People can dance how the want but I don't quite agree that it is better this way. When everyone's facing the same way, we're like a big wave, all one type of feeling, us against the DJs mad beats hitting our faces. Here everyone is chilling on their own, which is super sick but also seems like people don't know where to face and it looks all jumbled. I dunno it feels weird a bit.
@@forthehood7466 yeah they look a bit lost. The dancefloor needs a energy focuser, the dj is that conduit! Being one myself, i felt it my duty to help amp up the crowd and get everyone on the same page so to speak. I dont like watching djs who dont engage the crowd at all. U dont have to be doing a jesus christ pose all the time, but giving back some love and energy goes a long way. However poeple shouldnt be weirded out when faced by others either, which i find these days when im on the dancefloor rather than behind the dex. Sad. Both have there up sides ...and down i spose. 😊 wish i was there to throw some light and love (...and focus). i came to this country for the club and music scene, we didnt have raves yet in South Africa like this.
I read the comments about time travel and wishes, and somewhat have a nosgaltic cry. I'm in this video @ 0:14, 4:29, 6:54, 7:45, 8:14, 8:36. Blonde bob haired guy in the white Smiths Tshirt. I'm now 51.
This was back in the days when people were out to dance. Not to pose at the bar, not to take pictures to put online. People were out for the dancing. What a great era.
Has it ever crossed your mind that some people take pics and vids as personal mementos so they can preserve the memory? Not everyone uses social media 🙄
@@ED-XCI You're absolutely right. I have not dedicated my life to the scientific study of selfies. Therefore, I am not qualified to comment on such complex topics. You have exceptional perception. You should work for the CIA!!
they still do and the events are still happening they are called raves. unfortunately they have been severely reduced by the police and property all getting bought up
The fact that the DJ's beat matched and mixed on Vinyl records all by ear, and not a pre recorded set like the dj's of today is what makes these parties so amazing!
The word vinyl isn't a proper noun or place name or at the start of the sentence so it doesn't need an incorrect upper-case v. DJs* of today, no apostrophe saying DJ is of today.
No mystery grinders either haha everyone was so respectful considering we were all so off it. No alcohol for a period too, the staff must have thought it was some kind of very friendly Christian gathering, until they spoke to one of us trying to buy water
Best days off our lives wee just didn’t give a shit the music the beat and non stop raving on the dance floor no one can forget these days my heart is still beating hard watching this ❤
I go to Duffy’s every couple of months , acknowledge the DJ & dance my a$$ off by myself…2 hrs drinking water & lemon & buy a drink f t DJ. I b the only one dancing & DGAF! while the DJ is doing his thing. Duffy’s in Miami, Florida…DJ THURS-Sunday over looking the INTERCOSTAL…NYC to Miami 20 yrs ago & STILL LOVING IT❤❤❤❤❤ ✌🏾
@@TheGreenyRiotthat even made me feel old, before that we didn't have to give a crap about anything tech until we cranked on the tv or a phone call, lol just joking around friend
I was there. Now 50 years old, a grandfather with my own business. Still listen to the tunes and now my kids are all grown up. Myself and my wife who i met at a rave way back then have just started going out again to old skool reunions. We dont indulge in the chemical side of things no more but its these days which made us and am so glad we didnt have social media back then. Life back then was alot less complicated...

This was Energy Dance 89 at Raydon Airfield, Suffolk on September 23, 1989. Charity event put on in aid of the marchioness disaster where all profits were given to the Thames tragedy fund. The event was organised by Tin Tin and Jeremy Taylor , initially it was supposed to be held in Southark Park London but due to pressure from the local council the venue got cancelled at the last minute, the event was then moved on to several other locations which were also stopped and the party finally ended up in an aircraft hanger at Raydon Airfield, Ipswich, Suffolk at dawn on Sunday 24th September 1989. 15000+ people followed in convoy's to attend the party, causing travel chaos along the way. DJ's were Richie Rich, Paul Trouble Anderson, Little Louis Vega, Judge Jules, Paul Oakenfold, Jumping Jack Frost, Evil Eddie Richards, Frankie Bones & Fabio.
@Mr Conutus Cognitive dissonance much? You say this is not about belief and then go on to mention belief multiple times in the rest of your comment... Yeah, deuces bro.
what's up with the phones ? .. around that time there were no cell phones ... I still watch a lot of Boiler Room videos were people are just dancing .. it's up to the deejay ..if he is good .. people dance .. if he is just a poser doing nothing spectular .. people grab their phones
Amazing thing is, nobody is showing off, they just look like ordinary people enjoying the atmosphere, just being themselves. Nice to see lots of black and white people mixing, no trouble. Everyone happy. I remember the 80s being like this, people were so much nicer to be around. Nowadays everyone is image obsessed and arrogant, all about me me me, the labels on my clothes, the car I drive (you mean lease LOL) and posting everything about themselves on Instagram or Facebook etc. People have such a horrible self important attitude these days with no time for anyone else. Social media has turned everyone into sickening attention seekers. Get me a time machine please.
Eric Cowan yeah you right bro it’s true you know I was thinking that our people are snobs and states are better I’ve traveled and understood our youth is massive in its positivity . Love uk just off the rave six story building old street packed up Bro , dogs , police ain’t no hatred just literally can live off your years like that . In London most of the clubs being on the shut down more than half in a mere decade you get me People penned up like literally do we have a choice yes we do and we fighting gentrification by rocking and whacking this places
Eric Cowan no Bro I’m for real anytime you in London go to rave parties bro you’ll make lifetime friends and might will stay here altogether I knew some geezer he moved oout from states found a British girl , from now on beanies on a toast and good warm up at the dance floor
So true and no sjw crap and people getting offended by every little thing oh and only two genders now we have people identifying themselves as garden chairs and all sorts.
Naveed Khan bro come on whr do u live ? What county bruff in London it’s still s thing nicest people no one gets offended , pure plur who seeks thou finds

