Shaun you would make a smashing grandad m8 - Can you imagine it- "back in my day....We took Es and blew the fucking lid off it " Hahahahah : )

Or more prosaically, the other reason why we are we still talking about The Hacienda, over 10 years after it closed might be because people keep making backward looking documentaries like this!

[fac191]

Why are we still talking about The Hac?

Because there hasn’t been a youth culture phenomenon since then.

The concept of DJs as performers began there. All dance music since then, from David Guetta to Wretch 32, can trace it's lineage back thru Grime, UK Garage, Jungle, Trance or Rave to The Hac DJs first importing music from Chicago, Detroit & NY.

Everything since has been evolution, rather than revolution.

There hasn't been another “Big Bang” moment, so we continue to focus on the last one.

Extremely interesting video. My only regret in life (bearing in mind I WAS a full-on clubber at that time)? Never travelling to the Hac. I did every other club bar this. I apologise.

.....smelly old vinyl....classic M.P........the only time which is important is then , it made the future...long live the Hac and all that partied there...fond memories...

[mjpollitt77]

Bring it back? Nice idea, but hugely unlikely to be a success. I imagine it would arrive with great hysteria that would fizzle out quicker than a Pat Karney speech (god, how boring was his speech at the Hac 15yr anniversary).

The majority of Hac loyal struggle to last until 12am today, nevermind a full non-stop weekend.

Nostalgia is great, but progress keeps the Manchester as a focal point and leader of popular youth culture.

We wouldn't want lots of abandoned mills back would we?
