Patti Smith Group, Television, Talking Heads, The Ramones, Blondie, and all whom they inspired!
Caught The Clash elsewhere in an old ballroom later

The important factor was I had agency vs at 15, so I could go where I wanted to. For some very local bands (one almost got signed) me, and some neighborhood rock fans 4, or 5 of us would go, and then pile in a cab to go all the way from The East Village up to upper Washington Hgts. Great times.

Also a bit later The B-52's. My sis and I headed across town on a bus on a hot, humid night to get to a packed CBGB's so we couldn't get in, but we could hear them; so it was great time anyway.
