Very Cool!

Wow! Thank you!

Just catching up. Boy was this one a treat. It's so exciting to see where the sausage is made. Thanks Lee. :o)

What a beautiful workplace, thanks for showing :-)

Just love the tour , Lee !! Thanks 🙌🏽

Love this fly on the wall stuff. It would be great to see more of these . Thanks 🙏Lee.

Leland, great video (and mask) of such an iconic studio. Thanks for sharing.

🧡

That was an awesome walk round , thank you. Great drum room. Greg sounds a top character, bet you have some stories to tell. This channel just gets better and better.

Thanks a bunch Leland. You amaze us with new stories and adventures. I hope to see more studio tours in the near future.

What a privilege - a tour around the old A&M studios (so much history), catch Gregg Bissonette getting ready for the session. Oh yes, and our guide for the tour was Mr Leland Sklar! Unbelievable! Thank you.

Very cool. Always great to see the behind scenes action!!! Thanks Lee.....

Thanks for this! Great memories...I worked there in the 70s, as a tech under Tom May. To this day, I think I could still set the bias on a Scully tape machine without the book...

Always fun Leland , and thank you. Hopefully we can get more tours.

Wonderful video! Thank You!

Really enjoyed the tour. Thanks Leland🎸

Thanks Lee, amazing tour round. Love it. A place fit for your inspection and for you to work. The drum sound is amazing even over the phone! Hi to all the chaps in the studio.

Really enjoyed this one Lee ! Cheers :)

Last time I was there it was 1989. Wow thats a long time. Lovely memories.

I was fortunate enough to spend a day there around 2005. First thing I saw on the way in was a dinosaur hiding in the bushes and immediately loved the place. I took a picture of the hallway outside studio d lined with about a dozen tape machines and it hung in my bedroom for years. Such a great place. Thanks for sharing and bringing back some good memories.

I bet that wasn't a "drug free zone" back in the day!😆

Lee, thank you so very much for the tour of Henson Studios. This was a real treat! #bass

Thanks so much for sharing this, Leland!   Takes me back.   I parked in  that back parking lot, more than a few times, back in the 80's. I was an engineer at a private studio for Michael Hanna back then, near Willoughby and Labrea. And, my buddy, who has since passed on, was an engineer at A&M (Scott Symington). So glad to see this history still endures the test of time. And, the recordings that came out of this beautiful studio!     Fantastic. Glad to see you're still crankin' out the tunes, too!

Leland, Thank You so much for the tour. A&M was my home for over 10 years. Sadly I haven't been through those doors in over 20 years. Oh how I miss it. Looks like the old girl is in great shape. I worked several times with Bill and also Greg a few times. Unfortunately never had the pleasure of working with you. Thanks again for the tour and all the wonderful bass tracks over the years. Cheers Mike

Lee, I can’t thank you enough for this.

Priceless! - Brings back SO many memories; I spent several years in the late 80s running around this studio. Now I can show my kids!! - The footage is absolutely perfect, thanks!

What a treat to have a look-see inside one of these places! Thanks so much for this and as a nurse, I find it touching that you regularly acknowledge the sacrifice and commitment that is made in our industry this last year. We appreciate seeing folk's wearing their masks 👍So excited that the entire Immediate Family is getting vaccinated! See you guys soon!

Geez, that corridor full of tape machine and Leslie, are you kid' me !!! :o

I walked passed this place back in 1985 when I lived in Hollywood. All I saw was the gate but I remember wondering what was behind the gate. Now I know. Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for the tour of Henson studios. What history there is there. Looks like a great work environment.

You know what? It was really nice to get out of your room and go for a cruise. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate our time in that room but it's good to get out and about for a while. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🌴 📸

Eeeee that wer a proper treat that wer..

Wow, nice, thanks for sharing, Lee! Y’all stay safe!💕

What a place and what a history behind it!!! Charlie Chaplin, Joni Mitchell, Rod Steward and many more (I don´t know about ;-) And those analogue goodies in the hallway... holy moly. Thank you so much for taking us on this tour Leland!

