Recently I went to see a couple of shows at CBGBs in NYC. Two weeks ago I saw Fishbone's last show at CBGBs. Overall it was a entertaining show. After the show people outside mentioned that Bad Brains were going to play in two weeks. I raced home to my PC and looked for tickets. To my dismay the show had already been sold out. Luckily they added a third show. I managed to get tickets to that one. Let me tell ya about it.
Got there early the weather outside was in a word wet. It was pouring down hard but I we were patient. Once I got this feeling of anxiousness. What would they open with would HR act up? They opened up with I Against I after that it was all a blur. I do remember being at the pit toward the end of their set. Yeah I'm guilty of reliving my youth. I had to do it.
CBGBs closes it's doors this month. It was the birth place of punk rock music. On a purely superficial level it's a small venue. But the history is undeniable. I'm sure there will be another CBGBs but it won't be the same.
