I saw a few acts that inspired me to keep singing/composing then I performed there supporting a friend’s music. What a blast!

I saw one of my favorite guitar player of all timePrice-Sulton—the short-lived pop-rock duo formed by childhood friends and musicians Kasim Sulton (bassist for Utopia) and Thommy Price (drummer for Joan Jett & the Blackhearts)—played their debut live performance at New York City's famous venue, The Bottom Line, on January 20, 1987. This iconic performance was part of the promotional push for their lone collaborative album, Lights On, which was released in 1986 on CBS Associated Records.

It was a great music venue, where you could see name acts, up close and personal, and not be sitting in a giant stadium …… it was always a pleasure to go and see artists perform there. And not only that……..I performed there myself- with Joan Baez, Angela Bofill and many others!

The Bottom Line brought an excitement to the Village and the city with extraordinary and legendary performances. In addition, providing a fantastic venue for original, musical theater, most notably "Leader of the Pack" and "Just Once", made this club a very special place. I was there many, many times to see these shows and the intimacy of the audience connection to the performances, were amazing. The Bottom Line deserves be recognized and remembered for its role in the New York music scene.

The Bottom Line was a comfortable, intimate venue that happen to feature some of the best musicians and music in its day. It was a NY cultural treasure. I was very sad when they closed.

The Bottom Line is a New York treasure. It gave a whole generation of people a slew of great shows. It gave many of us our starts in the music business. It definitely deserves a street named after it!

Too many concerts played and watched here. One of the places of worship of my youth.