Which is what it’s all about! It’s the more in the know parties that I prefer. You know the ones you hear about through having a really good conversation with the guy who buys in the electronic music for your local record shop. You start chatting about how you’ve been listening to some soundtracks lately after hearing something in a film, then they recommend someone, you say “yeah I’ve got into that David Holmes who is done all these soundtracks for …” He then tells you he is playing a 5 hour set at this pub in Todmorden Yorkshire that is owned by a super eccentric Thai lady. The Gold Lion, which were totally unaware of, but turns out Goldie played there the other week. Sadly it’s sold out :( But it’s all these places where you will still find the quality crowds. They can make or break a night as much as the talent playing!
Went to my first 1989, north London, illegal. Asked my mate what to wear. He said anything no one will care. Didn't really like the clubs, but loved the music on my tapes. That night just blew me away. All walks of life just there for the music. I was finally with like minded people who didn't judge. I had some fantastic times for the next ten years in tents and clubs, but nothing will compare to those early years and I feel so lucky to have been part of it.
90s kid here. Its difficult now. Platforms like boiler room brought the DJ in front of the camera. Its very cool to go to a (legal) rave, and we have 'festival chic' to prescribe what to wear. On the other hand, there are a lot of uninviting squat raves, not the same type of crowd (have witnessed stabbing at one). Saying that, I made lasting friendships in fields and in clubs in the 2010s. There is vanity, pretentiousness and elitism in dance music today, and a lot of money, but clubbing culture is a broad spectrum and at the more carefree end you have places like Plastic People in London with almost no lighting and no door policy, other than keeping out big groups of pissheads. Those places where you face each other and not the DJ, where you'll share a water with a stranger, its still there if you can find it, but you often have to get to it early or let the commercial aspects of today's scene wash over you. (Plastic People couldn't maintain their license in a gentrifying London.) Today I think the sanctuary offered by raves has been replaced by internet culture - check out VR raves...
"Went to my first 1989, north London, illegal" Is 1989 a place? I was thinking it was the year. [Ignorant Yank here, but I was going to guess this was London!]
I'm way younger, when I hit the scene it was 2011. I look back on it fondly and wouldn't change it at all, but to go to one of these 90's warehouse raves would be amazing.
Yep the money went on drugs, vinyl, drugs n petrol money and more drugs! Most fun times ever, we were total caners. Feel sorry for kids now, plastic nails, hair, eyelashes, hooker heels and dresses - and camera phones for everyone to judge each other. People only dressed up for wedding/funeral🤣and only took photos on a camera at crimbo, birthdays and holidays.😂not one photo exists of me as a raver, to my knowledge, probably a good thing, looked wankered like a sweaty owl.🤣
ITS so amazing for me as german to see this Video. In 1989 started the love Parade with 150 People. I think the UK gave the inspiration in 1988. Now I am 53 years old. 1989 was a fantastic year. ❤
Yes man. We used to sell herb at these parties. Never saw a fight, never had anyone OD. We arrived as a group, made new friends, and we left together to eat breakfast when the sun came up.
This footage almost makes me weep with nostalgia and warmth. I feel like I know everyone in that warehouse and danced alongside them. Happy days, the best days.
I’m 50now. I went to my first rave as a college freshman in L.A. in 1991. It was illegal and surreal. You had to buy a ticket from a record store, call a hotline the night of then travel to a map location. It was a special time.
I’ve just turned 50. I was in LA summer of 91, I was 17 and djing back in Italy then, didn’t go to a rave but EMF live at palladium. While listening on my CD discman to KLF and 808 state you brought back some memories ! But I’m gutted didn’t know about these raves happening that summer !! Hahaha
Not necessarily, although I know what you mean but back then you were only known within the scene, now all you need is a radio hit and you're pretty much everyone's favorite
@@AgentHurt As a DJ you have to listen carefully to a lot of music and choose what to play at the right moment. Also you have to bring a powerful sound system. Don't fuck it up. Then there're good ones and bad ones. It takes as much skill today as it used to. It's something that can be learned by practice. It's not a unique profession, but what profession is? Even piloting works on the autopilot today. It is to avoid crashes. :)
Even using a DDJ isn't as easy as you think. With today's technology the sound is alot cleaner from a crackling vinyl. Although I've been around the scene. They both have positives and negatives. The reason DJs of today go wrong is they use beat match way too much. The sound in the video has came along way from the Original Sound of Kraftwerk... You cod put Paul Kalkbrenner's Mixer he takes to his live sets in front of that DJ and he would be lost. Yet you could put Kalkbrenner infront of those Decks and he wouldn't be lost at all.
@@CeruleanSky1111 - It has absolutely no relevance whether it's on a computer or real decks. It's not the instrument and hardware that determines the dj or musician.
Spot on comment. The early raves were just anyone who liked the tunes getting together. Later on there was more of a uniform. Hoodies for some, white gloves, safety vests, beanies etc. All the different areas making their own look. Still lots of peace and love back then 🙂
There were no social divisions like now. People did not dicuss politics, taxes or religion. Privacy existed and people were less racist. Everyone hung out together and manners, being polite and respectful was still a thing.
I remember those days! A good DJ would build the music layer by layer, and just when you think it couldn't get better it took you to a whole 'nother level and you felt like you could dance forever.
@@lina4inampa901pparently, it's actually because of the indoor smoking ban. now that ppl go outside when the set mellows out, djs have to play banger after banger to keep the crowd interested. I don't smoke nicotine products so the constant intensity is a little overwhelming for me and I end up leaving for a break anyways 😂 a double edged sword
The best thing about this is that everyone is learning what to do with this music. It was literally just invented the year before. Kids today can't fathom it. This was literally a completely new music genre being born. No, this is not the same as a SUB genre coming along like dubstep, etc. A whole new genre. I'm not sure we'll ever see anything like it again.
Definitely the best times..kinda weird thinking back that we didn't have cellphones etc everyone just knew where to meet up.. Socialising was a good laugh back then..always good times and plenty people to meet..nowadays with social media n shit instead of going out for a laugh with friends people just go talk to friends on here and other social networks etc...kinda killing society tbh.
The 80's and early 90's where you could be who you wanted to be and dress how you wanted to dress and not be judged while getting along with everyone. Great times!
For those who were not about at the time this is what I remember of those days: buying a ticket in advance £15 to £25 (back in 1989) from independent record shops in Soho to raves with names like Hysteria, Genesis, Biology, Fantazia etc. Then listening to pirate radio stations for the time/ location to meet up or phoning a contact number written on the flyer when you bought the ticket. Then heading to the meet at the Windmill Pub in Clapham Common at about midnight. From there about 200+ cars with blaring rave music all headed out of south London to the M25. By about 2am you finally arrived in some field or warehouse and raved to about 10am. One time we ended up in a warehouse in Watford and another time a disused airfield in Hampshire! Colourful, crazy times!
@@YuBetchya wait, resident advisor doesn’t give out locations 🥺. I thought resident advisor was the perfect website to catch on current djs who play secret music away from mainstream
Oh cool, I was at this party. It was an illegal warehouse event by Energy in 89'. Me and mates were driving a Peugeot 205 gti and at about 5.00am I went to the car to get some skins, I had a football in there too so I took it out and kicked it in the air. Next thing there was like 50 to 100 of us out of our faces passing and kicking the ball to each other, it was so hilarious trying to kick the ball as we were so gone we kept missing it and falling over 🤣😂🤣 best time ever. Trust me when I say this, these were beautiful times to be alive, the parties, the music, the people... Epic in every sense... The dj playing is Evil Eddie Richards who I first met at Clink Street in 88'... Best days of my life ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ xxx
@@YoutuBerry1993 i don't anymore Berry. But I still have all the original vinyls and even better, you see my profile pic, it's a book, not just an ordinary book, this was my diary that I wrote in daily of all the parties and illegal warehouse, field events that I went to between 87' and 88', its absolutely full of stuff including an original press release of Roland's Tb 303 known as the acid sound that was published in 1982. 😁
@@tamjames1496 that's sick man! Love hearing stories from the 80/90ies. I almost could not believe house/techno did exist back then. The music is timeless, the dance is timeless. I'll be at awakenings festival near Amsterdam in about 2 weeks. It's the biggest of Europe. 💪💪
No color, no cliques, no flags.just people straight up vibing to the music and that generation didn´t need shitty lights and dumb costumes to create an epic experience. DJ also just dropping one banger after another without the whole crowd facing him like a messiah that you see today. They did this party thing way better.
◘ EXOSPHERE ◘ I'm not sure where they are now and i certainly wasn't there but I was bang in the scene at the time! a lot of my pals have either had a life time of drug abuse mental health problems and even death! but wow we had a banging time and I don't regret nothing! feel very privileged to have been a teenager in the acid house/ rave then house and garage before dabbling in jungle! when the ecstacy and cannabis were real high quality! it really did feel like you were bang in the middle of something which I have never experienced since! DJs such as Carl cox, grooverider were our rockstars! god like icons
Hello, I'm there at 0:13 side view white Ttop, bob blonde haired dude, later on again @ 4:36 & 8:16. Thanks for asking I'm doing fine. I'm 49 now not rich or poor. This brings a tear to eye, cause getting old sucks and I had the best time raving and clubbing like a loon right till about 2004. This was at Raydon Airfield in Suffolk and I was there for there for two days. Doved up and smelly, but the weather was great and everyone was on it.
I did it all on Vodka too, alcohol is a hard drug. Still have n' t tried illegal substances. Apart from the occasional joint. But this is the year will be my E- year.
One love to you all. I'm 51, father of five. I've passed the love and the music onto my kids who are in their twenties now. I know how fortunate I am to have been in the right place at the right time in history. We experienced something so special. Shout out to the Shelley's peeps! Much love everyone. And no, drugs are not a spiritual shortcut, they're a catalyst. Make sure you talk about drugs with the kids and share your experiences openly and honestly.
I wish I’d been born ten years earlier. I remember in the late 80’s standing in the back garden listening to the sound of an acid house party drifting down from the ridgeway a good ten miles away and my dad explains what it was. I was fascinated. I was around 8 or 9 years old. At 16 I wrnt to my first “goa trance” rave in Dalston and was hooked ever since, similar vibe in that psychedelic scene, plur etc but god I wish I’d been able to have been at the early raves as a young man. The scene fragmented into all these seperate genres of music and some tended to be less peaceful. Drum n bass I love the music but I’ve been evacuated from a club when someone got stabbed in the neck.
Shelley's was unreal to be fair. I was a 15 year old school boy in late 89. My mates older sis went to the Blackburn raves, took him along twice but my dad was having none of that, however he did soften regarding Shelley's and I'm so f#####g grateful he did!
Brings back memories. Early to late 90s Raving . Dance all night till 7:00 am 😂 I went to a few raves during Covid , not the same . Music was like metal and no one dances . It’s fun dancing and moving to the beat. Move how you feel ❤
so nice to see a clear film of an original rave with the correct soundtrack and not some grainy vhs copy thats been recopied 20 times before it ended up on youtube.........lets have more of these kinolibrary
@@chop8557 Yeah, I did a lot of partying in Israel and when it was a smaller party, somewhere underground, in a shelter or a beach, people danced facing each other. But once it was some bigger DJ, all facing him.
the fault also lies within the fact that nowadays most venues place the dj at the center of stage in plain sight, whereas before they were usually kinda hidden. at least in raves and teknivals the focus is set on the soundsystem and not the dj
Not embarrassed to say I shed a tear or two watching these rave vids. It brings back so many great memories of the incredible parties we went to. It's a cliche but it's so true that you really had to have been there to understand.
I was only in the scene 1998-2004 and it warms my heart seeing how much further back it went. After I left it morphed I to something different and lost its magic. I'm glad you got to experience this
I feel your pain, I feel so empty these days because this kind of stuff just simply wasn’t happening when I was 20, shitty nightclubs with crap music and crap pints whereas this is just banging , I wish I’d been born in 1970 or so and enjoy all the late 80s and early 90s with house and grunge music too
Quisiera haber nacido en esa época igual, dónde no había tanto clasismo y la gente no se distraía tanto viendo cómo vestía solo disfrutaban las músicas en las venas y y
@@eiyhka8779 lol aww thank you ❤️, but me a legend?.. No 😁, it was a time of real peace, love, and all colour, racist barriers were not to be seen anywhere.

