The Playlist for Remember the Party 5!

[keefelc]

Wanna know what Jerry Bonham played us yesterday (October 8th, 2006) at Remember the Party 5, the most recent Trocadero Transfer reunion party? A set of smooth and warm Trocadero groove oriented disco classics. The party proved there's a definite demand for these wonderful songs to be played in a big club setting. I don't think I've seen this big of a crowd since the RtP events have started. More details later. In the interim, here's Jerry's incredible playlist (and yes Remicks, you missed Marvin Gaye!).

WOW!!! What a party that must have been!!! Great list leaning towards the R&B stuff I sooooooooooooooooooo love. Wouldn't ya know I'd miss this one!!!:roll: He played "Seabiscuit In The Fifth"!!!!

And all that 74-75-76 stuff!!! "Young Hearts Run Free"!!!! Candi & Barry & Lou --oh my!!!

And "La Bamba" & "This Time Baby"!!! FINALLY!!!!

[keefelc]

Mark, I tried hinting that you, of all people, needed to be here for this party. Remember I wrote about a small party at the Stud where Jerry gave us a little teeny weeny preview of what we might expect? I knew this party would be right up your alley! We were blown away from Jerry's set at the Stud, so you can imagine how we felt this past Sunday night. Just amazing that man's talent!

Of course, Mark, I thought of you when Jerry played "Cocomotion." :lol: Hey! It sounded so good!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, we had 2 PORN stars at the party from Raging Stallion Studios!!! They were there to promote Midori, one of our sponsors for the evening, by passing out t-shirts and glow bracelets. JeffH told me one was Derrick Hanson, but he couldn't remember the other guy. Jeff apparently knew Derrick because they were talking to each other on the second floor. The guy was trying to get rid of the t-shirts and asked if he should throw them off the balcony. He did and of course he hit some poor dancer in the head with the first shirt! I remembered wondering why people were throwing their shirts around the dance floor. :-D

I'll be back to report on some of the high points of the evening a little later. Also, I have some video clips that I may post on YouTube.

[markydefad]

Keefe, I had no idea what a theme titled "The Groove" meant... it coulda been Lime meets Cerrone meets Tantra for all I knew! He definitely played some gems-- but no Donna Summer at all??? Ain't she gotta groove??? "Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger)" woulda fit.

Ohhhh and Raging Stallion porn stars too!!!! My personal faves.

[remicks]

I know what you mean Marky .... ... when the promo music was Teena Marie ....I immediately expected a RICK JAMES or two along the way .... Parliament's FLASHLIGHT perhaps ...... BRICKHOUSE ( or GIMME MY MULE ) etc. ..... more of a Quinny night ....
Ohhh ...maybe Fatback's DO THE BUS STOP !!
and hopefully ........ Marvin Gaye's GOT TO GIVE IT UP (bingo! )
Isn't disco wonderful ......soooo much great music to work off of 8-)8-) . Just look at that list .8-)
Keefelc ....... come on now .... the time has come ....MORE of these parties ... much more often !!!!

The Man I Love (the lost mix) – Westside Strutters

This is now the official theme song of Congressional pages.

"Someday he'll come along, the man I love and he'll be thick and long, the man I love."

[Eman]

Wow sounds like a really fun night especially with all that great music. Oh well maybe next time...wish I knew earlier....

[nrgbeat]

That song "Tropical Paradise" is a new one for me. Is it an instrumental?

[JussiK]

yes indeed, we need info on that track "Tropical Paradise", please. "Spring Rain", "Love Machine", "Quiet Village" and "Summer Love Theme"...the lux levels in people's eyes must have been intense.

[keefelc]

Why am I awake and on the Forum at 3 am in the morning??? :roll:

Oh well, since I am, I'll quickly answer some of your questions.

1. Mark and Remicks, we struggled trying to explain the theme in just a few quick words. We thought the phrase "a Trocadero Disco Groove" was the catchiest for the ads. Then we tried our best to explain in the mass Emails and on the website without, of course, giving away the surprises for the evening. Not an easy task!

2. Mark, guess where the lost mix of "The Man I Love" came from that Jerry used for the evening? It came from Michael Neumann (for those of you who don't know about Aloha Records, he was one of the original buyers who was instrumental in getting the store into selling dance imports - we called him the "siren of sound")! Michael had made me a reel to reel tape of rare mixes. One day I was showing the tape to Jerry and we discovered Michael put a remix of the song by Roy Thode that Jerry had been searching for the acetate for quite some time.

3. Eman, you can sign up to be notified of future RtP events at the www.remembertheparty.com website!

5. Nrg & Jussi, take a peek at the B side of the 12" of Julius Green's remake of "Rock Your Baby." I had to ask about the song too!:D There's one more song you folks won't know because it's been unreleased for over 20 years! Can you spot it??

Wow that is a fantastic selection of tracks isn't it? I so wish I lived near San Francisco! I notice that Fever was mixed into Slick; this is so weird 'cos one of the few good mixes I've ever done (i.e. not a train crash )was last week on my 'wheels of steel' (don't laugh!) & it was with these 2 tracks - they synch together so well.:-P You feel so good when you achieve a good mix for the first time.

[markydefad]
