Description: Wrapped in a giant Union Jack flag, The Who slump like battle-weary veterans on the steps of the Carl Schurz Monument in Morningside Heights (around W. 116th St. and Morningside Drive, New York, NY 10025), turning an uptown park into a makeshift British rock embassy. Shot for the 1978 soundtrack to The Kids Are Alright, the scene feels like a hungover dawn after the wild 1960s—four mod icons catching their breath as punk and disco roar just beyond the frame. The weathered stone and iron railings give the cover a quiet, almost elegiac mood, a world away from smashed guitars and exploding drum kits yet haunted by their echo. This is one of the New York moments you’ll track down in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
