Before the Internet, the all-ages punk or metal show was the lifeblood of the scene. Philly had several great spots where you to check out new bands, meet like-minded people, and generally feel a sense of belonging -- even in a crowd of strangers. 3 bands for $5 to $8 was the norm, though City Gardens in NJ ran some higher priced shows with some of the bigger bills. Us? We generally stuck to Club Pizazz, where Sunday afternoons of great lineups were a mainstay for years.