Awesome, Leland! Thanks for the great tour! Incredible history within these halls and grateful to you and the other amazing musicians who are keeping the dream alive. Cheers!

That rom sounded so nice for drums!

Soooo cool. Love the mask!! Thank you!!

What a cool treat, just to wander thru such an infamous place with you... a dream come true, really👍🏻💜

I can not thank YOU!!!! enough how cool is this??? great tour!

Has to be one of the most iconic studios in the world.

Oh man I remember that studio from the 90's where I worked on so many music videos for Propaganda films!

Just.......... Thank you!!!

That was an awesome treat! Thank you!!!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing

Thanks for the tour very cool Peace

Lee this is my new favorite video. Please do more studio tours when you can. I’m in awe! Thank you!

All those tape machines lined up! I can't stop drooling! Eight A80, three A820 and 8 Ampex. I don't feel too bad in having only five tape machines at home.

Back in the 60's and 70's, I would make it a point, if I was cruising Hollywood, to drive by that A & M sign on La Brea. When I saw that sign slowly turning I thought to myself, how cool would it be to work there. Thank you Leland for the tour of that historic site.

Fascinating Lee, all those tape machines lining the corridor. Imagining all the stuff that's been recorded on them and the stories they could tell from over the years! Mind-blowing!

Thank you Leland ! Ciao from Milano Italy ! Take care

Fascinating look behind the scenes - Thank you Lee. Can anyone enlighten me as to why so many pro studios ( and I've been in a few but never thought to ask), have strings of fairy lights/Christmas lights festooned around the place? There has to be some kind of reason behind this fact. Anyone?

muffled microphone

Caught the A&M logo on the glass studio door! Love it! Thank you so much for doing these personal, behind the scenes, looks. Your respect for the history of these amazing places, and people, is obvious to anyone who is paying attention. Stay safe, and make a nice racket with Mr. Bissonette.

Henson's Wilkins Coffee ads have been trending on Twitter lately - they're hysterical

Amazing...a true treasure.... boy I would like to visit this and see, feel and undoubtedly smell the legacy as well as the new...buy a stand for your phone and just keep on rolling... lol I'll be watching

These are absolutely why I subscribe to the channel lol. Thanks for sharing this with us Brother Lee!!!!!

If the walls could talk, the stories & memories. Thanks for showing us all Lee :)

Fascinating tour. Can’t believe all those analog tape machines just sitting in the hallway! I’ll take one! Thanks Lee.

How fun was this? Looking forward to more chances to get out and go exploring with you as we get control of this pandemic and it gets safer to be out and about. Thanks for the glimpse of this historic site. Have a great session. Stay safe and stay well!

Hello Leland.Today I was able to make a small and wonderful trip,Thank you,Lee.Than you again for giving a session with a Japanese artist. A Japan fan in Tokyo.

Thanks for the tour !😳

Thank you for the tour! Very cool!

Beautiful day, beautiful studio, thanks for the tour, Lee 😎 🇬🇧

Wow, that was great. Loved all those tape machines lined up in the hall, and the fish lounge, and all that rock and roll heritage. And we got to meet Gregg Bissonette! Saw him with Ringo's All-Starr Band (with Steve Lukather and Gregg Rolie) at the Greek before the world turned upside down. I so miss live music, from McCabe's to the Hollywood Bowl and everything in between. Soon... Love the ping pong table too. There's one in the middle of the office at my campaign consultants. They win more campaigns than ping pong tournaments, but it's great way to blow off some steam. Nobody gets hurt playing ping pong.

That was cool - thanks Lee 👍🏻

You should be doing this tour.. https://youtu.be/5CPqRQI7Vjo

I did demos there for an album we made in 1990 Lee. In the little studio across the hall by the table with the Chaplain book. Met my best friend and bass player there. Haven't seen it since. There used to be a giant wooden eagle hanging in the room you guys are in. I didn't see it in the vid. What a treat..Thank you VERY MUCH Lee.

