Your All Time Greatest Arms In The Air Pill Moment

[foo]

The other was singing Elgar's Give Unto The Lord (a fairly bombastic, if unmemorable piece) in a college chapel in Cambridge (I can't remenber which one) with a shit hot choir whilst ripped to the tits on a load of Methamphatamine. Summer 2002 that one I think. Much fun

ahem.

i notice unix and i didn't get an invite to hear you sing.

Hehe - very similar thing happened to me in Garlands one night...was prancing all over several podiums shoved together, and got to the end of them still dancing. Fell off but was swung around by the arm by a fast-thinking bunch of lovely people sharing my podium space, and they swung me back onto it - just did a kind of arc over the tops of people's heads, landed back and carried on dancin

ha

isn't it great that pill-heads are always so unbelieveably nice to each other.

my first thought about a hands in the air moment was that it would have been at trade. god knows i spent long enough there grinning like loon on the dancefloor

but heaven sticks in my mind. the new laser system in 1994 or so

lock up and positive feedback were the tunes that did it for me that night

 

[baldrick]

Headcharge at the Arches

those were the days had many pill moments at that place....

 

[ChrisFilter]

Oh, I dunno exactly... almost certainly at Escape from Samsara.

Orbital - snivilisation tour when they played in the round with all the equipment covered in strobes facing the crowd and first dropped the 'belinda carlisle moment' in Halcyon - awesome

i saw that tour. fucking awesome

My first moment in a dance club was the first time I went to a Banshee all nighter. A kid wearing a gas mask; inside it he had a wad of cotton wool soaked in poppers. He never took it off for hours, only to pour more poppers in. I soo hate poppers I still can't get my head round it.

This, but it was in Heaven, played by Mrs Wood and at the bit where it holds for a few seconds with that vocal and then starts to build again with that

WHOOMP - WHOOMP - WHOOMP

.... I thought I was going to cry.

kin hell that tune (DJ Misjah & DJ Tim - Access) take me back...just out of curiosity I have put it on and now my arm hairs are well and truly tingling.

ahem.

sorry - twas a long time ago and it didn't occur to me at the time - will you forgive me?

One year at Glastonbury (92/93/94 maybe), early morning after a night in what I only knew as 'the experimental sound field'. Since read it was Underworlds first gig but never verified. A fella was using the scaffolding as a drumkit and seriously lost it a few times throughout the night shouting at the crowd, really intense. In the morning they played 'We are Family' as the sun came up. I remember being completely among people I didn't know but absolutely buzzing my tits off knowing everyone was great.

That, and many times stood on stages at the PSV or the Hac while a random girl massaged my head with olbas oil/tiger balm.

Fuck I loved them days.

It was 1992 and I was in that field to. It was the night that Underworld were conceived. The mad bloke you're talking about was Karl Hyde I think. They were meant to stop playing at 2 but ended up carrying on all night. I remember them playing the whole of ahugeeverpulsating brain etc by The Orb with that beautiful bit with Minnie Ripperton singng Loving You and everyone in the field smiling at each other rushing their tits off.

Club UK circa 1994, 5am, Gayle San on the decks, our eyes met over the crowded dance floor, we smiled at each other

no.









of course. but let us know if you come to sing here again please? i'll bring me mam, she's partial to a bit of your kinda singing.

 

[sam/phallocrat]

of course I will (ps I just remembered that I haven't replied to your FB message about recordings yet - I am lax - will get onto it asap)

There was a great, if not exactly hands in the air, moment at the end of a Friday night at Fabric - Dave Clarke dropped the Sisters of Mercy's 'This Corrosion'. Everyone below a certain age looked a bit puzzled... everyone over that age went mental!

 

[Part 2]

SoM were regulalrly played at Back to Basics in Leeds, Floorshow, remixed as Floored by ALi Cooke (RIP).

A regular mental moment there was when he played ZZTop aswell, must ask my mate to sort me out them old tapes.

That's ace.
I used to rate him for that kind of caper but I've haven't heard of him in years. I'm old now eh?
