Australia and crowd footage from the Sydney concert used in Live-ism

Fireworks: underneath Chalk Farm Bridge in Camden North London, Some random tube station, some random London estate, Picadilly Circus.
Lighthouse and various other scenes - Dungeness near the power station, beach scenes i thought were shot near Rye also near Dungeness (all down in deepest darkest Sussex somewhere between Hastings and Folkstone.

Oxford Circus tube methinks- not a Londoner even though my folks are...
japeke said on August 19, 2006 16:23:
Anyone was done in portugal, not in spain.
Salvation in Napels, not in Rome.
whateveriam said on August 19, 2006 16:50:
Yay, was right! I go there quite a lot, but I never remember where I go Tube-wise!
RobS said on August 20, 2006 01:28:
I never realised that they filmed three clips in Australia. I remember reading on here about Vulnerable, but not the other two.
Vixzter said on August 20, 2006 07:40:
the random tube station wasn’t Oxford Circus as its and outside shot, Oxford Circus is all underground isn’t it?
whateveriam said on August 20, 2006 07:56:
How do you get out of the Underground-by going upstairs! Its the outside of the station

Scroll down and see the photo (OK, it is round the outher side, but it is that station

RobS, you can see Sydney Harbour bridge in the background of COYH at the start.
How sure are you DYGE was filmed in W.A? I thought it was done in the Eastern States around the same time as COYH. The same director (Wayne Isham) filmed both videos, so I wouldnt of thought they would drag him around from one side of Australia to the other?
brentnewtown said on August 20, 2006 10:15:
I was also unaware that DYGE was filmed in WA. As I said in my post, I am not sure how accurate that list is. Also what was said about COYH ’plus some from an extra shoot done on the morning of their first Sydney concert’ i think could be wrong too. I had a friend who claims he went to one of the Sydney concerts and the crowd was invited to return the following day (??) to be part of the filming of a music video.
RobS said on August 20, 2006 11:08:
I’m gonna go check that out...
and what do you know, the harbour bridge is there in the background.

Fireworks video shot: when they’re outside the tube station its Picadilly Circus.
There is also a a part on a tube station where Per is busking, i’ve looked before and never seen a station name anywhere, but that is above ground.
onlywhenidream said on August 20, 2006 15:10:
I don’t think that it is an overground tube station - as none of them have seats like those in the video - I think it is more likely to be a overground train station - looking at it, I have this feeling of South London somewhere - possibly out past waterloo.
whateveriam said on August 20, 2006 19:54:
No, thats another (rail, not Tube) station when they’re outside and Per puts his foot on the suitcase- don’t know where though. But, there IS a bit where they film outside the entrance of Oxford Circus Tube station, methinks.
Piccadilly Circus looks too big for that shot (the stairway looks too big), maybe its angles or something, I don’t know -I was only 6 when it came out!
whateveriam said on August 21, 2006 10:13:
OK, got AVEMAM out and I was wrong. Got it confused with other video, but what I have no idea!

Flash back April 3rd 06 (location london) early hours of the morning.... did you or didn’t you sing Fireworks, or did I dream that!!
The beach in Fireworks was Rye...
Vixzter said on September 3, 2006 20:13:
@ally77: possibly attempted singing fireworks at some point but i think we were trying to remember the 2nd verse of opportunity nox at the time ;-)

Yes I also knew Salvation was shot in Italy, at the seaside near Naples, I was looking for the exact name of the place but can’t find it at the moment..!
ditroia said on September 4, 2006 05:58:
Salvation was shot around Napoli and another seaside town, but for the life of me I can’t remember.

It was shot in Positano, a smal town on the amalfi coast near Naples. I once visited the beach and the hotel where it was shot, a beautiful place! some photos here:www.positanonline.it/positano_immagini.htm
ditroia said on September 4, 2006 14:17:
That’s it Positano!
Damn I kept thinking Salerno.
thanx Mate
Secretkeeper81 said on September 4, 2006 17:47:
That’s right! Thanks! Positano sounds very likely indeed ;-)

Here was I thinking the desert was done in a studio. Maybe the lighting confused me, hehe.
