sidewinder Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Great stuff. Nice to see the Bullwinkle statue in situ outside the Jay Ward Studio (suprisingly small). Isn't that 'Hamburger Hamlet' place still in operation? Edited May 7, 2011 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I could be wrong, but right at the beginning of the first video, it looked like they panned by the outside of the office they used in the opening montage for the Warner Bros. TV series "77 Sunset Strip." These are really cool. Thanks for sending them along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) The fourth clip has the Playboy Club. Here's how it looks today. PS: A lot of the buildings are still there also, I recognized a lot of them, most of them are about a mile or so west of Amoeba Records.

Adam Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Isn't that 'Hamburger Hamlet' place still in operation? Yes, with Miles Davis's ex, Frances, as the greeter. Had a fine little conversation with her last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watch these clips I expect to see a big Tower Records sign appear on the right with a wooden shack drawing the jazz punters in like a black hole and a couple of free car parks to make things easy. Wrong era and now long gone I guess but nevertheless - alas ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
