Live Landmarks?, Significant places in Live history... Options

[brianblank]

I did a quick search and didn't find anything, but I am sure someone has done this before. How about putting together a list of historic Live landmarks?

Chameleon Club
CBGB's (RIP)
Otter Creek - Inspirtation for 'Dam at Otter Creek'
This diner?
Granfalloons a restaurant where Chad and Ed used to work
Edgar Fahs Smith Middle School where the guys all met
William Penn High School
Murphs Other Bar - There are some signed Live pics on the wall including one of Pat's wedding. Plus Pat and sometimes Taylor still hang there sometimes. Adam also has been known to play a solo show there on occasion.
Caterpillar - York factory - part of the inspiration of 'Pillar of Davidson'
Harley Davidson - York factory - part of the inspiration of 'Pillar of Davidson'
9:30 Club Washington DC, last show as public afftection...sign deal...and played many many many more shows there
Max's on Broadway, Fells Point Baltimore - First show as "Live"
York Fairgrounds - Many early shows played here
Lancaster Trust Building - served as a rehearsal space for the band from 95'-98'.
Historic Blue Star Hotel - filmed sections of the Turn My Head (Hometown version).

Thanks to: Heather, Gertjan, tswart1, +Ed+ and WaiterAtCliftons

Have you got a copy of the "Past Present & Future" show MTV did on the band in the mid 90's?
I think a few York landmarks were discussed and visited... but it's been a while since I watched it...

I don't know the early history of Live, so I was wondering whats about the Otter Creek Camp

[Gertjan]

I remember a fan site with a few collected pictures shot in York and Lancaster at Live hot-spots. A quick search to find the link failed but I think I have it backed up at home. I'll see if I can post it here.

The song "The Dam at Otter Creek" from Throwing Copper was inspired by events when the "boys" hung out at Otter Creek just outside of York. The back cover art from Throwing Copper is a picture of the guys at the campground.

Hehe!

I think the Chameleon and Otter Creek are the main Live landmarks. Other than that there is Granfalloons, a restaurant where Chad and Ed used to work www.falloons.com and William Penn High School where the guys all met YCS.K12.PA.US both of those are mentioned in the Past Present and Future thingy. Another place that I think is cool to visit is Murphs Other bar. There are some signed Live pics on the wall including one of Pat's wedding. Plus Pat and sometimes Taylor still hang there sometimes. Adam also has been known to play a solo show there on occasion. http://www.murphsotherbar.com/

I have no idea what diner is in that picture though.

One more thing, I don't know if you are into bikes or not but the Harley Davidson plant has a pretty cool tour at their facility. The factory is also very close to the old Catepillar plant both of which inspired the song Pillar of Davidson.

I'd have to add the York Fairgrounds as well.

Not much to see but the boys have played there, both as Public Affection and as recently as a couple years ago.

I have an old black and white poster from when they played there as PA
