What exact street was the Asylum on? I know it was off O'Connell St but where exactly? And what is there now?

Edit: Never mind, I see from the first page that it was on Sackville Place. Still curious as to know what exact premises though?

theasylumkey; Is that video you uploaded only suppose to go for 8minutes per part. Seems an awful lot of MB's for 8 minutes of video or is winamp actin the ballix?

It's
18.39 for the first part and 19.13 for the second part. I couldn't play it through quicktime or VLC so eneded up burning it to DVD.

Cheers again Asylumkey brings back some memories even if it was very limited in it's scope must have been filmed very early in the night cause i never remember the asylum being that empty but it wasn't staged.

Could be winamp actin the PR**K video is 38mins long in total....could be megaupload.com aswell only allows limited downloads in 24 hours (didnt know this until i had it uploaded) if you have all the MB's down try downloading the videolan player for free....link is in the post with video.

This footage is 100% genuine but was taken FEB 92.....lot of ravers still dedicated to the OLYMPIC/SIDES at that time myself included.....didnt discover ASYLUM until summer 93 & never went back:D

Cheers lads, think Ill stick it on dvd.

I know it's genuine by one of the interactions as two guys walk past each other but i'd say it was still shot very early in the night. Don't think i ever went in before 1 o'clock anyways usually up around sides or abrekebabera getting ready if ya know what i mean. Didn't experienece the place myself till around october 93 so would have no frame of reference for how busy it would have been in the early days.

my head is done in stephen trying to remember the year i first went to the asylum.still trying to figure out if it was 92 or 93.don't think the first coulpe of nites i was in there were the allnighters that it eventually became.i know a couple of lads i went to school had started to attend the olympic while we were still in school.so i think i may still have been in school myself the first and second time i attended the asylum.

now weather or not it was 92 or 03 i'm still not sure.we did our leaving in 93,but i think it was b4 that.i'm thinking it was stephan's nite 92,if at all it was open that nite.and from what i can remember the first 2 nites we attended it was'nt that busy.

see we used to go to the apartments,and i'm sure that was 91/92.heard about the asylum and thought we'd give it a go.we only went twice in the early days because it was'nt that busy and ya had less of a chance of getting a bird,was much easier in the apartments.:D

another thing that sticks in my mind about my first time in the asylum(and i'm probably going of me head here)but i'm sure that the decks were just set up on a table on the dance floor,and ya could dance right beside the lads while they were spinning.i'm sure warren k was on that nite as i have a vision of a dj with long hair.i also remember that the music from the middle floor was just relayed tru speakers to the top floor,so the music on the middle floor and top was the same.(still waiting for somebody else to confirm this for me)and no i was'nt halucinating as we did'nt even do any spark plugs.:eek:

so after the first 2 nites in there we did'nt go back for a good while,possibly 8/9 months till it picked up and the allnighters started.any one know exactly when they did start.all a bit hazy really.:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

Sorry man somebody must have spiked you with DOTS!!!!!:eek: there was no sounds on the middle floor....it was just for skagging out & even having a drink if that was your buzz (remember bringing in 2 litres once & 4 of us being let in the other door on the front by a bouncer called gerry for a price) And the DJ box was at the front of the bottom floor by the stairs up to the second floor & was behind BARS (presumably to keep the patients of the ASYLUM out:D). Just for more indulgence in this post there was also a big Luminous orange budda painted on the wall after you came down the stairs from paying on the wall of the second part of the bottom floor away from the DJ box.....And camoulflage netting over the speakers (you can see that once or twice in the video i posted). On the second floor at the end of the far wall before you went out to the stairs to the third floor there was a painting of the ASYLUM baby in straight jacket (like the one on the flyer in my posts in NI Oldskoll) & over it a quote " 'ASYLUM' A SAFE SANCTUARY FOR THE INSANE " thats why i scrolled that across the end of the ASYLUM vid i posted:D. The top floor was bare walls with the roof trusses exposed...i remember the first time i heard DREAMS by quench was on the top floor & it was bright outside because i think i saw daylight between where the roof met the wall shining through a little gap (maybe i was off my head...lot of DOTS were consumed back then with everything else). The last thing i'll say because i dont bore ye,:( everyone knows the tune 'FOR WHAT YOU DREAM OF' by 'BEDROCK' when we were buzzin in the ASYLUM we thought it said 'ASYLUM BABIES' where it said 'SIGN OF AGES' & thought somebody had made the tune for the ASYLUM so next time you hear that tune imagine you are back on the bottom floor of the ASYLUM and listen to the words putting 'ASYLUM BABIES' in where it should & imagine it was made for all the ASYLUM ravers exclusivley (it still gives me a shiver):D Sorry for boring you:mad:

used to always get that with tunes i heard when i was off my nut. Thought for ages the girl on sonero - alchamey was saying I'm on E and thought how appropriate lol

Ace my memory for dates and **** is absolutley shot too much excess over the years but as far as I remember the all nighters had started by the time i found the Asylum.

yeah remember the were the dj box was alright.i'm just thinking was it used from the word go.when exactly did the place open.cause i remember (as i've said we used to go to the apartments)the first coulple of nites in the asylum there were a few familiar faces from the apartmentds there.these were blokes who used to frequent the apartments and who knew all the new dances,all the new moves if ya get me.also as i've said b4 i reckon my first time in the asyluim was back in 92 possibly just after it opened.now i could be way off the mark.when was the first time you entered the place.was it from the begining.might clear up a few things that have been bugging me a bit for a while now.:D

Sorry man follow you now...didnt drag myself away from the OLYMPIC until summer 93 to the ASYLUM but in the video i posted most of the footage is taken on the bottom floor on the second half of it during the tune YOUNG BRAVES & it looks like the DJ box was concealed then (the direction the camera is pointing was towards the DJ box) & that was filmed in FEB 92 hope this de bugs a few things for ya:D