@@eiyhka8779 Absolutely, to think someone recorded this for posterity is indeed a fine thing, but to see it on TH-cam, well that's just magical.

22 minutes in and the two wearing rompa suits have epitomised the rave scene for me. Loved every minute of this video. Love , freedom and Doves. What a time to be alive!
that will come back for a few after the demons rape creation and then kill it again …while calling themselves worthy as they raped and abused. same hole always.
@@barbarabeard3904 in Berlin this time allso, best time, Russians give up let the people free, Wall is down end of 1989 and the Party was on - Eva 240 mg and 180 mg pure and strong 👊🏻 - nice to see you have the same partys this time 👍🏻👏🏻
I did security, easiest gigs ever. Kids thought we were the coolest, they'd think we were busting them for smoking and we'd just join in. Only times I ever had to deal with violence was when there was alcohol involved - and it was NEVER brought in by the promoters.
I love how everyone is moving in syncronicity, yet in their own way, doing their own thing. Like a well oiled engine, each componant doing its own job to make the whole work in harmony. Music (all different kinds, including house) has the power to unify people, superficial differences are set aside for a moment. If race, religion, politics and power are what make people go to war, I've always thought music and dance are what bring people together. I think this always has, and always will be the case, though lately society as a collective seem to have forgotten this.
I loved watching this. I was lucky enough to be at parties with the same vibe around Bristol in 1990-1991, the music was so much more diverse back then. I got into DJ'ing through that era and I would play House, Detroit Techno, Acid House, Garage, Freestyle House, Balearic, Hip House and Club Tunes in the same set. Speaking as an underground DJ from that era, my attitude and many other DJ's at the time was...."DJ's Should Be Heard and Not Seen". We just wanted to play the music and the crowd just wanted to dance, it was unpretentious and in the moment.
I think it could still work today, find some turntables or better yet DJs with their own setup, do better on what to do if scenarios pop up, accept people are still going to use their phones - if they had them or a pager - and pick the place - maybe recreate the days of the hellfire club and throw money together and buy all these abandoned lots.
Good quality footage. Doesn't seem like 1989. I turned 18 that year and the possibilities seemed endless. I'm 46 now but as long as the music still speaks to me I'll never grow old.
"Old" is a social program. So long as you dont take your cue from society on "how you should act at this age" you are golden. Remember the soul doesnt age. Surround yourself with people that think like that. Ageism is a disease.
fvcking heaven. thousands of people of all races, all classes and backgrounds, all lifestyles, coming together and dancing to the same groove. there is nary a soul to be seen who isn't dancing. another thing I remember about the old days: party people respected each other's space. we picked a spot to dance and stayed there. these days at raves, people are constantly shuffling around, wandering from one place to the next, walking into dancers and stepping on people's feet. Symptom of mass ADHD.
Nacht Schreck true and thats rare these days but some rave's, psychodelic parties,festivals and concerts are still like. Speaking about personal experiences in Germany and Netherlands.
find our other friends, we get thirsty, we have to go to the bathroom, we want to drink. Also not everybody is taking drugs so people don't want to stay in one spot they wanna see the venue. Now raves aren't even just warehouses anymore. They're these huge venues that have multiple levels and are pretty much clubs.
And back when people were actually wearing clothes at raves lol. Now, it is mostly nude ladies and dudes with their shirts off trying to make untoward moves.
Way what a flashback! This is wear it all started,we worked hard and on the weekend we raved even harder! I'd go back to these glorious times in a heartbeat if I could!👌❤
Influjo Estelar bro it is like that in Britain in real life news and all this fake shit about us doesn’t apply to reality There’s a strong underground scene and the sense of community amongst the people You get me
Where the fuck do you live that its not like that? lmao don't let politics fool you into thinking theres a race war preventing good raves from happening.
B A S E D SBG SOLDIER i live in New York City the "melting pot" of the world. And it is nottt like that trust me lol . the fake news and race tension created by fake movements like BLM have divided everyone .. You can't even trust your own kind here . trust me . i grew up here . watch the TH-cam video about Junior being butchered to death in the Bronx . he was Dominican . guess who killed him .. Dominicans ... How sad ..
Whites can generally trust other whites tho . and blacks with blacks now since theyve been under some heavy fire from the media but the Latinos ..i think they're learning they need to stick together cuz blacks don't love you guys . even if some of you are "afro Latino" and whites certainly dont like any one non white
I'm a dancer and watching this made me cry. I wish people just danced at partys like this. This video shows the fun we can have together in this one life
As a dancer please tell me why I see so few dancers actually throwing it down at concerts and raves. It does happen, once in a blue moon, to spot some isolated dancers or a small circle throwing down. But why is it so rare ? Shyness ? Not wanting to take the spotlight ? Idk I only have a few awkward moves, if i had some dance vocabulary i'd spend my night looking for others to dance with. If it's anything like playing with a tight band (something i experiencwd as a pianist) it must be a rush...
Shoutout to everyone who randomly stumbled on this & will never forget the awesomeness of breaking into an abandoned building & wilding out like that until the sun came up 🌞
This was a young generation having had 10 years of the old establishment and Margaret Thatcher we’d had enough we fought back they wondered what had hit them 😊. I was lucky to be a part of it all also timed perfectly with a drug called Ecstasy 👍
It’s it’s the conversion/compression from the original film type to something we can do at home that causes the loss in video quality. Ya know how the remaster old ass movies on Blu-ray? That’s due to the cameras being good back when it was filmed and our ability now to convert that original film into a viewable media with minimal quality loss!

