| - | Directly underneath the dance-floor level was a large lounge with several juice bars. Beer on tap was sometimes served for free to avoid the licensing oversight of the [[New York State Liquor Authority]]. Above and outside the dome was what would become the controversial balcony, where patrons could see down to the dance floor, through the [[Scrim (material)|scrim]] of the dome. It was there that men relaxed and, according to the sexual mores of the times, could indulge in sexual activities. Several times during the year, themed parties such as the "Black Party" and the "White Party" attracted celebrities from around the world. These Saint parties are considered by most disco historians to be the precursors to the [[circuit party]]. | + | ===Compilations=== |
