Robbie Gil/The Bitter End

I've seen Robbie Gil a couple of times now. He's a fun local artist, so I still go out to see him when I can.

This is Robbie:

But what really made this show (Concert #2 out of 5 during marathon live music week) rockin' was the venue.



The Bitter End is a famous Rock 'N' Roll Club on Bleeker in the West Village. It's been around for almost 50 years... and that's a long time in a city where restaurants often don't stay open for more than a year.

The Bitter End was one of Bob Dylan's hangouts, not to mention the launching pad for some of the greatest artist of our generation.

To name a few:

Tori Amos
Blues Traveler
Vanessa Carlton
Tracy Chapman
David Crosby
Miles Davis
John Denver
Neil Diamond
Bob Dylan
G.Love & Special sauce
Hall & Oates
Indigo Girls
Etta James
Norah Jones
Billy Joel
Patti La Belle
Lisa Loeb
Sarah McLachlan
Joni Mitchell
Van Morrison
Linda Ronstadt
Carly Simon
James Taylor
Joe Walsh
Stevie Wonder
Neil Young

I was impressed.
