pkcRAISTLIN First Gig tonight! - Share your 1st gig horror stories!
hehehe,
Mid kill switch left on by previous DJ!
Fluff under the needle was so bad i had to stop the record
couldnt work out the dynamics of the PA and Monitor.
HAD A SHITLOAD OF FUN!!
hahaha the tracklist made no sense!!
Good luck dude!! Rock the shop!
Massive dirty bogan.
Both hands stop both TT's mid-mix.
yells "PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!"
/me shits myself.
My first gig was at PF#1 in the side room at Salt. They had the most complicated Allen & Heath mixer i have ever seen (a whole lot of extra stuff on it for live acts from what i remember).
Mixed in my first record relatively painlessly (although shaking lots and was very nervous).
After it was fully in, and the other record was finished i breathed a sigh of relief.
I turned to my left to start looking for my next record.
Next thing i know the needle races across the record.
It seems that when i turned to look for the next choon my headphone cable knocked the stylus off the record.
Lucky the room was filled with mainly my friends, as they all cheered me on once i got the music going again.
All i did was think to myself, well it can only be up hill from here!
Nothing too bad, having five of the best local DJs standing at the bar about 2m away from the DJ booth didn't do much for my nerves though.
haha let's go pkc, the time has arrived. Numark decks, dodgy mixer, have fun mate! and please don't play any nu-nrg. 
haha, thanks benjamin!!
its not even here yet and already the horror started- mixer with no split-cue! prob not a big deal for many, but when youve been practicing that way for 20 months, you kinda get used to it

f'n nirvana ffs!
dickheads requesting crap tunes
majorly hung over (incidentally my first one of those too), quite a few train wrecks, and couldnt quite get my head around anything, i often found myself touching the knobs on the mixer to look like i was doing something when i was thinking of about 100 different other things at once.
still had fun tho regardless and i wanna do it again
some annoying bitch kept pestering me to play songs with words in them
eventually I told her to go read a book

fuck this makes me laugh.
we want tracklists PKC!!!
what did you play.
horror stories.. well none that i can think of, of where shit majorly goes belly up.. however sometimes nerves get the better of you... i remember near the start of a 2hr slot i had, going into Mekka - Diamonback (angeles remix) things went orrealy messy.. it wasnt pretty.. but the night fixed itself..
however just nerves of trying to put needle on record and it slipping and running along sides of turntable. that happens abit.. either cos of nerves or too much booze at open dex
well done PKC... i'd like to say nerves go away, but i dont think they do!!
edit - horror moment remembered... playing records... mix going along sensationally, as im bringing in the new tune, thinking im impressing the international standing next to me... i take off my headphones to realise you cant hear shit through the speakers.. and im like WTF!!! then adam white leans over and goes, your mid switch is killed.. and then presses the button... BOOOOOM in comes the 2nd tune... omgzidie!

i hate to think how id feel playing a real proper \"people are actually in the room\" kinda gig my hands were shaking like a mofo. there were only 15-20 people there for 'epic trance cummins'
*wouldve been up in the euphoric clouds of hobart with that tracklist*
well done pkc
Yeah but it's no wonder you only had 15 listeners. You played trance at a house party.. . Fuck 'em, anyway. 'Slong as you had fun.
well done raistlin
