your top 3 nights EVER in GUV main room + stories

I'm very interested to hear a lot of your top 3 nights in Guv Main room EVER, the more creative/ nostalgic of a story THE BETTER!


(1) Deep Dish G.U Guv Party (Dec.7th 2002)
- Wow, simply wow. 8/9 hours of Dish, starting with "Stay Gold" and hammering out "the Sound of Violence", "PQM - Are you Sleeping", "Only When I lose Myself", "Coldplay Clocks FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER" ETC ETC. This party solidified Toronto's World Class Clubbing status for me, and having the GU brand there helped to prove that. One of those nights that just blew your mind.



(2) Paul Van Dyk Guv 5 Year (Oct. 2001)
- Wasn't this a Wednesday? lol Probably still the best trance set I've ever heard in my life. Pro-ball from start to finish, PVD hammered that phazon so fucking hard. lol "Into the night" always stays fresh in mind. Just a night of total musical journey chaos, he turned on the magic like 15 times that night. hah I remember just being in total awe. Oh yeah my friends from Ottawa coming down for this also made for good times.



(3) Danny Howells (Feb. 15th 2003)
- This night was brought up in the Howells EM thread, and it really does go down in history for me. I think I can actually reference this night as one of the first time House really clicked with me. A new groove, a new vibe. Getting to hang out in the booth with him at the beginning of his set also makes this night a bit more magical for me. (thanks manda)


note:GUV MAIN ROOM ONLY

ps. the potential high magic meter on Saturday has inspired this thread, I'm hoping that Sander and Max will bring out the best in each other.

I was right behind the decks when he came walking through the crowd. The energy he brought to Decadence hasn't been matched since. Me and a random stranger - but fellow fan - were in awe.

The second time he came back to Guv for 9 year anniversary (i think it was nine year) the set-up was different and you couldn't get on the stage behind him....it was blocked off. The funny thing about that night was that same random stranger was there that night too in the very same spot. Too funny.

We were looking to recapture that vibe...unfortunately it didn't happen the second time around.

hmmmmmmmm ive had alot of crazy good nights in that room so im going to have to think about this one

BUT

yea seriously the first night that comes to mind is the I think pvd night in 2001

that night was so awesome on so many levels for me!

K holed on some couch. couldnt see anything didnt know what was going on. hearing people talking to me but don't know where its coming from. while im in this state, a friend felix walked by yelled out happy bday and shoved an automatic bumper up my nose. and kaboom! i dont remember anything else

hahaah fuuckker ^^^^^^ fucking guv adventures so random, so beautiful

I don't know what my top 3 are exactly. But my top 1, 100% hands down, March 13th, 2004 - Ferry Corsten

So many great things happened that made that night special - a lot of personal reasons that I'm not going to post on here. But what made that night so awesome was that Ferry was only scheduled to spin for 4 hours, and when Mark Oliver went to come on the decks Ferry just shook his head and was like "nu uh...I'm not finished!" We had no idea how long he was going to over his allotted set time...so the longer he played the better it got. He ended up staying on for an extra 4 hours and closing the place down. I don't think I'd ever danced so hard in my entire life.

I have an AMAZING picture from that night that I used as my wallpaper for a long time. It's on another computer though, I'll have to post it later.

i was there that wednesday night, my first pvd show ever. b/c it was on a wed night, there was plenty of room to dance on the floor, not like those sardine packed LoL nights. awesome, pvd in his prime. i think if i remember correctly he spun NuNRG-Dreamland & ForAnAngel as the encore songs?

the only thing i remember from that night is how RAMMED it was! some guy had one of those spinning light things that you can change the writing on, and changed it to say "Fire Code Violation!". i thought that was pretty fitting of the evening. but it was a good night once you got over the crowd.

I'm skeptical about "For An Angel", and even if he did it play it that wouldn't make it any more "magical" for me. Doesn't he play it in every set even today? lol lame.

