Can someone post the exact address of the street where the video was filmed with mick and keith sitting on the steps. Things to do when I'm in New York.

Thanks

The bar where the band sang at the end of the video was the old St. Marks Bar down on 1st Ave and St. Marks Place. The neon mural of the band hung behind the pool table for years, until the bar was sold. Sadly, the new owners tore down a bar chock full of character and history, only to put up yet another yuppified lounge. If you go travel around the corner on St. Mark's, you'll see the original stoop where this video was shot. Right across the street is the building used for the cover of Led Zepplin's "Physical Graffiti" album.

cheers

I thought that the building where Mick and Keith are sitting on the steps was the Physical Graffiti building?

It's funny, I used to hang out on that stoop many many hours in the day. They used to have an AA meeting right there somewhere. In those days I didn't know what AA was; I thought it was where people went to get free booze LOL.
It's true they tore down all history and charm, atmosphere and cooolness on St Mark's Place. Giuliani is a good man, but he did a number on NYC.
