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 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶
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.
@@tomrobinson2914 I know, worked in bars for about 5 years and have seen the worst sides of people. Md changed my world, opened my heart and my outlook on life. Made me see the good in everyone, how life should be.
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!
Look at how much aggression they threw at us that shows you it scared the shit out of their machine. I can't believe our generation has allowed them to implement what is now happening.
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! :)
Guys, I just wanna say this rave spirit still exists! Experienced in 2020, east Germany, don't know how it looks in other parts of the world... Look for the right raves, in the right places. Cheers and keep ravin!
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!
I`m 41 - in Switzerland we`re experiencing a resurgence of high quality Techno & Oldschool style DJ-ing.

@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
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 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.
A unique era in time when youths gathering en mass when nobody had any animosity and just wanted to dance. 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.

FOR US. BY US. It was ours. We rocked. We rolled. E's and whizz. Throw in a bit of acid and boom. This is all a bit elementary party people. If you lived through the raving 90's you were truly blessed. You would look forward to EVERY single weekend. No aggro. The music was fucking amazing. Nuff said
@@doughroasterbushcraftandsu3947 And nibheads with white gloves green sticks and bald heads with ni top on bunch of gobshite just so it for the sake of taking drugs no sub ulture no fashion style of dress just druggys whe most likely turned into smack crack pipes nothing at all to do withe rebelling and the vult status of Chicago Houae & Detroit's Techno leading to Northern Acid House Hacienda Acid Head - Revolutionarys.. .
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.
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😂
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!
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.
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 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
'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.
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.
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
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.
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 🤞
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
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 used to take Bubble Rings💍💍that opened at the top to reveal the wand thing you blow the bubbles through. Used to get them in Tesco 10 for a quid from the kids party decoration aisle. They were great for stashing a few personals as well💊💊🚬. People loved them & it was a tiny part of a very big thing, great times❤. Never got any grapes though, that is quality👍😎🇬🇧
I just turned 50 and I caught the end of real MDMA in 88-89. I was a competitive gymnast and had no interest in drugs. However, my best friend talked me into trying ecstasy. I could go on all day about how incredible that first time was and all the times later throughout 1989. It wasn’t all good though. While you really couldn’t get addicted to it like other drugs it still jacked up your body. I lost a ton of weight over the summer of 89 and at the end of it I’d had enough. That said, some of those nights taking it with a bunch of friends, doing stupid shit because EVERYTHING felt amazing and everyone was in the best moods of their life and best friends lol was something I don’t regret. Add to that the music and the clubs playing crazy awesome acid house bands like Lords of Acid or DJ’s making it up live at Club A in Dallas. I’ve thought about it over the years but know it would never feel the same. Even if it was the exact same real MDMA. At 17-18 I had no real responsibilities and I had no concern about fixing whatever problems taking EX brought about. Ex can’t overcome 30 years of living. Lastly I’ll say that while I don’t regret taking it, it would have been better if I hadn’t.
One of the purpose was to get in the groove and through dancing, the sound, the beat and the vibes to reach an estatic state of trance and that was feasible without taking any drug.
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'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.
It was amazing mate I know all about it but I’m scared to tell my kids about it man it was my time and a bit to risky these day but the best time of my life I’m in a band that plays 60s music know and it’s rocking
Dave Cook you can't tell anyone about it and have them understand. It's more than just the music it's that place in time and space where the music escalates to that high point and you look over to your friends and see the joy glaring back at you and for that moment the emotion is so great you feel that your brain can't take it. You can't ever describe that to anyone who wasn't there. I live a very different life now but those experiences (92 to 97)helped make me what I am, they change you. So in a way the effects of those days never really ended.
Dave Cook I’m 32 and wish I was at these raves were everything and everyone was chill and having a fucking good time now it’s just we fannys in town at clubs think there big men and woman it’s little children lol
Who cared about style of dance just that you were doing what the music and drugs spiritually made your body want to do for each individual that helped release their tension and unblocked energy lines within your body and with each other
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......👍😜😎
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.
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

And the music at the end was not acid house.
FOR US. BY US. It was ours. We rocked. We rolled. E's and whizz. Throw in a bit of acid and boom. This is all a bit elementary party people. If you lived through the raving 90's you were truly blessed. You would look forward to EVERY single weekend. No aggro. The music was fucking amazing. Nuff said
you could not put into words the fun we had ;-) Centreforce88.3 keep it locked
Swift Cee my dad said the same (HE was young back then)
1988 and double dip strawberry blotters all i can say
87-91 original New Yorkers and window panes I hate that term Rave that was the beginning of the end

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.
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😂
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'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.
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.
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?
@@beauchamphuberville1355 Rave Dance moves... :)
Bob the bloody builder!!!!😂🙈🙈

