You said, it CharlyBrown! It was a good, healthy time. Thank you for watching the video. Fred : )

Glad you enjoyed it, Simon-d8n. Thank you for watching the video. Fred : )

Oh, that's awesome, Tracie! Brenda and I were surfing KZbin when she told me to look for The Sunshine Family. She told me that she and her cousin, Sherry, played with them all the time. So secretly, I went onto eBay and bought that bunch of stuff that you see on the video. You're watching her see it for the first time. I had set them up in our library room for when she got off of work and then opened the door for her. It was pretty funny... all of the stories... I'm sure you have a ton of your own memories. I'm glad that you enjoyed seeing the Sunshine Family again too. -Fred : )

You're so right, Tony! It's been a while since sanity reigned. Thank you for watching the video. Fred : )

Thank you for the recognition. I have been an icon in my own mind until today. Much appreciated. And thank you for watching. -Fred : )

Thank you, Rekharavisajit. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love that performance. Fred : )

He is really something special. I put my hand up and got to shake his hand. He is such a great talent and a nice, human, man. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

Yeah, isn't that great? Loved Cheech and Chong. Thank you for watching the video, Russ! -Fred : )

Yeah, just not as huge people in that space anymore. Lol. Thank you for watching, Robbeinl8176. -Fred : )

Hi Sun Of Krypton, yes, it's like that again. We've been over there several times in the past couple of months, and it's heating up. Nice restaurants though to keep you out of the heat. Thank you for watching. Fred : )

That's great that you enjoyed the video, ReTrounderGround1. Yes, it is the same video that you probably saw quite a while ago. For a long time, I posted videos without comments because I had had a bad experience one time when I posted a video of then President Obama driving out from NBC, and people put all sorts of very inappropriate comments. KZbin didn't have as good monitoring devices back then. So recently, I went and undid the lock on some of those older videos. I also ended up reposting it with some of my Logo stuff, so that's why it's not showing as old as it was originally posted. Anyways, yes, I was a huge BB fan as well, as you can tell from my video. I think I mentioned in the video that I ended up meeting all of them, except for Sam the Butcher. I even met Sherwood Schwartz himself while my buddy and I were visiting Paramount Studios (the time I mentioned that I ran and down the stairs... I think they were making a Very Brady Christmas). I really appreciate you having watch the video. My narration skills were (and are still) terrible, so thank you for enduring that! Lol. -Fred : )

It was such a great performance!

You bet, Eddie! You guys are stellar on those iron horses. Such tight turns. Wow! We'll be there next year. I told someone at the Burbank Police Department (I used to live there) to join in next year!

I don't know. Good question! Thank you for watching! Fred : )

Thanks for your answer anyway ! @@FredHerrman

So many trains go by there.

It was like an alien attack, Thelby. They were all around us! Lol. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

I'm glad that you enjoyed the show. It was the best live show I've personally ever seen. And I've seen a lot of bands. -Fred : )

Hi Andrea, we actually went to see the show twice during his residency, and he substituted a lot of songs between differing performances. For instance, he didn't do, "Who Wouldn't Want To Be Me?" the first time we went, but he did the second time. And I spoke with some people in the pit who had been there three and four times, and they said that he switches songs all the time. So chances are that he did perform "Brown Eyes Baby" during a few of those performances. Just not that last night that I video'd. If you haven't seen him live, you definitely want to. It was probably the best live performance I've ever been to. And as I said in my video notes, I have seen literally hundreds of band performances during my lifetime. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

Hi Scott. Yes, I was definitely glad to have been working out that day and that hour when they decided to do this photo. They basically swept everyone out from the gym at got them outside. That's what I mean; at any point on the day, there were a lot of serious bodybuilders there. I don't recall if Vince's Gym had closed yet, but this Gold's Gym was pretty much the only serious free-weight gym that I knew of in the Valley back then. There were Sports Connection on Sepulveda and some others, but they weren't the serious gyms that Gold's was. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

Hi Mimi, it think it was Tahoe Bowl. It's the one in South Lake Tahoe along the shoreline. I've GOT to practice!!! Fred : )

So good, Naif. I agree with you. It was just one of those greatly blended performances. Thank you for watching the video! Fred : )

It was great to find myself unexpectedly sitting at a Blue Öyster Cult concert when I had no idea they'd be at the fair, Henry. It was a lot of fun. And no miniature Stonehenge set pieces descended on cables or anything. Just music. Fred : )

I saw him on a few occasions and met him once in Santa Monica. He was very kind and friendly. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

honest and greedy at the same time ,his son has his fathers half a billion dollars in Art work in L.a,WHILE the rest of the homeless sleep outside ,terrible mean ,just wealthy people who take ,and never give back to community wtf

I remember Muscle and Fitness, and I saw his Weider Building in Woodland Hills one time. I was walking down the step from it when Tom Platz was walking up past me to the front doors. He was wearing a fitted suit, and his legs looked like they were going to rip through his pants. That's too bad that Joe and Ben didn't invest more back into the industry. Maybe they saw it as an opportunity that might be fleeting. So perhaps even they underestimated how lasting bodybuilding would be. But that's too bad to hear about his company being a so hard on their advertising clients. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

Little puppies are so irresistible, aren't they CarbonFibreHeart! Fred : )

