Sirius Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) will broadcast the last NYC hurrah for CBGSs, featuring the legednary Patti Smith, on Sunday, October 15 starting at 9pm EST. Tickets for the final show reportedly sold out in less than 10 minutes.
Smith, who first played CBGB in February 1975 says, "Although we mourn the closing of CBGB, we should remember CBGB, not merely as a place. It is a state of mind."
CBGB plans to open at a new location in Las Vegas. I imagine that Sin City will embrace the club, particulary since Vegas has become even more of a playground for young stars with its proximity to Los Angeles.
