Axl tells the crowd he hasnt been asleep for 2 days! CBGB was a music club opened in 1973 byHilly Kristal at 315 Bowery, intersecting Bleecker Street, in the East Village. The letters CBGB were for country, bluegrass, and blues, Kristals original vision. Yet CBGB soon became a famed venue of punk rock and new wave bands like the Ramones, Television,Patti Smith Group, Blondie, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, and Talking Heads. From the early 1980s onward, CBGB was known for hardcore punk. The storefront beside CBGB became the CBGB Record Canteen, a record shop and café. In the late 1980s, CBGB Record Canteen was converted into an art gallery and second performance space, CBs 313 Gallery. CBs Gallery was played by music artists of milder sounds, such as acoustic rock, folk, jazz, or experimental music, such as Dadadah and Toshi Reagon, while CBGB continued to showcase mainly hardcore punk, post punk, metal, and alternative rock. At about year 2000, CBGB entered a protracted dispute over allegedly unpaid rent amounts until the landlord, Bowery Residents Committee, sued in 2005 and lost the case, but a deal to renew CBGBs lease, expiring in 2006, failed. The club closed upon its final concert, played by Patti Smith, on October 15, 2006. (wiki)
