I went to cbgb in the early to mid 80's. They used to have sunday matinee's there. 4 bands for 6 bucks.. Hardcore punk bands.
I went to the Paladium in the very early 80's when it was a concert hall before it became a club. It was a 2500 seat theater kind of
Like a broadway theater with a balcony.
Bands like the clash, ramones, judas priest, OZZY ( first solo tour), frank zappa..
It was an awesome place..
Lamour in brooklyn was another.
Nyc was the best place in the world
