Bob Welch and the Sunset Strip

[Macfan4life]

I saw a Sunset Strip tribute and Bob was the first one to come up. What a time to be alive for anyone that got to experience the Sunset Strip in the 1980s. Heavy Metal was just about to explode and almost every band got their start on the Sunset Strip. Poison who secretly recorded in Stevie's studio that she never showed up in was around the Sunset Strip. Bob practiced tour rehearsals there and even hosted a TV Show in 1980-1981 called Hollywood Heartbeat. I think that show was before its time because the music business was just about to orbit around the Sunset Strip a few years later. As Bob's solo career began to sag this is where he hung out and performed. Can you imagine the stories he could tell about this era of his life? Is this when he started to use heroin? His famous concert from The Roxy is right on the Sunset Strip. Chris's 1984 Country Club album promo concert is about 13 miles from the Sunset Strip. I would love to know if anyone has any stories about Bob and this era of his life or experiencing the Sunset Strip in the 1980s. Stevie even recorded her Timespace concert at the Whiskey in 1991.

Bob interviewing Mick on Hollywood Heartbeat. The band got to pick their location on the Hollywood walk of fame. Mick is so high here. Mick was just about to hit the wall financially. He had a quick blip from Mirage that kept him afloat for another year before bankruptcy. Bob looks so thin here.
