Your perception doesn't match reality. LA was in the midst of the PCP epidemic in the early '80s with drive-by shootings and turfs wars between street gangs like the Crips and Bloods. I know it's just a movie, but watch the movie "Colors" from the mid '80s for a taste of what was going on in LA at that time. The violent crime rate was double in the '80s what it is now and "Illegals" were every bit the problem back then that they are now.. As for "livability" of LA in the early '80s, smog was so much worse than now, and gasoline prices and interest rates for cars and homes were through the roof with the prime rate pushing 20%. Yeah, there were fewer cars and people in SoCal back then, but there were also fewer freeways and the ones that were there had fewer lanes, no diamond lanes, etc. I lived there then and now and there are things I miss about the '80s, but also things I don't miss. Both then and now have pros and cons.

Thx for posting these video's. Brings back so many memories when, coming from Europe, I was visiting relatives in L.A. I really wish I could go back to that era, which was so very special. It's almost like craving. And see my relatives again, who sadly passed away in the mean time.
I was a teenager then in Los Angeles how I wish I could go back in time if I knew what was coming I would have treasured every single day …. Those were the days my friend I loved the sixties even more!!!! Everything changed in the early eighties!
The Beetle was the most common car in America for a few years. Remember when the Auto Trader was chock-full of them? Now you hardly ever see one, at least the old style.
Just imagine being there watching a concert of your favourite band and then you could meet all those amazing rock musicians from the 70s...the dream of a "groupie" like me, I wanna cry
What an outstanding restoration. To think of all of the stories and lives of people who were from before, current to that date, born during, grew up young and all those who have long since passed whose stories have been lost. Los Angeles truly had the chance to be the shining city on a hill for all eternity. We need to find our way back.
Cars of the 70's were so much better looking than the rolling "suppositories" of today! 🤣😂🤣 I remember Giorgio's in Beverly Hills... went there once while in college on the 80's, with a couple of friends. The girl tried on $2,000.00 cocktail dresses for fun, while my other friend and I had glass of wine while browsing cashmere sweaters, and checking out the pool table! 🥂🎱 We managed to see Larry Gatlin of the "Gatlin Brothers" leaving with a suit from Jerry Magnin, and Richard Simmons walking on the sidewalk. 😎 Oh, the good old days in LA, before it went to shit! 😝
Seeing how things are today in 2022, I sometimes have to take a look back to see how it was. Things seem so messed up today that I'm really missin several yesterdays.
Thanks for posting. Someone from the 1970's would be shocked how clean L.A.'s air is today (those cars were actually rolling chimneys) ... and how crappy pretty much everything else is.
Yeah, about the only thing that has actually improved since that time is air quality. Smog was WAY worse back then compared to what it is now, even with more cars on the road these days. I can remember major smog alerts and PE being canceled at school because the air was so bad. LA was covered in a perpetual brown cloud of toxic air. This must have been filmed on an rare clear day, maybe after a bit of rain.
The air was bad late 60’s but not every single day. We had pretty wet years where the air was cleaned out consistently and vehicle smog systems were around by mid 70’s. Some days were better than others. Even though life is easier now people still think it’s difficult today. Those cars you see broke down constantly. There was not much comfort for the little guy with no pc’s, no cell phones, no vcrs or dvds, no laptops, cars that really underperformed compared to today, no cable tv (just a few channels).
@@mmartin5707 Comfort is what you make of it. We didn't have PC's or cell phones or vcr's but we didn't need them or want them because they didn't exist. We were plenty comfortable back then and we never longed for anything more.
@@redtra236 Yeah, seat belt use was almost nonexistent. I was that rare teenager back then that wore both the lap and shoulder belts when I drove. Aside from the obvious safety aspect of buckling up, the car actually drove and handled better with the belts buckled. It was my grandfather's hand me down 1970 Buick Electra. One night a couple of years later the belts along with the size and quality of the Electra saved me in a head on collision with a drunk driver in a Chevrolet suburban. The general driving population was just too dumb and lazy to buckle up. My Electra had separate lap and shoulder belts with two separate buckles to fasten which most thought was a terrible inconvenience. I always got in the car, pushed in the cigarette lighter, buckled up both belts, lit a cigarette and then drove off. Two habits that continue to this day.
@@redtra236 You are probably correct, but the seat belts most likely saved my life or at least prevented serious injuries when I was in a head on collision when I was 20. The jury is still out on the smoking habit.
No, you are absolutely wrong. Welcome to the future, things change, not everything can look the same. Stop acting like boomers, seriously "pills on wheels" tf is that supposed to mean? Now you sound like a childish boomer
70s/60s cars look the same too, not gonna lie, just look at them, the same curves and angels. All seem just boxy, cars today definitely have more variety if you pay attention to them.
Interesting video, but it's not just from the 70s. As noted below, some footage is from the 60s. Also, the Chevy police car at 3:20 is an early 1980's model, and also a K car (1980s) from the same clip.
That's what I'm saying! That particular generation of the Chevy Caprice didn't become more widespread until the 1980s. That clip from 2:57 to 3:27 seems to be from the latter half of the early 1980s (as in 1982 or especially 1983) to the mid-1980s. Hell, maybe it's even from the late 80s, but I'm unsure. It certainly isn't the 70s, that's for sure.

