I used to bring leftover meeting food to ravers waiting in lines. I knew that some of these kids had saved their $$ for a ticket and party favors and probably were going to party hungry. While I couldn't effectively coach them to not abuse drugs, I could feed them. Then they wouldn't crash and need help. I brought ~12 pizzas once and 2 grocery sacks of muffins b/c a seminar had leftovers and I snagged em. They were all good kids and gave me their trash and didn't leave a mess.
I'm now 56 and I kid you not, not one day goes by without my mind contemplating the good ole days of acid house way back in 87'. Must have had 30 hours a week sleep back then because I was partying, pirate radio and djing like it was going outta fashion ffs lol. The best time of my life ever. Nothing has come close since and nothing ever will as far as I'm concerned. There's two, only two factors of life that can make you happy.. Music and love. Without these you already dead. Now lemme squeeze you with an oldie that'll take you right back to my time.. Rhythim is Rhythim - It is What it is.. Transmat records 1988 see u on the dancefloor people 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶
Yes sir from a rave lover 1989 .to 1995🎉🎉🎉. It truly was a special time with all the people but within yourself 💓 dancing dancing 🙏 From Edinburgh Carlton studio and 9c victoria st. Rez and fantasia to Bally night club in Arbroath 🎉🎉🎉

I just wanna say, I'm 21 and I've danced at all sort of modern legal "raves" that just dont seem to beat the authenticity of this, illegal ones in London just get shut down straight away. I just wanna say if you were lucky enough to attend these be thankful! Nowadays everyone just drinks alchohol to numb the pain, everyone cares so much what people think and appearance is everything, people dont dance to let go anymore. We need to free the people and go back to these raves.

I was slightly too young to attend the raves in the real peak period, but I am forever looking for music from the time, I can't describe the feeling it gives you to this day!
I'm 50 now, and don't take any drugs or even drink. But, I still DJ 1990-1993 oldskool 'ardcore every week, because the music is amazing with or without drugs.
One club me and my two pals went in, which was hitting the early 90s music, was the only club that was jam packed, I wonder why? ah yeah that was down to the music been amazing along with the atmosphere.
Used to rave in my student days in Cambridge without even alcohol let alone Class A’s as we were too poor...the music was enough for my best friend and me!
Im disabled and ive moved my arms and my hands to dance music alone in my flat A girl in the video talking about when youre legs are exhausted and you can move your arms or hands Solidarity 🙌✌️ I will still be hand dancing until the day i die 😁

I used to stop and just soak up the buzz of watching a thousand happy people creating the strongest euphoric atmosphere you can imagine. I was blessed with funky bones so I had a scream of a time.
I remember straight out of Uni and starting out at the Daily Telegraph in London around "88 on the career circuit and noticing this cockney lad delivering the mail around the office at South Quay with his late Beatles mop top and baggy clothes. Curious, I asked him what he was into and he was telling me about these raves and how you had to go to motorway service stations to find out about them ...sooner than you could say "popper" I was out on "walkabout" each weekend. Then around 89/90 I was sitting spaced out in my office chair and saw him pushing his internal mail cart (this was all before internet), hair trimmed nicely and looking smart as an arse. "What happened?" I asked him. "The scene got to big , too many normal's on it now, I cant be bothered:" he said. Coolest fella I ever met.

Voodoo Ray & Acieeed! Two of loadsa outstanding tracks, from the original rave generation. I'm lucky enough to have been there, soaked up the vibes, danced till whenever & bought the vinyl's. Whenever I play those acid tracks now, I'm convinced they would still mash up the clubs/parties!
I loved the rave culture. Zero violence 100% love. The only time the big rave clubs got attitude was when the pubs closed and the pissheads show up around midnight.
I'm not very good looking and I'm not very clever but none of that mattered when your were there and I'm so glad I was as it was the best days of my life x
Exactly what brownbeard said! t’s not about that shit! The experiences is what it’s about! We all have different skills and the world wouldn’t be as good without us all being different. Definitely don’t need any more models or suits that’s for sure ;)
glad u had a good time but like other comments said dont need to say things like that every1 is good looking in their own way and clever in their own way stay positive m8
Voodooray ...... remember hitting Brighton clubs when that came on. Acid house, driving around the m25. 18/19 years old. Brilliant times. We had Big Black Cox & Fat Boy.
