A deep question for a mr.David Mancuso. Would you like to share.....

[Dj Pat]

Your most memorable moment behind the Turntables that put tears in your eyes?
Was it a song?
Was it that moment?
Was it the crowd?
Was it just a nerve that you couldnt hold back anymore?
Just wondering Dave.
Thanks!

There is not a party that goes by without experiencing the above for the reasons you indicated, and then some.

The fact that I have been given the opportunity to be in a "set and setting" where I am allowed to
"shed my ego" gracefully, is a gift that I cherish and humbles me.

To be able to "pass the pulse on to you" from the musician and their music, is love.

Sorry to bust in on David's thread, but I think it's a great question for any DJ.

It's happened to me a few times, but the most memnorable was one Martin Luther King Jr. party I did. I used to do a hip hop night on Sundays and it was always especially packed before a Monday holiday. As many DJs do, I started playing the I have a Dream speech over an instrumental. I started getting annoyed that the music was obscuring some of the words, so I stopped the record and just let the speech play. To my astonishment, the crowd was completely silent. Being in a club with 300-400 people and not hearing anything is really rare. Nobody said a word for the duration. At the end of the speech, the crowd gave out such a roar of celebration that I was just shocked . I mean, this was a very ghetto, thugged-out, grabbing-chicks-asses, not-moving-out-the-damn-way-for-nobody kinda crowd, and they screamed like Shelter on Sunday morning. I was uncontrollably driven to tears. I'll never forget it.

It seem that people at that club forgot the ways that the media show them how to be. They remember fighting for a cause that gave them the freedoms of today, that and that alone would put tears in my eyes.

I can remember being at a club and the dj played a gospel set....I swear I felt like I was flying, I was light headed and my feet were just moving and everytime the words "father" or "help us" were said I just felt like I was flying higher...then he followed up with some african drum sets and I literally thought I would pass out...I was truly spiritually moved as was alot of people that night....
