The final installment in the Nightclubbing series is devoted to Danceteria, specifically to the video lounge downstairs from the fabled club's main stage. Like the 1980s clubgoers who didn't feel like watching the bands in the flesh upstairs, contemporary audiences can see some of these fine live performances on the screen. Featured are the Go-Go's, Suicide, Pylon, the Offs, the Suburbs, and many others. 1980, U.S., video, 67 minutes.
