It's All the Streets You Crossed Not So Long Ago has posted dozens of ads... here's one from the paper dated June 16, 1975...


7/21/75

And here's James Wolcott's review of the Ramones from July 21...


She has a collection of ads circa 1975 for other venues, including Club 82 ... and the Beacon.

Fun to read a review of the Ramones from back in the day! Would've loved to have gone to the CBGB Rock Festival. I remember reading about that in Rolling Stone.

If I could tell you how great Club 82 was you would come on yourself. First of it was downstairs. The only ones who were of unambiguous gender were those who were NOT the gender they appeared. It was too great. Plus all the drugs in the world and a generous spirit. One of the best place on earth. Like a safe Frida's Disco.
