Beverly Hills 90210/Glam Slam/clubs

Question
There is an episode that some of the gang can be found in a club that appears to be one of Prince's Glam Slams as is evidence by the "symbol" located in the railing. Any idea which episode this is? I am trying to find a song that plays in the background but need the episode to listen.

Answer
Hi Eric,

I'm not sure if there's a Prince/90210 connection, but I checked all the episodes where I remembered the gang had gone to a club outside of the Peach Pit AfterDark, and didn't see any such symbol.  The episodes were as follows:

1.01, "Pilot".  Donna, Kelly, and Brenda go to The Blue Iguana.
1.04, "The First Time". Dylan, Brandon, and Sheryl go to Contact.
2.15, "U4EA".  Everyone heads to an underground club with Emily.
3.03, "Too Little, Too Late/Paris 75001".  Donna and Brenda go to a dance club in France.
3.14, "Wild Horses".  Everyone goes to Jazzari's to watch David perform, and they end up meeting Diesel, Nikki's ex.  
4.06, "Strangers In the Night".  Brenda and Stuart get acquainted at Falcono (Falcons?).  
5.01, "What I Did On My Summer Vacation ...".  Everyone takes Valerie to Doheny's for her first night in L.A.  
7.32, "Graduation Day".  Bill Taylor throws Kelly and her friends a elaborate grad party.
10.14, "I'm Using You Cause I Like You".  Gina and Dylan schmooze at the opening of Hi-Bar.  

The Senior Prom was held at the Bel Age Hotel, and there were a few parties sponsored by the KEG house Fraternity ("Greek to Me", 4.04; "Scared Very Straight", 4.20), where you might have seen a symbol for the Frat.  The AfterDark was featured in nearly all of the episodes from S5-S10 and had a spotlight projection symbol of a flying toaster, most notably on the floor.  

Hope this list gives you a lead.  Thanks for the question!

All the best,

Mel

Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.

Experience

Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
