[@LuckyLarue9429]

I saw Richie Furay there many years ago. Great little gem.

[@terenzo50]

Yes! The tables are like the old Troubadour! First thing I said when I first walked in there. Saw a lot of great musicians at the Coach House and ate a lot of their rib eye steak dinners, too! Hope you enjoyed your time at this great venue in a great little town!

[@beckyevepete]

What a cool place!!! I'd say break a leg, but for you 🖕🖕!! Love these videos❤ Very cool sax too!

[@johncopeland3826]

I now know why artists employ you Mr Sklar and have done for decades ! Apart from your musical talent , it's your sense of humour and wit . All of those guys past and present know a funny ,class act when they see one ! I know I do .

[@sallyesquivel7704]

I saw the Immediate Family and saw you guys go up and down from the stairs. It is interesting to see what is up there! The venue was different from the last time I attended. I remember the Troubadour concerts, it is a nice tribute to arrange the tables that way.

[@sherriemartin2930]

You're right, the Coach House is iconic! I've been there so many times and will be there on Saturday to see Henry - it's such a laid back, fun place to see artists. Enjoy!

Hi Leland, I am so honored that Rik introduced me to you. It was the best concert that I have ever attended. It was so fun to meet the band members. Please say hi to Steve for me. He is such a kind man, as all of you are and such talented musicians. Thank you again for signing your book for me. By the way, I love your channel. I love seeing all the venues and the band members. Also, please thank Brad for playing his horn before the concert in front of The Coach House. Be careful on the road and enjoy your extended family. Thank you again, Michelle

Thank you for all your behind the scenes video, but especially this one! Have a great show!

I’m warming to the silver bell. Life on the road is exiting, exhilarating and exhausting but to vicariously travel with you is simply illuminating and inspiring! Have a great show.

[@craigreid7178]

I can relate to tight stages. I used to play at a place called "Millers" in Charlottesville, Va, where Dave Matthews used to be a bar tender and that stage was so small I used to have to set up and stand on the floor next to the stage, right next to the front door of the place. That was TIGHT!. LOL!

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

Brilliant - what a tour - and I loved the Brad scene - so delightful.

[@RichArtLove]

Gary Folgner is an old chum (He Owns The Joint) from days long before The Coach House existed. Given that it's basically a local dive I'm forever astounded how it's become such a long standing & beloved music venue. It's a really a funky beach town roadhouse, and like all of us nowadays, a soulful throwback from out of the analog past. Stoked you took the time to document it Lee. Thanks!

😃😃. Wow! You haven't seen a venue until you've taken the Sklar tour!!!! Also wondering if there's some sort of Clubhouse inner sanctum with special keys, incantations, and relics (actually, that would probably be "Everybody Loves Me" on the relics and Zoom for the secret society. Better than tombs and Geronimo's skeleton. ((Look up either one of the Bushes and Geronimo's skull))). Lovely weather and some sweet saxophone too!

Bass guitar you mean?

No idea. I only remember seeing him play acoustic (although we all went out dancing years before that at a place where he was working with a band I couldn't begin to remember); I never saw him with Dick Dale so who knows (though what I remember involved "guitar" and not bass). I believe there was a "Great Balls of Fire" story we all remember, however.

@@Mark_Brooks No memory of it Mark, but I do remember fondly The Matrix which was a nightclub in San Francisco from 1965 to 1972. ‘…The Matrix opened 13 August 1965, showcasing Jefferson Airplane, which singer Marty Balin had put together as the club's "house band". Balin had persuaded three limited partners to put up $3,000 apiece to finance the club's opening, giving them 75 percent ownership, while he retained 25 percent for creating and managing it…The Matrix was a favorite haunt of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson in the late 1960s - it was mentioned briefly in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas during a flashback scene. Thompson was a contributing editor for Rolling Stone magazine (founded in 1967 in San Francisco)…’
