Hello I’m French, I’m going to see the stones in LA, guess it will be a meeting before the show to see some of you there , let me know. Then I will spend some time in the USA, I would like to travel in California, Arizona, New mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida…
I appreciate if some kind soul can give me some tricks, advices & addresses for some Music places, bars, must see and especially places for jam session, I’m a guitar player & I love to play the blues, R&B, rock’n’roll. I’ll be glad to meet some of you guys on this trip.
Thank you.

Get your kicks on route 66

.... welcome to southern california, los angeles and surrounding areas, the left side of the states......
if this is your first visit, your eyes will be open...............

I hear that next month The Rolling Stones are organizing a free concert at the Altamont Motor Speedway - that might be fun if you're still around.

Greetings from Sunny Southern California. First of all, I would get your sight seeing out of the way. Travel from the Sunset Strip down Sunset Boulevard to the Pacific Coast Highway, make a right and ride out to Malibu. Watch a sunset. Go back to Hollywood (I assume you will be staying in Hollywood. I wouldn't advise you to LIVE there, but it's a great place to stay for a short visit.) During the day, go shopping on Melrose Avenue at Fairfax. Grap a copy of LA Weekly and see what's going on. Otherwise, enjoy the weather, marvel at hills near the size of mountains in Hollywood. There's an old saying, "You can go to California, visit, then go back to from whence you came, but you'll never get it out of your system." Think I'm kidding?

Make sure to bring an oxygen bottle, so you can breath through the smog.

Check out the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip.

...for a little contrast, a field trip , check out fifth and main st. and surrounding area in downtown los angeles,, usually referred to skid row

then scoot up off the 405 to the Getty muesuem about three oclock,, the way the weather has been, ya can see japan and south america, besides the incrediable art only Getty can posses.. and when dusk begins to arrive and the lights come alive, youll realize your not in france anymore............

The California Coast is God's country, breathtaking.

While in Arizona, try to see the Grand Canyon - the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

If you go to Austin when you're in Texas, go there on a night when Ian McLagan does his weekly gig at the Lucky Lounge. Check his macspages.com website ahead of time.

Seeing a legend playing in a tiny club/bar....best thing ever.

A pre-show party will be held at

Barragan's Mexican Restaurant
1538 Sunset Blvd


4pm. It's just a mile away from the Dodger Stadium.

The Mrs. and I will also be there.

if you have time......Amoeba Records at Sunset & Cahuenga......give yourself plenty of time to look around..........and be prepared to spend your life savings

You'll have fun in Kolly-forn-knee-ya - for sure.
are gonna bring your guitar?

If in Florida, visit Georgia.

woah! thank you so much you all, you're so cool , child of the moon i'll definitely come to see you at barragan. i plan to stay 2 months with my girlfriend, just travel around, hope to find some good guitars overthere & bring them back home, i take note of all your messages, thanks again

And I thought this was going to be about a Led Zepplin song.

I'm serious. If you're that close, come on by. We'll have a drink and listen to the Stones.