Yes I’m 45 and I still go out dancing in London or festivals. I’m into psytrance now but have progressed through the whole house music spectrum, but boy this video brings back memories. I was so young when I found the scene and I feel privileged to have experienced it. What amazing times and the people ,lots of the friendships still exist. Wow ! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I was a senior in high school in 1989. I absolutely loved raves and any dance parties with acid house or freestyle thrumming through our ears. Of course no computers back then so people relied on word of mouth where these were happening. God this really brings back memories. First time I ever took some ecstasy boy oh boy was I high that night. Small little dance club outside NYC called Miracles. 1991.
@@pedromateus9575 it was amazing. A very strong, even euphoria like you’d get from an oxycodone but much much longer. Plus when you hit with someone you know or are sexually attracted to you start to get this other type of euphoric feeling through touch which can go on for hours and hours. At the end you almost certainly want to eat together because you’re usually starving and dehydrated by then. That’s the one thing I hadn’t considered - how much my body heat would increase and how much I’d sweat and end up dangerously close to being dehydrated. Very intense stuff but it’s definitely not something that I’d recommend doing multiple tabs in a night of! It never stacked well for me and because of the long duration of action there really wasn’t much need to. The key was dosing the proper amount from dose number one and enjoying your next 10-12 hours lol. I stopped using the stuff in my late twenties because I started to find it was being mixed with other stuff that made you start to have some mild but dark audio visual hallucinations. Gone was the little wooden shoe drawn on the outside of the five pack wrapper I used to get (I thought it meant it came from Holland but didn’t care because I like the shoe lol. Replacing it was a little flag of Mexico. That’s when I noticed the difference and quit partying with it. Anyway, drugs are bad, mmkay…..this ends my impromptu tales from the trip after action report 😂
Class of 89 also, and hitting that scene hard, the answer to that question about the etsy high, judging by the boy oh boy statement, and say pretty good lol, I can attest to that, all mine have been supurb
Yeah and you had to have a meet up spot for when the rave ended and a rough time and hope everyone adhered to that. But without fail everytime only two people out of the group made it to the meet up spot at the correct time. 🤣
They existed, but they were massive, couldn't exactly fit inside your pocket. And that's all they were 'phones'. Not computers with phones and hd cameras fitted.
Soooo great, thanks for posting. I wish I had a time machine, I go back there and stay. The twins were the best, the looks on there faces were were perfect.... thee best times
For anyone that’s curious, yes this was indeed from 1989! The flyer for this event stated all the following: The event was Dance ‘89 (Presented by Energy) Saturday, September 23, 1989 Raydon Airfield, Suffolk, UK DJs included: Richie Rich, Little Louis Vega, Paul “Trouble” Anderson, Evil Eddie Richards (whom you can see DJ’ing in this video), Judge Jules, Paul Oakenfold, Jazzy M, Fabio, Jumping Jack Frost. Live Acts: Soul II Soul, Bomb the Bass, Inner City, M.C. Merlin, Smiley Culture
@@oakenfoldmixes Don't listen to them. Its 100% 1989. I'm in that crowd not on film. I know or knew at least 4 people in this vid. It is in fact on Sunday. It didn't get going till around 5- 530 am. I don't think any of live acts were there and only a handful of DJ's. Its strange watching it. It brilliant but also gives me a heavy dose of melancholy. It was without doubt the best era of my life.
@@Zaandick Thanks for the info! I forgot to mention all the info listed was from the flyer for the event. Just updated my comment to reflect that. Amazing! You were so lucky to have experienced those days! 😍
Ahhh, sweaty hair and face, t-shirts with stretched long sleeves, having to stand still because you'd danced so much and needed a little break, just feeling the beats and when a tune you really loved came on, regaining the energy to rave again! I was a metal head in the 90's but rave music had the same uplifting vibes ❤
I like how the mixer was directly hooked to the camera's left channel audio input until about 2/3rds of the way through too, was a good idea but funny hearing in the direct feed just how overdriven the signal being sent out to the sound system actually was haha
Neil James I’m currently writing a thesis about the commercialization of the 90s rave scene. I need people to interview who were involved in the 90s rave culture to gauge the socio economic status of those involved in the scene etc. Would you be interested in participating? It would help me out a great deal!
@@Nasty_J people on acid don't dance with the beat like that. They're all over the place. Some videos on TH-cam show what people dancing on acid actually looks like. It's more of an interpretation than a dance.
@@Nasty_JNo. Acid House and Acid Jazz were so-called because they borrowed from other pieces of music. Nothing to do with LSD. Until in 1989 when The Sun newspaper made up some rubbish about LSD being sold at raves! And then 3 months later the dealers started bringing that to raves to sell. It was all about Ecstasy from the start of the House scene until then. Plus no one wants to go raving on LSD! 😂 How can you not know this?
One thing that always strikes me about the difference of then and now.... we danced together, NOT FACING THE DJ booth.
Jajsjja that exactly what i think, so accurate
dj was part of the crowd..
People can dance how the want but I don't quite agree that it is better this way. When everyone's facing the same way, we're like a big wave, all one type of feeling, us against the DJs mad beats hitting our faces. Here everyone is chilling on their own, which is super sick but also seems like people don't know where to face and it looks all jumbled. I dunno it feels weird a bit.
I also dont get why crowds are just watching the dj nowadays
@@forthehood7466 yeah they look a bit lost. The dancefloor needs a energy focuser, the dj is that conduit! Being one myself, i felt it my duty to help amp up the crowd and get everyone on the same page so to speak. I dont like watching djs who dont engage the crowd at all. U dont have to be doing a jesus christ pose all the time, but giving back some love and energy goes a long way. However poeple shouldnt be weirded out when faced by others either, which i find these days when im on the dancefloor rather than behind the dex. Sad. Both have there up sides ...and down i spose. 😊 wish i was there to throw some light and love (...and focus).
i came to this country for the club and music scene, we didnt have raves yet in South Africa like this.

