@Gray Storm In 1963, you could have bought a Kodak Brownie spring wind movie camera for about $30. After you finished filming on both sides on the roll (about $5), you sent the film reel to Kodak. They processed the film, slit it down the middle, and joined both of the narrower 8mm strips together, and mailed the processed film back to you, which is why all old 8mm home movies had an intermission.

Wow, I recognize this stretch of Sunset. At 0:07, that light is Horn and Sunset, which is where the famous Tower Records was located. At 0:30, that building that says, "Come to the Party" will become the Whisky a Go-Go the following year (that's Sunset and San Vicente). At 0:56, "Largo" will become the Roxy Theater in 1974. Next door, the building that says, "Villa Nova" will become the Rainbow Bar and Grill in 1972. Lastly, at 1:06, that empty lot with the sign that says, "Archer 5-5555," that's N Wetherly and Sunset, that will become Gazzarri's in 1967. This is truly amazing footage, just a year before the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan. You think about all of the bands/artists that came thru those clubs during the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s...remarkable....and I was very lucky to have been able to play all three of those clubs in the mid 80s. :)

S@@andrewz4537 It depends on which way you come up/down Sunset. From San Vicente to Doheny (which is west on Sunset from the 101), it's the Whisky, the Roxy, the Rainbow and then Gazzarri's...or what used to be Gazzarri's. It closed in 1993 and then the building was torn down in 1994. It was rebuilt in 1995 and then went thru several name changes - The Key Club being one. Of course, if you go east on Sunset (from the 405), then the order is reversed and Gazzarri's would be first. :)
