- April 5th, 1997 within the Torres-Martinez reservation by Mecca CA (33°36'46.8"N 116°00'32.1"W), a Rave party called Dune III was held. In total, around 10,0000 people attended. I was surfing the net one night and came across these 4 footage files, which were posted by "Old School Rava" a few years back. Although I was there, I did not tape it. So sit back and relax or just reminisce. You might just see yourself on video! I sure did.
So why did they stop? One man's accidental dead the next year. Read here: articles.latimes.com/1998/jun/...

this was such a great party. brought tears to my eyes to see this. that night was epic for me. in some small way my life change at that party. dose anyone remember the guy on top of the dunes during sunrise? he had long hair that blew in the wind and was wrapped in a blanket. when he opened his arm as to embrace the sun and wind, his blanket had a huge lion embroidered on it. that was a very power feeling for me to see him up there. i felt his energy. the energy of a lion.......... yes this is the u.s. southern california mojave desert. it was held near where they have coachella now. yes parties like this still do take place. and the old feeling we use to get back in the 90's can still be felt today. our generation of old school ravers still gather under the stars to enjoy life, love and music. you just have to be in the know. for those of us who have held on all these years, life is good.
youre lucky you experienced this
+Chase Knighton the 90s parties where the shit
the1snuffbox i didnt rave until mid 2000s..i bet the 90s were magical though
I remember this party very well... was very special memory for me. I remember looking up over head at the Halle-Bopp comet; on one horizon the sun was just rising in the East and on the opposite direction the moon was very low, close to the horizon. I was with some very good friends at the time - one of them I am still semi in touch with. It was one of the most care free times of my life and I'll never forget it :)
My only recollections of Dune II was one of the biggest windstorms imaginable. I'd say the 10K estimate was accurate, but there were a lot of miserable windswept people scattered all over the place. Dune however, held the previous year near Apple Valley in a U-shaped canyon, was one of my favorite raves of the era. The only really bad part about that rave was the vicious washboard dirt road that you had to take for a couple miles from the main road at about 5mph, and it still shook your car to pieces. The best part about the original Dune, aside from the great music and visuals, was comet Hale-Bopp, which was filling the night sky overhead all night long. Absolutely amazing.
I believe the windstorms happened the following year if my memory is serving me.
Damn BDDave, you brought back some ol school memories! I still go, 20 years later and have as much fun. This was one of my best nights, other than Brazil in 94'.
Dude that wind storm was nuts!
I'm the wearer of the penguin hat @ ~1:39. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today. Not sure if anyone else remembers the friggin' sand storm that basically took place the entire event. Although we basically got nighttime sandtans and lungs full of dust, it was a neat effect. Asthmatic friends weren't stoked. I have videotape of this event somewhere too. I miss desert parties. peace.
i miss the 90's, man. Never made the desert partys back then but the philly scene was awesome. they still throw nice party here in northern az in the desert once a month. its been going on for years and years.
Thank you. Love seeing more of these pop up. Definitely need more Moontribe vids too!!!
Anyone gots em let us reminisce 💫🙌😁
Back then it was $20 a person, the promoters weren't solely about making money off of you. They wanted to have a desert rave party to end all desert rave parties!
You could also walk where ever you wanted as well, up in to the hills to chill or even back to your car.
Omg I was here. Sandra Collins fucking rules. She is and was an amazing DJ ahead of her time.
@Goldmotherfunker. Gotta remember back then it was a new sound and unique. They played it together with GOA as well.
Awww the good old days. Did not attend this party but went to several. Not sure why I didn't go to this one because I raved every weekend at this point in time .
Wow, very cool put it up, I would love to see it! Did you see the other 3 parts of Dune II that I uploaded as well?
damn whistles have been around forever

This has to be the desert rave that “Hard Copy” did a story on the previous year.
I was there! Dude that wind storm was intense! Excellent fucking memories.I hear myself blowing my whistle! Fuckin love it! Old School!
@DJDannyBoi7 that was the next year 1998. The dust storm was like a movie set.

@errantseed not the WHOLE new rave generation, there's still a few of us who get down the right way and uphold P.L.U.R. we've just got cooler lights and more ridiculous music than y'all did ;)
Well this was 20 bucks to get in too.
rave whistle
@TheClasho Haha , tickets ? poor america
And they pissed us off then as well :)
14 baby i hope u are the ones with some sort of clothing on:D
looks like an outdoor psytrance gathering.... raves are not what they were back then...
I wish raves were still like this. I have been partying up and down the east coast for about a year now and it seems like everyones all about themselves now. Looks like people in this video are havin an awesome time the way its should be ya know .....but nowadays everyones competing for some title or another. Shit I get weird looks from people just because Im doing liquid and NOT doing this shuffle crap. Wish I was a teen in the 90s! respect!
This video has the ability to make something that is likely great fun appear boring.
Psy trance is lame. I don't like hating on music but holy god man. I can't stand listening to more than a few minutes without getting irritated.
