[SANDERANT]

the tunnel was to scary and there were too many drugs circulating

[80z90zhouzemuzicgrl]

did anyone notice armand van helden in this video ..and yea its him lol

[DjDedan]

Tunnels heydey was about 1988 in the 90's it got mad commercial...

[Njcore112]

anyone know the name to this track?

[slaterinnit]

@Njcore112 ...not sure of the track behind it, but those really skeletal beats & hi's are def 'Spastik' by Hawtin/Plastikman.

[OrangeCountyGirl88]

My friend and I went to a party in Hollywood that tried to recreate this era...obviously there's nothing like the real thing circa the early 90s. If anyone's in Los Angeles now who was part of it...send me a message! Love to have a friend with firsthand stories of this scene I missed out on...

[Flagrant10]

From 1992 for me brother I'm with you on Limelight, Tunnel and palladium and( the original sound factory= Twilo )...And I agree about Twilo sound system thumped pretty hard... But their lights were insane I could dance on the dance floor and as the night went on it seemed like I was in like 5 other clubs I could never figure out where I was and then boom he would do something to the lights again and would realize I was in the exact same spot the whole night!!!! Damn I miss those days!!! It

[NYCEmpire]

Twilo, Exit, SF, Limelight, Vinyl, Roxy, Ohm, Lot 61, China Club, The World, Tunnel, Palladium + more...all pumping on a given Fri and/or Sat night.

Junior, Peter Rauhofer, Boris, Tony Draper, Jason Ojeda, Denny Tsettos, Jonathan Peters, Danny Tenaglia, Sasha & Digweed, Calderone, David Morales...just some of the resident DJ's we had on the regular

is every generation down on the next phase, or is shit really lame now? Cause I'd love the Studio 54 vibe before my time, but now NY is bad...no?

[slaterinnit]

@NYCEmpire ...Everything has totally been watered down nowadays, kids dont know shit about music today. Its more obvious than ever here in the UK.

[NYCEmpire]

I don't know who most of these people are, commenting, but I know one thing for sure, you get all these mother fuckers in the same place, and we'll all have the same shit in common. We all feel the same exact thing, the memories from those days, the dislike and complaint about the way it is now, and we'd all probably chill like lifelong friends. We were NYC nightlife. Yes, NYC nightlife was ill before Giuliani.

[Bogeoner2]

ahh .. the Tunnel .. Used to be there every friday and saturday night when there wasn't a party. Palladium, Limelight .. If you didn't go to these three clubs before they closed, you never experienced REAL NYC clubs.

[Bogeoner2]

@Bogeoner2

Oh and Vinyl

[mii29]

The tunnel, club twilo , the lime light, club vinyl, club speed , the shelter , o mg back in the days damn I miss it and yo twilo had the best sound system ever.

[boehm145]

THE TUNNEL,THE WORLD,THE PALLADIUM,4D,s,1018,THE UNDERGROUND,...THOSE USE TO BE MY PLAYGROUNDS...............

[xevious2501]

Whats the music name?  thats the problem late-80's 90's had so many styles of club music, acid house , house ,trance, techno and so many artist, virtually nothing but commercialized crap (technotronic, cc music factory) was saved from that time.

TONS of great music was simply lost!!!

[sighco17]

Seems like a good era. Except there was no dance style, everyone just looks as if they are in a mosh pit, jumping around like spastics. Theres no better feeling/vibe when you get to a club and a track comes on and the whole floor just goes nuts. No matter the era, fashion fades & style remains. N thats why we will always be known world wide for our dance style in Melbourne, Australia ;)

[THYRDEYE]

70's 80's were the best in NYC. The 90's is kind of a lost decade. But there were some good times and each era has many memories.

Check out these must see nightlife interviews where host JERRY RIO asks the nightclub crowd the most outragous questions at (Mr Jerry Rio...channel or the Thyrdeye...channels.

[pismanet]

So cool

[MsJovanna79]

OMG - I almost cried when I saw this! Tunnel was my home from '97 - '00. Saturday nights were out of control! Not givin a shit that it's Dec. and 25 degrees outside and we're wearin next to nothing! 18 and not a care in the world. Me and my usual crowd of 15 friends would be in our own little world and nobody else could even imagine if they weren't there. 5 hits a night and bumps on the dancefloor all night/morning long! Dancing on the HUGE speakers, rollin with glowsticks. Best time in my life!

