Slightly recovered from the Remember the Party Celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the Trocadero Transfer event on Sunday, October 7, 2007 here in San Francisco. WOW!!! Over a thousand people showed up to our little party! One of our producers noticed the line went down the block at one point. Medium Rare Music sold out of all the tickets they were selling for us a day early. Online sales sold at a rate of speed we've never seen before!
Lots of people wanted to celebrate the grand history of the Troc! We even had the organizers from the Love Parade Parties in NYC and the One Night Only Parties in Los Angeles honor us by flying in for the Troc's 30th Anniversary. I saw legendary DJs, Lary Sanders, Steve Fabus (who also spun at Troc) and Paul Goodyear (more about him later!). Jerry just told me that world reknowned DJ, Tony Moran, was at our Event (which is soooo awesome!)!!! DJ Phillip Mezza also traveled from half way across the world to attend our Event (we are so flattered!)
Everybody wanted to party just like we did during Troc's peak years. In my opinion, our incredible DJ, Jerry Bonham, and our fabulous lighting team recreated the joy and excitement of a Troc Party perfectly!
Jerry played a TEN hour set of authentic Trocadero disco from the 1970s to the early 1980s. I'll post this terrific list in a bit. However, before you read his playlist, I want to invite you to experience his magic with a 3 song set in an 11 plus minute video clip of the party here on my MySpace page! Scroll down about half way and you'll see the clip on the right hand side next to a slideshow of photos I took from the evening. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the mix between the 2nd and 3rd song! What a beautiful combination that I never dreamed would mix together so flawlessly.
Okay, when you're done, come back and take a peak at the Playlist!
