Videos shot live on location near Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - Hudba
I did make a trip to CBGB back in ‘92 but didn’t realize the cover of Rocket To Russia was shot out back. The whole place is iconic and historic to punk rock music and I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity. Three of my closest buds and I saw Die Monster Die, Truth and Grimskunk (from Montreal).
Oh man, I remember Grimskunk. They came through here several times as well, I am thinking maybe early to mid 90s???
I felt the same way about Sin After Sin, I too thought it was a fictional drawing, thank you for setting the record straight.
No prob. I found that back story to be very interesting.
Love these videos on album covers. Was in London about a week or so after Bowies death and decided to find the location of the Ziggy Stardust album cover. Needless to say it was a shrine of remembrance to Bowie and quite moving. Cheers Frank !!!
Oh man... I can just imagine the Ziggy Stardust location at that time. Must have been nuts!
Haddon St has changed tremendously since my visits to it as a Bowie obsessed teenager. The red phone box on the back cover is still there and people often have there photos taken in it while striking a Ziggy pose. As for the K West sign it resides in the lounge of a close friend. Although there are a few cracks, he has had it restored so it illuminates once more.
Fantastic Frank. Since I was A young lad I loved the cover of Sin After Sin. Like yourself I just thought it was art. Now that I see the actual structure I want to visit the site. Perhaps its better folks don`t know. That Jim Morrison grave is a travisty
I was quite surprised it actually existed. It would be neat to see.
Thanks so much for doing these Frank. I know it must be a lot of work, but I do enjoy them. I've been to CBGB back in the eighties as a teenager. Pretty gross place but loved going there. I've also been to the physical graffiti building many times as a teenager as well. I grew up in NYC and spent much of my youth in Manhatten. Thanks again.
Thanks, Joe - glad you like 'em. They do take a bit more time to research and put together, but I always learn something, so it's fun and worthwhile for me. Man - it would have been cool to visit CBGBs in the 80s!
I can’t tell you how many times I was at CBGB’s over the years for shows or hanging outside and never knew the Ramones album cover was shot there.
Also in a similar note. The famous video to Dylan’s subterranean homesick blues. Was filmed in London around the back of the strand hotel
Heddon Street was the site for the Bowie 75 pop up shop which we visited a few months ago, the phone box is still there a must see for any serious Bowie fan.
I've walked along Hedden Street myself and stood in the Red telephone box which is shown on the back cover of the Ziggy Stardust album
As I live in London I used to go the Ziggy spot regularly, its now a yard with coffee shop as you showed it , such a shame , should have been listed !
It would be a cool spot to visit.
Brilliant video Frank these kinds of videos are fascinating to me to see the real spots well done!!
Last month i was in London and i went to the Ziggy Stardust location, this video is good timing.
Was able to visit the Bowie site on Haddon Street. It was surreal and like the video explains, very different today than when the picture was taken.
Ive seen freewheelin before , ya still cool , but that bowie location....super cool.
And the ramones, didnt dissapoint. Good work!
Thanks 👍
loved watching it 'again'....excellent job...look forward to more...be well...peace...rocky
Thanks again for your help, Rocky. Have a good week.
Frank
Ziggy Stardust is one of my all time favorite albums. thanks for that one for sure.
Love it when you do this!! I share it all over!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Sending it my brother in law now. He’s a big priest fan
These location video's are my second favorite after the vinyl den vids...Good Job!
Glad you dig em! Thanks!
Not a video I expected but both entertaining and informative, all the same. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Frank! I love learning about these places. I was never a big Bowie Dan but I do own the Ziggy Stardust Lp.
Hey how about the Foghat album "Fool For The City"? ...... if you haven't already done it yet!
Keep on spinning Frank!! 👍
I will definitely consider that one, thanks!
Love it Frank! Keep em coming!
Great video Frank I enjoy when you do these.
Thanks 👍
Check out the cover of the Mondo Cozmo album "New Medicine." Different time, different place, different artist but very similar feel to "Freewheelin'."
