NEW YORK (CNN) -- CBGB, the legendary rock club long associated with the
bands that spawned the punk-rock music scene, closed its doors early Monday
morning after a farewell performance featuring poet-musician Patti Smith.
The closing brought the demise of a New York institution after 33 years.

Accompanied by her longtime band members, Lenny Kaye, Jay Dee Daugherty and
Tony Shanahan, Smith belted out band favorites and cover songs from the
Rolling Stones, The Who, Blondie, Lou Reed and the Yardbirds.
