The Mercer Arts Center was one of the most important venues for live rock and roll in New York City from 1971 through 1973, when the building it was housed in collapsed on Aug. 3, 1973, with almost no warning. In its short life, The Mercer Arts Center became a rock and roll legend. The New York Dolls, David Johansen, Johnny Thunders, Sylvain Sylvain, Billy Murcia, and Arthur Kane Jr., all had regular gigs there.
