember going up to Mulholland drive we had such a wonderful time up there me and the two girls actually they were sisters I didn't realize that sisters would do the things that these two done together I'm not going to say what but we had a damn good time anyway La was a magical place the cops in cars the topless bars never saw a woman so alone such simple but magical lyrics rip Jim Morrison, Ray manzarek I'm not sure if John and Robbie are still alive or not I don't keep up with rock and roll like I did when I was younger. Jesus Christ is who I follow now but I'll never forget them magical days when I was 25 in LA. Thank you sir you have done a wonderful job with this I'm sure I'll watch all of your videos. I could sit here and tell my entire story every trip I took to LA I didn't realize that a 25 year old could have such a good time I could probably write a book on my life they probably sell anyway thank you. ✌🏻
I love the door music ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
loved it! thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great history, and nice Love Street cover! the Morrison quotes.
So, who then is the Australian equivalent to our American Jim Morrison?
@@memoryfield there's no one with quite that legend. INXS's Michael Hutchence died young, was a sex symbol.
@@paulchapman112 Kylie Minogue 😁
@@memoryfield right up there with cafe latte (as you put it) Britney Spears.
hey, hi Billy and the whole team, it's been a long time since I've seen your videos appear. I subscribe in case after a period without, you download your videos without me noticing. Thanks to Billy for showing me around the local grocery store. Jim Morrison actually has a history with Laurel Canyon between 1968 and 1969, which does not correspond to the best period of the Doors. In fact, towards the end of 1968, the group even had kingpin accents. It was LA's acclaimed band that was really his base. He had withdrawn a little to this city because of the problems he had everywhere else and, you could feel it in the atmosphere during the performances. Jim Morrison survived The Doors because he's one of America's greatest songwriters. Jim embodied a character from Greek antiquity to express his music that he stole from other doors or that came from himself. He was the conductor of music that had a touch of Allegro. It is this touch that makes his music timeless. But laurel Canyon is not the best period of Jim nor the 6 months which followed. It was Robbie who kind of did the work in '69 being very creative with the blues. But Jim has released a very interesting thesis on the cinema which he compares to the shadows that the prisoners of a cave see on its walls and which Plato exposed in a text. It's very interesting to dig into.
Loved all those videos Billy, keep up the good work, we like to listen to all the videos you have, you're the man. Waving hand from Ventura Calif
Thank you, Robbie. That is all very much appreciated! I got a parking ticket in Ventura once, many years ago, lol.
Bill ,I discovered ( by discovered I mean to say that no one pointed it out to me) a very interesting connection between the Doors and Pink Floyd,or more specifically Jim Morrison and Dave Gilmour.It has to do with the song "Love Street".In the song,during the middle 8 ,Jim is kind of making random musings .He says(not sings)"She lives on LOVE STREET.At the store where the creatures meet...I wonder what they DO in there?".Then he says,"SUMMER SUNDAY,AND A YEAR...."Then a couple of years later,in 1970,Pink Floyd release the album,"ATOM HEART MOTHER"(with the cow on the cover)On the fourth song,"FAT OLD SUN"a beautiful pastoral ballad,about 2 verses in,Dave has verbatim,the line from "LOVE STREET" ,"SUMMER SUNDAY,AND A YEAR".......I think it's Dave's nod to Jim saying,well done on the song ,"LOVE STREET"a very warm PLEASENT tune......
That's really cool that you were able to find that connection between all of them. I'll tell you something else, I know that Pink Floyd were totally into the music that was coming out of this area back in the late 60's. Rumor has it that they were also obsessed with Frank Zappa and his music and they paid a visit to him at the old Log Cabin during a time they were in LA in 1968. Frank took them down in the basement and showed them some things he was working on and all they would do was just look at each other and then look back at Frank and nod in approval. They hardly said anything, but would just nod their heads when they liked what they heard.
If you Google maps Tavern Trail and follow it like you did, it turns into Lucille trail, which then turns into Rothwell trail which you were on. Awesome job!
Really like the background music, which I'm guessing is for copyright reasons.....totally works though!
Thank You!
You're welcome!
Watching all your videos great work, I m from nova scotia were denny dorherty is from and sadly buried.
Oh wow! I didn't realize that they had him brought all the way back to Nova Scotia, but I guess it totally makes sense. Thanks for watching!
Excellent! Thanks for posting! 👍
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Great research, visuals.
Enjoyed.
Nice one bud,,,
Enjoyed ya vlog
Rich from the UK
👍
I was lucky enough to of met Ray many a yr ago,,, in the uk,,, he was such a nice guy,,,,, the Doors to me were and are unique,,, I visited Jim’s resting place just outta Paris,,,, words can’t explain it,,,
Awesome thank you! Glad you found us here.
Would have loved to have met Ray. He always seemed so level-headed and down to earth.
Once I had a old friend who knew me when I was younger and now I don't hear much from them anymore but I hope they will remember me when I was younger and I never thought of them lately because I didn't want boast lol
Really enjoyed the history of THE DOORS! He was the male counterpart to Cass Elliot! So intelligent but trying to adapt to the superstardom he had. Very unfortunate that he passed away in 1971. Remember him by this time. Laurel Canyon really started the Rock n Roll at this point. The Doors sound was the beginning for sure. By the time LA WOMAN was released in 1971 their sound was trending towards Rock n Roll.
I'm really loving this but I wish everything was narrated because I'm mostly listening and glancing over every once in a while as I do other things. I feel like I'm missing some info concerning the early history. My loss I suppose but it's an awesome documentary so thank you so much
Same here! 😂
Thanks man.
