Best thing about CBGB Closing | Concerts!
"CBGBs Announces Month Long Drive to Secure Lease
Dead Boys, Gorilla Biscuits, Living Color and Others to Play Benefit Shows in August"
"These concerts will be a mix of old and new bands from many genres of the underground! Everything from reuniting 70’s punk legends the Dead Boys (last time ever) to modern punk bands Against Me, and Thursday will be lending their support to Save CBGBs. Other acts include: Living Color, Gorilla Biscuits, Sick of it All, Adrenalin OD, The Liars, Channel 3, Today Is The Day, Circle of Dead Children, Rana, Circle Jerks, and music legend Warren Haynes with Government Mule. English punk bands Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Anti-Nowhere League, Sham 69 and Conflict will all be coming to the US just for these special benefits! More of your favorite bands from the past and present to be announced soon."

Wow. Return of the Living Dead. I saw Living Colour at CBGBs in... 1992? '93? I didn't think they, or it, or I would last this long.

I've been on a real nostalgia kick lately, and this is just what I need. If I get to see AOD @ CB's one more time, I can let it go. Return of the Living Dead? Sick of it All played the first time I ever went to CBGB, May of 1987. They weren't even headlining. Man, I really am a dinosaur.

I should also say I'll be tempted to go to CBGB more times during this month of August than I have in the last 10 or more years, which is one reason I won't be too upset if they close.

BV, we're depending on you for scooping those scheduling and on-sale leaks so we can get tix before they sell out in 45 seconds.
