Throwback videos.

benson Nice one. Just spotted me and a mate in one of them looking fresh as fuck 😂

As for the date, I think it was for Digger’s birthday?

BlainSA just watching these vids for a few seconds sent my heart racing ! it’s like a portal to a simpler, happier place. what nights they were ….

benson

BlainSA I have a memory of tenaglia giving him an hmv style record player. Which fits

But I don’t know when johns birthday is!

mjh

yeah great times. love that there are no mobile phones.

I remember a few horrific National Express coaches back to Oxford. Nasty Friday’s at work. God knows how I came through it all largely unscathed.

benson

mjh the x90 from traf square. Or worse walk to Victoria to get the Oxford tube.

Being a student meant the Friday thing was less of an issue.

I was at this, I think its the one where the special guest (DT) was not revealed until the day or something, by email.

I went on my own, so glad I did, was an amazing night. He kept playing the accapella from Green Velvet - Flash throughout the night, it worked so well.

Ended up dancing next to the fat lads from GU and they said he was doing a GU for them…which ended up being London. The liner notes have that detail about the record player gift for Digweed @benson

gcw
Yeah, it’s from the Bedrock party in 2000 before the Home gigs

benson

Dry-Tinder bugger. That means I might not have been there. First one I went to was October 2000

gcw

Ahh I didn’t realise DT played Heaven twice? I was at the one that was before GU17 which must have been the 2000 one.

Dry-Tinder

gcw no it’s the same one in the videos. He actually says in one of the videos that it is his first time playing Bedrock at Heaven. His videos are from 2000

a beady eye will spot the Global Underground banner in the back left of the videos 😉

BlainSA

Went from playing stuff like the Moonface remix of Cascades of Colour to Tilt - Angry Skies. Considerably better than when I saw him at Home.

BlainSA playing stuff like the Moonface remix of Cascades of Colour

A bit strange that he would have played the Moonface mix at the Bedrock night, but then stuck his edit of the Saffron mix on the London GU.

The Saffron mix is far superior anyway.

My dad sent me an email out of th eblue today about fatboy slim on the beach.

This was after the 2001 event, not the massive one:

https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/5147011.traders-fury-at-beach-party-clean-up/

Traders angry about the smashed bottles. My dad weighed in:

But Brighton and Hove City Council said it was satisfied with the clear up after Friday’s concert and only one or two small patches had been missed.

Cabinet councillor Ian Duncan said Channel 4 had paid for litter pickers to start work as soon as Fat Boy Slim left the stage and work through the night.

He said it was impossible to stop people bringing bottles but events like the Big Beach Boutique should continue because they were good news for the city.

He said: "This is what we are about, it is what people are increasingly saying Brighton and Hove is bloody good at.

“No way will I be apologetic for putting on things like this, it is what gives the city its high profile.”

He then went on to sign off the huge event in 2002. Good lad.

I know it’s not bedrock but it was still a massive massive event where I met loads of people. Still friends today.

Also not forgotten is Leeds Love parade of 2000. July 8th. It was proper mental. My mum lived just up the road and we walked to it and then had the time of our lives.

BlainSA

hugopal He played both remixes… And why would it be strange to play the Moonface remix?

benson
Great vids, proper going off 💪

hugopal

BlainSA He played both remixes… And why would it be strange to play the Moonface remix?

I didn’t say it was strange that he played the Moonface mix in and of itself, but rather that it would be strange if he put a different remix on his London GU to the one he played at the party which it was supposedly in part for.

But if he also played the Saffron mix at the party then it makes more sense.

It would be strange for him to play Moonface in the sense that this was just a club night where the music of said Moonface was extremely popular, with a few thousand people off their heads, having the time of their lives and Danny Tenaglia just should’ve thought fucking better of it in the moment, stroking his chin as he leaned into his bag, “25 years from now some absolute fuckwit will question the selection of this very track, maybe I should take a step back and really think about this.”
As he was thinking this, Hugo was at home watching the Blockbusters omnibus, shaking his head and tearing at the sides of the settee because Bob Holness said the word “Gorgonzola” wrong. These are all real facts.

Wow, that’s an awful lot of words and time to waste responding to a comment that was simply a slightly dim misinterpretation of what I had actually posted.

Talk about triggered.

benson

hugopal GU017 London was based on Home not this night.

hugopal Wow, that’s an awful lot of words and time to waste responding to a comment

Hugo, you’re not as bright as you think you are.

hugopal

LT42 your comment was completely misguided and pointless - if I ever bother to write a substantial post there’s at least a reason for it.

You’ve just mistaken what I wrote and got your knickers in a twist.
