Those were the days... Cranking hard techno music, people dressed in biking outfits, topless dancers in cages, "dry" sex shows on the stage and who cold ever forget that silver robot guy going back and forth on the cat walk... and all those crazy rooms...

i remember when "o fortuna" came on one time and the WHOLE friggin crowd, as crammed as it was, moved in unison and euphoria...

*sigh* those were some fun times. maybe after an 8 year absence, i'll hit up limelight for a gatecrasher party cwm17.gif

I have chills running up and down my body from reading all of these old school memories. It was like a whole different world up in that place. Now, years later, I have lived right by it for 2 years, and juding by the super super cheezy crowds I always see outside, I may never make it inside again. But come on, Centro is right around the corner and thats where youll find me now for the most part.

Peace,

Michael

do you remember songs like "dominator", "insomniac", "injected with a poison"... OMG... so different from techno/tance now, but if it wasn't for these oldies but goodies, electronic music wouldn't be what it is today...

That silver guy was Astro Earl, Oh my God!!!! I was a dj there for 2 1/2 years in the shampoo room from 92-94. I use to love that place. Now I hope peter gatien and his evil wife Alex lose it so a real club owner could buy it and bring back the vibe!!!!!1

the shampoo room. chicks dancing in cages hanging from the ceiling. "injected with a poison". Limelight was the first NYC club i ever went to. 1993. i was 20 years old. we used to just go so we could smoke blunts and hang out in the hip-hop room. saw my first public sexual act there. some guy gettin a blow job on the very top floor. was like "wow! you see that!" so naive. brings back some memories.

my friend rob was djing theere once on the mainfloor and all of a sudden the light went on and there were cops everywhere. i was freekin out cause i was banged up. they kicked everyone out of the club. found out later that night that some guy got shot in the shampoo room. after that they checked people a little harder. i used to go alot on thursdays cause they had the hardcore parties there wich was pretty cool. i really miss limelight aqlot.