Enjoy your take on this subject. Plus ive Always wondered where half these album covers come from . Find this very informative equally entertaining .
Keep up the Great work Frank
Glad you enjoyed it Jim, thanks!
I have been to the Ramones Rocket to Russia location in NYC. I had my picture taken there and me standing below the Joey Ramone Place street sign. Located on the corner of East 2nd St. and the Bowery . Near the old CBGB's and Joey's old apartment. I met two guy's from Germany and we talked about our love for the Ramones. They were trying to figure out a way to steal the street sign. I told them good luck as it has been welded in place after it had become the most stolen sign in NYC.
I've been to many NYC locations. Besides Ramones and Dylan I've been to Physical Graffiti, Strange Days, New York Dolls, and Dressed to Kill among others. In Mexico to Teotihuacan which is the cover of The Best of Bruce Dickinson.
It would be cool to visit those.
the location of the bob dylan cover in real life is a record store called record runner. one of the best record stores in New York, the owner keeps a copy of the album in the window and tells everyone that stops by the history of the neighborhood. great store and owner.
Very cool!
It is a great store!
John Vavartos NYC store, the former CBGB's kept the walls with all the decals and writing from the old place but cleaned them up. Now a great store with the old vibe and history of CBGB's.
That's very cool they did that.
@@Channel33RPM AND, I don't know if it's happened lately, but they did still have occasional shows at the store. I saw Peter Frampton there a few years ago. I went to college two blocks up the street in the mid-80s - about the time the photo you showed was taken. Unfortunately, never got to see a show there in its heyday. Also been to the Dylan spot many times. There's a great, little (and I mean LITTLE) record store right there (at 5 Jones - just to the right of the image you showed from Google street view).
If you do any more of these, the then and now of the cover of Billy Joel’s Streetlife Serenade is interesting. You could probably do an entire episode on his covers. Ammonia Avenue would be another interesting one.
Got nothing to add, but what a great video Frank, thanks. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video, Frank. Been a Bob Dylan fan since the mid-60s and in 2019, I found myself in NYC with time on my hands during the day (evening was opera and Yankees/Mets baseball). I spent much of one day just wandering around the area where the album cover was shot. As you pointed out, the apartment where he and Suze lived was nearby, but also the clubs where he played at were also nearby. Can’t remember their names, but one is still a club, but the other is a tattoo shop. After all these years of listening, watching, and reading about Dylan, it really felt like sacred ground.
That is very cool. It must have been neat to walk through the area. Thanks for for sharing!
Love these Frank!!! Keep em comin
Great video Frank! You’re a modern day Sherlock Holmes! 😉
Wow, I had no idea that the Ramones cover was shot on Extra Place. Now, that short alley is the antithesis of punk rock being the home to very upscale restaurants like Momofuku Ko. Next time I head there, I will look at it in a new light. Also, I've traipsed West 4th and Great Jones for years not realizing that the Dylan cover was shot there. The things you learn on CZcams.
That's kind of crazy about the Judas priest album cover cuz I thought it was completely fictional..lol how did you ever find out where that will actually was?? I really enjoy this series that you do 🎸✌️
Thanks Rod - I thought it was completely fictional as well. Honestly, I can't recall exactly where and how I discovered the back story, but I read about it at some point, and figured that would be a cool thing to show. Then, earlier this month I found an article from a British historical society that helped fill in some of the blanks. I wasn't sure if I would actually be able to find it in Google maps, but I was pretty happy when I did. Cheers man.
Awesome!!!
xoxo The Clarences
Thank you! 🤗
@@Channel33RPM Welcome!!! xoxo The Clarences
Great video, Frank. - Heather
Glad you enjoyed it
Love these videos. It's like a history lesson. The only one I've ever been to was Queens Park in Toronto on the Moving Pictures album.
