The pic was taken at the Sunset Marquis Hotel - Slade's regular haunt when they stayed in LA during the 1970's. The boys stayed there again in 1984 when they returned for a week in March/April to promote Run Runaway. They also used a bar/restaurant called Barney's Beanerie.... The locations and events during their stay (Sunset Marquis, Barney's and Don hitting the town with Bob Dylan's daughter) were mentioned in Nod's lyrics to Ooh La La in LA in 1987.
Just realised that the above pic, found on the internet, from 1976 - has some history behind it.
