Studio 54 review (Alan Nelson interview; Steve Rubell)

[@joshgellis3292]

Truman Capote got in often. OF course Alan Nelson got in- all he needed to do was mention he was with WSM TV's channel. I'm 34, and LOVE DISCO music- I'd LOVE to get in if only ONE time only!

[@louiscaruso4167]

Steve gave Truman a party when Truman got a face lift.

She had to make sure she said he had a all expense paid,.....

[@cyborganisation]

Scene cuts to Alan Elson getting down with it in the VIP screaming “Fu***ing C’mon!”

[@hightops77]

Cher was once denied entrance.

[@louiscaruso4167]

For the record Alan, Truman Capote did get in 54, Steve gave him a party when Truman got a face lift.

Detroit had its version, called Cheeks. They were very selective. Local news anchor Doris Biscoe was turned away, she wasn’t happy. The following week, the club was passing out bumper stickers that read “No Disco for Biscoe”. I wish I had one, LOL.

[@billcampbell9488]

Does anybody know the actual date on this? Thanks.

[@ENigma-um8zw]

I’d say late-1978/1979 most likely, before they went to jail for two years

[@Mr1991kid]

Internet archive has the video and says published 1980 so 1978/1979 most likely like what other person said.

[@billcampbell9488]

@@Mr1991kid Thank you.

[@hightops77]

Truman Capote was a regular there.

[@Btone33]

When it reopened in 88 I got in....and got thrown out for ruckus. Larry Levan's birthday party I think

You were so blessed to have that era and that fun hold it in your heart forever if he will never ever be forgotten his legacy

[@Fingerling2012]

@@vernalittle9953 thing is though in 88 studio 54 was tamed and watered down, the best time was in the 70s in the rubell/shrager era but hey at least he can say he was there

Sadly. No.

[@mariogiresi6792]

If there are they are not in the USA. We are far too politically correct to enjoy ourselves anymore.

[@TomTom-dn1er]

The Berghain in Berlin regarding the door policy, sexual liberty and some celebs like it. Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue did small private concerts there. Britney Spears didn't get in.

[@steelstreet3765]

@@TomTom-dn1er Why do they do this?

[@HousemusicSavedMyLifeongoing]

@@steelstreet3765 Probably because they know how to create the hype....the Berghain is / was world famous for its strict and very selective door policy ...until Corona hit the clublandscape.... actually the bouncers do pretty much have a good feeling for the crowd and they probably thought that Britney Spears might cause too much attention? I dont know... google Claire Danes on the Ellen Show...she was a short time regular at the Berghain while doing a movie production in Berlin. She sums it up quite well... the vibe there....but the Berghain has not a bit of the glamour which the 54 obviously had... wish I could have partied there one night...but I was still a kid when it closed :)

Both owners went to jail for income tax evasion, because they weren't able to arrest them for what was happening on the second floor.

[@jeffsor47]

It's called tax skimming.