This was back in the days when people were out to dance. Not to pose at the bar, not to take pictures to put online. People were out for the dancing. What a great era.

@@AD-eg9cw Don't you make a difference between selfies and parties ? Poor little selfish thing 🥺
they still do and the events are still happening they are called raves. unfortunately they have been severely reduced by the police and property all getting bought up
The fact that the DJ's beat matched and mixed on Vinyl records all by ear, and not a pre recorded set like the dj's of today is what makes these parties so amazing!
The word vinyl isn't a proper noun or place name or at the start of the sentence so it doesn't need an incorrect upper-case v. DJs* of today, no apostrophe saying DJ is of today.
When was the last time you went out to a party?

You didn't need ask anyone to dance, you just went out floor by yourself. I miss the days
Say what? 😁
yeah i just did this last november and people kept coming up and tryna insert themselves. very offputting you cant just groove anymore.
No mystery grinders either haha everyone was so respectful considering we were all so off it. No alcohol for a period too, the staff must have thought it was some kind of very friendly Christian gathering, until they spoke to one of us trying to buy water
Best days off our lives wee just didn’t give a shit the music the beat and non stop raving on the dance floor no one can forget these days my heart is still beating hard watching this ❤
I go to Duffy’s every couple of months , acknowledge the DJ & dance my a$$ off by myself…2 hrs drinking water & lemon & buy a drink f t DJ. I b the only one dancing & DGAF! while the DJ is doing his thing. Duffy’s in Miami, Florida…DJ THURS-Sunday over looking the INTERCOSTAL…NYC to Miami 20 yrs ago & STILL LOVING IT❤❤❤❤❤ ✌🏾
Young people in the 80s and 90s were cooler than anyone before and are still cooler than anyone after
Thank you 😂
Yes, we are!
Wish I could go back in time and go to a late 80s or early 90s rave.
White people can’t dance that has not changed.
@@TheGreenyRiotthat even made me feel old, before that we didn't have to give a crap about anything tech until we cranked on the tv or a phone call, lol just joking around friend

This was Energy Dance 89 at Raydon Airfield, Suffolk on September 23, 1989.
Charity event put on in aid of the marchioness disaster where all profits were given to the Thames tragedy fund.
The event was organised by Tin Tin and Jeremy Taylor , initially it was supposed to be held in Southark Park London but due to pressure from the local council the venue got cancelled at the last minute, the event was then moved on to several other locations which were also stopped and the party finally ended up in an aircraft hanger at Raydon Airfield, Ipswich, Suffolk at dawn on Sunday 24th September 1989.
15000+ people followed in convoy's to attend the party, causing travel chaos along the way.
DJ's were Richie Rich, Paul Trouble Anderson, Little Louis Vega, Judge Jules, Paul Oakenfold, Jumping Jack Frost, Evil Eddie Richards, Frankie Bones & Fabio.
Illegal or not, I'm not sure now?
That’s a trip dude that you know all this! Great times back then even here in the states. At 52 years old I still dance as hard as I did back then.

Only the dealers had those back then.
Amazing thing is, nobody is showing off, they just look like ordinary people enjoying the atmosphere, just being themselves. Nice to see lots of black and white people mixing, no trouble. Everyone happy. I remember the 80s being like this, people were so much nicer to be around. Nowadays everyone is image obsessed and arrogant, all about me me me, the labels on my clothes, the car I drive (you mean lease LOL) and posting everything about themselves on Instagram or Facebook etc. People have such a horrible self important attitude these days with no time for anyone else. Social media has turned everyone into sickening attention seekers. Get me a time machine please.
Ernie Flannel bro there a re parties like that trust me .
Eric Cowan yeah you right bro it’s true you know I was thinking that our people are snobs and states are better I’ve traveled and understood our youth is massive in its positivity . Love uk just off the rave six story building old street packed up Bro , dogs , police ain’t no hatred just literally can live off your years like that . In London most of the clubs being on the shut down more than half in a mere decade you get me
People penned up like literally do we have a choice yes we do and we fighting gentrification by rocking and whacking this places
Eric Cowan no Bro I’m for real anytime you in London go to rave parties bro you’ll make lifetime friends and might will stay here altogether I knew some geezer he moved oout from states found a British girl , from now on beanies on a toast and good warm up at the dance floor

The set is gold and it would be awesome if somebody could recreate it and post it here on TH-cam.
Wow, you sir, know your music
That’s very kind of you
Which is what it’s all about!
It’s the more in the know parties that I prefer. You know the ones you hear about through having a really good conversation with the guy who buys in the electronic music for your local record shop.
You start chatting about how you’ve been listening to some soundtracks lately after hearing something in a film, then they recommend someone, you say “yeah I’ve got into that David Holmes who is done all these soundtracks for …”
He then tells you he is playing a 5 hour set at this pub in Todmorden Yorkshire that is owned by a super eccentric Thai lady.
The Gold Lion, which were totally unaware of, but turns out Goldie played there the other week.
Sadly it’s sold out :(
But it’s all these places where you will still find the quality crowds.
They can make or break a night as much as the talent playing!
I love you

I've been raving in the loop for 500 years now, Its still hasn't gotten old 🧼🔥
1988 to 1994 would be PERFECT for me
Went to my first 1989, north London, illegal. Asked my mate what to wear. He said anything no one will care. Didn't really like the clubs, but loved the music on my tapes. That night just blew me away. All walks of life just there for the music. I was finally with like minded people who didn't judge. I had some fantastic times for the next ten years in tents and clubs, but nothing will compare to those early years and I feel so lucky to have been part of it.
there's NO SUBSTITUTE mate
90s kid here. Its difficult now. Platforms like boiler room brought the DJ in front of the camera. Its very cool to go to a (legal) rave, and we have 'festival chic' to prescribe what to wear. On the other hand, there are a lot of uninviting squat raves, not the same type of crowd (have witnessed stabbing at one). Saying that, I made lasting friendships in fields and in clubs in the 2010s. There is vanity, pretentiousness and elitism in dance music today, and a lot of money, but clubbing culture is a broad spectrum and at the more carefree end you have places like Plastic People in London with almost no lighting and no door policy, other than keeping out big groups of pissheads. Those places where you face each other and not the DJ, where you'll share a water with a stranger, its still there if you can find it, but you often have to get to it early or let the commercial aspects of today's scene wash over you. (Plastic People couldn't maintain their license in a gentrifying London.) Today I think the sanctuary offered by raves has been replaced by internet culture - check out VR raves...
"Went to my first 1989, north London, illegal"
Is 1989 a place? I was thinking it was the year. [Ignorant Yank here, but I was going to guess this was London!]
@@tgfluxI've no idea where it was in London.
I'm way younger, when I hit the scene it was 2011. I look back on it fondly and wouldn't change it at all, but to go to one of these 90's warehouse raves would be amazing.
I love their clothes honestly, so unpretentious.
Reflect of their state of mind
An individually expressive.
Yup. It was all about the music then. Now it's all about image.
i love that hoodie at 7:28 tho
Yep the money went on drugs, vinyl, drugs n petrol money and more drugs! Most fun times ever, we were total caners. Feel sorry for kids now, plastic nails, hair, eyelashes, hooker heels and dresses - and camera phones for everyone to judge each other. People only dressed up for wedding/funeral🤣and only took photos on a camera at crimbo, birthdays and holidays.😂not one photo exists of me as a raver, to my knowledge, probably a good thing, looked wankered like a sweaty owl.🤣

