Over the years we have viewed dozens of "Final Night" videos from inside Mannequins. They vary in quality greatly but one thing they all share in common is that they were filmed from ground level on the dance floor. Many have distorted sound.
Now for the first time ever, DJ Ian McDaniel (USA) has posted on Vimeo raw footage he recorded that night! While he wanders outside the club a couple times, most of it was filmed inside Mannequins from the DJ booth. You'll clearly hear some of the wonderful music selections from that night played by DJ Peapod (USA) & DJ Dave Cannalte (USA). You'll hear the chant for "One More Song!" and you'll hear that final selection.
Mannequins then closed forever!
This video is not for the faint of heart. Watch it when you have the full 1 hour, 5 minutes to dedicate to it. See how the decision was made to go way beyond 2AM and play "one more song"; a decision apparently made when Peapod realized he couldn't be fired.
Mannequins fans will want to view this from this new perspective. For those that never went there, a few minutes watch will show you the amazing lighting that existed in this era before lasers; both the spot lights and the famous light wall.
Enjoy!