These times are the best mankind can ever produce. The wonderful people, the love and most of all the music. I’ll always be blessed with these times. To all the ravers one 💕 love peace and sweet harmony.
Went to my first illegal Rave in 1987 and it was a magical period; almost seemed as if a new genre of music was being invented every week. I remain in touch with many of the friends I made during that time and whilst the E was a social lubricant, the empathy and kindness inherent to people back then coupled with the amazing music was the true driver of it. Also, no social media back then either. FB/Instagram etc. has ushered in a wariness to personal behaviour that simply didn't exist in those days. Good times, high times...and I don't regret a single moment of it. I am 54 in July. And if you're young then get the party started once we're over this appalling pandemic - we're relying on you all! :)
I loved it, 1987/89/90.,every club was bouncing i went to the garage in paisley scotland and the DJ, from radio clyde telling everybody to calm down😂, people were jumping off the top floor onto the dance floor madness 😂, but everyone was just pals...
Nothing like taking ecstasy and having a completely mind blowing experience not even because of the music but because of how soft your hair feels, you’re in awe and have a complete conversation with it telling it how you love it and how soft and beautiful it is it’s an affair with your hair😂
The government acted on pressure from the breweries to limit the popularity of acid house especially the free/ illegal stuff. No one was drinking much early on in the scene and the breweries who had previously had a near monopoly on lower class pleasure seeking were starting to notice the lack of money at the bar. Beer took the edge off, water was all you needed. It was only when we got pushed back into the clubs and bars thanks to the "you're not free to party act" that you started to see more people on e and a skin full of beer. Me included.
Its probably more about control and fear of losing control.. then lack of customers for beer. Since i think the decline of alcohol consumption..if at all was marginal. There where still.more than enough alcohol consumers.
@Cicada 3301 I remember one night me and my pals got a few sandwiches each from a guy we saw on a street corner, he looked a bit dodgy but sound enough. turns out him or maybe the guy he buys from had made ours with margarine and not butter as we had been led to believe (we had asked of course, we where young but knew the score) Anyway, long story short we all got sore stomachs and Edmund ended up in hospital, his mum went mental.
I never at that came across a polite sweet , pickle & cheese eating girl raver.. 🤔 This wasn't a student type scene, it was something for the drop outs and naughty ones
Youth is not wasted on the young, its to be experienced by them ,the dance era towards the last ywars of the 90s was theend of this. Im glad i had mine in the 90s. Its stolen from the young now.
I can say without a doubt that DMT's formula was given to us by the Annunaki to the Egyptians. The book of Thoth is that formula (DMT), the Egyptian buildings and the peculiar way they painted them is an obvious sign that they had DMT's formula and had been using it for a long time to keep the connection between the Kings who ruled Egypt and the "Gods" (or creators) for guidance and for our own personal limitless evolution. The Annunaki came to earth to save their planet and in the process of ensuring their survival we were created. They decided to give us their Genetic Information, technology, structures and sacred teachings so that we become our best versions and reach a "Higher Awareness State" just like them so that we can aid them with their planet (Nibiru) and serve our purpose here on earth. They had their personal reasons for creating us but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be grateful. I personally think that everyone should take DMT and Ayahuasca before they die, but always have in mind that what you are going to go through will only last 15 minutes on DMT and a lot more time on Ayahuasca, DMT opens a world of visuals and sounds that we've never seen or heard before and that we never would have thought they were even possible. Sounds may come in forms and forms may come in sounds. DMT is related to The Book Of Thoth. The Egyptians called the Pineal Gland "The 3rd Eye" and the 3rd Eye "The Seat Of The Soul" we can only access the Book of Thoth in the Astral world, we access the Astral world through Laser focused meditation and we receive guidance through synchronicity, emotions, voices and visuals once we are in the "Astral", this is because our Pineal Gland produces DMT naturally and the DMT amount we produce increases drastically giving us the ability to "Perceive" much more than the physical realm when we meditate. When you do DMT it doesn't matter if you don't know how to meditate because DMT guides you to the meditative state even if you are trying to avoid it by not paying attention .The smoked DMT takes approx 10 seconds to kick in and when it does you enter a trance state so powerful that whatever image you have in front of you disappears and you are suddenly transported to another "Dimension" where you will understand this Ancient Knowledge. The interesting thing about DMT is that the "Trip" is not always the same, there are endless trip possibilities and there is no limit to what you can perceive, the more DMT smoke you hold in for a long time (10 secs) will determine how strong your trip is going to be. I knew about DMT and Psychedelics long before I tried them, but I always thought that it was impossible to connect with beings that are from a reality different than ours until I tried DMT for the first time. Just keep in mind that what we perceive in meditation is a lot of DMT being released naturally from your pineal gland, when we smoke DMT those effects are increased on a ridiculous level giving you access to your "6th Sense". No one has ever died consuming DMT and just like cannabis DMT doesn't have any "cancerous cell activation" risks. Smoking DMT is said to be the most extreme experience a human being can go through so be warned and proceed with caution. Peace, Love and Abundance for the readers🍄
I never got the chance to do a race. There wasnt such things available to us. It looked like alot of fun. I did have a blast in the 90's. Great time to be alive.
