60's and 70's Music of the West Village - Dylan/Springsteen to Woodstock

Gerde's Folk City, The Gaslight, The Bitter End, Kenny’s Castaways, The Bottom Line, Café Au-Go-Go: these venues launched the careers of some of America’s most beloved artists. All of them were clustered in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village. There’s a reason why “The Village” was the first place Bob Dylan and many others came to when they landed in NYC: they knew this was where it was all happening! We’ll visit these and other places that played a huge part in the stories of many of your favorite artists, such as Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, and hundreds of others. In some cases, their entire lives were changed by just one performance in the darkly lit basements of MacDougal Street. Come along and take a trip to the actual places where the action of “A Complete Unknown” happened, and walk in Bob and Bruce’s footsteps and those of their female counterparts.