[sjm4unow2]

no good clubs anymore! Limelight and Tunnel were it! I went back in the early 90's all the way to 2000. I miss those days,.

[mekosilvar]

dam.. the girls in this fuckin place...oh my god,... god looking girls from all over the place mostly one's from europe no attitude.. getting action from euro chic's....like crazy.

[hollywood9810]

[lor83130]

this is soo depressing!!! I miss these days. NYC sucks ass now. There are no clubs! no cool kids.. only wanna be suits and golddiggers. noone is creative anymore. no more artistic crews. nada. i wish we could bring the 90s back in soo many ways! they closed all these clubs!! now u go to lounges and play with stuck up losers. i wanna cry!!

[sjm4unow2]

@lor83130 I agree 100%. The clubs now are a crappy feel to them. Boring and the music is not good. The people are either ghetto or fake.

[paratroop82504]

ah man this makes me almost want to cry...Watching this vid makes me realize how much I've changed and how lame I am now. I miss being a crazy drug addled party kid sometimes!!!!

[mrlemonbreath]

damn, watching this makes me think of how much I hated Giuliani for shutting this club down. I remember going to this club during the winter time of 98. The bitter cold couldn't stop me from going to the tunnel.

[fireandhammer]

My favorite memories of the edge of society were here on the floor out of my mind at Tunnel. What I would do for one more night!

[Lean6J]

This used to be the spot for me and my girls just about every weekend back in the day. I would lose my mind on the dance floor !

[DjCorbettNYC]

Ah yes, the good ole days... the song in the video is by Underground Sound of Lisbon as mentioned by someone earlier, but I was also mixing in Spastik by Plastikman (Richie Hawtin).

[rayyzasharp]

That place was fuckin ill. One night I saw Dubtribe at Limelite, then Went to Tunnel and saw Joeski and Josh Wink Spin and finished off at Robots in alphabet city. Ahhh those were the days!

[dmrarch3]

Damn, I loved the Tunnel, I had a blast waaayyy back in the days!!!

[t1hundred]

I agree, the best times ever could be found right inside at say 6 am.

[Leo814]

Name of the first track on this video is SPASTIC by plastic men come and check out my website and enjoy limelight tunnel usa Nasa Tracks Hardcore techno house and real Trance

[MayDayCLE]

The track is "Dance With Me" by Underground Sound of Lisbon. It was on the "Kaos - Totally Mixed" CD by DJ Vibe from 1995. The label is TRIBAL America - pretty sure they're defunct but you can probably find it somewhere. Highly recommended!

[joeyballs30]

Yeah man I remember this high energy at the tunnel, this video with the great track pumping in the back really gives you a taste of what the tunnel was about, great trance, great house always hard always loud.

[HouseMusicTV]

[Mustykidd]

Spaztik- by Dubfire

[uchooze1]

[ufo1216]

God, there will never be another club like tunnel or palladium. Tunnel was such a great club why the fuck did if half to close?

[ironspade]

the owner was forced to leave the country.  it was in operation for a year or 2 after that but it wasnt the same. either way it was an end to the drug/rave culture.

[toddodias]

the same guy also owned the limelight (which is still opened under another name) some chick o.d. on extacy right in the front lobby like 10 years ago or so. They took all his clubs away and fined him 1,000,000 in cash which he paid like it was nothing. I have been to all 3 clubs back in the day and it was the place to be. there will never be anything like it. Most clubs today are too commercialized.

[Riezz73]

which track is this..  its horny

[JerryS571]

Hey Corbett. I always enjoyed your sets. Do you know how to find Dustin P. who did lighting at Tunnel??? He's an old friend. Jerry Curl at gps32003@yahoo

[DjCorbettNYC]

Nice... I put that together a few years back for a DVD when we released the first Limeight CD. I'll post the other videos I have.

[zpaninaro]

I'm a country boy from CT. My first NY club was Webster Hall, Then Limelight, Tunnel, and eventually Twilo. all in mid to late 90's. Tunnel was my heaven. Any glimpses of it are like seeing an old fiend. Getting back to birdcages, I have a story about that...LOL

[Xtreem9087]

[ufo1216]
