CBGB in 70's - Part 1
七十年代紐約傳奇酒吧
CBGB (Country, Blue Grass, and Blues) was a music club at 315 Bowery at Bleecker Street in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Founded by Hilly Kristal in 1973, it was originally intended to feature its namesake musical styles, but became a forum for American punk and punk-influenced bands like Ramones, Misfits,Television, the Patti Smith Group, Mink Deville, The Dead Boys, The Dictators, The Fleshtones, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Blondie and Talking Heads.
The storefront and large space next door to the club served as the CBGB Record Store for many years. Eventually, in the late eighties, the record store was closed and replaced with a second performance space and art gallery, named CB's 313 Gallery. The gallery went on to showcase many popular bands and singer/songwriters who played in a musical style more akin to acoustic rock, folk, jazz, or experimental music, while the original club continued to present the best in harder, louder post-punk, metal, and alternative rock acts.
The club closed in October 2006. The final concert was performed by Patti Smith on Sunday October 15.[1] CBGB Fashions (the CBGB store, wholesale department, and online store) stayed open until October 31 at 315 Bowery. On November 1, 2006 CBGB Fashions moved to 19-23 St. Mark's Place but subsequently closed in the summer of 2008.

When I started going through my parents record collection and coming across bands like The Ramones, The Heartbreakers, Blondie and Television grabbed my attention and how the Punk Rock scene unfolded in the states.

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

Oh I still adore Blondie, Ramones & Talking Heads ❤️❤️❤️

[@agyvonne]

i took pix of almost all the groups back then and also recorded on my cassette recorder.....i still have all of it

[@Majesticon]

I hope you archive it! You're sitting on a spiritual, artistic and possibly financial goldmine!

[@reneehowell2465]

Please put it on the market 🙏 😫 😭 😩

[@jackcomet222]

Gotta put them on KZbin for all of us to enjoy , don’t be selfish !! 😖😖

[@thomasandersen6719]

She is lying

[@UnitedSoundVideo]

Yea right

[@jjmalone1966]

Blondie sounds great here, Debby Harry, more talent, style and looks than all the Madonna,Brittany,Gaga's, ad nauseum combined. How'd they get our high school radio teacher for the voice over? Lol

[@CosmeticsBeautyAndMaturity2nd]

I meet them all and hung out at CBGB for 4 years in the late 70s one of the Ramones took me home back to Brooklyn in a cab.

[@DDios-ih9de]

That would be Mark He lives on Ave J back then Or it was his twin pretending to be Mark Mark couldnot afford cabs

[@tippytootoo]

I was there. I wish I had taped all of my memories.

[@secpac58chichi]

Amazing that Television was at the forefront of punk being from Cleveland - there was no internet - it took a long time for things that originated in NYC to get to the rest of the country in those days - wonder how they got their inspiration - if they were inspired in '73/74 in Cleveland they were years ahead of Ramones NYC '73/74

[@starburst539]

+secpac58chichi Television wasn't from Cleveland The Dead Boys were.

[@DDios-ih9de]

The Dead Boys were from Cleavland

[@patrickdaly5068]

I had totally forgotten about those Coca Cola patchwork pants back in the day. Haha. Boy was Blondie great! I love the raw fast driving sound here!

[@CartoonManWhoo]

Why are The Cramps never mentioned? They were literally there! They get brushed over.

[@maxinemuldoon2065]

I seen the Ramones in 88 they were great I’m so happy I seen them.

[@reneehowell2465]

You fell in. Then fell out! Wow good times!

[@edwardbliss8931]

We need another movement like punk, but I'm not seeing any anger towards commercial music, and this has me very concerned

[@NoBody-jk8kv]

riiiiiiiiiiiiight fuck people nowadays

[@charlestonrezz5188]

Well I put up an ad at guitar Center in Times Square about how im looking to form a punk band who wants to deliver a message for change and yet still nobody has answered my ad. So I guess no one is interested in being a punk band in NY. Fucking hipsters.