AC/DC - Dirty Deeds (if that motel is even still around)
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Cheech & Chong's Wedding Album
Doors - Strange Days
Good suggestions. Thanks! You're got me curious, in particular, about the Dirty Deeds motel.
Always enjoy these episodes Frank. I did get to CBGB's once just before it closed (saw a great Jersey band named Status Green). Didn't make it to the back alley, or I would have had some explaining to do! Need to visit the Bowie spot one of these days (I'm in Mississauga Ontario so it will have to be during a holiday.)
CBGB was pretty sketchy out front, inside and backstage. Venturing out to the back alley was the last thing on my mind when I was there.
Great episode. Some ideas for future locations:
Cher - 3614 Jackson Highway
WIngs - Band On The Run (sorry if I missed you do that one already)
Abba - Arrival
Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection/Don't Shoot Me/A Single Man. Would be good to see some more that are in neither London or NY.
Great list. Thanks for the ideas.
"If you're diggin'..." I heard what you said there! lol ....Very 'grave' remark.
:)
Here's a good location for you to scout out if you haven't already;
The Doors second album Strange Days shot on Sniffen Court
located in the East 30's in NYC
Fun video, thanks. The only location I know offhand is for Rush - Moving Pictures. It was shot at Queen's Park, Toronto. I'll look through your other location videos to see if you included it.
Thanks Robert. I did include Moving Pictures in a previous video - which sparked a YY-Zee vs YY-Zed controversy :) ... Hope you're able to check it out!
@@Channel33RPM I assumed you might have. I'll go over the older videos today if I can.
Another week another great video, keep on spinning Frank.
Thanks 👍
Awesome awesome video brother
Thanks 👍
I think you were being polite bout crazy stories on that back alley NY in the 70s wow.
Haha, no doubt!
Love the video FRANK
Thanks Landon.
After talking about a cemetery you say “if you’re digging this video”. Nice pun there.
:)
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
Their was for a short time a pop up shop where the Bowie album cover was taken
Another good album cover is Black Sabbath’s debut record!
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very cool episode 👍
Thank you Frank. I appreciate the comment.
Cool!
Visited the Ziggy Stardust location a few years before Bowie's death when you could barely make it out. Not sure if the plaque was already there yet. It was a bit underwhelming because so much had changed in the surroundings.
In London obviously Abbey Road is a must-visit for any fan of rock. Still very recognisable from the album cover. Apple's former hq at Savile Row is also recommended after the Get Back series. Despite the fact that there is not much to see the ghosts of that final concert still linger there.
And it isn't really an album cover but I loved visiting Savoy Steps where Dylan filmed his "video" for Subterranean Homesick Blues. Still instantly recognisable.
I would love to visit the Ziggy Stardust location and Abbey Road at some point. So far, I have hesitated to include Abbey Road in this series, because it is hard to do it justice in 2 minutes, but I will tackle it one of these days. Thanks for watching.
Frank
More suggestions for album covers:
Arctic monkeys - favourite worst nightmare
Drake - Views
John Denver - Rocky Mountain High
Weezer - Weezer (white album)
Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger In the Alps
The Clash - Combat Rock
U2 - All That you Can’t Leave Behind
Awesome. Thanks for the suggestions. I would not have thought of some of these.
Does it count that I've done the Edgewalk on the CN Tower in October 2015, so probably quite close to when the photo was taken. I was there seeing Shania at the Air Canada centre. Other than opening parts of the building to the public like that, I don't suppose the tower itself has changed much since it was built!
Cool Video ! Keep ‘em comin
More to come!
Bowie stated in the years following Ziggy Stardust, Iggy Stooge was the inspiration for the Ziggy persona.
