Where the Action Was is Esotouric's Hollywood and West Hollywood rock
and roll history tour, co-hosted by pop music historians Kim Cooper
and Gene Sculatti, and departing from Amoeba Music. Every passenger
goes home with an Amoeba swag bag.

In the mid-1960s, the Sunset Strip and Hollywood were ground zero for
musical teen youth culture, with scores of great clubs, music shops,
recording studios, boutiques, hipster hangouts, radio stations, record
stores, and film and TV studios. On the Esotouric bus, you'll travel
back in time to map the musical history of Hollywood and West
Hollywood, from Beatlemania and folk rock, glitter rock through punk.
Along the way you'll follow the career highs and lows of a selection
of fascinating LA artists: Bobby Fuller (was it murder or suicide?),
Phil Spector, Arthur Lee & Love and the Byrds.

>From the teen riots over the closing of Pandora's Box (inspiration for
the Buffalo Springfield hit "For What It's Worth") to the late night
Canter's Deli scene, from adolescent groupies holding court at
Rodney's English Disco to the wild dances invented at Ciro's, and so
much between, Where The Action Was is a high-energy voyage to a time
when music was thrilling, immediate and deeply rooted to the city of
LA.
