Can someone please help. I left a post regarding Asylum two nights ago and it has since disappeared! The only thing I can think of why is that I briefly described what happened on the last night in 94. Sure thats not new news.
I am sure the Re-Connected gig which didn't go ahead was the clean cut version we all wanted.

When i got in the last of the DJ's were just leggin it after being told by the garda it wasnt going ahead & if they did they would shut it down.....was getting a great feeling buzzin around by myself with no tunes on but very dissapointed.Then MICK WALSH fair play to him said he wasnt legging it & had all the gear set up started bangin them out (will up the video soon of the very start) After that it was just F***** brilliant hearing tunes like POSITIVE EDUCATION & NARCOTIC INFLUENCE for the brief time it was on.....After MICK started up he left a record playing then went out & killed all the lights to leave all the coloured lights on & then pumped out the smoke machine (mate of mine got some good film from the back of the dancefloor for this) Was buzzin for about a half hour right in front of the speakers that were at least 7 foot tall at the front of the dancefloor in the smoke & lights hearing the roars out of everyone there.....COME OOOOOOOON OH YEEEEEE!!!!!! Unfortunatley after about two hours in the place i was upstairs near the entrance doors just at the front of the second floor talking to a few sound heads & the Garda literally swarmed in in a flash & persuaded us to leave in lets say quite an enthusiastic & direct manner if you know what i mean:mad: Any way i will put together the Video i got with a couple of my mates stuff & see if i can make a decent Vid to watch after a bit of editing & effects are added;) Keep an eye out for CAF'S video cause he got a lot more & better quality stuff from a cam corder:D Sorry to all the lads who didnt get to this gig but who knows what the future holds......as CAF says on the credits on the end of his videos " KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN "

Theres no way that the Guards were ever going to allow this type of party to go ahead. People arriving with Vodka and Bags of Cans for an all night rave slap bang in the middle of the City.

Its a pity though because it would have been some night and there wouldn't have been any trouble. Unless somebody can get some sort of Licence to get the Asylum opened its pointless going to all the trouble of trying to put this type of event on.

But my god what a night it would be if somebody could get the place opened legally even for the odd night hear and there. Sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. We live in hope.

13-05-2008 11:13PM

The only way it would ever go ahead is ,a loophole found somewhere and full notice given to all parties.
There is also the insurance aspect of things and how hard it is to prove to people ,that your not voiding your policy.

I'm sure the guards could get a safety check done at any time and hold people responsible for that.

I dont think it is a matter if a license is granted based on the reputation the place will never leave behind......on the night it was explained to the garda that all fire exits were in order, there was more than adequate bottled water on the premises & that it was all with the approval of the owners but the guards said no matter what as soon as it gets going they would shut it down:mad:.......all they need is the permission from a superintendant that there is reasonable suspicion that there will be drugs or weapons on the premises & they would be able to stop it.....and in the eyes of the garda there is definetly a resonable suspicion of that seeing as the judge at the time it lost its license and people were up in court to do with the running of it called it " a den of iniquity "........................."INIQUITY" ---- "absence of moral or spiritual values" "the powers of darkness" "morally objectionable behavior"----......unfortunatley i dont think they will ever let it happen (if they know about it)......it would have to be really on the QT;)

it could have went ahead were it not for the freedom of information act posted all over the internet in fairness.

This site is used by how many members?

Yep it should never have even been hinted at online or invitations given out until the week before:mad: or a bogey date for after it was really going ahead made public & everyone just phoned the day or two before the gig......all great in hind sight:D

14-05-2008 06:22PM

I'm not being smart or anything but never mind hindsight.

The amount of people using the internet nowadays compared to 10 years ago is up a slight bit.

It's a bit annoying seeing people talk ****e, such as - the guards were never gonna let THIS happen. I remember the organiser ringing Sgt Elvis in Store St and being told, no, it has to be held at the Hellfire Club at minimum distance. When's the last time that a strong presence of all sorts was let go, in relation to this like? Not going to go into the ins and outs but you know yourself the elements involved from certain quarters attending this.

A few calls could have gained significant interest. Not as much as the way it was in fairness, but then again, look at the clientel that it attracted.

manufan · 14-05-2008 10:01PM

Jay D, it won't happen in the City Centre because of the amount of riff raff that will be sniffing around the place, drinking and generally breaching the peace. Unfortunately these type of events attract too many undesirables ****ing things up.

The laws have also long been updated regarding the hours that late night venues can stay open. I don't know if there is a way around it. If anybody is fully breached on licensing laws and what you can and can't do regarding setting up a late night dance venue i'd be interested to hear what must be in place before the police can't stop it happening.

Does the venue have to have a fully stocked Bar for instance?

Really, the organizers should have a meeting with the guards to determine exactly what regulations must be adhered to before the Asylum Doors can be opened. Trying to organize it on the quiet is going to rub the guards up the wrong way and they take great pleasure in stopping these events from happening. The whole point of it going ahead in the Asylum was because it would generate unbelievable interest so the organizers should organize it properly and leave no stone onturned so it does go ahead next time otherwise the City Centre (Asylum) as a venue is not happening.

i'd imagine it would have to serve food.

You do realise that part of the lincencing law is to provide food at a venue if you are serving alcohol?

I have to agree with ya there Derra.....i'll just Reminisce of the bad side of the place i remember to illustrate why the garda will always stop this & will never grant a licencse if it is legally sought.......i personally seen two people get stabbed in front of me over the course of 1994 in the place & the rave still going on till 8am.......before it was closed over the shooting i seen someone run into the second floor with some sort of sawn off rifle & blast a hole in the ceiling (whether this was a show of force to someone or just for the craic who knows) but it happened & the rave still went on till 8am.........a friend of a friend of mine collapsed downstairs & was just dragged out on to the street across from the place & the rave still went on till 8am.......i seen a girl go into labour on the second floor one night which means a heavily pregnant girl was allowed into the rave in the first place & the rave still went on till 8am.......i remember talking to a mate of mine from jobstown on the top floor near the windows one night & two youngfellas asking us for yokes who filled us in they were from oliver bond & as we could see were only 13 years old.......not to mention the very publicly displayed heroin heads injecting in the girls toilets downstairs & at the back of the top floor......." A DEN OF INIQUITY " is how it was described meaning......."absence of moral or spiritual values" "the powers of darkness" "morally objectionable behavior" this is the mind set of the authoritys when they finally put an end to the place. So on the historical record of the place which im sure the garda have a lot more storys along these lines than i can tell you i think it is obvious they will never grant a license.......but man aside from the badness there will never be anything that comes close to the ASYLUM experience on the bottom floor in full flight at 4-5am

Ye sure was EUPHORIA.....dont want to sound cheesy but when i was buzzin on the bottom floor i didnt feel like i was in a club in dublin city centre i felt like it was another place altogether...like another world or dimension & that we had found somthing that was truly unique & no body else could understand it unless they were really in that buzz...i would say it is the closest you could come to feeling touched by somthing bigger than your perceptions of the world...mind you there was a lot of DOTS consumed at the same time as DOVES back then:pac:...maybe that had an influence on my perceptions:D...but no matter what it was it was an experience to be held in me always & to be envied by anyone who never experienced it...Carl Cox was quoted years ago as saying " the asylum was the best underground rave experience he ever had "
