[jodhpurs]

I never went. I stayed in and watched telly for ten years.

[martin3801]

millions of individual memories. wish i'd been there more than once but at least i went. it's hard to imagine a club like it existing now in such a great city. for so many reasons. "think i could bring my mum and dad here" (?) 7:28- what the fuck?

hi-tec silver shadows and a grey suit!! gwaan tony !!

The black DJ you see is Hewan Clarke and the DJ booth is in the corner of the stage. It was later moved to the balcony.

[CrikeySpiders]

In early '90, I queued up for at least two hours. The doormen were crap at that point and by the time I got to the front, the reason for the delays was carried out on a stretcher. A black lad had been stabbed.

A few ruined for the many. Very sad. But still, there aren't that many clubs that can boast a lifespan of fifteen years. There's been nothing like it in Manchester since. Corporate drinking dens and samey music everywhere.

[CrikeySpiders]

I went from '85. Saturdays were a mix of indie, Motown, early hip-hop, funk and early house. It was both low key and hip I thought. Listening to the different accents in the queue outside, especially Southerners. When acid house kicked in in the summer of '88 it all changed. The queues got bigger, the entrance fee gradually increased, bands and events became fewer and fewer and the 'slacked up' scallies that used to walk past to the Ritz, started to go. That's when it got deggy...that and drugs.

I went to the Hac from 89-93. They were special night then. It`s was just a pity that the gangs from Salford and Chet. Hill ruined it for everyone.

[talktal]

at 8:05 can anyone tell me what track is playing?

[Loshpot]

What a great documentary. The thing I love when I watch this is that the Hacienda looks so pristine and fresh - like the people in there. What followed was the birth of acid house and clubbing into the nineties. Fucking hell, I sound old!

[cbalz]

Dirty Talk Klein / MBO

[hypercatjohn]

It breaks my heart to think Tony is dead, what a guy, thanks for this video, I met him very very briefly once, but I had more respect for him than anyone in music. RIP Sir Manchester!

[discocircus]

[hypercatjohn]

anybody know the name of the tune at the end? i recognise it but i cant think what it is! i must know!

[ACRTGATB]

The track they're all dancing to at the end is Klein & MBO - 'Dirty Talk'...it's on a Hac compilation called Viva Hacienda.

A Certain Ratio's album 'I'd Like to See You Again' is used throughout as well.

[hypercatjohn]