I have a drugged smiley face with wobbly mouth and tongue out on my calf.. With the words aciiiieeed man around it and bubbles around the head.. I had it done one Sunday when I was around 17 I think.. I'm glad I was there for warehouse party's... Which later led to raves in 90-94 for me.. Good happy times and my head still intact... Just. Lol
From the days when everyone together felt as one ... Shame the government couldnt handle people not buying lager and enjoying themselves instead .. Peace and love to all..x
A moment in time where it didn't matter who you were or what you did.... We just danced with who whoever and made great friends. For a time we were aligned. A generation worked it out through music and socialising. We can use those stories and experiences to our share with our children. Peace out and thank you 🤞
those days were fantastic, when it wasn't really important who was going to play at an event, the point was the event itself. you knew you were going to be entertained by some dudes playing wicked music. also there were no genres really, just electronic dance music.
Using E in relationship counselling? Lol, could you imagine? So, derek, now we have heard what gemma has said. Do you have any thoughts? Fn HAVE IT!!! I love you both so, so much. *sweaty hug*
We went to see the shamen like I think it was 1990 in treforest polytechnic it was called synergy they made this crap room into a trip projections everywhere seamless between a dj and live set I was completely straight as I was pregnant but it was art the whole thing never saw anything like that again this bass frequency nearly knocked me flying . I’ll maintain this view for the rest of my life I lived for party drugs as soon as it was possible but that great feeling when you just dance and dance without giving a fuck bout what people think that amazing feeling I also had in the junior discos with my mates dancing till we were soaking with sweat to bad manners and Dexys all of us hugging each other haaa we were 10 I guess the pills just allowed that same thing really
Only the BBC could chose a really posh bird as their guest to talk about being a raver. Cheese and pickle sandwiches, oh go away. NO ONE took sandwiches to a rave FFS
Fucking sandwiches, wouldve been soaking wet dripping all over her keks if she'd really be avin it🤣🤩 My clothes and shoes would be utterly fucked every wkd, besta times guys🤡
You could be two enemy’s and then bump into each other at a rave whilst under the influence and become best friends at the end of the night, hugging and everything haha 😂
My Big Bro was one of Australia's first Techno DJ's , ,DJ Dave Delirious R.I.P, When the Prodigy toured here they chose Dave to tour with them as an opening act, I do remember he made me a tape it had the track on this clip that starts at 4:30
I never did the "illegal raves" i was born in '82 so maybe 7ish years too young! I did catch the tail end with the hard house/trance clubs in '99 with Gods Kitchen, Crasher, Insomniacs, Passion and my hometowns club (progress in Derby) good times. Only problem is I did that many pills I have suffered with severe mental health problems from the early 00's to this day!
Don't cry,celebrate the fact we were in the place and avin' it!! I'm 51 now and feel blessed that I saw Punk,Ska,New Wave and the whole Electronica scene,what a time to be alive!x
Happy days....Es Wiz Acid Poppers weed...I took the lot (sometimes on the same night) I couldn’t get enough....Shout out to all the clubbers from back in the day......👍😜😎
this complete thing was an ''over-reaction'' wasn't necessary at all ... the government didn't get any money from it , so they shut it down that's been about the only point of it .
