Fleetwood Mac's Wild Year at The VILLAGE RECORDERS

[@joydunn2109]

Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@flanamom]

Another fascinating vlog, the 70s were quite a time for many of us, this particular building is a monument to the best music ever made. Thanks Jordan!

[@JimFothergill]

Love it! Thx!!!!!

[@rosemaryspafalmouth2609]

Very interesting again Jordan!,

[@BYANYMEANSNECESSARY-s3d]

I worked here 72-74. Fun times!

[@glennfromthebronx]

excellent overview of the Fleetwood Mac Tusk' recording days. I've seen a combo of Lindsey/Stevie/Christine/Mick and Fleetwood Mac @40 times since June 1986....worked for Stevie's brother Chris at a few shows selling merchandise in the late 80s/early 90s. What I'm most intersted in knowing about the Tusk year were some of lindsey's recording techniques....heard he recorded parts of his songs in the bathroom at the studio.

[@larciabella]

Love you excursions!thanx.

[@pdxer8895]

Joes Garage, Smashing Pumpkins, Clapton, great research Thumbs up.....

[@ElvisPresleyWorldwide]

Wow. I've driven by that building ten thousand times and never knew. Thanks, J.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+ELVIS PRESLEY WORLDWIDE you're welcome

[@anonymousgirl799]

ELVIS PRESLEY WORLDWIDE I used to park at one of those parking meters, to visit the Post Office right next door to this buliding on Santa Monica Blvd. Has no idea this was a recording studio. Who knew????

[@DiffuserDudeAromatherapy]

I saw fleetwood mac live in cleveland for their “the dance” tour...maybe 1997 ish? I love Fleetwood Mac. Great vlog!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you

[@darlenesmith7000]

Thank you Mr. Lion!!!!!

[@eddiemurray4538]

Awesome. Love music history & Fleetwood Mac!

[@mikewalker5101]

Great vlog Jordan, I searched to see if you got invited in, havent found anything, hope it works out for a tour

[@mrschrissworld]

awesome n love it jordan

[@risingpheonix8447]

Awesome Video !

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+RisingPheonix thanks

[@steveperry921]

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Jordan got into that studio. If so, I'm really looking forward to that one. Great vlog (as always).

[@DreamhopMusic]

good job, thank you

[@DTours]

Dude.. I love listening to Coast to Coast with George Norey.. I use to work the overnight shift for 13 years and thats what got me through the night.. Even scared myself a bit listening to it.. I still listen to it every night now when I go to bed (no longer on the midnight shift)..

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Derek Millen I was hoping we'd see George in there.. He used to go in and eat before the show

[@juliearmymom7807]

Derek Millen I listened to that on the way home from work, and Art Bell. Loved Art! Phil Hendrie records in LA, would love to see the outside of his studio.

[@DTours]

Julie Kent Yes!! Art is the best.. I started listening to Coast when Art Bell was the host.. Then George.. Art is still on the air on Sirius XM, at least he was a year or two ago.. Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis is great too.. Phil was ok.. But yeah, wish we had gotten to go inside the restaurant and saw if George was in there!!

[@darlenesmith7000]

WOW!!!! Steely Dan!!!! Weezer!!!!!! Mac !!!!!!!!! SUPER COOL!!!!!!!!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Darlene Smith and Eric Clapton and bb king.. so much history

[@joemomoney13]

That would be awesome if you could give us a tour of the inside. Fleetwood Mac has always been one of my favorite bands also.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+chrissy I'm hoping.

[@j.d.s.3613]

Great vlog, love Fleetwood Mac

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+J. Stripling thanks buddy

[@josephlaceysunpopularopini6603]

You are a great researcher! I try to watch you first thing in the morning here in Florida put me in a great mood.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Joseph Lacey that's great hear

[@beckyleisure]

Awesome vlog! You look nice in that shirt!

[@juliearmymom7807]

As a former broadcaster, my hat is off to you. Not only do you do great research, you make it come alive and interesting. Discovery needs to hire you and send you and Jah across the country uncovering amazing bits. Seriously. Side note- *WANT TO SEE INSIDE THE STUDIO* the glass, the rooms, cmon guys it's American history don't keep it to yourself! Do they sell shirts?

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Julie Kent he hasn't gotten back to me yet, but I'm going to send him a message in a few days

[@dollywilson3395]

Jordan, of COURSE he was impressed by how much you knew!!! Haven’t we been telling you how you are such a wealth of information and you have such great positive energy to go with it, too. On top of all that you have that winning SMILE that works for you!! Thanks for the vlog.

