[QUOTE="Stanton, post: 846482, member: 19200"] What era of Gatecrasher did you go to? I didn't find that sort of tude when it was at the Wicker or The Adelphi but I can see where you're coming from when it was in the final venue in town in later years. The problem by that time - and this afflicted Ministry, Cream and all the big clubs - was that the scene had changed. The people in there were mostly people 'clubbing'. We're not talking about people well into the music, more like the usual townies who had moved into the club scene from the traditional nightclubs once things had got corporate and come out from the underground. And crucially - as you touched on - the drugs had changed - coke was on the scene. IMO it was coke that changed things - get a room full of several hundred people on coke and you're going to get a lot of confidence and egos clashing. Plus some paranoia from the seasoned users. And alcohol had arrived too. In later years I actually had far better nights at clubs which had no particular name. Little local places with an minor / unknown DJ. I had some great nights at Kikis in Sheffield, in Doncaster with a DJ who used to work in Track Records, and a memorable night I stumbed on in Falmouth in a boozer on the quayside where a local bloke with some brilliant tunes span for a few hours. By this time the big clubs had lost the plot. I remember going to B2B in later years for the first time and getting the same impression that you got from Crasher and being properly underwhelmed by the experience. [/QUOTE]
