[Music] Iconic band locations

[PeterT]

I was always a big fan of the Smiths, and took the opportunity recently to visit the site of one of their most iconic locations. What other iconic locations connected to a band have you been to?

I didn't do it the justice Kevin Cummins did, but if I'd gone the next day it would have been snowing...

I was going past Battersea Power Station on the train on the day this was taken, I was only a kid and knew nothing about Pink Floyd.

The now demolished Plaza de Toros where Bob Marley played in Ibiza

Been trying to paste photos of A40 Westway and The Clash but that seems to be beyond my capabilities…..

Although I’m not a fan of U2, I have been to Red Rocks in Colorado where they filmed the War tour and some tracks recorded were on Under A Blood Red Sky.

Amazing setting for concerts.

I'm a total Factory nerd, so did the original headquarters, Palatine Road, Ian Curtis' house and grave, Strawberry Studios...

I expect you’ve listened to the Transmissions series on youtube. Goosebumps throughout, as you hear opening bass-lines or chords.
