Come on, JP2, you’re contributing here long enough to know that you can’t post something like that. I don’t care from which horse’s mouth you got that particular story, the same rule applies – if it’s not reported publicly then it’s not to be broken as a story here. I would have thought that was clear by now. It’d help greatly, of course, if others didn’t post comments seeking to elicit this kind of inside information in the first place.

Hello I have skmething exciting to share! My parents used to go to the Limelight for Primal Vision Sundays all the time in the late 90s! Recently we found some old tapes that my Dad recorded from the Limelights live brodcasts on 100.7 from that time period. I along with my Dad are going to try and put these tape recordings on soundcloud for everyone to have a little flashback of what great music really is. My dad also has DJ Ians CD that he bought from him at the same time. It includes such artists like the Boomtang bkys and The Prodigy. Hopefully all goes well with these tapes and we can get them up. I’m sure for many of you it would be very exciting to here the old songs that were once played at the Lime light, DJ Ian’s voice again, and of course the Lime light ads.

Pictures of staff would be nice.
Doormen & the good looking cocktail girls……Gina the yummy blonde for example, would be nice to refresh golden memories of this little gem club of Toronto.

Sorry all.
The music was awesome but Dede was the reason I went there. We shared a lot of laughs, even more shooters and we snuck some kisses from time to time too. (Eat your heart out boys and girls) The management treated the patrons like kings and the sound system made my ears ring for days after. Looking back, I can honestly say that Dede made the club. Sorry Boris.

All comments in the string below have been republished from their original appearance on The Grid website. We're including the readers' comments as they add to these Then & Now stories. We look forward to reading new comments here as well. Junction Girl   I had forgotten about Sundays at Limelight – I used to go all the time! Back then the indie/britpop kids shared a few club nights with the goth crowd, but I remember this being the biggest one. So we’d get our set, and then we’d stand on the sidelines while the goths did their interpretive moves to Bauhaus etc.   12:29 am on March 5, 2013      Darren  Not one reference to the nickname of Slimelight? That’s all anyone called it.   4:06 pm on January 7, 2013      ck  i love this series and the history of these places, awesome in depth story telling, keep it up!   11:43 am on July 30, 2012      Drew   Iain McPherson was one of my College profs during my years at Durham College. That guy is the man. Great guy. Used to tell me tales of the golden ages when he was doing the Atlantis parties and flying into sets dressed as Darth Vader, in a helicopter. Now every time I talk to him he is off in New Zealand or Africa or somewhere climbing a mountain or doing a 500km bike ride. Iain taught me countless lessons as a prof and a boss. Great to read some mention of him in the Toronto history books because he is a legend in my eyes. Great article Denise! Loved the one about System Soundbar as well. That was my era and I was sad to see it go. Keep em coming! Cheers, Drew   10:19 pm on July 27, 2012        AK  Loved hearing that booooooming system as you walked down the stairs into the club. Always got you into the right frame of mind on arrival. So many great Wednesdays there in the summer.  Thx for posting the john e. mix Denise.   2:55 pm on July 27, 2012
