I was a little boy in the 1970s and a teenager in the 1980s. L.A. native and proud of it.

The city looked so much more cleaner back then. I love it thanx. My mom moved us here in Aug of 77. Me and my sister were 8 and 9 back then. Tears are falling , I don't know why.
-
Watch it and weep because this is a L.A. that will never ever be seen again. Sad😢
-
One of my most favorite old LA videos. The music is so fitting. I must have watched it over 100 times already. Thanks for putting it up.
-
I'm so happy to have grown up in this time. I sure miss it.

As a teenager in the 70's I just love watching these clips. Takes me back. One thing I always notice in all of them, no matter from what part of teh world, is the cool cars we had back then! Mustangs, Camaros, Dusters, Chevelles, Barracudas, etc.. To find one now in good shape will cost one an arm and a leg..yet they were everywhere back then.

Good music. Just listening to it give you hope.

Man, oh man I love this . I'm from the legendary 1970s. I was only a baby,but I remember the breathtaking atmosphere of this wonderful decade. Riding in my father's Cadillac hearing 8-track tapes and having fun. I miss those days like crazy. Man,I wanna go back.

Born and raised in Boyle Heights and Bell Gardens. I love LA.
-
I love that all the phone numbers don't have area codes. Cause it was all 213...
-
Just watch the Rockford Files, to get a good look at LA in the 70's.

I remember driving to our gigs in 1975 (4 nights a week) in a black '71 Barracuda ragtop listening to the radio with "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship and "Love Will Keep Us Together" by The Captain & Tennille in constant rotation.

Seeing this through the eyes of my beloved mama... This is the los angeles she saw while pregnant with me... Thank you kindly for this vid... I love los angeles. ...born and raised and still floating around the city...
-
I want to crawl through the screen and be there great vid.
-
as someone who grew up in the 60's - 70's I watch this kind of video and just long to be back in that time... in many ways life was more innocent and full of wonder then. maybe because I was a kid with a fresh mind. we all get cynical as we get older.

Wow, Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds as the background? Great choice to go with the incredible visuals. LA still feels the same. At least for these particular areas. Really nice biking down the beaches from Santa Monica, through the Venice Beach Canals, further south and time it so you're arriving back at Santa Monica for sunset. Priceless. So much to do. Just don't walk around downtown by the Broad museum on a Sunday. LA is like a ghost-town then lol

It's really relaxing watching old footage like this.

i was a teen in the valley in the early 70's. awesome vid makes me sigh.

I love the days of old Los Angeles. How nostalgic when we look back at what seemingly was everyday life. How I would like to go back to the simpler times of that day.