1) Where's the rest of it? And 2) I'm old enough to remember when this music was big. I loved it. I was living in rural Michigan at the time. Unfortunately there were no big parties. It's just a few people hanging out in an apartment or a few vehicles in a field with a keg. I would have loved to have been in London or UK when this was going on. Thank you.
It's so interesting if you trace back this rave phenomena through the generations and how/why it's shaped. Every generation, especially those that came after rough economic times or war reacted this way, the most genuine and effective were the swinging children of the 20s and the 60s, the 90s came a bit closer.
RAVE WILL NEVER DIE! it's a way of life, it's a way to come together! I'm so proud to be from the Era or began! It's on my blood. We all have our own experiences, family and love! RAVE WILL NEVER DIE ❤😊❤
I remember being at a rave back in the day and had a girl tell me the best feeling in the world was to rub the back of my head against a wall in a chill out room. Been hunting for a wall like that ever since lol. This video brought back fun memories.
I remember going out raving in the late 90s but always felt gutted i had missed out on the Acid House partys..... but looking back now to the 90s they were also awesome!! especially 97/98 drum & Bass and techno it blew my mind :-)
I seen a lad at the sanctuary once that had so much steam coming from all over the top half of his body and his head that he looked like a human kettle! Never forget that lol
It was great wasn’t it!! Went a bit shit round about 93/94 when the super clubs started to take off. These New Age travellers who used to rock up to a huge field by us used to put on these boss parties every time they came to town from about 89-92 & always brought the best tablets with them. Great days.
'And there was another souvenir brought back by holidaying Brits' Plays tune made in a flat in Hulme Crescents. I was in the room when Gerald made the tune. The only time he'd seen Eye-Beetha was a poster in the window of Thomas Cook.
It was great, we went to a party 100 km away, when we didn't even have cars..or internet..so we just took train, bus, walked because "somebody" had heard from somebodies cousin's girlfriend's brother that there was going to be a party somewhere near a small town we'de never been before, in the middle of nowhere.. no adress, no GPS, we just went and then asked around or followed somebody who looked like he was the partying type we hoped that he knew where he was supposed to be going. And odly enough, I can't remember ever not ending up in some kind of epic gig, were we only left the next day by noon ish. All spent, broke and satisfied.
i brought grapes to a rave once. i fed one to this guy who was high as a kite and he just stared at me in amazement for a while then gave me a hug.
He probably thought you were an angel, you were to him lol
Sounds like good times

Voodoo Ray & Acieeed! Two of loadsa outstanding tracks, from the original rave generation. I'm lucky enough to have been there, soaked up the vibes, danced till whenever & bought the vinyl's. Whenever I play those acid tracks now, I'm convinced they would still mash up the clubs/parties!
Ah yes, the 90's rave scene. The music, the people and the dancing, kids/teens today know absolutely nothing!
It was a revolution!
Bet you never thought ud say that 😊 repeating mum an dad an I do the same thing ❤
Drugs, clubs... and there was not a single word about music, about legendary Roland TB-303 and TR-707.
Shut up fedora man
and legend tr 808
And the music at the end was not acid house.
i think very few people were making the music, it was very difficult than it is these days
Sooo lucky we grew up doing this! Not a camera phone in sight, thank fuck 😅😂❤
I loved the rave culture. Zero violence 100% love. The only time the big rave clubs got attitude was when the pubs closed and the pissheads show up around midnight.
I'm not very good looking and I'm not very clever but none of that mattered when your were there and I'm so glad I was as it was the best days of my life x
Don't put yourself down mate.
Exactly what brownbeard said! t’s not about that shit! The experiences is what it’s about! We all have different skills and the world wouldn’t be as good without us all being different. Definitely don’t need any more models or suits that’s for sure ;)
Amazing days!😍😍😍😍
glad u had a good time but like other comments said dont need to say things like that every1 is good looking in their own way and clever in their own way stay positive m8
Don’t put yourself in a box. Make a box 🙌🏻
Voodooray ...... remember hitting Brighton clubs when that came on. Acid house, driving around the m25.
18/19 years old.
Brilliant times.
We had Big Black Cox & Fat Boy.
Voodoo ray first heard it in kiss playa den bossa ibiza 1989
Samantha Chairi still holds a beat today!!
Absolutely still get excited when I hear it
Haha big black Cox not heard that for minute
Andrew 10 I'm from Brighton & he used to play the pubs on a Sunday night, happy days.
