After months of legal wrangling and bitter negotiations, CBGB will finally be closing their doors at the end of September. The club plans to announce their final performances in the near future and speculation is that many artists who helped build the club's reputation will return to close the place in style. While fun to bandy about names, the same proclamation was made during last summer's "Save CBGB" promotion with
Living Colour being the only notable name to lend aid to the cause.
Owner Hilly Kristal plans to reopen CBGB in Las Vegas in 2008. "I am taking the bars with me, I am taking the stage. I'm taking the urinal that Joey [Ramone] pissed in with me. I'm going to take a lot of things, anything that makes this place CBGB."