That's great that you remember it, GeneralPhrenic. It was peaceful to workout at that Golds late at night. I don't recall Miller's Gym. But I was from the Studio City/Sherman Oaks area, so I didn't know the northwest valley that well. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

Valley Gym was a few blocks away on Reseda Blvd. I lived in Reseda and purchased a membership at Valley Gym in 1979. Walked by the Reseda Golds Gym many times, walked in once or twice. Got involved in bodybuilding. Was given a few trophies. Met virtually every bodybuilder mentioned in this video. I’m writing a book about my wacky adventures becoming and being a muscle gal. 💪

That is awesome. Cory Everson was there all the time. She worked out hard! -Fred

Hi David, there are actually four artists' songs in this video. You will find them beneath my "High Speed Aspect" disclaimer. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

Thank you, Jenn! I'm trying to keep some kind of speed up with this crazy puzzle, the Rubik's Cube. I used to be fast at it in high school. Lol. -Fred : )

@@FredHerrman Way better than my time of 34 years and counting. haha

You bet, Ivan. If you like these types of videos, give my channel, Rapid Topography a look-see. You might like it. Here is the link below. Thank you very much for watching my video. -Fred : ) www.youtube.com/@rapidtopography1334

You bet, Steve! Yeah, this was kind of a moment in time when this Gold's Gym, an alternative to the one in Venice, existed and allowed for 24/7 workouts. It was kind of a hideaway for those big body builders who didn't want to work out in the circus that was the Venice location. Many of them lived in the San Fernando Valley anyways, so it made for an easy and somewhat private (from fans) workout at anytime. Thank you for watching. -Fred : )

@@FredHerrman Thanks again brother and greetings from Thailand.

i too did train and compete in Sydney ,at Paul grahams gym and city gym ,won a few titles,then i spent short breaks in world gym LA,next to LOUIS FRETS/BOB PARIS/Arnold was into movies in the 80,s and screwing his maid (got caught later)it was a great silent gym ,Joe Gold was the master of the house.

@@larrydowling Used to train also at City Gym every Sunday. I lived at Newport and would travel into Crown St. just to be around Terry Mitsos, Mick Schonti, Adrian Batho, Paul Haslam and all the guys. Unbelievably great atmosphere in that gym back in the day.

i use to train sometimes with SCIONTI ,good training partner,bad individual ,but being scilcilan docent help either.Mick has great shape and should have won universe many times ,but competition increased in his weight class 100%,it was hugely difficult to choose ,i did place in the MR World darling harbour.and i won my weight class in Sydney ,plus overall,but sadly i had to hang my weights up,i miss my training at world in L.A,next to them pros ,amazing place.but Sydney was a selfish separate environment to train. @@CryptoSteve007

Thank you, pongop. I appreciate your having watched the video. -Fred : )

@@FredHerrman Thank you for sharing!

Thank you. I was just tinkering around and was having too much fun. Lol. Fred : )

We are their playthings. Lol. Thank you Dacia.

Thank you, Dacia! We usually get so little rain that we had to take a good look at it to believe it! LOL. Thank you for watching. -Fred : )

Thank you! They keep us occupied to say the least! -Fred : )

Thank you, Dacia. We love the so much! Every day they do something that delights us through their surprising, silly behaviors. Today, the white one (Abby) took some of the stuffed animals that Frodo (the smallest one) was playing with, and piled them up behind her and made Frodo jump on top of her to get to them. It was so funny! Thank you for watching the video! -Fred : )

Thank you, Dorian! I really appreciate it. I love jazz and wish I played the piano like that. Thank you for watching the video. -Fred : )

Thank you, Dacia. I appreciate you watching! -Fred : )

Yes, I agree with you. It would have made more sense. I think I was up very late that night making the video, and so I grabbed the most convenient photo. But you make a good point. Thank you for watching! -Fred : )

Thank you, Dacia! They are clowns, but we love them so! Thank you for watching. -Fred : )

Yea could be Ric standing right in front of the door?

Rick also went to PowerSource in Burbank back in the day. It was on E Verdugo Ave and 1st St (now S Ikea Way), northeast corner of that intersection. My friend worked there and saw him all the time. -Fred : )

Thank you Dacia. They are clowns, and we love them! -Fred : )

Hi The Ripper, thank you for your comments about the Reseda Gold's Gym video that I did. I really appreciate it. Those years were really special for me because I found solitude and serenity in working out at night at that gym. It was kind of out of the way and one could just focus on one's workout uninterrupted. Since you were an employee at the Power Source, you must have known my friend Robert who helped run the gym in it's later years. He is a good friend of mine (who is featured in the Reseda Golds Gym video that you watched), and he really liked helping manage the Power Source. I lived in Burbank for 21 years, so I know it like the back of my hand. Thank you again for watching the video. -Fred : )

Thanks Dacia Travel. Brenda is so scared of snakes. She's always asking me whenever we go somewhere outdoors, "Could there be snakes here?" So I thought that a fake snake would get her prepped for a double scare. It worked! Thanks again for watching the video! -Fred

Thank you. I only recently heard this song for the first time, and when I did, I knew I had to make a silly video to it. I don't know why, but I just felt it. Thank you for watching it. -Fred