These times are the best mankind can ever produce. The wonderful people, the love and most of all the music. I’ll always be blessed with these times. To all the ravers one 💕 love peace and sweet harmony.
Went to my first illegal Rave in 1987 and it was a magical period; almost seemed as if a new genre of music was being invented every week. I remain in touch with many of the friends I made during that time and whilst the E was a social lubricant, the empathy and kindness inherent to people back then coupled with the amazing music was the true driver of it. Also, no social media back then either. FB/Instagram etc. has ushered in a wariness to personal behaviour that simply didn't exist in those days. Good times, high times...and I don't regret a single moment of it. I am 54 in July. And if you're young then get the party started once we're over this appalling pandemic - we're relying on you all! :)
I loved it, 1987/89/90.,every club was bouncing i went to the garage in paisley scotland and the DJ, from radio clyde telling everybody to calm down😂, people were jumping off the top floor onto the dance floor madness 😂, but everyone was just pals...
Great times, nobody really cared how you were dancing as long as you were enjoying yourself. Not like today’s self conscious dance floors!
It's still the same. Where do you go to? 🤣
Yeah, you got to find more underground parties.
Yea it sucks because I’m scared I’ll be the next internet meme/joke with phone’s everywhere
People perfectionists and fool these days if they just relax they'll feel vibes star
Underground dance still got vibe yes
Nothing like taking ecstasy and having a completely mind blowing experience not even because of the music but because of how soft your hair feels, you’re in awe and have a complete conversation with it telling it how you love it and how soft and beautiful it is it’s an affair with your hair😂
The government acted on pressure from the breweries to limit the popularity of acid house especially the free/ illegal stuff. No one was drinking much early on in the scene and the breweries who had previously had a near monopoly on lower class pleasure seeking were starting to notice the lack of money at the bar. Beer took the edge off, water was all you needed.
It was only when we got pushed back into the clubs and bars thanks to the "you're not free to party act" that you started to see more people on e and a skin full of beer. Me included.
Its probably more about control and fear of losing control.. then lack of customers for beer. Since i think the decline of alcohol consumption..if at all was marginal. There where still.more than enough alcohol consumers.
I liked having a few beers throughout the night, it made me able to eat breakfast before the morning train home....
Yep the booze crept back in.
And cocaine once it got pushed into the club's. Spoilt the vibe totally. People started dressing up again n worrying what they looked like too.
@@jimjam8949 totally agree.
I've been to so many raves and there was never any trouble but when I go to a regular bar or nightclub there's definitely always a fight.
booze.
The come down off cheese n pickle is horrendous 😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅 a big rush for the cocoa
🤢🤢🤢
@Cicada 3301 I remember one night me and my pals got a few sandwiches each from a guy we saw on a street corner, he looked a bit dodgy but sound enough. turns out him or maybe the guy he buys from had made ours with margarine and not butter as we had been led to believe (we had asked of course, we where young but knew the score) Anyway, long story short we all got sore stomachs and Edmund ended up in hospital, his mum went mental.
Cheddared right up mate!
I never at that came across a polite sweet , pickle & cheese eating girl raver.. 🤔
This wasn't a student type scene, it was something for the drop outs and naughty ones
Youth is not wasted on the young,
its to be experienced by them
,the dance era towards the last ywars of the 90s was theend of this.
Im glad i had mine in the 90s.
Its stolen from the young now.

I was feeling good until Blair appeared at the end! Talk about a vibe kill!
Lol
i kno right, the fuckin vampire

I can say without a doubt that DMT's formula was given to us by the Annunaki to the Egyptians. The book of Thoth is that formula (DMT), the Egyptian buildings and the peculiar way they painted them is an obvious sign that they had DMT's formula and had been using it for a long time to keep the connection between the Kings who ruled Egypt and the "Gods" (or creators) for guidance and for our own personal limitless evolution. The Annunaki came to earth to save their planet and in the process of ensuring their survival we were created. They decided to give us their Genetic Information, technology, structures and sacred teachings so that we become our best versions and reach a "Higher Awareness State" just like them so that we can aid them with their planet (Nibiru) and serve our purpose here on earth. They had their personal reasons for creating us but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be grateful.
