At this point I really just wanted one question answered: Did the collapse of the nightclub at the end actually loving happen, or was it a hallucination??

One way or the other, the collapse certainly symbolizes obviousness.

I mostly agree with zer0spunk and was a bit disappointed by the sheer predictability of it all. Much of the music related stuff came across, as The AV Club put it, as the producers/writers saying "“This was real music, maaan” over and over again. The music industry setting offers opportunity for lots of drug taking and tits, it's an HBO show after all. And apparently Scorsese can't help himself either, and HAS to throw in the mob and a murder. Especially the latter was the kind of hook this show really shouldn't need.
I don't know. The result isn't really bad, there's just too much talent involved for that. But the pilot was much less fun to sit through than I hoped.