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...
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
This looks so much fun...I wish life was like this again..
Matt Johns yes definitely
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
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..😂
1988 i was 10 ..when all this started up ...I used to live this music 1988-2002,, was golden years raving clubbing..I do miss em...
'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.
90s, best RAVE music times EVER 👍🏻
A lot of grateful hugs to those who jumped the pond (1992/93)and played the parties in S.F. Amazing times.
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.
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.
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

"Doc, screw 1964. Can the time machine get us in 92' ?"
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.
linear
10:16 it was like beeing in my family, i really belonged, i never get that sense of belonging anywhere else.... She nailed it
Drugs and dancing. Even when the music stopped the body kept on moving... and there were zero fights in my experience.
Don't let people who've never been to a rave or got high make a documentary about "acid house"
i'm so pleased to have played my part in this culture
I hit it too when entering the Astoria for the first time for a rave. It was crazy energy.
Wow. The good old days of rave party's. I sure did, my fare share of Ecstasy.
Lol me too...
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
90s were the best dayz!!
Haha that guy spraying water on all the gurners was a comical moment. 😀
After the 1994 CJA, the rave spirit continued as Free Parties and Soundsystems and they still do.
Best days of life traveling up n down the country loved every min of it the ectasy was brilliant
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 🤞
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.
The jaws hanging off the lads in the toilet 😂😂
1:40 This is Acid Man - Mark Blair
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.
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.
you can hear the age of love in the background.... great track of this period
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 😂
Ah those were the days.... 91-2007 for me x
That track in the middle really brings me back. ❤😊
What a time to be alive :) Glad I was part of it :)
Society needs a good dose of acid house revelry today.....
The good old days! Loved every minute of it
I used to take Bubble Rings💍💍that opened at the top to reveal the wand thing you blow the bubbles through. Used to get them in Tesco 10 for a quid from the kids party decoration aisle. They were great for stashing a few personals as well💊💊🚬. People loved them & it was a tiny part of a very big thing, great times❤. Never got any grapes though, that is quality👍😎🇬🇧
I just turned 50 and I caught the end of real MDMA in 88-89. I was a competitive gymnast and had no interest in drugs. However, my best friend talked me into trying ecstasy. I could go on all day about how incredible that first time was and all the times later throughout 1989. It wasn’t all good though. While you really couldn’t get addicted to it like other drugs it still jacked up your body. I lost a ton of weight over the summer of 89 and at the end of it I’d had enough. That said, some of those nights taking it with a bunch of friends, doing stupid shit because EVERYTHING felt amazing and everyone was in the best moods of their life and best friends lol was something I don’t regret. Add to that the music and the clubs playing crazy awesome acid house bands like Lords of Acid or DJ’s making it up live at Club A in Dallas. I’ve thought about it over the years but know it would never feel the same. Even if it was the exact same real MDMA. At 17-18 I had no real responsibilities and I had no concern about fixing whatever problems taking EX brought about. Ex can’t overcome 30 years of living. Lastly I’ll say that while I don’t regret taking it, it would have been better if I hadn’t.
A great time to be young, I can't believe I'm nearly 50
a surge of energy. more like surge of acid and ex. those mitsubishi and tt's back then. 💥💥💥
One of the purpose was to get in the groove and through dancing, the sound, the beat and the vibes to reach an estatic state of trance and that was feasible without taking any drug.
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.
Voodoo ray!! Perfect.
Sooo lucky we grew up doing this! Not a camera phone in sight, thank fuck 😅😂❤
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
Age of love....get in!

in my 50's now been enjoyed the days of being part of the chemical generation . it was fantastic
Those were the good times.
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 those days. Everyone mixed together. Happy happy days
I still listen to my house music all the time
Wish I was raving instead of being responsible but I’m 48 ffs
Dave Cook me too. The vast majority of people never even got a chance to experience it. At least we were there, that's a very big deal.
It was amazing mate I know all about it but I’m scared to tell my kids about it man it was my time and a bit to risky these day but the best time of my life I’m in a band that plays 60s music know and it’s rocking
Dave Cook you can't tell anyone about it and have them understand. It's more than just the music it's that place in time and space where the music escalates to that high point and you look over to your friends and see the joy glaring back at you and for that moment the emotion is so great you feel that your brain can't take it. You can't ever describe that to anyone who wasn't there.
I live a very different life now but those experiences (92 to 97)helped make me what I am, they change you. So in a way the effects of those days never really ended.
Listen to keath Flint the rave year if you haven’t already mate
Dave Cook I’m 32 and wish I was at these raves were everything and everyone was chill and having a fucking good time now it’s just we fannys in town at clubs think there big men and woman it’s little children lol
Who cared about style of dance just that you were doing what the music and drugs spiritually made your body want to do for each individual that helped release their tension and unblocked energy lines within your body and with each other
Oooo when the age of love came on the chills came flowing down my spine
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
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......👍😜😎
"two or three times hotter than it's supposed to be" is between 74 and 111 celsius lolllllll
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.
Lived,loved,lost,lamented!😉There was a time when rock n roll was sleazy,but then it got clean and happy!(Acidrock)😉😁✌
