It's part of history and there is less and less of that being represented of that in the world. I don't want to see it go and have everyone say "oh man, i wish i could have seen that." Like the blue note or the village vangard, it's a venue that shouldn't go.
I will admit that i'm not huge on they're business practices. There's a lot of reason that big bands don't like to play there. Part of it is they gouge bands that play there. Big bands are pretty much donating to them by playing there anyway. It's cool to play cBGB's. On the other hand, as a band you will take home more money playing at another place.
They could do well if they'd potenitally get another booker, try to adapt to some newer music, and quit making who ever plays there feel like they are getting screwed.
