CB's 1974 Youtube clips, including Blondie and the Ramones.
In a feeble attempt to combat my constant homesickness, I compile tales of New York City rock & roll landmarks, most of 'em long gone. Moronic musings on various other enthusiasms are also thrown in for good measure.

Bacchus Rock Palace (the Stilletoes gig flyer, also the New York Dolls performed there) was actually located at 209 w. 48th St.
I performed at the Bacchus with Squeeze, the same band listed in one of the CB's ads above. The Bacchus was a beautifil, classic 1940's night club with white cloth tables that curved around to a semi circular room. The stage was elevated and also had a curved front. There were massive curtains hanging on the side of the stage. It looked like a set for a scene in a Rita Hayworth film. It's a cryin' shame that so many gorgeous venues in the Times Sq. area are all gone. Squeeze actually started performing at CB's in Feb '74 , a few weeks before Television began doing Sunday shows. We were the first band Hilly booked when he decided to start bringing original rock and roll bands into the club. The Bacchus show would be our last. The members would end up returning to CB's with other bands. Eventually I ended up Sire band Alda-Reserve then joined the Revelons in 1980. The Revelons performed during the "Final Week" fest at CB's in 2006 topping off a personal 32 year run of performing there.
oops. Should add my name.
