    It's unfair to judge this set by todays standards of Ableton mixing and perfect production.

    It's like judging art on the quality of the painting, rather than on the content, and what it meant in the context of the era.

    This was ground breaking at the time, and dodgy mixes and tunes included, this will have been a better night than anything trancey any of us have been to recently :up:

    Word.

    It's once in a blue moon you see an atmosphere anything like it was during this set these days.

    Not that fussed about trance but this and many other nights I spent at early GC were the bollox. You had lots of non trance heads in the main room because it felt like something pretty special was going down.

    There were people around at the time doing spotless mixing (Sasha, Hardwick, Ornadel for example) but Scott's sets really personified what it was all about.

    I almost got nostalgic then. ;)

    the only reason those atmospheres were so massive was because of the amount of mudma in the cowies ;)

    I had a quick listen, the tracks we used to bum certainly havent aged very well :lol:

    Hey Rob, you didn't by any chance happen to record any other live Gatecrasher events like the Millenium Don Valley stadium event, would love to hear some more legendary sets from Hardwick and Bond back then ? :)

    I'm affraid not. I've lost so many live sets over the years, such a waste. :(

    Of the ones I recorded the one I've posted up here sums up Gatecrasher the best anyway imho, that is why I still have it a decade later. :)

    It would be great if anyone else posted some md recorded live sets from Bond and Hardwick over the years, doesn't even have to be from Gatecrasher as they tend to give a better representation of the club music in that period

    Listening to this set made me hunt through my collection of tapes from "back in the day" - and while it may not be as old as this, although there are plenty more, I found Judge Jules @ Promise (01.12.00)* :lol:

    Within the weeks surrounding that night Promise had Anthony Pappa, Hardwick and Scott Bond doing a 3hr set :love:

    *I think I may have to post it for the memories alone.....;)

    I've probs got about 150+ old mix's on tapes and about 2 thirds of them have been tranfered to mp3 format on my pc.

    When I can be arsed I'll try and put a list of the best ones together and if anyone has any specific mixes they want posted I'll see what I can do :)

    I'm definately going to post Sasha & Digweed (3hrs) Live @ Twilo, N.Y.C. - 1996 though :love:

    Pete Tong, John Digweed & Paul Bleasdale @ Tall Trees, Yarm (28.10.95) might go up too.....