Actually he did a very in depth interview in the late 90s and he said that ziggy stardust was born as the result of a gig he went to in a small town in the east of England called wisbech. The artist he was there to see was an American rocker called Vince Taylor who was very big in England at the time. Apparently he hadn't turned up for the start of the gig so his band went on and started without him. A few numbers in Vince wandered on to the stage obviously completely off his face clutching a bottle of "mateus" wine and declared "you all think I'm vince taylor don't you? Well I'm not, I'm mateus and I'm the son of god". Bowie looked around at the stunned audience and thought "wow, I could really do something with this". And the first seeds of ziggy were sown! On a side note, immediately after that gig taylor disappeared until he surfaced in France a few years later but his career pretty much ended the night ziggy was born.
@@sambrooks7862 Isn't that weird.....the Bowie interview I recall was from the late 70's. Seen here on YT. Fact vs Fiction perhaps......Bowie was a comedian at times.
Interesting story. Thanks for the info.
Love this style video,,thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was thinking you might have done Physical Graffiti 😉👍
Did that one several episodes back in this series.
Hi Frank always great to see you great idea for a video. Always cool to see the real locations of those iconic album covers. Thank you for the vid. Have a super week.
Thanks Tino, you too.
Hullo, Fraaaank!
Hello!
"Blowin' In The Wind has been done by Peter, Paul & Mary, Johnny Rivers and others but the *Very best version by far* was issued as Tamla T-54136 on 28th June, 1966. flipped with "Ain't That Asking For Trouble". The record company owning the label, Motown, of course, and the artist on the record, why it's none other than *Stevie Wonder!* Stevie had some trouble remembering the words to some of the verses, so Producer Clarence Paul also arranged the song in a call-and-answer routine and the result was sheer brilliance that put *ALL OTHER VERSIONS, INCLUDING DYLAN'S OWN* well-and-truly *in the shade!*
@Neil Forbes i have the the stevie wonder version and a very good one too
oh i almost forgot it was issued as a 45 here in australia
@@travelingman6511 Australia: Tamla/Motown TMO-138; Britain: Tamla/Motown TMG-570; Germany: Tamla/Motown TM 54-136; Holland: Tamla/Motown GO 45-255; New Zealand: Tamla Motown TMM-629; And finally Canada: Tamla/Motown(adopted the EMI-designed trademark) T-54136. That's the major markets dealt with, now for the minor and insignificant US market: Tamla T-54136(same number as in the superior Canadian market).
@@neilforbes416 interesting
Hi, Frank!:-)
Hello there!
The name of the band is Talking Heads.
Annoyingly nobody ever mentions that also in the dead end. Around the corner of where ziggy stardust was photographed. And also in heddon st. Was the phone box which he was also photographed in for the rear of the album. When I worked at momos restaurant 20 years ago. It was still there
That Kanye West theory is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. *sigh* The Internet!!!
I totally agree...
The "Freewheelin'....." album will be *60* years old next year! That's *SIX DECADES, not five!*
@Neil Forbes yes sixty years next year did i say sixty oh dear we are getting on LOL
@@travelingman6511 Oh shut up, will you? You're making me feel positively *ANCIENT!* LOL
@@neilforbes416 hmmm a diamonds are forever and ever and ever eat you heart out Shirley bassey LOL
Funny, I never even noticed that slip up! 60 years... wow!
@@Channel33RPM Scary, ain't it?
K West, UK shoe brand
Dylan's ex passed away a little over 3yrs ago.
PS Led Zeppelin's photo art was photographed not too far from there too.
Which photo art is that?
@@Channel33RPM Physical Graffiti 96 98 Saint mark's pl ( Saint mark's place is also known as 8th street)
Saint Marks place and surrounding areas had some of the best record stores in New York City (in the late nineties). After 911, little-by-little each one faded away.
No Abbey Road?
There is a series of these videos. AR is in one of them.
4:50 What's being blurred?
Not sure. A steet sign? Whatever is blurred out was done by Google on Google Maps. Could also just be a glitch.
Please NO on the K West theory.. crap-a-doodle . ugh
*Talking Heads. No “The”.
Bad habit of mine...
I can sen u my address for Flick of the switch. I want to play it!!😃
Kanye West? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My reaction as well :)