[@LetYrLiteShine]

Always amazed at all the info you know. Great job once again!

[@gagemoss1075]

Coast to Coast keeps me sane. Nice shout out!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Gage Moss I try to mention everything I like or enjoy at some point. People always need new things they may have never heard of

[@breel327]

what video's do you think you'll send him? great vlog Jordan! im not a fan of Fleetwood Mac (as in i don't know a lot about them) but i thoroughly enjoyed watching this morning xx

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Bree L I sent him my tour of Randy Rhoads music school, captain beefheart "trout mask replica house", and "Thelma todd"

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Bree L you should watch Fleetwood Mac the Dance and see if you like it

[@janadeubner9883]

Wow! I have always loved Fleetwood Mac but had never heard of the origins of their songs. I learn so much from you! Thanks Jordan!

[@garbage854]

Good video :) My family had Rumors on 8-track, and I have it on cassette :) When FleetWood Mac tours in 2018, I hope to see them :)

[@bonniebrown6960]

That's right you do know your stuff and I ALWAYS...enjoy your vlog's Jordan ! Love this !!

[@pjneslo8979]

Jordan did you ever hear back from the gentleman that owns the Masonic Bldg.? Man, I know everyone would love to see it .... Thanks for sharing this !

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Nope, he never responded

[@pjneslo8979]

Shucks, that would have been awesome to see. Also Frank Zappas Utility Muffin Research Kitchen. Great videos!

[@ceciliem1811]

Jordan, your whole vlog was fate! Everything you said was true! Yep, the affairs in the band and coke; made them very creative and did break them up! We could talk about them all night about them and still not touch the surface! Sung by Stevi, "When you see my reflection as you close your eyes, I'll be by your side!" Umm Ummm! Jordan, thank you! ⭐👍🎸👍⭐

[@Yey1nasJourneys]

I haven't been a big Fleetwood Mac fan but I've always loved Tusk- this reinforces it 👍🏻😊🌷great work Jordan- hope this gentleman comes through- it would be great to see that recording studio 😊

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Yey1na's Journeys I love this album too

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

morning jordan

[@glendafromaustralia1625]

Wow good luck Jordan getting into building and filming Stevie Nick's wall in the future. Enjoyed your vid and your research. Special pat for little Jah. Love from Australia 🎆🌠🎇

[@Turtle22124]

Goood morning Jordan and Jah!!!! wow another great vlog. Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite bands. I love the stories you told. Thank you for doing all the research for these vlogs. Hope you and Jah have a great day, stay cool! 🦁❤forever.....

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Robin thank you very much!

[@leeverrill]

That was really a cool video hope to see the inside...

[@SandraDePaul]

Great vlog....so glad you are around...these are places I will never be able to see....and these people's legacy is so important to my age group...I am hoping that fate works in your favor for the inside tour of the recording studio...I do believe you will hear from this gentleman. Love, Love, Love you and your work...thank you for the beautiful memories.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Sandy DePaul I'm glad you enjoy them

[@rev.jennyosorio7003]

good morning Jordan and Jah!! I have enjoyed Fleetwood Mac music back then and still do now. But never knew anything about them. Your vlogs are so informative. love them!!! Have a peaceful harmonious day!!!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+jenny muniz thank you

[@livingmaga6299]

Great Vlog man 👍

[@donbvs]

Another cool vlog! I was gonna suggest you do a piece on this property but I couldn't remember the address or the name of the recording studio. I spent many evenings in the lecture hall (2nd floor, SM Blvd end of bldg) where Charlie Lutes conducted advanced meetings for TM meditators. Charlie was Maharishi's right hand for many years in the early days. I don't recall when Charlie stopped using the building... probably late '80s. Would occasionally see bands including Fleetwood Mac entering the studio portion of the bldg when I was there for TM stuff. Thanks, Jordan!! Great memories.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+donbvs im actually syrprised i havent hadnt anybody tell me im wrong, and that the beatles never meditated there.. or that it was never a meditation center. Thanks for confirming

[@donbvs]

+Daze with Jordan the Lion That building was used for TM activities for close to three decades. Last time I was there was 1988 and it closed shortly after that. But I don't know that any of the Beatles ever visited. George visited the TM / Ayurved Ctr when it was in Pac Pal but otherwise, I'm not aware of any of them coming around. Hope the owner invites you in for a walk-thru! That would be very cool. So much great musical history made there. I'd love to see footage of the old lecture hall... if it still exists.

