About this product
Product Information
Steve Adelman's humorous and engaging memoir reflects on his years as the director and owner of some of the world's most popular nightclubs, including the Roxy, Limelight, Tunnel, and Palladium in the heyday of clubs in New York City during the 1980s and 1990s, followed by Avalon (Boston, Hollywood, NYC, and Singapore locations), and the New Daisy Theatre in Memphis. Nocturnal Admissions is a timely, unconventional look at one of pop culture's most outwardly glamorous, yet misunderstood industries, bringing the reader backstage into the world of nightlife at its highest level. Wearing the multiple hats of ringmaster, entrepreneur, guidance counselor, multimillion-dollar dealmaker, and music soothsayer, Adelman chronicles an improbable journey from small town to big city, filled with a cast of characters he could never have imagined: People named Hedda Lettuce, Jenetalia, Maxi Min, and Jiggy, who collide with and around the likes of Jack Nicholson, Bruce Willis, Sir Richard Branson, Leonardo DiCaprio, RuPaul, Rudy Giuliani, and Snoop Dogg, among many, many others. Navigating city crackdowns, crazed partners, and cultural differences, Adelman relates how he watched his Nana out-dance an ex-NFL lineman, was chastised by Bob Dylan, launched the EDM cultural movement, helped created the "mash-up" with Perry Farrell, butted heads with Jerry Falwell, rang in the New Year with Matt Damon's mother, leveraged porn star Jenna Jameson, relied on advice from felons, almost pancaked Prince, and built the world's most lavish nightclub. Nocturnal Admissions is a hilarious, adrenaline-filled ride through the peak decades of the world's most famous nightclubs and nightlife scenes.

Reviews
"With his 30 years of experience running the world''s biggest nightclubs, Steve Adelman takes you behind the velvet rope to a world of celebrity, power, debauchery, and, most of all, fun. With his dishy yarns and observational humor, he transports you so you''re right there basking under the lights of a disco ball with him."--Kevin Fallon, Daily Beast "Steve Adelman knows nightlife. His customers might not remember much, but Adelman does. In Nocturnal Admissions , he takes us on a youthful adventure into the depths of dancing and drugging and hooking up--without ever losing his sense of wonder."--Richard Johnson, New York Daily News " Nocturnal Admissions chronicles a great time to be alive. In the late ''90s and early 2000s, American nightlife got a second wind and in the thick of it was Steve Adelman with clubs in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. Playing for Steve at the Avalon clubs in Boston and L.A. was always one of the highlights on a stateside tour for me, with sold-out nights and lines around the block. Steve''s clubs set the standard for the events that take place now."--John Digweed, DJ and record producer "For three decades Adelman has been a nightlife innovator at the highest level. Whether it be mega-clubs in NYC or dance clubs in Boston and Hollywood, he has set the trend for others to follow. Nocturnal Admissions goes behind the scenes into his world and feels like a funhouse where you can''t help but anticipate what''s around the corner."--Jodi Goodman, president, Live Nation Entertainment, Northern California "The world after dark I''ve photographed for over four decades is a place unique to our culture. One where its inhabitants are free to be themselves, without restriction, societal standing or sexual orientation. Nocturnal Admissions captures the humor, commonality and lessons learned from the crazy, fun, glamorous, at times outrageous, ever-changing and essential gathering place we call nightlife."--Patrick McMullan, celebrity photographer " Nocturnal Admissions is a can''t-put-it-down book exploring the world that I''ve lived and breathed all my adult life, told in fascinating style through the eyes of one of the scene''s most important players."--Judge Jules, DJ and record producer "Electronic dance music culture has blossomed and transformed over the years, but its mythos runs through Steve and his seminal contributions to nightlife. Even in the aftermath of 9/11 and the throes of a devastating pandemic, he has proven that the bonds cultivated in clubs are vital for human nature. If the past can speak to the future, Adelman''s work is the cell tower. And Nocturnal Admissions is the carrier."--Jason Heffler, EDM.com "An insightful love letter to a magical era in nightclubbing history. If you were lucky enough to be there, you will bubble over with nostalgia, and if you weren''t, you will be inspired to start on your own nightlife journey."--David Ireland, founder, Magnetic Magazine "While reading Nocturnal Admissions , I laughed, I cried, but mostly I hoped...that someday Steve would get a real job."--Myrna, Steve''s mom "Playing the dark Avalon nightclub in Los Angeles was like evoking a mysterious live energy inside a classic architectural masterpiece. Nocturnal Admissions goes behind the scenes, documenting everything that goes into running venues like Avalon, and how the environments Adelman created brought out the best of a DJ''s creativity while performing to a crowd desperately waiting on every mix. When I played clubs like Avalon, I felt a responsibility to deliver."--Steve Lawler, DJ and music producer Past Praise for Steve Adelman and His Nightclubs: "Adelman sets the scene, from Old World clubs to hipsters."-- The New York Times "''Excitement'' is a word to describe Adelman''s clubs."-- Variety "A Hollywood innovator."-- Los Angeles Times "The game is played at different levels and Adelman is in the big leagues."-- Inc., "Steve Adelman knows nightlife.

In the late '90s and early 2000s American nightlife got a second wind and in the thick of it was Steve Adelman with clubs in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. Steve saw the appetite for electronic music was growing and built some of the best clubs at that time. I was so glad to have been a part of this period as the energy was incredible. Playing for Steve at the Avalon clubs in Boston and L.A. was always one of the highlights on a stateside tour for me as the clubs had the best sound and lighting money could buy and sold-out nights with lines around the block every time. These clubs set the standard for the events that take place now."--John Digweed, DJ and record producer "For three decades Adelman has been a nightlife innovator at the highest level.