No problem. Had a total blast doing all of this!
About the Doors movie. I distinctly remember Ray Manzarek going on about how great Val Kilmer was in that movie. Like Jim possessed him. Then, a few years later, they all slam it. I remember it and was surprised at the change in opinion.
Yes, I noticed some of that too. I think Ray liked what he thought the movie was going to portray but then after he saw the final edit he most definitely changed his opinions on the film.
I agree he became Jim Morrison
In 1959-60 when I was 7 years old,I lived in a small town in Pinellas County,Florida in LARGO,a suburb of CLEARWATER....In reading JIM MORRISONS biography,I learned that right around that time,a 15 year old Jim lived with his grandparents just a couple of miles from where I lived in Clearwater.......
It's a very small world, isn't it? Who knew that the 15-year-old Jim would someday become the lead singer for The Doors? Even he didn't know!
Jim lived on love Street lingered long on love Street ❤️
I used to live in the red bungalow at the top of Rothdell trail
Well done..
Thank you much!
So...I used Google Earth to locate the Morrison house, traverse to about the middle of the house (@ 19:12 of your video) and look at the double windows on the second floor. Made me laugh....and freaked out. LOL.
The little friend...
Me and jim morrison existed on the earth at the same time for 4 months only
Please do Brian Wilson bel air and bellagio road homes next
Great ending with all the bottles lol
Yes, that was a strange moment in time. LOL!
This video really started at 18:00 around Jim's quotes all the way through to the pictures I've never seen(and I'm a big Doors enthusiast)! Where did you get these? Congrats on an endeavor well-tended!
tavern trail Saw a laurel Hardy movie where they were pushing a piano up stairs like these wonder if it's the same place ?
That's actually over in the Silver Lake area of LA.
The Music Box Steps are near the intersection of Del Monte Dr. and 935 N. Vendome St. 😃
To understand what Laurel Canyon is (or more correctly was) is to understand what it was not: Beverly Hills.
I had a single in Venice in 1973 .Only cost $125 a month
In those days way up here in nortern california about a hundred miles north east of reno there was a different vibe i think it was a lot like laurel canyon , the vibe is gone here but i think its still in laurel canyon
Most of it seems to be gone down there too. If you know the history, that's one thing. But if you're just hauling ass thru there to get to Studio City I don't think most of those people care at all about what was in there at one time or another. It's just a cut-thru now. Kind of sad, really.
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
I Won’t Debate you on that! Totally Correct!
Hey billy 😎👋
Yes sir!
@@memoryfield I’m a woman Billy, well I was the last time I looked 🤣❤
My apologies, Ma'am. LOL.
Hahaha, I turned two years old on 11/15/1966!
Love these videos Bill! So glad you didn’t like Oliver Stone’s shitshow about The Doors! I wouldn’t even go see it. Thanks for helping to set the facts straight! Another great one! Will you ever come to the East Coast and do some Rockumentaries about late sixties and early seventies bands that got started in East Village in NY?
I doubt if I'll live long enough to cover every single area and time period in rock music history, lol. I still have to hit the UK too!
@@memoryfield sorry Bill, that was pretty selfish of me especially because I can only imagine the hard work it takes for you to put out these videos and then to go back and keep reediting because you are a perfectionist! Your videos are amazing and I’ve learned so much from watching them and I lived through this era. These were my wonder years LOL! You do you Bill, and I’ll be here enjoying every minute as you walk me through the greatest era of my life! The years that have had the most impact, for me anyway! Can’t find the words to tell you how grateful I am that I found your channel! ❤️☮️✌️🕊
@@cathygiuliana9089 Haha, it's all good. I would do this 24/7 if I could afford to and I would get to as many places as I could because I love music history and especially when the history is still just recent enough that you can actually go out and even find the house or the building in question.
Well Jim did not half to walk far at all to go get a drink and a sandwitch
The first week of august 1964 , US warships under the command of U.S navy admiral George Stephen MORRISON ( yes Jim Morrison's father ) , allegedly come under attack while patrolling Vietnam's Tonkin gulf ....This "incident" will result in the immediate passing by the US Congress of the "Tonkin gulf resolution , Which will lead to the US's invasion into the long , bloody , tremendously expensive Vietnam war ...
Peculiar that the father's of peace loving/hippie music's most fabled icon, happens to be the admiral who threw a whole generation into one of the longest war usa ever fought abroad ....
Wow!
@@OspreyFlyer Yeah , Alice's rabbit hole is deep in this fabled laurel canyon .....I got MANY more of that nature in stock ......Like how Charles Manson was mentored by Frank Costello in prison before being released in san Francisco , by the time Hunter S Thompson and Ken Keasey introduced the biker gangs to LSD ...Frank Costello who primarily tied to the rise in the illegal booze market of Joseph « Joe » Kennedy pre 1933 , and then tied to Carlos Marcello his associate , that ended up taking the control of the New Orleans' illegal scene , before being convoked by the senate comity on illegal crime by Robert Kennedy the 24th March of 1959....Manson who will Turn out to murder using his LSD fuelled pawns , Abigail Folger who was a notable financier of Robert Kennedy as well as a campaign aid ( but "weirdly" that' rarely mentioned in her bio ) , Robert who was Killed just a few months earlier in the ambassador hotel 3400 Wilshire boulevard ....not far away from .....Laurel Canyon
🦎In My dreams 🦎
I agree about Jim Morrison. Oliver Stone is an AH for allowing him to be portrayed that way.
