As the owner of legendary hotspots like Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium and Club USA, Peter Gatien was the king of the New York club scene until years of legal battles led to his eventual deportation to Canada. This exuberant documentary charts Gatien?s rise and fall against the transformation of New York City, offering a wild ride through a now-closed chapter in the history of NYC nightlife. From the director of "Cocaine Cowboys."


is this leaked online anywhere??

That is going to be awesome.

Although I was too young, I have friends that lived through that era and the stories are crazy.

Those were very special places in NYC. I think myself and every one of my friends tried there first drugs at these places.

I was at Limelight many times back in the 80's.

Lost many brain cells there, along with The Tunnel, Danceteria and Palladium.

cocaine cowboys 1,2... rakontur... good docs.

I remember seeing Richard Bey doing huge lines in the bathroom of Limelight when I was 15. A year or so later they were closed down for a while, opened again and closed for another while. I was really pissed they took out the Giger room.

The furry room in The Tunnel rocked. At the time all my friends loved Sound Factory and I hated every single time I went there.

gotta see this one, the cocaine cowboy docs are great.

the second one about the female colombian drug lord was chilling.

Billy Corben is fucking amazing. He also did "The U" for ESPN 30 for 30, about the University of Miami football team, and has another one coming out called "Square Grouper", about the early days of the marijuana trade in South Florida...

square grouper has been on netflix instant queue for a while...saw it not near as good as CC but interesting none the less

Nice, that looks badass. Just added it to my Netflix queue. Or whatever Netflix is called now.

I recognized this club as the subsequent Avalon and it got me hooked.

Two hours later I'm still reading about this Michael Alig cat.

Interesting times.

Cocain Cowboys 1 rocked!

Okaaay...
