We bailed after 2 but what a fantastic night that was. It was also nice to finally meet @Anselmi K

Struggling today but so worth it!

Great to hear UB40 / Don't Break My Heart before Harvey came on..

I'm sure Harvey played Angel (footsteps ) by Jeff Beck early doors..

 

[The Sun God]

Yeah that was Victor Rodriguez playing by the pool. Really nice mellow set

*Everyone was so (s)mashed. Been out of rave action for so long so I'd almost forgotten how intense it is. There was one guy at the back who looked a bit like Villalobos, totally ruined, one massive congealed ball of sweat. Viva Soundcloud, eh..

 

[andrewthemod_1978]

Yeah, there were a few lol. One guy dropped to the floor in front of us, near the Glory hole…

 

[Browny]

I was gunna mention this. Thats probs the most spangled crowd ive ever seen. The good thing - it was all xtc

I think we spoke to that guy outside after he tried to sit down on a seat that never existed next to us. We helped him back up and then had a good chat, turned out he was a GP from Belgium

 

[The Sun God]

Yeah, it was mostly old bastards like me who are largely retired but still go for it when needs must

 

[Browny]

Ps thats a heavy line up on offer tonight. Wish it was on a diff day as id be back with bells on

There was a bloke under the fan with us , must of been late 50’s/60’s absolutely off his chin really going for it

The best, the strongest!

You’ve out lasted me in akasha before so i can’t argue

 

[The Sun God]

This sounded absolutely amazing. Again, I thought it might be Jean Michel Jarre (something like Oxygene) but nowhere near. Actually classic italo from 80s (later ripped off by various cheesy rave producers)

I think this was when I was in the bar area, staring at that huge dangling propeller fan like a man discovering an oasis in the desert

 

[Amigo]

Excellent reporting from the front line everyone. Sounded epic.

YES!!! You're RIGHT. Sounded absolutely amazing on that system.

We were in the trenches but we do what we can

Yes 100%

 

[Anselmi K]

Who can tell which version was that Born To Be Wild cover, that came around 5:20.. Female vocalist, but was it Kim Wild?

 

[Bucko08]

How bad was the strobe in Freddie's for Harveys closing?

 

[fhmsparkle]

How bad was the strobe in Freddie's for Harveys closing?

Pretty bad the 10 minutes I dipped in and out of

 

[mr_why]

Pretty bad the 10 minutes I dipped in and out of

Yeah, kind of is my issue with that room too! Actually never thought that bad a few weeks back, but sometimes gets to me too much.