I personally think that everyone should take DMT and Ayahuasca before they die, but always have in mind that what you are going to go through will only last 15 minutes on DMT and a lot more time on Ayahuasca, DMT opens a world of visuals and sounds that we've never seen or heard before and that we never would have thought they were even possible. Sounds may come in forms and forms may come in sounds. DMT is related to The Book Of Thoth. The Egyptians called the Pineal Gland "The 3rd Eye" and the 3rd Eye "The Seat Of The Soul" we can only access the Book of Thoth in the Astral world, we access the Astral world through Laser focused meditation and we receive guidance through synchronicity, emotions, voices and visuals once we are in the "Astral", this is because our Pineal Gland produces DMT naturally and the DMT amount we produce increases drastically giving us the ability to "Perceive" much more than the physical realm when we meditate. When you do DMT it doesn't matter if you don't know how to meditate because DMT guides you to the meditative state even if you are trying to avoid it by not paying attention .The smoked DMT takes approx 10 seconds to kick in and when it does you enter a trance state so powerful that whatever image you have in front of you disappears and you are suddenly transported to another "Dimension" where you will understand this Ancient Knowledge. The interesting thing about DMT is that the "Trip" is not always the same, there are endless trip possibilities and there is no limit to what you can perceive, the more DMT smoke you hold in for a long time (10 secs) will determine how strong your trip is going to be.
I knew about DMT and Psychedelics long before I tried them, but I always thought that it was impossible to connect with beings that are from a reality different than ours until I tried DMT for the first time.
Just keep in mind that what we perceive in meditation is a lot of DMT being released naturally from your pineal gland, when we smoke DMT those effects are increased on a ridiculous level giving you access to your "6th Sense".
No one has ever died consuming DMT and just like cannabis DMT doesn't have any "cancerous cell activation" risks.
Smoking DMT is said to be the most extreme experience a human being can go through so be warned and proceed with caution.
Peace, Love and Abundance for the readers🍄
The Caveej yip, and he affected us all. Good he was this - it wasn't all good...
I never got the chance to do a race. There wasnt such things available to us. It looked like alot of fun. I did have a blast in the 90's. Great time to be alive.
Turbo Mitsubishi’s made the 90’s great! They should bring them back and make them feee for us all
Big, beautiful white lumps of joy! Ha!
Peugeot 106 xsi's
Doves & Flatliners were boss as well.
@@stephendarcy9803 doves weren’t about for me, flatliners were strong as fook.. mitsi triangles come to mind they were strong as fook too 👌🏻
Triangle ones oh god yeeeeees!’ Theeeeee best
I have a drugged smiley face with wobbly mouth and tongue out on my calf.. With the words aciiiieeed man around it and bubbles around the head.. I had it done one Sunday when I was around 17 I think.. I'm glad I was there for warehouse party's... Which later led to raves in 90-94 for me.. Good happy times and my head still intact... Just. Lol
Never tried the cheese n pickle sarnies.. but I do remember the rhubarb n custards being rather deliciously lovely
Best days of life traveling up n down the country loved every min of it the ectasy was brilliant
From the days when everyone together felt as one ... Shame the government couldnt handle people not buying lager and enjoying themselves instead .. Peace and love to all..x
This looks so much fun...I wish life was like this again..
Matt Johns yes definitely
A lot of grateful hugs to those who jumped the pond (1992/93)and played the parties in S.F. Amazing times.
I used to do a fair bit of "Big fish, Little fish, Cardboard box" myself back in the day.
Ha ha ha. Peace man
Dealing cards and maybe some heavy shopping?

10:16 it was like beeing in my family, i really belonged, i never get that sense of belonging anywhere else.... She nailed it
Who could eat anything let alone a cheese and pickle sandwich?!! I couldn't eat until the Sunday night! No wonder we were all slim and fit!
A moment in time where it didn't matter who you were or what you did.... We just danced with who whoever and made great friends. For a time we were aligned. A generation worked it out through music and socialising. We can use those stories and experiences to our share with our children. Peace out and thank you 🤞
those days were fantastic, when it wasn't really important who was going to play at an event, the point was the event itself. you knew you were going to be entertained by some dudes playing wicked music. also there were no genres really, just electronic dance music.
