4.0 out of 5 starsCBs Celebrated In Pictures.
By Warren Z. on August 20, 2005
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Forget the current controversy surrounding CBGBs, this book isn't about that. This book uses pictures to describe the life and times of this Bowery landmark from it's early days in 1973 to the present. The first picture (not counting the inside cover shot of their famous toilets) is of The Ramones, and the last shot is of Handsome Dick of The Dictators. In between lies b&w photo after b&w photo of punk and New Wave in its infancy. If you were there this book will remind you of how it was. If you weren't this book will graphically tell you the story of NYC area kids tired of corporate rock who just wanted to play a few chords as loud as they could so they could feel the rush.

5.0 out of 5 starsVisual feast for the eyes
By Paula Ehler on December 12, 2005
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The days of punk are long gone in a haze of AquaNet, black eyeliner and black leather. But thankfully, a handful of artists had the forsight to immoralize the scene in glorious black & white. The photographs are arranged in chronological order and include a who's-who of the punk scene. Some of the in-your-face images bring you to front center stage where you're right there with the usual suspects--Ramones, Television, Blondie. There are lots of surprises too including a great shot of Stiv Bators with Divine, and a shot of Klaus Nomi, Christopher Parker & Jim Jarmusch taken outside at the front of CBGB's. If you ever wanted to know what the punk scene was like in its early days, or if you were there and need a bit of a jolt to jog your memory, you've got to get this book.

3.0 out of 5 starsEh...
By Stefan Bucher on September 6, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
A beautifully produced book of mostly band photos. I'd hoped for more photos of the crowd and the venue itself. I wanted more history and a better sense of the place. But again, a very nice coffee table book.

5.0 out of 5 starsbut some great photos of some great bands
By ChuckG on September 4, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Not much text, but some great photos of some great bands. It contains a who's who of music in its chronological images. I was surprised that I didn't see a shot of The Sugarcubes from when I saw them there in 88.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Nice book about a very famous venue
By Lovblad on July 14, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is an absolute necessitty For anyone remotely interested in The New york punk scene. You Will see incredible pictures of Blondie, The Ramones and More. Unlike most books about a venue this one does never get bogged down in its local aspects. This is due to The fact that The cbgb was so central to a major change in music. It gives a wonderful idea of The gigs For people like me WHO were stupid enough to Walk past it in 1990 and think "oh, cbgb" and never Walk in.

4.0 out of 5 starsWow, they look so young!
By GWLT on December 30, 2009
Format: Hardcover
The history captured in the pictures in great. It was bought as a gift for a music fan. After spending a lot of time looking for a DVD history of the CBGB, I "settled" for this book. While there isn't much narrative on the history of the place, the pictures tell a great story on their own. The baby faced pictures of artists we grew up with makes it a great purchase for music fans.