If my memory serves me correct tho, the place emptied out FAST after he was done, and I THINK Mark Oliver played "Chem Bros - It Began in Afrika". The first time I heard that tune. I could be TOTALLY mixing up the nights tho, Ray can clear this up for me... hah

Wow that was a crazy night. I have never been so rammed in there, you could dance at all and it took you 45 mins to get from the patio to the bathroom in main room.

yeah, that PVD show was when we met Swamper and told him we thought he was some Asian guy.

mark defo played "it began in afrika" at the end of the night.

that was seriously a fucking awesome night. i remember completely freaking the fuck out cos mark played "xpander" right before pvd came on. and that was back when that was my fave track. le bless.

i also remember telling a friend that pvd was wearing "lederhosen" LOL. cos he was totally wearing leather pants. good grief.

i also remember pvd started one of his records at the wrong speed...could have been "for an angel". i also remember telling him "ich liebe dich" at the end of his set. good grief AGAIN.

that danny howells night was pretty awesome as well. seeing that he had saved my valentine from aria the night before was too cute! although i do remember it being stupid rammed, as usual. that may be the last time i had a good night in the guvernment main room.

can't think of any others, to be honest.

edit: i forgot. the smirnoff experience party in 2001 was total good times. i think it was on a thursday? nick warren played the WOW remix of james holden - "horizons" and i was tres happy. and john kelly (?) played some remix of the cult - "she sells sanctuary "and told my friend that guv was like a high school gymnasium or something.

probably the craziest shit I ever saw and heard was Freedom back in 2003 I believe when Mauro Picotto spun probably his finest set I have ever heard. I pounded it down for four hours straight to Picotto then left some friend to oliver closing and went to see Deep Dish close the Guvy, pretty sure it was them, my mind is getting old I apologize. I partied hard like no ones business until close at like 9 am.

We came out from a great night all sweaty and sketchy to find the Kool Haus's coat check outside and three of our friends who had been stuck in the Kool haus and had been waiting outside for us for almost three hours!! Apparently just after we left Kool Haus some idiot got way too high and was chased into the back area where he locked himself it Charles's office. before they could get in he was into the rafters and crawling through the rafters in the roof or KoolHaus. He crawled out and was hanging onto chains up in the roof of Kool haus while the party was going on!


Well they decided to shut everything down, stop marks set and kick everyone out and cut off the path to get into Guvy. So while we were havin the times of our lives in Guvy all this was going on and we had no idea! We thought they had left earlier. So we leave, go home have our sketchy morning and do our thing later to find out a few days later this guy who went nuts came with a friend of ours that we were there with.......good times, good times. I will always remember all the sketchy faces comin out of Guvy main room to that. Cops and firetrucks everywhere. Must have thought they were all busted.

mmmmmm difficult
I guess one had to be one of the big Smirnoff events , can't remeber who was playing --2 wasted

Second , the night A famous DJ and I (I will not mention his name ) decided it would be fun to powder our noses in every bathroom in the building (safely to say I no longer indulge)

And the 3rd would ahve to be my Birthday back in 2003 (I think LOL)
up in Skybar with Manzone and Strong and trying to convince a bouncer I was not smoking a J even though I clearly was

Sounds Like I had some serious over indulgence issues back then

i once partied with stereoprincess and jonjon for a pvd show in nyc, back when they both used to be trance crackers! true story!

haha you mean halo20

My top 3 parties ever in the Guv room were the same as Jon's except for one.

PvD 01, the 2nd time I saw him and just around when PoD 1 came out, he KILLED IT. I have a vid of him dropping For an Angel for an encore (30 second vid someone took).

Howells I couldn't agree more with because for the same reason as Jon, I finally 'got' house.

As for my third set in the Guv mainroom I'd say it was a Mauro Picotto set at one of the first May 24 parties there in 2002 as well I think (or was it 01?) All I know is that it was all access, dnb (aphrodite and dmc before that in KH) and then Mauro in the Guv mainroom, played all the classics: Komodo and a bunch of others.

Those 3 are tops for the Guv mainroom.

Honourable mention: The Smirnoff Experience 01 (one of the best corporately organized events I've been to in TO), that was awesome, funny thing is I ended up going solo b/c most people I knew weren't going, was going to meet up with a friend there and couldn't find them, ran into them randomly while switching rooms. I had a blast!

I wish all parties there now are like that.


P.S. Halo 20? Haha
You hear the info (and leaked track) about their upcoming album Jon?
