WarpdriveNYC Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I Pay allot of respect for the Founding Fathers Like Larry, Franckie and all those DJ's from that era.... Killer clubs Like Paradise Garage, WareHouse have a history to tell.... now let's not forget what Junior did @ the old SF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthling Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 But did you Take SF in consideration when you named the top 3 best clubs??How about palladium, Tunnel, limelight and te rebirth of the old sf space..twilo? These clubs when at there peaks were amazing. I am sure places like the Paradise Garage were good for there times but i would defiantly put these other clubs right up there with it....and i am sure they will find there place in history just like the Garage did.

The DJ Line ups was Killer, The best Sound System in the world, And once again JV was on top of it all, I can really say that cause I’ve been to all those clubs. I know we are going to hear some shit from our European friends that there clubs were just as good, But there DJ's Bragged about Twilo themselves.

backupqueen Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 It's a little hard to name the "best clubs", maybe silverbull meant the early clubs that defined dance music, maybe it would have been more accurate (although missing the Loft).

The Loft....the stories i hear from that place R just amazing also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbull Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I didnt include the loft cause it wasnt really a club. And yes i agree that a better title wouldve been 3 OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL CLUBS , or 4 while throwing in soundfactory 27th street. But then it all goes back to the loft n to the sanctuary.

starscream Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 In My opinion Paradise Garage with Larry was the most influential club ever. it most def was and theres no denying that.Where do you think Junior would go on a Sat night to hear spin.Larry Levan @ PG.i am also aware that Junior did a prefect job @ taking over where Larry left off.Just like Larry, Junior is founder of alot of Dj techniques used today and there is no denying that,(however much you would like).and just like the PG era the Original SF era (which i was able to survive lol) had the aura the people the vibe it was all just prefect couldn't be any better.and trust me being 18 and from upstate Ny and being this little whiteboy it was not easy back than to get accepted.it took awhile,things were a little shaky i 1st but it was all worth it in the end.On an ending note,i cant even tell you how many of todays Djs i have seen @ a Junior Party atleast once,than i here that dj spin his set and i can tell how they incorperate some of Juniors sound with there own style.Ok u can all have your way with me now lol.

clinton Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 there is no denying the importance of larry & the garage, its the archetypal underground house/dance venue that still resonates with like 2 or 3 generations of clubbers, not just in nyc but also all usa & even europe.but before the garage was studio 54 & i think youll find its a very historic club socially like the garage was, and also musically BEFORE the garage. studio is more famous globally & in the history of nyc, clubbing & nightlife in general, studio remains perhaps THE symbiolic disco/club in the history of nyc & usa clubbing. it was influenced by european clubs of the 70s which shld not be ignored. as far as junior, yes SF is prob his most legendary residence. but i became aware of junior at the palladium, circa mid-80s. the young people here may not know about the 80s heyday of Palladium but it was major, man. and even into the mid 90s palladium was hosting some massive dance nights, like the orb, rabbit in the moon, banco de gaia & many more. at that time tunnel & limelight were awesome debauched events but do u remember showing up at palladium in 95 & how debauched that was? that big lobby at palladium. with the guestlists & the bathrooms? as far as the glam scene like studio 54, the 1985 palladium was a classy joint. the 80s might have been the heyday of big rooms in nyc with studio, limelight, palldium & tunnel. fast forward to the late 90s, juniors saturday nights at twilo were major, made booking the euro progressive djs from 11-6 am & then junior taking us on his trips from 6 am on....exit didnt hv the same feel for junior. still waiting for junior to establish another nyc residency like his sf or twilo glories. waiting....

silverbull Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 studio 54 was the most famous but it wasnt a musical haven. Most people dont een know the dj was named RICHARD KAZOR (i hope i spelled it correctly) it was all about the flash and celebrities adn stuff. WHILE the LOFT, GALLERY, PARADISE GARAGE was musically driven. And everybody knew the djs name. Some moron even once said "wow i have seen the club of the future everybody with everybody all races and genders" in 1979, guess he missed the memo of the LOFT and SANCUTUARY, and FLAMINGO and PARADISE GARAGE doing it b4 studio. And studios owners steve and ian first club was over in queens called the enchanted garden and loved the gallery and the garage. Nicky siano has some funny stories bout steves sexuality at that time.
