I am completely amazed that this video exists. My cousin was killed almost two months to the day after he and I attended this Festival in 1998 and I found him in this video dancing as he was one of the best dancers I've ever seen in my life and his mom actually send me the clips yesterday and said that his daughter's mom had actually found the clips of him dancing. I don't know who recorded this and I don't know why they posted it to you too but I am so glad that they did. whoever you are thank you so much for giving me one more chance to watch him dance. it has been almost 20 years since he was killed in a car wreck but this video just gave me one last chance to see him dancing. we had no cell phones and videos of him just don't exist besides this. thank you whoever you are who posted this video.
Was there. I went with my boy and our GF’s. Fist time rolling, on crowns. What a awesome night. Before the show was over we headed back to our hotel, Red Roof Inn and partied until 10 am. To be 20 and in 1998 again.
Brother man what do you think I live in Hillsboro county Tampa versus Orlando Orlando wins I think every time in the 90s!!!! That trip down I-4 at 10 AM was a beast. 😂
Ah yes the 90s. No better time to be alive. I was the sole reason a whole County in South Florida hospitals had to lock up their nitrous tanks. Bad decisions and great memories
Wow- this jogs some great memories. . . this was by far the best Zen fest for me. When they started doing them in Miami - I thought it suffered especially when it went indoors.
I had just started as a freshman at university of Miami. Befriended a kid who would always rollerblade through Miami and was from Venice(?). I had a car. He had tickets and tabs and friends. I’ll never forget that Rabbit in the Moon set along with St o many other great memories
Dude can I PLEASE have this video???? I found my daughter's father in it dancing. He passed away around 3 months after this was taken. I knew he went to this festival and I've searched this video probably 10-15 times looking for him over the past year....just hoping he somehow got filmed here and to get a glimpse of him again! I cannot believe he is in this video...I just really cant believe it!
I had tickets to attend this with my brother and my sister, I never got to go in. It was my 21st Birthday, I went to Land O Lakes Detention Center instead 😂 Thank you for finally giving a glimpse of what should have been my Birthday celebration.
I was there!! Best time of my life!!!!! The tent with the hoses with holes in them was my favorite spot. Rolling on double stack Mitsubishi’s and triple tweeties!! When I ran out people just gave me some of theirs!! I shared a few of mine which is why I ran out early! I met so many awesome people. Me and girl (just friends) had a blast! This is when being home in Florida was a good time. Ruined my jnco’s and my car got stuck in the mud when we went to leave. Dancing in mud was awesome too! Man if I go back to that time. I was 18! Edit Add question: ANYONE ELSE BESIDES ME CAME WITH SHOES AND LEFT WITHOUT EITHER ONE OF THEM OR BOTH BECAUSE OF THE MUD??? YEA, I LOST ONE OF MY SHOES IN THE MUD SOMEWHERE AND ENDED UP JUST KICKING OFF THE OTHER! DROVE ALL THE WAY BACK TO WINTER GARDEN (AFTER I HAD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE HELP ME AND MY HONEGIRL GET MY CAR UNSTUCK FROM THE MUD) WITHOUT ANY SHOES ON! To the person who recorded this: Thanks man!! It's good to know the memories I had were true and not made up from being f'd up the whole time. I remember the green lights big time and remember staring at it when it was like 5-6 rows of them, just mezmorized by them!! How many people and the huge field being able to see and hear everything from way in the back too. I still have my bracelet from that night in my memory box, just went into it to get it out and remember. Thx so much man for this. I've saved it. One day Ill share with my kids about it. My daughter is almost 21 and I want her to experience good times like this (minus the x) but core memories while shes young. My son is only 14, so ain't telling him nothing yet.
4th annual Zen Festival, good timez. Still think '07 had better line-up, with Rabbit in the Moon, Sasha, Josh Wink & King Britt, Keoki, Cosmic Baby, John Digweed, Goldie & Rob Playford, K5, AK1200, Rob-E, Andy Hughes, Sandy and D-Xtreme
Christina Wood this was my first Festival that I had gone to myself although my cousin and I often went to the Rave clubs that were around during that time and no longer exist here in Tallahassee Florida. We were so muddy when we left Zen Fest that we literally left the clothes we were wearing in the parking lot. He died November 7th that same year and I just found him dancing in this video and I have not been able to stop watching it
