I was there - it wasnt that great a night - u couldnt move it was so packed, park was playing loads of his own remixes and boring vocal garage, thankfully pickering was there to pump it up a bit - even if his mixing was all over the place.
I loved its old industrial feel to it! Thats what I loved about that place... If I was to open a club... I would replicate that... A pure fucking mad den! :)
A bygone era.... One we're not likely to see again. :-) What a shame that a night out now involves watching coked up people trying to look hard. For shame....
very proud to say I was there going mental o the front of the stage, still got the ticket stub, yep there are some casulties, but some strong survivours too, the music stands the test for me, though this is pickering set and we were the Biddulph, nakid night crew, what a night.
is there a lot of casulaties of people who used to go places like the hacienda? Most of the people who used to go will be at least in their 40s now, are a lot of them a mess or did it not effect them too badly?
actually thought the Hacienda was very over rated myself.Just that the pills at the time were very good.Would have have been buzzing my tits off stood in a bus stop in them days.
The Hacienda post 89 wasn't that great. Mainly full of posers, tourists & those lucky (or unlucky) enough to get past the psycho doormen. Konspiracy & Thunderdome (Oldham Road) were more cutting edge musically than the Fac51. Personally, I preferred the Boardwalk & the Venue (best club on Withworth St West!) Then again, what do I know?????
@bitterfuse95 Sounds like you and I went to the same clubs - remember the herbal tea party? Atlas, Nowhere, The Dry Bar... ISOBAR... um I'm racking my brain now...
But jup... Cool memories! - But I'm a Hacienda goer by heart!
sankeys 'was' a good club, but it aint legendary or ever will be by any stretch of the imagination. Every raver worth their salt past and present know of the hacienda, it is legendary
best nights ever back then if we couldnt get in the hac we used to go to the pleasuredrome for a bit of the old dj welly!!!!them were the days when the northwest was leading the way in house music!!!!wigan pier,maximes,hac,pleasuredrome,shelleys,park hall,quqdrant park,to name but a few off the best clubs!!!!my favourite music was the garage from the hac around 91!!!!!
ha im from carlisle can remember been in the hac in about 90-91 me mates dad gave us a brand new lada so we could go clubbing!!when in the hac i found a tag heuer watch and some lad asked me if id found one?? is said no so i went to find me mate when i was returning i could see a gang of mancs looking about for it then the lad who asked me spotted me so started making his way towrads me so i done one the lada was going like a ferrari threw manchester lol...
The Hacienda was legendary right throughout the world during it's peak of 88, 89 into 90. It's almost impossible to describe the influence this place had on the entire dance scene and also the city of Manchester.
@nettoblaster are you for real it was only demolished in 02, you are obviously fucking clueless or you wouldn't say that. It was legendary worldwide by the end of the 80's!
This was the place that brought us the likes of Happy Mondays & Joy Division. And knocking it down 5 years after it shut made it what it is today? That comment is so fuckin dimwitted! haha you fuckin dimwitted twat!
@spangla777 - Nothing good about that. The oldskool crew should put down their pipe and slippers and get out. The scene needs them.... Some great oldskool gigs being put on these last few years.
I aint a Manc but love everything the Hacienda and Fac51 stood for. For the guys that think they cant party like this nowadays you really need to goto Sankeys and the warehouse Project!! Viva la House Music!!!
this makes me honored to have been a part of it from the start. i carry memories that will stay with me all my life from the friends i made to the music i raved. in all i am proud to have been saw and danced my ass off...
What a tremendous vibe! I'm a little too young to ever been able to visit the place at its peak, and boy does it hurt... You can't party like this nowadays...
@joydivisionfanboy |Too right mate. It's gone back to being all about the booze and the birds and the saturday night syndrome. Just the kind of thing the movement was against.
well not everywhere. there's still plenty of people who want to bosh some and rave it up. but what does annoy me is the rave scene getting commercialised, doing it because its 'cool'..a la 'nu rave'...thankfully it seems to be dying down a bit, haven't heard the horrible term in a while
the closest thing i got to go as good as the hacienda was the clubs in ibiza lol dont think they play this stuff no more, wish they did though!! rave scene is dead!! bring back yester year!! lol
i know what you mean even though i never been to the hacienda unfortunately ,but i relate 'cause i miss stonehenge and the other free festivals from the '70's and early '80's .good times always get squished by s.u.o.e.u.
i was there 91 N.Y.E . . don't remember it much . the night before there was 20 of us from blackley/crumpsall/moston in CLUB MAZZO , AMSTERDAM . happy days . thanks for the upload ;-)
the thing I remember most about the Hacienda was when a really stomping tunes came on the dancefloor shook so much it made the records jump on the decks good times!
