You sure that wasn't 1997? We went to see May at some shitty bar that I thought was in Pontiac. They ended up clearing out all the tables in the whole place to make more room for people to dance. It had a downstairs hip hop area that I remember because it's the first time I saw somebody use a telephone handset as headphones. May ripped that place to shreds that night. Hawtin was there, I remember the door guy was really excited about it.
That Mills set was epic. Claude Young was supposed to spin that party, but he didn't even get started until the sun came up because Mills stayed on so long. That party also had the Surgeon, Traxx, and some other big names I think. Black Nation party, right? Dave Clarke was sick as hell at the Motor the night before.
For me it would have to be Acid Pimp at a Detor party in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Maybe not the greatest set ever, but it changed my life.