This is the first time I've ventured to see, this, I produced it, I was busted trafficking x and special k, on siesta key, where I lived, spent a long while in prison, I had a complete pro set of disks of the show, bills, my layout, letters to djs, lawsuits from the county, so much more! I lost it all with my house on the beach, I moved on to ultra after this, love all of you!roll on!
Wow! How cool! I'm Sonic of SINAMEN SKUNK. We played this gig and Zen 97. I'm sure you didn't get footage of us cause we played at the same time as the Crystal Method. If you have more footage, please let me know. Thanks for this. ✌
1:42 to (1:55 ITS CAROL FUCKIN BASKIN!!!! glimpse) . I was at this event and took pictures with " BIG CAT RESCUE" and we paid them. Just saying she did it.
Started to blow up needed to sit down found the only dry spot in the corner of one of the tents. It was a huge fire ant pile. Still had fun.I forgave the ants.
Was there with Jeff Paymaster (Rainbow Bridge). I was tore up, beyond humanity. Had like 20 caps in my back pocket, fell into a coma, and somebody spilled water on stage, all over my ass. Pills destroyed, party went on. Not sure what happened after that. Oh wait, there was this disabled dude with a bangin ass bass van we chilled at for a minute. Or I dreamed it? Oh those days!
That's Fort Myers family Jeff Paymaster! Man these were the absolute best times of my life from 94 to 2000. From Club Space in Miami on up to Simons in chill. The edge Otown 1509 Ybor. Chris's Graham Fort Myers was part of the birth of Zen festival in Orlando. Man we were family back then so much unity and love good vibes. Anytime I listen to this era of music I'm in total recall of euphoria and my own Zen. Peace and love to all my people from back in the day. T Tyler
We walked up in advance to peruse security. They were checking EVERYTHING but socks. The advantages of age and experience. Polk Co wasn't playing at those checkpoints.
I was born in 75 but I’m so glad I was around to enjoy the Ahhz Firestone, I just hate that we didn’t document it I wish I still had one of those wafers big speckled bastards 96 to 97 or eight I really don’t remember!!! No fights just love!!!!! Tampa vs Orlando fatality Orlando wins
Ahhz, Firestone, The Edge, battle of the b Boys at the byob club after parties that Eli threw... so many good times. Remember Firestone wall to wall people, the fire marshal would come and try to close them down. Craziness!
@@tdp247 I think I was there one of the fire chief nights but I’m primarily spent most of my time in the ahhzz!!! I had a major hook up with big fat wafers back in the day!!! I’m just happy that I was around to enjoy that 90s love decade it felt like between that mushrooms and acid and I barely remember the 90s lol other than I graduated in 92
That was a great night! I remember a bus full of people who had been caught with drugs. They just placed them on a bus outside until they were ready to take them in.
I remember I missed the timing to hook up with my friends to go to this. I ended up going to another Rave though anyways and they ended up losing their car and spent three days up there stranded dehydrated and completely fucked.
i was there it was i bfe and it was raining at times and i could not find my car it was great my wife was pregnant and sober so i drank lots of extra water for her
Awwwwww Yeah ... SMURFS were fun for everyone. Even made FL breaks tolerable. The camra is kinda wonkie but is that Joe C & Chris Milo standing behind Josh Wink... funny
Christopher Sinni my cousin and I detailed cars and tinted windows at the time and we had until 5 to get to final fever in Tallahassee to get our VIP passes and we were way out in Monticello doing our last job of the day and literally got to vinyl fever at 4:55 and just barely got our VIP passes and did not even have time to score any beans or anything else and drove down there empty-handed and in the line to get into the place we bought 15 triple stack Mitsubishi and 9 hits of acid and a gram and a half of Special K and it ended up being literally one of the best nights of my life. And he died November 7th that year but he is in this video dancing his ass off and I can't quit watching it over and over.
Rabbit in the Moon, Keoki, BT, Josh Wink, The Crystal Method, AK1200, UberZone, etc.... All at this event... "Just a dude who played records...." MmmmK GTFOH... lol And I wish there were cellphones back then with the quality of recording that we have nowadays. There would be quality videos of this event to watch now and reminisce. To each their own.
I am completely amazed that this video exists. My cousin was killed almost two months to the day after he and I attended this Festival in 1998 and I found him in this video dancing as he was one of the best dancers I've ever seen in my life and his mom actually send me the clips yesterday and said that his daughter's mom had actually found the clips of him dancing.

