[sollykim]

6:25 best part ever

[hardcorehouse]

Good to see this done. Could've been better if the quality of editing and music selections had been better. You and me against the world as mentioned is questionable, and the music choices lazily relied too much on then recent house tracks. In truth the house era was only the last 20% or so of the Garage's life. NYC post-disco underground club music played there comprised the beginnings of what later went to Chicago. The world never learned of this because NYC's scene was truly underground.

[juaniboy]

Patrickmbutondet, I only wish to get a glimpse of the beauty that you folks witnessed and celebrated that time. Amazing, amazing, amazing Energy!!!

[JacksPgh]

I went as often as I could afford to. It was always unforgettable. A NYC that doesn't exist anymore. New York has been scoured clean. AIDS choked New York to death

RIP all my friends

[BolnoyBratchny]

[uniqueterror]

@180guy "Release Yourself" by Aleem featuring Leroy Burgess

[chitownragdoll]

I one of the lucky ones whom had been afforded the opportunity to have partied at Paradise Garage, US Studios Warehouse (Chicago), The Circus (LA) and of course the Palladium (NewYork). Danced to the music of: Larry Levan, T. Scott, Frankie Knuckles etc. Those were the days.

[Disco247]

[RedTigerDynasty]

Thanks soooooooo much for this! I am just getting into electro/dance music and this is a great history lesson on the genre!

[SilverdaleDubs]

Thanks so much for uploading this Caligulalia!!

[Bond1806]

I bought this DVD as soon it got out on Amazon. I was born in 1974 in Europe and this is one of my biggest regrets that I was not so lucky to every be in Paradise Garage or Loft. But the spirit of those clubs travels through the years and across planet.

[ranus69]

You missed a great time there is nothing like this today sadly . I would travel back and forth from Chicago's Powerplant and the Muzic Box to the Garage and the Saint in NY. What a time and the stories I could write a book as many others could as well.

[JDTNYC71]

@Bond1806

I was born in 1971, and I started to party in NYC Club Scene in 1988. My friends and I feared going into clubs like Paradise Garage because they were too gay, we were in our late teens and naive about the dance culture. But I overcame this fear, underground dance music made you color blind, and I began to accept and respect gays and lesbians because we are one race, human race. In 1988 I started at the Palladium, Undergound, Sound Factory, Tunnel, Limelight, and on and on. Peace.

[illray]

disco circus

[patrickmburtondet]

Very beautiful ... lyrical ... I disagree with the openning narration, "it was you and them against the world" ... That was not the teachings of Larry Levan ... We were with the world ... Someone went to church and didn't get the message. I grew up at the Garage. When I was 17 I made my pilgrimage and was there the last night, September 27, 1987 ... Larry, the music, the love ... This I keep in the corner of my thoughts ...

[zoef3636]

@patrickmburtondet lucky ass!!!

[Chasson0318]

This ought to be a movie! What's the name of the tune at 5:07...I used to LOVE that song!

[sashonska]

I MISS NEW YORK!!!!!

[sashonska]

In this first segment, DJ Antonio Ocaso's interview in an alley way is, for me, the most compelling recollection...as he relives that unforgetable moment on the dance-floor...shivers.

[SicksentZ]

Yes! You could FEEL how dear that memory was to him. I've got to grab this on DVD

[DJSTRANGEFRUIT]

as nicky stated into fashion and Art as well as music. A true rennissance man. I loved Larry and the experience he and Mr. Brody provided each weekend. As a V.I.P. wrench holder I spent many nights in the booth. It was a time when the club DJ shaped the music you heard. The garage featured the legendary 'Levan horn' which Larry designed along with Richard Long. It really was the cornerstone of that Richard Long designed system. It, I heard made females climax. It was awesome.

[DJSTRANGEFRUIT]

Wow The Garage Nicky Siano was an idol of mine I remember being in the booth at the Gallery with John Mattarazo. Nicky was without a doubt the best disco disc jockey ever! Bar none. I love his memories of our friend Larry. He truly was an artist. as Nicky stated into fashion and Art as well as music. A true rennissance man. I loved Larry and the experience he and Mr. Brody provided each weekend. As a V.I.P. wrench holder I spent many nights in the booth. I do feel very lucky as I look back

[GS5ChiiNiiTa]

Does anybody know the opening song??

[flaccidegoshow]

What the hell is the track @ 5:00?! Lawd have mercy!!!!

[eddieg2008]

I watched this last weekend on the Logo channel. It was pretty good, but unfortunately it made some of the commenting DJ's sound stupid with some of the chosen sound bites. FYI, when someone you are interviewing uses a phrase or word out of ignorance that is incorrect or inappropriate for the subject at hand, don't use that clip!

[lefrombk]

eddie grant time warp sick track

[koolzainski]

I wish the volume was louder on this...

[halcon99]

Also, if anyone knows the name of the track at 3:15? It is driving me crazy!

[NYCEmpire]

Ahh, there it is, the very core underlying the essense of all remixes. Good stuff Dj. Gotta love when you find out what the original is. A bit before my time, but I dig deep into the past (when disco layed the foundation for what is now house and all it's descendant genre's...not all are good tho)Thanks for the correction.

[discomadness]

ive met that guy jesse(the guy whos holding the instrument in the doc) from loop records in chicago. and antonio ocasio has his own record label from nyc. called trade winds(to the best of my knowledge) nice doc.
