My most memorable bad gig was years ago at a night in manchester,which had a mixed music policy of acid techno,hardtrance and hardcore techno.A guy called medicine man,resident for havok(acid techno night) was booked to play peaktime but couldnt make it for some reason or other,so i was asked to fill in.Great i thought,till i got there and discovered the majority of the crowd where gabba heads.Lets say, they werent to pleased when i came on at 12bells and the dropped the bpm to 145 from 220.
60 minutes of abuse follwed,with people shouting "Put some techno on!!"etc.etc. Yeah...that was a bad one.
