It's interesting in this day and age people take pictures like this for granted (one guy on fire), they just assume Photoshop, or more recently AI generated. But the 1970's were quite different. That was real.


"The cover images were photographed by Aubrey "Po" Powell, Thorgerson's partner at the design studio Hipgnosis, and inspired by the idea that people tend to conceal their true feelings, for fear of "getting burned", and thus two businessmen were pictured shaking hands, one man on fire. "Getting burned" was also a common phrase in the music industry, used often by artists denied royalty payments. Two stuntmen were used (Ronnie Rondell Jr. and Danny Rogers), the former dressed in a fireproof suit covered by a business suit. His head was protected by a hood, underneath a similarly fireproof wig, and fire-resistant gel was applied to him. The photograph was taken at Warner Bros. Studios in California, known at the time as The Burbank Studios. While the first fourteen takes were successful, Rondell suffered minor burns when the wind changed direction on the fifteenth, singeing his moustache."

Yeah it was mere seconds to get the image too before the fire extinguishers were deployed from what I remember

[boredjedi]

And the buildings used in the cover of Physical Graffiti still exists


96 and 98 St. Mark's Place

[chuft]

Weird since they're from the UK

[boredjedi]

Same location and buildings 1981 music video

[chuft]

Aren't there a million buildings that look like that in NYC? Why do they keep using the same one?

[boredjedi]

I dunno. In this case, maybe the Stones used it because of the Zeppelin Album cover.
As for everything else, it is located in the East Village which was the hang out for a lot
of the artists and musicians. CBGBs, Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground etc...
The entire surrounding area there.

Hmmm. The melody, heard clearly from 0:10 to 0:20, reminds me of this song, starting at 0:25.

This song featured in an episode of The Last Of Us in Season 1, the merry-go-round scene.



starting at 0:16. Subtle but I caught it.

[boredjedi]

starting at 0:16. Subtle but I caught it.

At first it sounded like 0:20

[chuft]

No it's definitely that Cure song

[boredjedi]

Definitely on that. I was just saying it sounded at first but as it went on yeah The Cure.

[boredjedi]

[chuft]

I always considered this song "easy listening" or "soft adult contemporary"

[boredjedi]

One of the better ones. I've always liked it.

4 of his most iconic soundtracks (at least to me) - Enter the Dragon, Rush Hour, Battle Creek Brawl and Mission Impossible

[chuft]

Haven't heard the TV series Mission Impossible song in.....a very long time lol. A bit of nostalgia.
