What events/gigs have you bought tickets for?

Wally only if you can find a tardis that will take you back to the late 90’s

alistair Got a bag of 10 ‘blue punisher’ discos in the car at the mo. They might do the trick?

alistair It’s a Leo, should be a great laugh

Sactly!

Wally I definitely wouldn’t bother.

Wally

Along_the_Wire Is this G’s patented family own brand cynicism or are you saying he’s just shite these days?

Wally I’d avoid. New trance is just wank. If you want to hear good trance you should have gone to see a techno DJ two years ago. Now it’s too late with the latest trend in techno being pretty much straight up gabber.

Wally I think’s we’re educated enough in prog and techno to give trance a massive swerve

PVD has always been a very good DJ. Whether we like the music he is playing doesn’t change that fact

Along_the_Wire

alistair The music is the most important component, surely?

Dry-Tinder

Paul van Dyk is appalling. He went through a brief period of being good, however his sets are completely incoherent. There is a great chapter on Paul van Dyk in Dave Haslam’s Adventures on the Wheels of Steel book and he pretty much said the same thing.

His best moment was this, it has been downhill since then.

Dry-Tinder I’ve always wanted to know what Dave Haslam thought of PVD…😂
As much a reflection of changing tastes, I haven’t seen him for 23 years but he rocked Gatecrasher in a way Oakie never could and his live EM at Turnmills (which I went to) was top drawer

Dan

Dry-Tinder I saw him in 94 in Hanover and he was playing floaty progressive stuff and decent minimal techno. Fast forward to 2000 and it’s Turbocheese.

It wasn’t what he thought of him, it was what he observed. Dave accompanied him on a series of gigs in the UK for the book. He highlighted that he didn’t know his records and would put the wrong side on on occasions. I always found his sets to be all over the place. Dave, also did a chapter on Sasha, which was slightly more flattering.

Loved big Dave for a few years in Mcr.

Just bought the book, thanks for reminding me about it 👍

It was all over for him when the Goat Crusher Kids got hold of him. I went to one of the legendary 6 hour sets in 1999 there and it was all crash, bang, wallop. We are aliiiiiiiiiiiiive……….

Phil-McRackin

First time I snogged my current partner was at Gods Kitchen while PVD was on so he has a lot to answer for. To be fair we were absolutely spannered.

alistair

Phil-McRackin Nice, was for an angel playing?

Phil-McRackin

alistair it was around the time that got re-released so probably. She did used to say it was ‘our song’ but I kept reminding her it was a bit shit and she gave up.

Dan

Dry-Tinder Everyone has their price.

Loved Avenue back in the day.

Dry-Tinder

Dan
Avenue (of stars) was a much earlier track of his. Digweed, was playing it in 1997

mono-stereo

Dan Great tune back in the day.
