Place and Time

CBGB & OMFUG("Country, Blue Grass, Blues" & "Other Music For Uplifting Gormandizers"), was a music club at 315 Bowery at Bleeker Street in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Founded by Hilly Kristal in 1973, it was originally intended to feature its namesake musical styles, but became a forum for American Punk and punk-influenced bands like Ramones, Television, the Patti Smith Group, Mink Deville, The Dead Boys,  The Dictators, The Fleshtones, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Blondie, and Talking Heads.  If anybody has any other pictures, storeis, or possible even links to live footage, some posts would be awesome.
