I know that place! šŸ˜®

I love it when I recognise familiar locations in a film or music video-
It always makes me :smiley:
Iā€™m not talking about iconic buildings/landscapes, but lesser-known ones that Iā€™ve been to.
Anyone else got any gems?

An example is Robert Miles ā€™95 tune Children , (multiple locations) but includes driving up the snow-covered Chamonix valley in winter, an annual ski-pilgrimage I made with the family for about 20 years (thereā€™s an amazing split motorway section at 3.12 sec in, as well as the building on Lake Geneva , where my wifeā€™s parents lived when I met them.

Another is this clip by awesome Irish tradrock band The Horselips-
It was filmed on a rooftop in central Dublin (on Lower Baggot St.) and features many familiar structures-
South Dublin Bay with St. Maryā€™s Church behind the fiddler; The Pepperpot Cannister church behind the bassist; Poolbeg power station behind the keyboard player and the (long removed) ā€˜gasometerā€™ behind the guitarist.
Dude on bass could not be any more 70ā€™s

Damn I always loved that tune and watched that clip so many times when it passed on MTV.
Listening to it again make me realise the beat they used is so dry and dirty :smiley:

There used to be a video clip of Novastar where I was in for a brief shot but I donā€™t think it can be found somewhere. Fimed at ā€œAxion beach rockā€ in 1999 or 2000.