I’m 50now. I went to my first rave as a college freshman in L.A. in 1991. It was illegal and surreal. You had to buy a ticket from a record store, call a hotline the night of then travel to a map location. It was a special time.
I’ve just turned 50. I was in LA summer of 91, I was 17 and djing back in Italy then, didn’t go to a rave but EMF live at palladium. While listening on my CD discman to KLF and 808 state you brought back some memories ! But I’m gutted didn’t know about these raves happening that summer !! Hahaha

Not necessarily, although I know what you mean but back then you were only known within the scene, now all you need is a radio hit and you're pretty much everyone's favorite
@@chucke2319 that was in the eighties as well, video killed the radio star 🌟
Back when DJing took skill and not just a “play” button or logic pro
@@AgentHurt As a DJ you have to listen carefully to a lot of music and choose what to play at the right moment. Also you have to bring a powerful sound system. Don't fuck it up. Then there're good ones and bad ones. It takes as much skill today as it used to. It's something that can be learned by practice. It's not a unique profession, but what profession is? Even piloting works on the autopilot today. It is to avoid crashes. :)
This DJ is killing it. Those transitions are seamless!
Even using a DDJ isn't as easy as you think. With today's technology the sound is alot cleaner from a crackling vinyl. Although I've been around the scene. They both have positives and negatives. The reason DJs of today go wrong is they use beat match way too much. The sound in the video has came along way from the Original Sound of Kraftwerk... You cod put Paul Kalkbrenner's Mixer he takes to his live sets in front of that DJ and he would be lost. Yet you could put Kalkbrenner infront of those Decks and he wouldn't be lost at all.

It’s ironic that a rave party in 1989 is looking more diverse than in 2024.
There were no social divisions like now. People did not dicuss politics, taxes or religion. Privacy existed and people were less racist. Everyone hung out together and manners, being polite and respectful was still a thing.
No shit I was thinking this doesn't look racist or discriminatory everybody's vibing together
All vibing. Straight, gay, different races. Just there for a good time and a good vibe. It does look more happy and diverse than now.
Well thats because the rich white trust-fund kids hadn’t discovered this type of thing yet.
Gangsta rap and big money r&b came in 1990's and took blacks away.
I remember those days! A good DJ would build the music layer by layer, and just when you think it couldn't get better it took you to a whole 'nother level and you felt like you could dance forever.
Thats when the drugs kick in... LOL
seduction was an absolute boss at that!
Exactly! Now the music is mostly the same, so people are staring at their phones during the set😂
@@lina4inampa901pparently, it's actually because of the indoor smoking ban. now that ppl go outside when the set mellows out, djs have to play banger after banger to keep the crowd interested.

We age like fine Wine!... Live Life at your Fullest!
The 80's and early 90's where you could be who you wanted to be and dress how you wanted to dress and not be judged while getting along with everyone.
Great times!
80s* and 90s*, no apostrophe saying 80 is etc. Eighties has no apostrophe. 🕊️💜
For those who were not about at the time this is what I remember of those days: buying a ticket in advance £15 to £25 (back in 1989) from independent record shops in Soho to raves with names like Hysteria, Genesis, Biology, Fantazia etc. Then listening to pirate radio stations for the time/ location to meet up or phoning a contact number written on the flyer when you bought the ticket. Then heading to the meet at the Windmill Pub in Clapham Common at about midnight. From there about 200+ cars with blaring rave music all headed out of south London to the M25. By about 2am you finally arrived in some field or warehouse and raved to about 10am. One time we ended up in a warehouse in Watford and another time a disused airfield in Hampshire! Colourful, crazy times!
In 2000 I could still go to a rave for $10-25 in LA
That's cool, but seems like a lot of effort for a rave.
@@k-leb4671 You had to put the work in back in those days .
They had texting in 1989?

Oh cool, I was at this party. It was an illegal warehouse event by Energy in 89'. Me and mates were driving a Peugeot 205 gti and at about 5.00am I went to the car to get some skins, I had a football in there too so I took it out and kicked it in the air. Next thing there was like 50 to 100 of us out of our faces passing and kicking the ball to each other, it was so hilarious trying to kick the ball as we were so gone we kept missing it and falling over 🤣😂🤣 best time ever. Trust me when I say this, these were beautiful times to be alive, the parties, the music, the people... Epic in every sense... The dj playing is Evil Eddie Richards who I first met at Clink Street in 88'... Best days of my life ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ xxx

@@tamjames1496 that's sick man! Love hearing stories from the 80/90ies. I almost could not believe house/techno did exist back then. The music is timeless, the dance is timeless. I'll be at awakenings festival near Amsterdam in about 2 weeks. It's the biggest of Europe. 💪💪
Never to replicated, I feel for the youngsters of today . 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yep, me too, there was no attitude problems back then at raves, not sure if they know these days what the word fun even means
Look how engaged in the "moment" people used to be.
That moment when you realize 80’s parties are better than modern one today
They were so raw and simplistic, no showing off or fake knob twisting on the mixer, just vibe & energy and oneness
Ya because we live in 1984 now
always been......parties of 1880 were better than 1920's also....and this goes on an on since jesus was born man.....trust me

It's true.
with their phones held high recording everything..... instead of being in the moment and dancing!
@@michaelknight37 recording themselves half the time
No color, no cliques, no flags.just people straight up vibing to the music and that generation didn´t need shitty lights and dumb costumes to create an epic experience. DJ also just dropping one banger after another without the whole crowd facing him like a messiah that you see today. They did this party thing way better.
even in 95' we had lazer lights at parties though.

◘ EXOSPHERE ◘ I'm not sure where they are now and i certainly wasn't there but I was bang in the scene at the time! a lot of my pals have either had a life time of drug abuse mental health problems and even death! but wow we had a banging time and I don't regret nothing! feel very privileged to have been a teenager in the acid house/ rave then house and garage before dabbling in jungle! when the ecstacy and cannabis were real high quality! it really did feel like you were bang in the middle of something which I have never experienced since! DJs such as Carl cox, grooverider were our rockstars! god like icons
Hello, I'm there at 0:13 side view white Ttop, bob blonde haired dude, later on again @ 4:36 & 8:16. Thanks for asking I'm doing fine. I'm 49 now not rich or poor. This brings a tear to eye, cause getting old sucks and I had the best time raving and clubbing like a loon right till about 2004. This was at Raydon Airfield in Suffolk and I was there for there for two days. Doved up and smelly, but the weather was great and everyone was on it.
@ Chris b ..............you came a long way this was in England.