90s, best RAVE music times EVER 👍🏻
I'm pretty sure I'm in one of the dance scenes, waving my arms above my head in pure joy:)
Wow. The good old days of rave party's. I sure did, my fare share of Ecstasy.
Lol me too...
Omg I have great memories of that era for me it was in 91! It started when I heard the happy Mondays the stone roses born slippy coo doo ray etc
Drugs and dancing. Even when the music stopped the body kept on moving... and there were zero fights in my experience.
In 87 I was in one of the biggest clubs in Belgium ( Antwerp) hearing that sound, it was the birth of techno 😮
Using E in relationship counselling? Lol, could you imagine?
So, derek, now we have heard what gemma has said. Do you have any thoughts?
Fn HAVE IT!!! I love you both so, so much. *sweaty hug*
Yeah that's when Derek yells "watch and learn!" and stompy Charlestons the fuck out of the carpet tiles - LOL🤯🤣
Sabre22b 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙉🙈🙊👁🇬🇧
We went to see the shamen like I think it was 1990 in treforest polytechnic it was called synergy they made this crap room into a trip projections everywhere seamless between a dj and live set I was completely straight as I was pregnant but it was art the whole thing never saw anything like that again this bass frequency nearly knocked me flying . I’ll maintain this view for the rest of my life I lived for party drugs as soon as it was possible but that great feeling when you just dance and dance without giving a fuck bout what people think that amazing feeling I also had in the junior discos with my mates dancing till we were soaking with sweat to bad manners and Dexys all of us hugging each other haaa we were 10 I guess the pills just allowed that same thing really

Damm I’m 48 now but I remember the days well, me and my mates mashed it up. Now staying up past 10pm is hardcore.
Only the BBC could chose a really posh bird as their guest to talk about being a raver. Cheese and pickle sandwiches, oh go away. NO ONE took sandwiches to a rave FFS
fucking glucose tablets...
Loool! Cheese and cucumber sandwiches!
Maybe her mum and dad are watching
Fucking sandwiches, wouldve been soaking wet dripping all over her keks if she'd really be avin it🤣🤩 My clothes and shoes would be utterly fucked every wkd, besta times guys🤡
i wonder where the bbc is heading towards.
I loved acid house. the trippy, psychedelic beat could have me in a trance. It was always so mysterious.
You could be two enemy’s and then bump into each other at a rave whilst under the influence and become best friends at the end of the night, hugging and everything haha 😂
i'm so pleased to have played my part in this culture
After the 1994 CJA, the rave spirit continued as Free Parties and Soundsystems and they still do.
Haha that guy spraying water on all the gurners was a comical moment. 😀
My Big Bro was one of Australia's first Techno DJ's , ,DJ Dave Delirious R.I.P, When the Prodigy toured here they chose Dave to tour with them as an opening act, I do remember he made me a tape it had the track on this clip that starts at 4:30
Age of Love
Sydney was dope great underground times, never forget - 92'onwards, kings- Grove crew, dta, Kut rbs"it was on on every wkend - Alexandria! Mer
1:40 This is Acid Man - Mark Blair
you can hear the age of love in the background.... great track of this period
I never did the "illegal raves" i was born in '82 so maybe 7ish years too young! I did catch the tail end with the hard house/trance clubs in '99 with Gods Kitchen, Crasher, Insomniacs, Passion and my hometowns club (progress in Derby) good times. Only problem is I did that many pills I have suffered with severe mental health problems from the early 00's to this day!
Jai mal au derrière Burnham you can fix that with workout, diet, no alcohol and meditation. Perhaps also following some motivational speakers.
@@FinalBoys1982 Thanks for the advice
Want to cry was 21 back in the day best time ever
I just turned 45 yesterday.... What the FUCK HAPPENED
Don't cry,celebrate the fact we were in the place and avin' it!! I'm 51 now and feel blessed that I saw Punk,Ska,New Wave and the whole Electronica scene,what a time to be alive!x
Ok Boomer
@@Cambaudio we're 🚫 not Boomer but generation X,...ok Groomer/ DOOMer.
During Covid I yearn for a good rave full of love more than anything, when the people will be released again the parties will be wonderful
So it's official; cheese & pickle sandwiches lead to ecstasy
Easy with that chocolate milkshake fix missy!
I don't go to any rave festi without the cheese & pickle sandwiches as they last 48 hrs without going off!
