Mannequins Flashback

This next song from the Final Night at Mannequins is the one that everyone has to remember because it's the last song ever played there: Everybody's Free (To Feel Good) by Rozalla. You would think that the entire night was planned out and to a large extent it was but I'm told this song was not planned at all. You'll recall that on the previous night (Friday) when the last song of the evening was played they quickly turned on the lights and covered all the equipment. Despite the crowd, there was no encore. Such was the plan for Final Night too. The last song played had something to do with "Silence" and that was to be it. But the crowd refused to move! The crowd demanded more! Not a sole was leaving. After about 10 minutes the staff in the booth scrambled to find an encore song to play. Everybody's Free was played and it remains the song that defines our post-PI life. It's all up to us to find what makes us happy. It was close to 2:30am before the music ended and the club emptied out one last time. I'm told PI management chastised the booth staff for running late!

management can shove it. Some of the management was very rude to guests, even go so far as to say "what are you crying for, it's not like someone died" when people would leave with tears in their eyes. It just shows how much management just didn't, and still doesn't, understand why people loved PI
