BRINGITON Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well as we're resurrecting the Bed thing I'll repeat what I said before about this - I was always distinctly underwhelmed by it. Had only TWO good nights in there - 1st time Sanchez came and played it really hard and tribal for a change then 1st time Lil Louie Vega played, other than that I thought it lacked atmosphere, those are the only two nights I saw it properly rockin'. Too many posers, not enough clubbers. However, I think my judgement was clouded as I'd been a Shindig regular before I moved here and that place is electric, unbeatable, so Bed was a let-down for me. Final nail in the coffin was the 2nd time Sanchez played - I turned up near midnight, paid £30 for the two of us to get in and found that Rog was playing his last tune - the cu nts didn't see it fit to advertise he was playing the early set from 10pm and would be f-ing off to GCSS at Lotherton Hall after his paltry 2hrs. I know that doesn't sit well with some folk (Mr Growns??? ) but I'm just telling it how I saw it. I was gutted to be honest as I'd always read great things and saw ace line-ups, then when I got here I thought it was a real disappointment.

I was gutted to be honest as I'd always read great things and saw ace line-ups, then when I got here I thought it was a real disappointment. Sanchez has always been a disappointment to me as well. The other year me and a mate paid I think it was about 20 quid each for an advertised "7 hour set." 7 Hours, yeah right more like 2. This is why I think that the age of the superclubs and big-name DJs is coming to an end, people are getting too ****ed off with paying big money just to see someone who happens to be a bit famous for whatever reason, and then to make it worse getting lied to on the flyers. Personally, Id much much rather go to a small place with a wicked atmosphere like shhh or (what was) the Fez than fork out shed loads on a mediocre night!

Tyranna Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I've seen Sanchez at SPIRIT in Dublin a year or two ago, and he was BRILLIANT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Fair play. The thing I had issue with was him not even playing a third of his advertised set after lots of people paid a lot of money and travelled far and wide to see him. But in fairness he was good whilst he was on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodown Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 sanchez is a superb dj. he can do anything, i'd say he was superior to morillo. when morillos on you are in a club to see morillo, sanchez makes it feel like a party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensonhedges Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 These sort of threads make me sad and happy at the same time - I had the absolute times of my life in clubs like Bed, Gatecrasher, Rise and The Arches, and now it's all gone. Sad cos I would like to do it all again, and happy cos I have the memories (It will always be with you, indeed). Good to know there's others on the forum who were there.