Gateway sandwich.
Jon D 😂
Nothing better than coming up on that first cheese and pickle sandwich..😂
in my 50's now been enjoyed the days of being part of the chemical generation . it was fantastic
Happy days....Es Wiz Acid Poppers weed...I took the lot (sometimes on the same night) I couldn’t get enough....Shout out to all the clubbers from back in the day......👍😜😎
I’m 44 going to the quad reunion with shades of rhythm on as the pa and doing it all again...it will never die
this complete thing was an ''over-reaction''
wasn't necessary at all ... the government didn't get any money from it , so they shut it down
that's been about the only point of it .
Yeah that was the bulk of it. They weren't making any money out of it and it didn’t fit their agenda so they shut it down.
The horror of people coming together and seeing beyond the visible surface of things.
The good old days! Loved every minute of it
Hahaha I cracked out laughing at the end "Then Tony Blair Appeared and everything went to shit" hahaha!
Quadro2k 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fucking War Criminal!
It went to shit way before he came on the scene.
1) Where's the rest of it? And 2) I'm old enough to remember when this music was big. I loved it. I was living in rural Michigan at the time. Unfortunately there were no big parties. It's just a few people hanging out in an apartment or a few vehicles in a field with a keg. I would have loved to have been in London or UK when this was going on. Thank you.
Wish I was out raving instead of being stuck in self isolation
At Bossa Nova Civic Club!
you never isolated with any other illness so fuck em get out.
Ah those were the days.... 91-2007 for me x
lol this reminds me of my berlin days. i wish I could have recorded how crazy I looked on x and dancing for 10 hours straight.
The Drome and Basement Birkenhead where it all started. At the end of the 80s. Happy days :)
The jaws hanging off the lads in the toilet 😂😂
It's so interesting if you trace back this rave phenomena through the generations and how/why it's shaped. Every generation, especially those that came after rough economic times or war reacted this way, the most genuine and effective were the swinging children of the 20s and the 60s, the 90s came a bit closer.
I miss it......Booooyyyyyyyyyy do I miss it. The people, the vibe, the tunes, getting busted and the sunrises.
Long may repetitive beats reign.
Society needs a good dose of acid house revelry today.....
RAVE WILL NEVER DIE! it's a way of life, it's a way to come together! I'm so proud to be from the Era or began! It's on my blood. We all have our own experiences, family and love! RAVE WILL NEVER DIE ❤😊❤
Yes it's a pity the real World is never as fun as Ecstasy and Rave music 😢
A great time to be young, I can't believe I'm nearly 50
I miss those days. Everyone mixed together. Happy happy days
I remember being at a rave back in the day and had a girl tell me the best feeling in the world was to rub the back of my head against a wall in a chill out room. Been hunting for a wall like that ever since lol. This video brought back fun memories.
I remember going out raving in the late 90s but always felt gutted i had missed out on the Acid House partys..... but looking back now to the 90s they were also awesome!! especially 97/98 drum & Bass and techno it blew my mind :-)
I seen a lad at the sanctuary once that had so much steam coming from all over the top half of his body and his head that he looked like a human kettle! Never forget that lol
I remember having the time of my life loved every moment & loved the freedom of the people 😁
It was great wasn’t it!! Went a bit shit round about 93/94 when the super clubs started to take off. These New Age travellers who used to rock up to a huge field by us used to put on these boss parties every time they came to town from about 89-92 & always brought the best tablets with them. Great days.
What a time to be alive :) Glad I was part of it :)
'And there was another souvenir brought back by holidaying Brits' Plays tune made in a flat in Hulme Crescents. I was in the room when Gerald made the tune. The only time he'd seen Eye-Beetha was a poster in the window of Thomas Cook.
Voodoo ray!! Perfect.
It was great, we went to a party 100 km away, when we didn't even have cars..or internet..so we just took train, bus, walked because "somebody" had heard from somebodies cousin's girlfriend's brother that there was going to be a party somewhere near a small town we'de never been before, in the middle of nowhere.. no adress, no GPS, we just went and then asked around or followed somebody who looked like he was the partying type we hoped that he knew where he was supposed to be going.
And odly enough, I can't remember ever not ending up in some kind of epic gig, were we only left the next day by noon ish. All spent, broke and satisfied.
Age of love....get in!