I'm 50 years old and I still feel Acid Music is the best kind of music of all times. And I'm happy to have lived all those days and raved like that

I'm 54, it was a wicked ride
@@gorringeman 53 here, it was a great time which will never happen again. We were lucky to have experienced it.
I did it all on Vodka too, alcohol is a hard drug. Still have n' t tried illegal substances. Apart from the occasional joint. But this is the year will be my E- year.
had no idea this existed in the 80s. i was just a kid. so cool. so pure
One love to you all. I'm 51, father of five. I've passed the love and the music onto my kids who are in their twenties now.
I know how fortunate I am to have been in the right place at the right time in history. We experienced something so special. Shout out to the Shelley's peeps! Much love everyone. And no, drugs are not a spiritual shortcut, they're a catalyst. Make sure you talk about drugs with the kids and share your experiences openly and honestly.
Hope you shown them to dance too.
I wish I’d been born ten years earlier. I remember in the late 80’s standing in the back garden listening to the sound of an acid house party drifting down from the ridgeway a good ten miles away and my dad explains what it was. I was fascinated. I was around 8 or 9 years old. At 16 I wrnt to my first “goa trance” rave in Dalston and was hooked ever since, similar vibe in that psychedelic scene, plur etc but god I wish I’d been able to have been at the early raves as a young man. The scene fragmented into all these seperate genres of music and some tended to be less peaceful. Drum n bass I love the music but I’ve been evacuated from a club when someone got stabbed in the neck.
Извините, а как говорить с детьми о наркотиках?
Shelley's was unreal to be fair. I was a 15 year old school boy in late 89. My mates older sis went to the Blackburn raves, took him along twice but my dad was having none of that, however he did soften regarding Shelley's and I'm so f#####g grateful he did!
yes, my cousin was killed by taking drugs at 18 not worth it
Brings back memories. Early to late 90s Raving . Dance all night till 7:00 am 😂
I went to a few raves during Covid , not the same . Music was like metal and no one dances .
It’s fun dancing and moving to the beat. Move how you feel ❤
Those crazy twins in the matching dotty onesies absolutely loving life! What an era! 👊🏼🔥

so nice to see a clear film of an original rave with the correct soundtrack and not some grainy vhs copy thats been recopied 20 times before it ended up on youtube.........lets have more of these kinolibrary
Damn right!
I know, I hate those because they make everything look older than it is.
Older than it is? We're talking almost 30 years ago!
you mental? this is amazing quality for the time.
The quality is fantastic! It looks like it was made last week.. Unbelievable everyone in this is nearly 30 years older
Love it how they're dancing with each other, not all facing the DJ like zombies praising their master.
usually there are visuals behind the dj, don't hate
this is mostly an american problem, or mainstream edm problem. like techno and psytrance parties are usually like this where im from.
@@chop8557 Yeah, I did a lot of partying in Israel and when it was a smaller party, somewhere underground, in a shelter or a beach, people danced facing each other. But once it was some bigger DJ, all facing him.
the fault also lies within the fact that nowadays most venues place the dj at the center of stage in plain sight, whereas before they were usually kinda hidden. at least in raves and teknivals the focus is set on the soundsystem and not the dj
I remember in those days they'd hide the DJs and you'd often not even notice them the entire night. . That was in Detroit.
The mixes and songs were less predictable and just overall more bangin.
Not embarrassed to say I shed a tear or two watching these rave vids. It brings back so many great memories of the incredible parties we went to. It's a cliche but it's so true that you really had to have been there to understand.
I know. I was so happy back then. I'm so sad these days. Empty. I was so full of hope and living in the moment. Obsessed with music. Good Times.
I was only in the scene 1998-2004 and it warms my heart seeing how much further back it went. After I left it morphed I to something different and lost its magic. I'm glad you got to experience this
Simple, no fucking phones.
I feel your pain, I feel so empty these days because this kind of stuff just simply wasn’t happening when I was 20, shitty nightclubs with crap music and crap pints whereas this is just banging , I wish I’d been born in 1970 or so and enjoy all the late 80s and early 90s with house and grunge music too
Quisiera haber nacido en esa época igual, dónde no había tanto clasismo y la gente no se distraía tanto viendo cómo vestía solo disfrutaban las músicas en las venas y y

@@grafklong4772 kids nowadays never would have survived the southside of chicago parties
I love how everyone is moving in syncronicity, yet in their own way, doing their own thing. Like a well oiled engine, each componant doing its own job to make the whole work in harmony. Music (all different kinds, including house) has the power to unify people, superficial differences are set aside for a moment. If race, religion, politics and power are what make people go to war, I've always thought music and dance are what bring people together. I think this always has, and always will be the case, though lately society as a collective seem to have forgotten this.
Thanks bro that's true dat!
You must live in America. Europe techno and house events are still like this lol.

I loved watching this. I was lucky enough to be at parties with the same vibe around Bristol in 1990-1991, the music was so much more diverse back then. I got into DJ'ing through that era and I would play House, Detroit Techno, Acid House, Garage, Freestyle House, Balearic, Hip House and Club Tunes in the same set. Speaking as an underground DJ from that era, my attitude and many other DJ's at the time was...."DJ's Should Be Heard and Not Seen". We just wanted to play the music and the crowd just wanted to dance, it was unpretentious and in the moment.
I'm 51 now and those were the best years of my life, great times
Try organising an illegal rave with thousands of people, a last minute location, without mobile phones and social media. I double dare you
The movie groove comes to mind@@DimensionIlIlIl
These kids today...Hey! You! Get off my lawn!
I think it could still work today, find some turntables or better yet DJs with their own setup, do better on what to do if scenarios pop up, accept people are still going to use their phones - if they had them or a pager - and pick the place - maybe recreate the days of the hellfire club and throw money together and buy all these abandoned lots.

Good quality footage. Doesn't seem like 1989. I turned 18 that year and the possibilities seemed endless. I'm 46 now but as long as the music still speaks to me I'll never grow old.
"Old" is a social program. So long as you dont take your cue from society on "how you should act at this age" you are golden.

fvcking heaven. thousands of people of all races, all classes and backgrounds, all lifestyles, coming together and dancing to the same groove. there is nary a soul to be seen who isn't dancing. another thing I remember about the old days: party people respected each other's space. we picked a spot to dance and stayed there. these days at raves, people are constantly shuffling around, wandering from one place to the next, walking into dancers and stepping on people's feet. Symptom of mass ADHD.
Nacht Schreck Yeh, no-one dances. Just loads of stumbling about, at best, and Yeh, all that moving from one place to the next, what's that all about?
there are no raves anymore, what are you on about ?
Nacht Schreck true and thats rare these days but some rave's, psychodelic parties,festivals and concerts are still like. Speaking about personal experiences in Germany and Netherlands.
find our other friends, we get thirsty, we have to go to the bathroom, we want to drink. Also not everybody is taking drugs so people don't want to stay in one spot they wanna see the venue. Now raves aren't even just warehouses anymore. They're these huge venues that have multiple levels and are pretty much clubs.
you're so right man!
Love how people dance and are not trying to look cool for one another.
Theyre trying but you can't see it..its a different kind of trying
@@therealconniefrancis lol
@@therealconniefrancis if you see what we were all wearing you would not find it that impressive. It was just clothes not 'fashion'.

