Re: Road Tunes Reply #5 – March 17, 2017, 01:22:56 pm Here's one of my favorites...more of an after a long drive, rig set up, sitting in the easy chair under the awning, refreshment in hand, wind down kind of tune.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQvdQSZaDO8And, to get the BP up in the morning, there's this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R06Ul-xtls0 3 Likes
Re: Road Tunes Reply #6 – March 17, 2017, 08:47:22 pm Many of us on LDO were born and raised in the Los Angeles area. A fixture for the many of us was the Whiskey-A-Go-Go.The following selection is an "Open If You Dare" or "Fast Forward Please". Plug it into your LD sound system...sit back and relax as America Rocks the Whiskey. And oh yeah...of the few times I went to the Whiskey this jam could very well have found me and my buddies having a Coca-Cola somewhere in the crowd. https://youtu.be/FTIsCsEYhrYThese guys rock as does the Country.Kent 4 Likes

Re: Road Tunes Reply #16 – March 19, 2017, 02:29:48 am "Back-In-TheDay" I would transfer my favorite movies to cassette tapes and play them in my '71 VW Van.The Blues Brothers was one of my favorite road tapes. The craziest thing was that as the tape played I could visualize the film as I drove down the highway.My V Dub was long gone when Back To The Future came out but to memorialize Chuck Berry one more time in film here is one of my favorites.https://youtu.be/S1i5coU-0_QKent 2 Likes

Re: Road Tunes Reply #20 – March 20, 2017, 02:19:09 pm So much in So Cal.Back when I "tried" my hand at surfing the waves at Huntington Beach my buddies and I saw another California Band at Huntington Beach's Famed Golden Bear...A short history now unfolds...https://youtu.be/8DBsIjjFkxQMy All-Time-Favorite Band played there a couple of times and we had front row seats and wine coolers close enough to pick the strings onGerry's guitar. I looked for a live taping of one of their concerts there but to no avail.None other than The Grateful Dead...https://youtu.be/gzeKo9DmbQ4How many Dead concerts have I seen over the years? Not really sure but I do recall taking my DW to one at the Long Beach Convention Center. It had the first wet bar I'd ever encountered at a Dead Concert. Now there's a Dead date I'll never remember.Kent 2 Likes
