The Last Days of CBGBs

The Last Days of CBGBs

Hilly Krystal and his daughter, Lisa.

I paid $3.00 the first time I went to CBGBs. The band was Television. I thought that they sounded so bad that I went back to the door and asked for my money back…

These photos are from the last time I went to CBGBs, when it was closing its doors for good…I had to pay again

All the hundreds of other times I went there, I was either on the band’s guest list or Hilly let me in for free.
