Did anyone see this? Quite nice the Madchester part kicking off with Stone Roses, then Mondays, then 808 State, followed by Gerald, mainly full length 'live' performances, mainly TOTP. Looks like 808 were filmed in a TV studio - The Other Side Of Midnight? During Pacific State it says "It is said that people crawled through the air shafts of the Hacienda to see them."
I'm unaware that 808 State ever played live at the Hac?

i did nt see it ,but was it that late show clip thats just appeared on you tube..?
We did play the Hac itwas some key 103 night on a sunday..probably 89.
just 2 tunes i think.
seem to remember playing with Gerald at the hac on one occasion again 89
during my puffer jacket under dungerees fashion phase.
but the air shaft story origenates at the 2nd Gmex gig.. I witnessed that,
kids dropping into the toilets through the air conditioning.
Theres an acid House doc that was put together in the mid 90s that might have surfaced recently..mostly London scene,but I did an interview way back in some pub on theoutskirts of london and i think they might have some footage of the rave in a quarry in ibiza that we did.
