some more info from Relix:
Patti Smith, RANA, Lee "Scratch" Perry and Fishbone Confirm Final CBGB
Appearances
2006-08-28 16:06:30
After hosting live music for over 30 years, CBGB will shut its doors
this fall. While the veteran New York rock club has not finalized its
exact schedule, a number of the club's most famous alumni have confirmed final performances at the Bowery venue. Punk/poetry icon Patti Smith-one of the first CBGB performers to attract national attention in the 1970s-will play the club's final show in early October, though an exact date and on-sale information have not been announced.
Later this fall, CBGB will likely relocate to Las Vegas, an odd end for one of the live music scene s most forward-thinking independent rooms. New York-based promoters Rocks Off, who have promoted numerous shows at the club over the past five years, will curate CBGB s final run. The Rocks Off staff has helped close down a number of New York venues, including Wetlands in 2001 and Tribeca in 2005. Bands confirmed for CBGB's final stretch of shows include the Angry Samoans (9/9), RANA (9/13), Pete Yorn (9/14), the Dead Kennedys (9/21), Agent Orange (9/23), Lee "Scratch" Perry(9/25) and Fishbone/Dub Trio (9/28).
CBGB will also close out its Downstairs Lounge with an over twelve-hour festival beginning at 2:30PM September 30, featuring a number of underground artists.

<br>Are you going to the Patti Smith show Schwenko?

Unlikely..
I will be in Toronto that day, and am planning to run a half-marathon. I fly back to NYC early evening that day.
I doubt that I could get in, probably sold out.
And you?[:)]

Not me - can't afford the travel and just don't have the time. I'd love to hear a report from someone who goes though! It would be pretty significant to see her not only perform there - but close the place out.