Thank you Leland. I loved your videos on Jeff P!!! I have recently been checking out Jay Graydon as he is very interesting guy. I found out about him being a big Steve L (Luke) fan. I was wondering if you could do a video of your time spent with Jay as I have seen you have did some work on his live stuff in Japan maybe other places. Thank you again!!! Oh and by watching everything I could find on Jeff P I asked myself how could just everyone love this guy, then I watched some of the home video of his drumming at his Dad's school and understand why!! What a amazing talent and God send.

That was real fun when I needed it most. Thank you my friend. You'll never know your impact on others✌

Absolutely fascinating!

Enjoyed seeing the studio🎶✌❤😷☃️

Carpenters were here.

coincidence. i just came from visiting the charlie chaplin museum near vevey (switzerland) when i saw you playing for the first time together with judith, russ, gabriella and pedro in the mahogany hall, bern. so whenever you are near the lake of geneva, go and visit that magical place. the museum is also the former residence of chaplin and the place (and garden!) has its own kind of magic. why do i write this? because i think, you and chaplin have so much in common. the permanent humour, some cute kind of clumsiness, the geniality and most of all an unequaled modesty! or with other words: the appeal of a real star.

So wonderful ! I Love studios more than anything ! Thank You as always !!!!

A very familar drummer moment when you're talking or something :-D 9:54

You can feel the weight of history! I love the studios. Thanks for the tour, Lee!

Thanks Lee. Awesome

That was very cool, thx for that!

Fantastic! So much history there. Thanks so much for that tour. I've driven past that studio so many times, but of course never inside. Very cool.

Thank you so much for this tour! What a piece of history most of us would not get to see. It was very cool to see all the tape machines - Greg's chart was quite an eye opener - no 8 1/2 by 11 chart there! I'd love to see what you get on some of these. Thank you so much!! Very cool!!!

How cool is this? Thank you Lee for taking us on a tour of a very iconic and historical place. 👍👀👍

Thanks Lee, for this history tour.

When I was a music obsessed kid back in the 70's (I didn't want toys or games for my birthday, I wanted vinyl), I would always get excited when I got to see the giant billboard outside of A&M Records on the corner of Sunset & La Brea touting their latest release.

It was great! Remember it well!

From the title I wondered if this would be Leland hanging out with Miss Piggy, but this was super interesting. Walking around felt like a video game, but armed with music and humor instead of some weapon to kill vampires. Excellent, thanks!

I've always dreamt of being able to see the inards of this historical place and you have made part of it possible. Thank you deeply.

Love this. Thank you for sharing Lee.

most interesting

Lee you've done some great features for the channel, but this one is OFF THE CHARTS! It's great to see the magic space behind the curtain. Thanks!

Thanks for the awesome tour, Leland! 👏👏👏

Wow!

O wow thanks Lee!

Awezon222!!

Cool! The history and the beauty here! Really fun!!! Love going on these trips you take us on! Now I have to watch "The Kid" (free with ads on IMDB TV, I just discovered!) Great studio .. great vibe! Wonderful history! Thank you again, Lee!

Thanks for the tour. Very cool

Thank you Leland. Awesome!

Great tour! I’m seriously jealous of your weather! I’m 🇨🇦 and we just got snow again last night.

I love this! Thank you for taking us with you!

Gregg Bissonette is my fav drummer. Ty for including him

I got to say high to Greg at NAMM last year just as he was leaving a signing at the DW Drum booth. I missed getting his autograph by two people, but got to say high and that I'd see him with Victor Wooten & Steve Baily that Sunday night at the Catalina Club. I never got to go. Car problems - the front underlayment ripped out driving home; I didn't dare try to make it to the show and it was too late to arrange a rental. One of the great disappointments of the NAMM show days.

If ya gotta work someplace, might as well do it in comfort and style! Thanks for the tour, Leland! Closest I ever got was delivering Talent Agency contracts or other items to the front or meeting someone in the interior parking lot - never got further than that. Always got a good feel from this studio. I'd worked on many film lots, but the music from this place was special and they preserved the history as well as creating it in those rooms!
