Probably wouldnt find Placido Domingo here.
Elvis was told he should go back to truck driving after he made an appearance at the original site of this place.

 

Grande Ole Opry Nasville, TN

I initially didnt find it because when Elvis was told to go back to truck driving,the Opry was at the Ryman Auditorium. When I looked at that it didn't fit.

I'll post in a moment.

 

I saw this on the History channel tonight.

Puzzle is not solved as I have no idea what it is.
Shadows looked like London.Found the location just by looking for the railroad tracks .
Anyone is welcome to take it from here.

 

Evan beat me to it......

 

Must be my age made me think Battersea would be well known; I keep forgetting icons like this Pink Floyd "Animals" Album Cover with its inflated pig suspended between the smokestacks had become tattered garage sale fodder years before most of the world today had been born. Now there's an art form whose loss to CD and iPod technology truly has diminished us: the LP album cover (and some would argue the loss of vinyl has too). Ahh well ---
