3 Saville Row, London - see you at the rooftop

[gvopedz]

Every single day, fans are taking pictures of the outside of 3 Savile Row – but next year they can go in and explore all seven floors of the iconic building, including the rooftop where even the railings remain the same from that famous day in 1969.

Interesting that they do this when the Abbey Road studio won't even consider opening a gift shop there. In fact, when I went about 25 years ago, they wouldn't even let you into the building. You walked up to the door and there was sign saying something like "This is a working studio. No visitors allowed". It should have said, "We know you want to spend some money, but we don't want it."

That was live when I went. Me & my wife got a picture with us crossing... unfortunately, I cannot find that picture anywhere. It was at a time when the world was between film developing and digital photography and I wonder if it got lost in that shuffle.

FWIW, be careful if you try to get that picture. Cars fly up that road.

What was the address of the building in NYC where the Jefferson Airplane did their rooftop performance?