@@nativetexanful My son lives near Sunset and Hillhurst and the rent he pays for just a bedroom is outrageous!!! I don't know how people can afford living there now.
It's kind of amazing how much things changed back then in terms of clothing, cars, etc. Like in this video from the late '70s, those characteristics are radically different than say just 10 years later in the late '80s, which was radically different than another 10 years later in the late '90s. But if you look at the way things are evolving now, I would argue that fashion, cars, and other elements of design that are typically products of their time are far less different than 10 or even 15 years ago as they used to be. Does that make sense?

First show was the Santa Barbara Bowl. Next the Hollywood Palladium at Sunset Boulevard.
Best of times of my life!
Just saw Hamish now on tour with Ringo Starr's All-Star Band.
Very cool that they decided to document all this on video. Nice clear footage. Simpler times.
すべてが美しいです。永遠に眺めていたい。
The fact that someone in 1970 that was 20 years old then would be 73 years old today is really fucking scary to me
Great music then, men were men and women were women!!! ❤️❤️
And cars were cars, not themper mental crap.
70's Lowriders in the 70's... BEAUTIFUL...
And now, it makes me sad think that almost all of the cars shown in the video are scrap
Great video and music!
Those Cars are the Dutch bikes of today in Holland!!! Still big and classic
AWB "I'M THE ONE" FONKAY 😎 & DEFINITELY ROCKING ALL THE HOUSE PARTIES IN SOUTH L.A IN '75
Niiiice! The good ol days. Not like now when every car looks the same. 👍
This is great remind me living in Nashville tn in the 70s with out the palm 🌴 thanks again
What a time to have been alive
No time like the present to be alive. Someday people will look back on now as the golden age.

Both NY & LA in the 70's was very historical & awesome 👍
NYC wasn’t a great place in the 70’s and it’s quickly returning to that again.
@@MPerry-ox9qb I guess it depends on what your into & how you look at it
I love LA but the truth is that it was very dangerous starting in the 70s and peaking in the 90s. Now it is pretty safe for the most part.
@@shrayesraman5192 I agree 💯 I grew up in the late 80' early 90's in LA very dangerous lots of drive-by's car jackings ECT..but now it's just as crazy I think but in a whole nether way
Hard to look at L.A. today and think that it was like this at one time.
Clean streets, better-dressed people, and very few homeless. For sure, those were better times. Rents were affordable back then, too.
@@Luca-nu2zg Dude LA was very diverse back than. The problem is just politics.
One thing that wasn’t better was crime. Crime was way worse in l.a back then.
Inveigh oh yeah and pollution but la had way better clean streets in the 70s and 80s it has always been a mess in la
@@nativetexanful My son lives near Sunset and Hillhurst and the rent he pays for just a bedroom is outrageous!!! I don't know how people can afford living there now.
This music awesome
could it be the( average white band ?? )
@@peterGu895 what the fuck was his comment supposed to mean?
@@hihello8771 the name of the group is Average White Band.
@@matthewnorman2547 that's fucking hilarious
Love those Cars!
Nothin like a big'ol Detroit !
🚬👓...
There was a 720 Datsun pickup they came out in 1980 cool watching those old school cars
It's kind of amazing how much things changed back then in terms of clothing, cars, etc. Like in this video from the late '70s, those characteristics are radically different than say just 10 years later in the late '80s, which was radically different than another 10 years later in the late '90s. But if you look at the way things are evolving now, I would argue that fashion, cars, and other elements of design that are typically products of their time are far less different than 10 or even 15 years ago as they used to be. Does that make sense?
Yes absolutley
Yes, I agree
@martinwheatley7218 wdym? 2000s we had terrible pop and plastic toy cars being sold to us. 2010s we had prank videos, vlogs and Teslas.
Lowriding still the same since the 70's props to the chicano community that keep things old school
Unbelievable. Didn't know that in LA no one uses turn signal since the 70s.
I just saw a girl riding her bike in the video and it put a smile on my face because you don’t see that anymore.
you should totally look up amsterdam
thank you for bringing up beautiful memories! Life sure seemed uncomplicated, didn't it?
At 3:00 they're showing footage from the mid 1980's. In the background is a 1984 Lincoln Mark Coupe.
i got there in 82. On and off in So Cal for some 22 years since then
That Impala at 0:40 looks so badass !
The vid. is showing a 1984 lincoln mark vii, 80s chevy impala police car and 80s datsun pickup!
