Live from Laurel Canyon - songs and stories of American Folk Rock

My husband and I saw this concert at the Musical Instrument Museum.... it was so fantastic!!
It is a journey through a special time in American Pop music. Laurel Canyon is a neighborhood located in the Hollywood Hills region of Los Angeles. In the 1960s and 1970s, it became famous as the home to many of L.A.'s rock musicians such as Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison, The Byrds and Joni Mitchell who was living in a home with her then-lover Graham Nash. Steven Stills, Neil Young, David Crosby, the Mamas and Papas, Carole King, James Taylor, The Eagles and Jackson Browne were also part of the scene.
In the concert, the arrangement and the vocal harmonies were amazing. And the history of the artists and songs was fascinating. If you ever get a chance to see this show, you must go!
