BlackDog Gwynedd Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I just realised i cut out an article from the 1970s Rolling Stone magazine telling everyone where Led Zep got the inspiration for their Physical Graffiti album. well here goes !! The Building or rather the pair of buildings is located on the south side of St Marks Place, in Manhattan New York between Avenue A and First avenue aproximately two thirds of the way up the block. The Rolling Stones also chose the same site possibly unknowingly to record their video for their song Waiting for a Friend. In the video Mick Jagger can be seen standing in the right hand doorway to the flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's easy enough. The tenament buildings on the back were near Dudley, not far from Robert's home in the Midlands. Sadly, they were all demolished a few years ago.

Thorzep Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 There's a small vintage clothing boutique in the building just below street level called Physical Graffiti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
