00:00New York and limelight were great.

00:06The limelight was an important part of the culture in New York.

00:09Disco, punk, hip-hop, techno, acid house,

00:12all of these are genres of music that began in nightclubs.

00:15Madonna was there, even the Beastie Boys got their start there.

00:18Some of the music I make is definitely the product of spending way too much time in the limelight.

00:23It was pagan Rome on acid.

00:25It's Caligula with music.

00:27Nobody saw the downside of living on the edge.

00:30This was a global youth culture movement.

00:33They became the new stars of Clubland.

00:36A single cool, watchful eye looks over it all.

00:40It is the eye of Peter Gajins, the lord of late night.

00:43Limelight was very important to Peter because it was his cash cow.

00:47It was a gold mine.

00:48He was pulling in 50,000 customers on a weekend.

00:51There was a magical quality associated to everything he did.

00:54These little parties just kept on getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

00:57Did we own the city's nightlife? We owned it.

00:59DEA started to get involved in ecstasy investigations.

01:04Crime was really out of control.

01:06Giuliani decided to make a change.

01:08That's when the crackdown started.

01:09100, 200 feds.

01:10The motto was get Gatian at all court.

01:13I never saw that type of scorched earth mentality.

01:16Bringing him down could serve as a lesson to other club owners to behave.

01:20A better person to choose to make an example of than the one who's on the top.

01:25This is the stuff that's going to take you there.

01:27They were zombies basically.

01:29We were really obnoxious.

01:31You were the star or you were the entertainment.

01:33An open air drug market.

01:35It was like the ecstasy bandits.

01:37It could have been a movie.

01:38Everybody was high.

01:39They positively identified the body.

01:44They turned out in massive numbers, thousands of people.

01:47The gathering happened.

01:50It wasn't part of the real world.

01:51There were very few rules.

01:52It was degeneracy without consequences.

01:57Everyone's having a good time.

01:58You're having a good time.
