The best 3 events ever in Adelaide!!

My poor memory just doesn't help me here so I will contribute three nights that I do happily recall ... seeing DJ Sasha at Synagogue in 94 was fun (and my first delicious night out as a young 'un); Naked Music 1 at Lion Arts two years ago had a beeyouutiful vibe (and b/c it was a day event) and I do recall Jeff Mills at Synergy many years ago as a damn good evening. .. ah, memory lane ;o)

independance day 2 at ent centre
sasha at origin 1992 - lerox
liquid with dream frequency

(in no particular order of course)

Wow!
I didn't realise there were so many old farts on this board or did you all just start young?

Old farts, I love it ;o)

I started doing the party thing as a 17 yo, had a LOT more energy then (although I am only 25 now!!).

Me too, Lotus. I know exactly what you mean about the energy thing!

Certain things do get better with age though

Totally agree with you there, Michaela ;o)

But not as old as some... hehe

My favourite 3 are

Origin - Lerox 92
Liquid NYE 92/93
Rave 3 - Limbo nightclub (now demolished)

I also thought that the Go - Imagineer parties over 4 weeks in the 1992 Fringe was also up there

Way too many parties but the old parties have most of my memories as it was so good back then

Mr S

what are they, im sick of searching for the good things.

hmm,

so many to choose from.......
in no particular order

a) Carl Cox @ the Ark
b) Ultraworld 4 @ the gaol
c) Lenny Dee and Sy @ heaven

hmm, most memorable maybe. I think i was the designated driver those particular nights.

very thoughtprovoking and scary (flashback!) question that mr mike. best organized (public & not forest events), welcome '90, DJ Paul + Prodigy at masonic hall, & a crazy foam party at the Ark, no recollection what year....+ all nomoss events

Maybe you should re-phrase that question to be:

"The best 3 events in Adelaide in the last 3 years!!

I wanna hear about what's been going on lately! ;-)

Carl Cox at The Ark.. went off....

Not as much as: The Ark Reunion...
I saw 'blue electricity on the dance floor that night!'

I had a great nite when Dave Seaman played at Nation 1999 (in the last three years for techboy

Even though the air-conditioning was really bad and they ran out of water half-way through the nite, I was there with my closest and best friends

I feel the same was about when Dave Seaman & Timo Maas played St Pauls last year for the Renaissance Tour.
Not much of a crowd (given it was the Thursday before Stardust) but I had a ball

Don't think I could name just 3... lots of awesome memories from all of these events listed below, that I performed at...

Cheers Dave TECHiONE (DAMC)

I have to totaly agree with you there Michaela. That was a great night apart from the intense heat and lack of water. I was there with my bestest friends also, and is definately one of the most memorable recent parties

Stop it!

Your all making me miss being involved with promoting some of the before mentioned parties.....

well Xylic you know that the oldies are the ones generally more experienced and who have honed their partying skills quite nicely

1. UR at the Old Lion 1992. Shut down by the cops very early because it was some political movement that was going to start a riot... or was it the noise??

2. Metro NYE 92/93 - Same night as Liquid at Le Rox. Go the Carrot Squad.

3. Jigsaw 94(?) - I just remember HMC playing Seawolf and Nocturbulous Behaviour.

Any nights at Underworld or Future. The Kool Aid party at Metro was not normal(!). The opening night of the Saturday at Disco with HMC playing and the Hard Yakka fashion parade - the girl with the metal plates and the grinder, don't try that at home.

The night of the raid at the Crown & Sceptre, when HMC played even harder and harder whilst the lights were on, the rooms were locked down and the cops went to work.

The orange drums at Toxic and of course Claude Young.

The Dirty House party at Gekko's for the launch of one of their EP's.

Any Spin The Bottle.

Head now officially hurts. Going to bed.

UR at the OLD LION... was not that busy.. I think it was one of Centrals first shows... It was an expensive ticket... (for the day)

But what a great show!! The big flashing U / R / U / R lighting rig... really rocked

Yeah, it was. However it was UR on their Method Of Force tour.

The hard, spanking sounds of UR back in the day was techno.


...Oh I think Jigsaw was 93 as well..

UR at the Lion was great.. until the cops closed it down!

Jigsaw was Easter Saturday 1993... can you belive it was 9 years ago

Yes, it's been too long agreed.

I had my birthday at the UR gig. I think I did a Pulse gig before hand that night.

Oh the memories of being way young and not having to worry about ID.

Pulse....the Dom Polski shows when they we're running fortnightly...
Question: is total euphoria still running?

From memory, this particular one was at St. Pauls.

I can thank them for my first DJ gig. Look where it went wrong.

Young St Carpark... errgh I had the flu that night and didn't stay long. Never been impressed by Carl Cox anyway (that's my opinion, so don't get on your high horses!).

Waxworks @ St.Pauls June 2001
Interlude by Goa Central @ The Irish Club Nov 2000
Adrenlin with Kevin Energy @ St. Pauls Sept(?) 2001

These were my favorite parties because they contained all the right ingrediants
Great venue, great friends in the right mood, the music i wanted to hear at that time and also because something awe inspiring happened on each night.

It's hard to quantify the 3 best events, so I'll go with best memories:

Cam playing Fridays in the basement under Tribe Cafe (Now Big Star Rundle St).

Beastie Boys first gig at the Old Lion, then straight to see Kevin Saunderson at the big ticket (UR played an un-advertised support and rocked it, much more than at the Old Lion) - what an amazing night of awsome musik!!

First Imagineer Party at the old Lion Arts Centre Warehouse (now demolished) - hey I was young and off chops!!!

Plus some great nights at Metro and (I'm biased) Check the Technique 3 at Cargo, with Mark Walton - that night really got people dancing to Hip Hop again.
