I was going to dismiss it, but then I was pulled into it. If you grew up during the 1960's and early 1970's you might enjoy it. It's quite well done. There's a lot of inside information and surprising links between bands and people, like Peter Tork and David Crosby, etc...
Here is episode number one, and then you can follow his links...

I'm basically a student of Laurel Canyon and have read books and watched a ton of videos. I can tell a lot of the story from memory although I somehow never managed to walk into the Troubadour or the Whiskey. I drove by many times in those days. Somehow I missed this series, so thanks. I'll be binging starting tonight.
Somehow I managed to go up Kings Rd from Sunset Blvd quite a bit. The only time I was on Laurel Cyn was to turn left from Hollywood to get to Sunset. At that intersection was the famous Pandora's Box. I did make it in there once. I didn't have a lot of money. What I had I spent on gas.
I would have been useless and an outsider in that world. I was born a hot rodder from the outset and have no musical talent or creativity. They wouldn't have understood me and I would have been a waste of their time. If it didn't have something to do with a car, I was not interested.
Edit: I watched 4 episodes last night. The guy is a researcher for sure. His presentation is barely tolerable. If it wasn't for the information he has turned up, I wouldn't bother. An I wonder about flying drones over private property, showing addresses and license plates. I wouldn't do what he did. BTW, the series was filmed many years ago according to him. Not that changes history. He has re-edited the series and put it back up 2 years ago.
I could be wrong, but I thought that's what he said.
