Beach: Club Nu; Warsaw; Uncle Charlie's...etc etc ad nauseam...evidently ur a troll who is still discontented that you were NOT able to stay up or stay out late enough to dance and dejay for 6 nights per week. - except Mondays because there were no clubs open with any good music to dance to!!!

I hv no intention to tarnish yr memories of the P.G., but so much great music was coming out back then, that it cud hv been anyone in the DJ booth. It just so happened that L.Levan was lucky enough to be at the right place, at the right time. I am 100% that he had excellent taste in choosing his grooves. All the artists that recorded such classic cuts, shud be exalted, rather than the DJ I absolutely hv nothing against L.Levan. And i am very happy that all of you had a great time!!! But i really think that euphoria that still resonates in yr mind, is thanks to all the great artists that recorded fabulous records back then!!!

Bro, how long did go to Better Days? I didn't know of NY nightclubs until the late late 80's, but by the time i started branching out it was closed. My question is (if you know) What other DJ's played there beside Tee Scott? and how did the Better Days version of I Was Born This Way come about? Thx.
@danielclyburn7572

hey bro I was going there in the early 80's . I was just a teenager lol. going to clubs and still graduated HS and college with honors. when I was going usually Larry Patterson , Kenny Carpenter or Shep Pettibone were alternating weekends other Dj's were Bert, ,Bruce Forest, Francois Kevorkian,. Born this was just a black "gay" anthem. The song was originally released in 1975 by Valentino. Chris Spencer and Bunny Jones are the writers. They rewrote the song released in 1977 with Carl Bean as vocalist. The song was to deal with the growing plight of the gay community during that time. When WBLS first played it Better Days had already claimed it as a club anthem. Hope this helps. Actually Garage NYC was my ultimate club of choice. Then Catacombs in Philly. There are quite a few Garage mixes with Larry Levan on youtube.

@@danielclyburn7572 Hi guys. I'm Bruce. I started at Better Days in 1980 when Tee had a fight with management. I had no idea what I was doing, but I'm a fast study and by a year, we had opened more space in the back, added four RLA Berthas, bigger mid cabinets, new finned JBL highs, kept the Rosner tweeters, and another rack of amps in the coatroom. The sound system by then was insane. We stayed open later (Till 6AM, 8AM on holiday Sundays)and from 1980 till 1984 I did five nights a week. I gave up Thursdays when my studio load got big, JonJon Hernandez, Dave Morales, Kenny Carpenter and Francois K played those nights for me. After Tee left, Larry Patterson never played there again (thought he and Tee (rip) were great friends.) Bert Lockett never played after 1980. I started bringing studio gear into the club in 1982, and by 1984 had a studio in the booth. Dave Cole would often come and jam along with me. I started using him in the studio, he started a relationship with Rob Clivilles (a Better Days Thursday DJ) and they formed C&C Music Factory. Better Days was the most fun I've ever had in my life. Thanks so much for being a part of it.

@@skfj67 Actually the Better Days mix happened because the original was popular, and Eddie O'Laughlin at Next Plateau asked if he should re-release it. Sure, I said. He then called me to his office to sort out all the tapes and pick the right mixes. I did so and at the bottom of the box was......the multitrack. I asked Eddie "Hey, you mind if I borrow this? I'll just make a mix for myself." I called Shep and got us free time at Arther Baker's Shakedown Studios. It was a Thursday so Kenny was playing. In four hours, Shep and I, on a manual desk put together what we thought was just a rough, ran off a copy and headed to Better Days. Played it, (the one with the a capella intro) and the place went volcanic. We never could create a mix with more energy (and no verses. Hah!) So the secret of the Better Days mix was no pressure, because it was just for us, and because we built it for the Better Days children. And yet it still works. How bout that, hm? Thanks for your kind words. //bruce

But it was in the music where i sought and found myself. We need a "Better Days" in these times more than ever. I dont need to tell you that the movement and revolution you guys created will be forever a part of music history in the house music and underground club scene. I personally remember your nights of mixing and hollering to you "You better work dammit". I would give anything for 1 or 2 or 3 lol nights of that feeling i usta have from being in the midst of great music and people. I thank you for allowing me to have those "Better Days".

Did he hit out of the park every night no. But he took you on a musical journey that were memorable. You can see it by the post of the people on KZitem. Today’s DJs and some of the hating old timers think they’re better or on the same level as Larry Levan and a few others. Honestly they’re not even in the same planet. Just saying
