The End of an Era

I have approximately 11 months to make my way to NYC and visit the original CBGBs before it closes. Do any of our older brethren have any stories they can relive about one of the most famous live music venues on the planet?

One I liked was the Ice House in Los Angeles, my band Southwind
played there a few times. Also the Onion Company theater
now closed also in LA, that was my bands first real gig, 4 nights a
week for 5 months, a play by Brendan Behan called the Hostage
starring James Cromwell, Jamie to us. Lets see, also McCabes
Guitar shop in Santa Monica, great small venue, we played there
5 or 6 times.

You've missed the point but that's okay! Sounds like you've played a lot of places...