World Famous Reviews my deepest condolences, but that must be very special to relive his memory. I wonder where he is in the video?
What time stamp is he in?
What’s the time stamp???
I was there
one of the best nights of my life!!!!!

@@michaelviens2894 yes nights at Firestone fond but foggy memories
Florida was so dope then!!
I was there! We had an amazing time.... until the sun came up. Wonderful memories.
Ah yes the 90s. No better time to be alive. I was the sole reason a whole County in South Florida hospitals had to lock up their nitrous tanks. Bad decisions and great memories
2 1/2 peaches and a dbl stack mitsubishi. I got a glimpse of the afterlife in heaven and i know i will see it again someday.
10 gel tabs and triple stacked smurfs whoaaa watch out now was a 72hr day for me and man was it great the after parties were going off for days
Wow- this jogs some great memories. . . this was by far the best Zen fest for me. When they started doing them in Miami - I thought it suffered especially when it went indoors.

I went to this one and the 1999 Zen festival in Miami!
I had just started as a freshman at university of Miami. Befriended a kid who would always rollerblade through Miami and was from Venice(?). I had a car. He had tickets and tabs and friends. I’ll never forget that Rabbit in the Moon set along with St o many other great memories
Definitely one of the best events I've been to. Just glad the car didn't get stuck in the mud. WOW Anyone remember Technobabble in G'ville?
Yes
Yes
I still have the VHS from that show! Loved Simons in G'ville too
Thanks for sharing. I caught the tail end of the scene in central Florida in 2002. It was a beautiful thing.
One of the largest crowds I ever played for. Thanks for the memories...

We walked up in advance to peruse security. They were checking EVERYTHING but socks. The advantages of age and experience. Polk Co wasn't playing at those checkpoints.
So many cars got stuck. Many ended up in ditches still in the parking lot.
I was born in 75 but I’m so glad I was around to enjoy the Ahhz Firestone, I just hate that we didn’t document it I wish I still had one of those wafers big speckled bastards 96 to 97 or eight I really don’t remember!!! No fights just love!!!!! Tampa vs Orlando fatality Orlando wins

WHY IS THERE A GUY ON A SMART PHONE AT THE 51:09 MARK?!?!?!?
Dude that’s really fucking weird. Time traveler maybe
wtf crazy. But I mean if you were a time traveler, could you think of a better time and place to visit?
♥♥♥♥
I remember I missed the timing to hook up with my friends to go to this. I ended up going to another Rave though anyways and they ended up losing their car and spent three days up there stranded dehydrated and completely fucked.
I was at the Zen Festival in 1998 Bayfront park Miami. Does anyone have videos of that one????
I don’t, I have some ultra beach fest from the 90’s and ultra from 2001 but not zen 98 Miami. Didn’t even know about it
They had that dude taking people up in his hot air balloon fucking nuts
I can't even believe I found this. This was my first and wow is all I can say. I saw "shooting stars" and was safe.
Freakfest Nola was fn sweet too

Josh wink I have not heard that name in a minute holy smokes. “ Kimball Collins”
Was this muddy zen?

And he died November 7th that year but he is in this video dancing his ass off and I can't quit watching it over and over.
I always wondered how many squirrels died as a result of that insane laser firing into the woods all night
That was back when the DJ was just a dude who played records for everyone.
and thankfully in a time before the cell phone paparazzi existed
Rabbit in the Moon, Keoki, BT, Josh Wink, The Crystal Method, AK1200, UberZone, etc.... All at this event... "Just a dude who played records...." MmmmK GTFOH... lol
And I wish there were cellphones back then with the quality of recording that we have nowadays. There would be quality videos of this event to watch now and reminisce. To each their own.