Way what a flashback! This is wear it all started,we worked hard and on the weekend we raved even harder! I'd go back to these glorious times in a heartbeat if I could!👌❤

And it is nottt like that trust me lol . the fake news and race tension created by fake movements like BLM have divided everyone .. You can't even trust your own kind here . trust me . i grew up here . watch the TH-cam video about Junior being butchered to death in the Bronx . he was Dominican . guess who killed him .. Dominicans ... How sad ..
Whites can generally trust other whites tho . and blacks with blacks now since theyve been under some heavy fire from the media but the Latinos ..i think they're learning they need to stick together cuz blacks don't love you guys . even if some of you are "afro Latino" and whites certainly dont like any one non white
its my fault, im a racist

Jimel Quann I loved to dance so much 🤪
Lead the way, Jimel
I'm still dancing Jimel 😁. I was at this party dancing....
Yes on drugs
As a dancer please tell me why I see so few dancers actually throwing it down at concerts and raves. It does happen, once in a blue moon, to spot some isolated dancers or a small circle throwing down. But why is it so rare ? Shyness ? Not wanting to take the spotlight ? Idk I only have a few awkward moves, if i had some dance vocabulary i'd spend my night looking for others to dance with. If it's anything like playing with a tight band (something i experiencwd as a pianist) it must be a rush...

it was a great year to be born
I was a senior in high school in 1989. I absolutely loved raves and any dance parties with acid house or freestyle thrumming through our ears. Of course no computers back then so people relied on word of mouth where these were happening. God this really brings back memories. First time I ever took some ecstasy boy oh boy was I high that night. Small little dance club outside NYC called Miracles. 1991.
When people were truly social.
ole tus huevos
How was the high?😃
@@pedromateus9575 it was amazing. A very strong, even euphoria like you’d get from an oxycodone but much much longer. Plus when you hit with someone you know or are sexually attracted to you start to get this other type of euphoric feeling through touch which can go on for hours and hours. At the end you almost certainly want to eat together because you’re usually starving and dehydrated by then. That’s the one thing I hadn’t considered - how much my body heat would increase and how much I’d sweat and end up dangerously close to being dehydrated. Very intense stuff but it’s definitely not something that I’d recommend doing multiple tabs in a night of! It never stacked well for me and because of the long duration of action there really wasn’t much need to. The key was dosing the proper amount from dose number one and enjoying your next 10-12 hours lol.
I stopped using the stuff in my late twenties because I started to find it was being mixed with other stuff that made you start to have some mild but dark audio visual hallucinations. Gone was the little wooden shoe drawn on the outside of the five pack wrapper I used to get (I thought it meant it came from Holland but didn’t care because I like the shoe lol. Replacing it was a little flag of Mexico. That’s when I noticed the difference and quit partying with it.
Anyway, drugs are bad, mmkay…..this ends my impromptu tales from the trip after action report 😂
Class of 89 also, and hitting that scene hard, the answer to that question about the etsy high, judging by the boy oh boy statement, and say pretty good lol, I can attest to that, all mine have been supurb
This is LIFE! I miss these days tremendously!

that's why no one under 40 can be convinced that we weren't all bigots back then - we don't have a lot of footage to prove it
Yeah and you had to have a meet up spot for when the rave ended and a rough time and hope everyone adhered to that. But without fail everytime only two people out of the group made it to the meet up spot at the correct time. 🤣
They existed, but they were massive, couldn't exactly fit inside your pocket. And that's all they were 'phones'. Not computers with phones and hd cameras fitted.

For anyone that’s curious, yes this was indeed from 1989!
The flyer for this event stated all the following:
The event was Dance ‘89 (Presented by Energy)
Saturday, September 23, 1989
Raydon Airfield, Suffolk, UK
DJs included: Richie Rich, Little Louis Vega, Paul “Trouble” Anderson, Evil Eddie Richards (whom you can see DJ’ing in this video), Judge Jules, Paul Oakenfold, Jazzy M, Fabio, Jumping Jack Frost.
Live Acts: Soul II Soul, Bomb the Bass, Inner City, M.C. Merlin, Smiley Culture
@TTFPouyii Quite a few people in the comments were convinced it wasn’t the 80s and was definitely in the early 90s.
I wonder if there is more footage of this event?
@@oakenfoldmixes Don't listen to them. Its 100% 1989. I'm in that crowd not on film. I know or knew at least 4 people in this vid. It is in fact on Sunday. It didn't get going till around 5- 530 am. I don't think any of live acts were there and only a handful of DJ's.

People looked a lot more healthy and down to earth. Now, well...
Look at all the amazing colors, shapes, ages, sizes, classes, religions, etc. all grooving together without judgements, that's RAVING and HOUSE.
Yeah! And did you see the 2 onesies?
They were too high to be racist but Quite a few of the DJs and organisers were though that’s how jungle got started
How do you see religions Mr Pc officer?
YES
How can you tell there are different religions there? These people are most likely atheist or MAYBE Christian. your a modern day PC officer.
Ahhh, sweaty hair and face, t-shirts with stretched long sleeves, having to stand still because you'd danced so much and needed a little break, just feeling the beats and when a tune you really loved came on, regaining the energy to rave again! I was a metal head in the 90's but rave music had the same uplifting vibes ❤
1:30 came to pick up his granddaughter but got sucked into the music
😂😂😂😂😂 He's really vibing.
Tits Mcghee
Or he’s the dealer 😁💊🤤
That's just Sonny Bono.
He was probably a disco guy back in the 70s lol
A man in his 50’s, if still alive, now in his 80’s. Good grief, where does the time go?
That's astounding video quality.
Time travelers
Yes mam indeed, I'm sure is 16mm film
tis 4 '89
@@junglajuan ahh, that makes sense. thought it was too good for a VHS camera haha
I like how the mixer was directly hooked to the camera's left channel audio input until about 2/3rds of the way through too, was a good idea but funny hearing in the direct feed just how overdriven the signal being sent out to the sound system actually was haha
Wow, I forgot how close people got to each other lol
Social distancing people !!! Pre-COVID plan-demic days...
And now everyone is snowflakes, paranoid or believe everything they here! It's pathetic.
The poor state of the two comments above this.
It will never be like this again
Now its just rich 16 year olds on cocaine
Social Media Ruined Everything 😑
so true
True of true
This for the rest of our lives.
Agreed
TH-cam is social media
When’s the next illegal rave . Your never to old
Neil James I’m currently writing a thesis about the commercialization of the 90s rave scene. I need people to interview who were involved in the 90s rave culture to gauge the socio economic status of those involved in the scene etc. Would you be interested in participating? It would help me out a great deal!
jay twinontour Just need your email address and I can give you more information about the project👍🏽
@@nathanmascall3635 It went commercial when big clubs got involved. There is still a massive underground acid house scene.
Let me know!
Nathan Mascall - was a US service member, and my first “rave” (in the US), but what a night!!
fantastic video! great tunes a real time capsule. no camera phones, no attitude, just the beauty of pure rave
+ vinyl mixin' only...naturally.
+triptechable. the way it should be. the kids today could learn a lot from this.
I would pay million bucks to be in that dance energy. Props to the serious djs
No smartphone, no djs under the lights ... just pleasure of music.
Acid helps too
@@Nasty_J people on acid don't dance with the beat like that. They're all over the place. Some videos on TH-cam show what people dancing on acid actually looks like. It's more of an interpretation than a dance.
XTC was the ticket
Полностью с вами согласен уважаемый.
@@Nasty_JNo. Acid House and Acid Jazz were so-called because they borrowed from other pieces of music. Nothing to do with LSD. Until in 1989 when The Sun newspaper made up some rubbish about LSD being sold at raves! And then 3 months later the dealers started bringing that to raves to sell. It was all about Ecstasy from the start of the House scene until then. Plus no one wants to go raving on LSD! 😂 How can you not know this?