[@Brewzerr]

I doubt there will ever be another musical movement like punk. If it was ever going to happen, it would have already happened by now. I know this is going to make me sound like the crotchety old man who shakes his cane at the whippersnappers saying "get off my lawn!", but the younger generations are just too quick to admit defeat and embrace mediocrity anymore. That's not to say that there aren't any good new punk bands out there today. For example, Amyl & The Sniffers from Australia, a new and young band, are 100% the *REAL* deal... but they're an anomaly. As far as actual cohesive, viable movements go, there's just no spontaneous combustion igniting an entire generation. The original punk movement had that.

[@derrickbrady9816]

Narrator sounds like a punk rock Rod Serling

[@antoniosibilia511]

👍👍👍

[@putsomething]

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Ramones - the first band to find CBGB? I'm pretty sure Television was playing there regularly long before the Ramones even knew of the place. Not even a mention. tsk tsk.

[@DDios-ih9de]

Jayne County and The Magic Tramps then Stilletoes Teleivision than Ramones quickly after

[@UserNamesUsedUp]

@uItravioIet -- holy smokes Wayne/Jayne County. What a flashback! Had totally forgotten that band!

[@noway4668]

God save punk rock who knew the future would suck so bad

[@CypressItalian]

great footage. the narration is a bit corny, but still a good doc.

[@alanm5939]

Anyone able to post this in decent quality?

[@BORNTORUNANDALIVEMAN]

my dad was at one of these shows ramones in 1975 bruce springsteen 1975 blondie 1977 you name it, except he can't remember any of it. oh well good music anyway

[@balloonfarm5903]

Gave rock a shot in the arm after rock became so slick and mellow it was boring.😎✌🏽☮️🎸

[@OnlyForAngels]

@putsomething Yea, they really set the world on fire with drawing in 10 people per show.

[@putsomething]

@uItravioIet yeah, yeah. I remember reading there were a couple bands who played there before Television, but I couldn't remember which ones. But yeah, my point was just that Television was there long before the Ramones, therefore, the Ramones couldn't have been the first band to play there.

[@manfredbb127]

五 提史丹利史丹供 LoL!

[@deuce2469]

ramones 4 ever.. they were the true punk rock band.. they started awhole new genre

[@cartonet]

what a joke not a mention of The Dictators, the original inspiration for Joey&Co

[@Brewzerr]

The 'tators ALWAYS get overlooked and swept under the carpet, even though they pre-date the Ramones and Television. It's because they didn't mix and mingle with the pretentious art crowd, and of course the infamous incident with Wayne County.

[@charleshall3372]

Exactly!

[@fastloudrules]

Why debate who was first to play when or where punk was all started...it really is a dumb persons need to be important for whatever reason...so stop being so redundant.

[@vincenzosallusto1648]

The best band 🎸🎼🎵💉💊 cbgb,,😱💉💉🎸🎻🎷💉💉

[@ihghost]

Could the narrator be any more smarmy?

[@Brewzerr]

No Dictators? Fuck this.

[@PencilDrawnJohn]

The thing is... no one started punk. And why do we even care?! thats a journalists job surely.

[@richardhewit215]

Who gives a fuck what prominent journalists have to say.

[@arkadiuszrak532]

Punk not death Poland

[@Kyravexa]

@MmeLEnfer X-Offender (originally named Sex Offender, but the radio..

[@lostaglio6666]

the n.y. dolls kickstarted the punk genre. don't believe me? read a book.

[@charlestonrezz5188]

Mc5

[@DDios-ih9de]

Absoulutely

[@spleeber]

Announcer is a wannabe Rod Serling, but doesn't have enough testosterone.

[@TheJetfighter666]

I hate this phony announcer. Same guy who did the Plasmatics vid. What’s the deal guy? Just talk normal. I was there, were you.

[@KevinWoodland]

Yeah, the announcer is unbearable.