[@Jakki61]

As always, another interesting vlog.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+JAKKI CLIFFORD thank you

[@zaplaw1]

Another great vlog Jordan!! I too believe in fate. Would love to see the inside of this studio!

[@edisongirard]

I was working at a record store when Tusk dropped. I remember hearing the stories about the excessive behavior and turmoil. and that was before the internet! And evidently most of 'Joe's Garage' was recorded at the Village as Zappa was still finishing construction on his infamous Utility Muffin Research Kitchen home studio. Great album(s). If walls could talk, ..! Another great vlog, Jordan!

[@mslaerik66]

I love your profile pic ! I won the Tusk album and a t shirt only thing I ever won from the radio

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Edison Girard thanks

[@marlamichellebowker]

Huell Howser did the news in Nashville Tennessee when I was young. You are kinda like him finding places in California:) Great job!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Michelle Bowker thank you

[@chrispearson5073]

Nice one Jordan, you are now my number one KZbin channel (sorry mr the woo) It's great to see and hear the history of that mad place as I'd never get to see it as I'm in the uk. Keep up the great work👍

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Chris Pearson wow, thank You! I'm glad you enjoy it

[@chrispearson5073]

Daze with Jordan the Lion have you thought of producing a book on history that you are compiling? I'd buy it for sure!

[@carolinebaranczyk6832]

Well--of course I had to listen to Stevie Nicks on KZbin after watching your video.....It's amazing how music plays such an important part of our lives....the sweet ..sad...joyous..and just whatever...great vlog. Thanks ❤️🎼🎶🎹

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Caroline Baranczyk she's incredible

[@janicelee6204]

Lol, I love Coast to Coast!

[@wikiperkya1103]

Pretty cool and interesting... I'm a big Fleetwood Mac fan myself. Actually I love a lot of the old rock from the 60s and 70s.

[@adventureswithchristian6967]

I hope they let you in later. Coast to Coast is great, and in Pahrump close to Vegas. Love the videos!

[@thor8580]

Jordan, great knowledge! I lived those years in my early 20s and I don’t recall half of it. Good job. Thanks

[@stflaw]

Did you ever get inside the studio?

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

No, I never got any responses to the emails

[@silkysays3557]

What happens when Jordan & Adam go vlogging?......Daze a Woo!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+silky says youll see tomorrow

[@silkysays3557]

thanks for forgiving such a bad pun huggs,silky

[@Glostaboy70]

So did you ever get invited back ?

[@cindyjohnson2300]

😎🐅✌

[@michellePPP]

Really cool 😎 Fleetwood Mac, Smashing pumpkins, and Weezer were my soundtrack freshman year of high school🤓 I actually met Weezer when they released Pinkerton at the old tower records in Hollywood when Matt was still a member. They put on a free show, it was Amazing!!! I even ditched school 😂 I got in trouble but it was so worth it. I'm also a huge Huell fan, RIP😔I grew up watching California's Gold when I was a kid and I still watch reruns to this day. It inspired me to explore as an adult and appreciate the history and beauty in all things.I don't vlog beacause I am way too shy. Which brings me now to your channel. I enjoy the content so much I can't say it enough!!! Thanks for doing what you do👍🏽

[@michellePPP]

Also Huell's cameraman Louie is going to have a book signing at Pinks hotdogs this Thursday the 20th12:00-2:00 just in case there's any Huell fans out there!

[@Charles-vk1lb]

If you dig the intrigue of Fleetwood Mac's story, look into The Mamas & the Papas...quite a bit of hinky shenanigans going on there.

[@amorosa101457]

Did you ever get inside?

[@francinescott5686]

Jordan! What an absolutely wonderful vlog! When I was a little girl, I wanted to be Stevie and twirl around in her spooky dresses! I love, love her still. I think I watched the interview you researched from. I did not know all that about the studio--If Walls Could talk. Did you hear her story about how she married her friend's husband and only got divorce later? I can't wait to see the inside of that vlog. Keep on doing these vlogs, they are so..interesting.

[@dawngannon8621]

cocaine is a hellva drug.

[@sbarncar]

there was way too much BLOW

[@sallylouise9826]

Wow ! I love Fleetwood Mac ! Your so talented and lucky that the man was so interested in your work . I really hope that he gets to show you around the studio that would be awesome ! Great job ! 🙂👍🏻
