LEGENDS OF THE
CANYON delivers the story of the advent of rock music spawned in the
garden of the Hollywood Hills, Laurel Canyon. Many of rock music's
legendary artists of the late 1960's brought to life the anthems of a
generation in these hills, in a commune-like setting. CROSBY STILLS and
NASH, The Mamas and the Papas, Joni Mitchell, America,, Buffalo
Springfield, The Byrds and many others. Adding depth, color and
certainly authenticity to the film, famed rock photographer Henry Diltz,
(CSNY official photographer) contributes as narrator and with a variety
of original photographs, some never before exhibited, and rare footage
shot amongst the musicians' tribe of Laurel Canyon. Visually stunning,
intensely captivating and musically inspiring, this CLASSIC ARTISTS'
film brings us to a time and place where some refused to let go of a
dream of a life where harmony ruled the Earth, their music still echoes
through the hills of Laurel Canyon to this day.
Legends of the Canyon: The Music and Magic of 1960s Laurel Canyon uses
musician/photographer Henry Diltz's candid photos as backdrop to tell
the story of the genesis of the Laurel Canyon/West Coast rock scene.
The filmmakers' premise is that the aftermath of JFK's assassination
drove the youth culture to embrace The Beatles and that The Beatles
energized the West Coast folk scene to go electric. Henry Diltz narrates
the story which starts with the formation of The Byrds and Buffalo
Springfield and ends with the Manson Family killings. Intermixed in
narrative are photos and live footage of the Laurel Canyon bands and
interview clips with the majority of musicians who sprung out of that
scene. The film predominately focuses on Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young -
the bands that they were in prior to CSN(&Y) and the recording of
the first two albums - and The Mamas & The Papas.
Interviews include extensive footage with David Crosby, Stephen Stills,
Graham Nash and original CSN(Y) drummer Dallas Taylor and it is
fascinating to hear some of the different viewpoints and versions of
what was beneath some of the legendary tensions within the group. The
other key interviewee is Michelle Philips who tells the story behind The
Mamas & the Papas, her relationship with Gene Clark and more. Both
Philips and all of the interviewees discussed their love and admiration
for Mama Cass Elliot who was influential in both the Laurel Canyon music
scene and in getting Crosby, Stills and Nash together. The other
non-appearing musician who got a lot of positive accolades was Joni
Mitchell; Crosby, Stills and Nash all seemed to be in awe of her.
Other interviewees include record industry executives David Geffen,
Ahmet Ertegun and Lenny Waronker and musician Van Dyke Parks (who, in
the bonus footage, claims that he named Buffalo Springfield).
The bonus footage is a treat for CSN fans or fans of this era as it
includes uncut interviews with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham
Nash (footage from which was included in the main feature) along with
Diltz's silent 8MM films of both The Byrds and CSN in concert and fan
filmed footage of Stephen Stills on one of his early solo tours. Of
lesser importance, there are interviews with Ron Stone (long-time CSN
manager) and Van Dyke Parks and Gerry Beckley (from the band America).
Lastly, the bonus footage includes the somewhat silly "Henry's Acid
Trip" - the vignette's title gives all the explanation needed.
