johnbt Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I never got there; too busy with grad school and working. www.imdb.com/title/tt1786751 Alan Rickman was good as Hilly Kristal running his failing Bowery club. "CBGB follows the story of Hilly Kristal's New York club from its concept as a venue for Country, Bluegrass and Blues (CBGB) to what it ultimately became: the birthplace of underground rock 'n roll and punk. When Kristal had difficulty booking country bands in his club on the Bowery he opened his doors to other kinds of rock music. Kristal had one demand of the acts he booked; they could only play original music." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any early videos from CBGB's put them up. Dave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) In my youth I worked a lot of small gigs and a few large. Sad I get older...... but I still love those sets I worked on. At the end of the night "Strike" was the word... Show done.. Yep the groupies trying to get around and up to the performers was an experience. Dave..

PeterG7 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Ok I'll keep it Going The Ramones 1977 Their first gig at the club started off with a fight amongst the band because they couldn’t start the first song in time, they dropped their instruments went backstage had their dust up. when they came out De De counted them off and that’s how they did all their songs after that.
