Just come across this on youtube. I think this is from Tony Wilson's uncovered tape that was on the BBC documentary recently. Fascinating footage, looks like quite a lot of acid was dropped that night. :p

A bit disappointing the music has been dubbed over with the 94 remix of Yeke Yeke.

It actually looks quite clean and fresh in there. Never seen the place so bright. Not how I remember the Hac at all, although 88 was light years before my time. :cry: :S

My first night in there was February 94. I remember wearing a checked lacoste long sleave shirt, skin tight jeans and rockport (before every single chav got their hands on em) ;)

The embarassing thing was I took my shirt off on the back of the stage and lost it so spent the rest of the night freezing and shirtless. :$ :$ :$ :D :moonie:

Also was very lucky getting in that night. I looked about 14 and Damian Noonan was not having any of it. Luckily a ruckus broke outside on the road... I hurried over to the counter, paid and walked straight in. :mad:

The Hac was rammed that night, a complete lock out and the atmosphere was excellent. I even saw Steve Mcdonald from Coronation Street knocking out some shapes.

Good find - this footage was used in the recent Hac 25 yr anniversary exhibition at Urbis with a much different soundtrack!

Empty club always do. :p

I got a reply on you tube on my comment on the video. :D

YouTube - Manchester. The Hacienda Hot Night

You're right about the soundtrack.I was given the original video by Tony Wilson's son Oliver.It was aired on BBC 1's Inside Out with the original soundtrack.I edited and and added the Mori Kante track to give a better feel of what it was like when The Hacienda was really at it's best during this period. I worked at the club for over 14yrs eventually becoming the General Manager and I wanted to see if I could give the video a bit of the feeling I used to experience and for some unknown reason this particular version of Yeke Yeke sprang to mind.
Thanks for taking the time to reply and well spotted.

Cheers

The angles of those pics are descieving....looking down from those balconies they where high and the roof was miles lol.The memory I will always have is once you`d paid at the kiosk the butterflies in your stomach would be replaced by the bass in the speakers entering your whole body and almost ripping your chest out.....fantastic times for me..:thumbsup:

It was big enough :D
It was always rammed 89-91. Barely enough room to dance. I didn't go back in till about 96 for LTJ Bukem/Grooverider and it was full as anything I've been to in recent years - but it still seemed half empty.
Don't forget the wooden dancefloor only represented at most 50% of the area that you could dance on downstairs. It was sometimes a mission just to try and get on to it some nights. And then it was absolutely littered with empty Red Stripe cans :pixie:
