Mountains video - another weird coincidence

I'm currently in Nice and have made a point of visiting a few UTCM filming locations whilst I'm hear (got some great pics btw)

Today I learned that the America video was shot just yards away from my hotel at an outdoor arena with the iconic MTV interview straight after.

I also learned that the Mountins video was filmed here at Studio de la Victorine, shooting took place on the 21st April 1986. A bit of strange coincidence considering the narrative/tone of video itself and of course the ending.

For Mountains (how can you assess the date?), I didn't know but for America, it was for sure shot at Studio de La Victorine.

Here. I'll stand in for Bart since he seems to have called out sick from the org today.

Ahem...

Thanks for posting spookEElectric! Had no idea about that date correlation. I tried unsuccessfully to orgnote you. Would you please send me an orgnote? I wanted to discuss something I know we're both interested in.
