I live in London. What the majority of people who were not there don't understand is the rave scene pretty much wiped out racism and helped end hooligan violence. I was there in a club where every colour was there, dancing alongside skin heads and NF members. It was full of people from football firms. And no one gave, or wanted any trouble. In fact they would normally be sat chatting with one another throughout the night becoming friends. You'd be given water by complete strangers. The music was new, the scene was new and it was our time. It will never happen again. If you were not there, you truly cannot understand. A video doesn't show it, the music was just a small part of it, and the memories people try to convey will never do it justice. We were the lucky ones.
I'm 55, and was a BBoy in 82-86, then got into the Acid House scene, which led me into the early 90-93 Rave scene. What a time to be alive. Unfortunately, a lot of younger people think 93 onwards was 'Rave' music, and don't really understand what the real scene in it's earliest form, was about, and why it was different. The Criminal Justice Bill killed the real Rave scene, and from 94 onwards, what was left, was not as good. It was simply huge commercial money-making companies, putting huge legal events on. 90-93 was the genuine Rave era, nothing could compare. Raves are not organised, legal, dance music events in a nightclub, and the original Ravers know the coo.
Loved the B.Y.O back in day and had a good few smokes on the bus outside, but my main event was Uprising from Portahouse Retford and Adelphi Sheffield had some amazing times, still got a good few tapes but sold loads on ebay. Times have changed bro but it did get a lot of people on gear after event tho, good video again paddy.
I was born in '81 so when the rave scene was in full swing - I wasn't old enough to participate 😞. But we had an old Salvation Army here in Liverpool and every Fri night from 7-10, there was an under 18's mini rave. Sold ice pops and cup drinks and space raider crisp. Anyway, MC Cyanide used to MC there, Lee Butler would DJ there and it was just a boss time 🎉. 2funky2, ASHA Tribute, Force and Styles, Junior...great memories 😊 There's a music festival called Reminisce by us today. Half the population of Liverpool are going. My head would cave in now. My brain couldn't take the crowds and I'd just flop 😂
Yeah we used to come from Lancaster to Blackburn evry week in a massive bright green van, we called it the green rizzla. But yeah we'd go to all them places, and meet up at charnock Richard and get a mass convoy to the warehouse party. Ha ha 😆😆 top rockin mate 👌💯. 😊, I was born in 73.
The early 90s tablets, burgers, disco biscuits, were summat else, and you'd only need 1, and clubs were different, I've left some clubs looking like I've wet myself lol, and thhat was 2008ish😂😂
I was 12 in 93 but was mega into hardcore. Used to record Stu Allen Live at Doncaster warehouse on key 103 with MC Connie. Still a gabber head now 30 years later haha
The rave seen was the best days of my life before my addiction uprising was fantastic Mate a couple of Mitsubishi and I wanted to love everyone nats and Marcus was my favorite ❤👍
I know what you mean. I used to do loads of raves back in the early/mid 90's. I went to dozens of them, and only see trouble once, and that was at Bagleys nightclub in london, when the jungle scene started taking over, but the trouble was between 2 rival gangs, (probably over drug dealing rights to the club) not once did i ever see a bouncer kick someone out of a club or rave for violence. Maybe seen people kicked out for being sick and too out of their nut, or maybe outsiders selling drugs without the bouncers permission or tax, but apart from that one incident i never saw anyone fighting, and all these places were filled with thousands of young people, and all these young people were nodding and saying "hello to each other", yet none of them knew eachother. You could just strike up a random conversation with someone in the chillout room, and people wouldnt stone wall you like people would do today. Totally different times, and i am glad i was there to witness it.
A kid where I live used to always get bullied when he went for a drink locally, the same meathead would always knock him about, thought he was a hard man. The kid knew MC Natz, and his security went and sorted the bully out. Donny Warehouse was always a bit fast for me, I preferred house and used to go to Cream at Liverpool. Back in ‘93 the pills were expensive, £25 but they were proper, they later got a lot cheaper and ended up being adulterated with all sorts of derivatives and mongy stuff. The security in there were top notch, I once saw some muppet punch a random kid at the bar and the security guy ran up and downed him with a proper Streetfighter 2 spinning leg sweep. Happy days.
I lived locally and went to the Pleasuredome at Fantasy Island near Skeggy. I thought it was a cheesy, happy hardcore, nasty chav place. To be fair, it wasn't around in the real rave era, and instead came later when the scene was dead. There much better 'real' raves before then, in the area, a free-party PA crew put on proper illegal raves on the coast, in the middle between Mabo and Skeg. Now that was proper.
You just described my youth growing up in Donny. I had all those experiences and loved it all, fabulous memories, still listen to those tunes and get the good vibes. ❤🎉
I was just a little to young when the byo was in its hay day but I did get to see the madness of the after party my friends mum went every weekend there house was crazy every Sunday
U can hear warehouse banging from some of the wings in hmp doncaster....mad av bin raving in warehouse ....and sometimes ravin in donkatraz!!!!! Hahaha
Love your content mate & your so right with what your saying all the way through this vid. Also I totally agree with you, how could you stab someone up on pi!!s? When pills where proper, even if your watch was trying to be taken... Anywaz love the content 👍 1❤
91 was when warehouse opened.. October i think.. i went in December & back then it was bangin.. by 93 that whole scene wasnt up to much to be honest (destruction was ok, bit rough tbh)
You know when you're a kid and they have ex cons come in and tell stories to the kids so they behave themselves..imagine this was Ians ten minutes hahahaha. "It was the best time of my life and I wish I could get it back" 😂😂
Bet you were up ont one of them beer barrels Ian , we were there at Donny warehouse, your right about going into a time warp , hours lasted minutes , we got the car stereo nicked one weekend , but we were still happy cos there was a nine bar int glove box , and they didn’t even find it !
Before the warehouse just opened we were going to leeds warehouse and rickys, started off on the acid .(a bit freaky to be honest) But eventually got on the pills as you do,when donny opened we used to go there every weekend,couldn't wait for Saturday night's and sundays at the hacienda. Would get home late sunday afternoon and straight to bed hoping you could sleep for work monday mornings.HAPPY DAYS
Same here they were £20 in 1991 1992 so to start off we did acid and speed, start in town with older lads, I was 16 , my name is slightly altered here for stalker reasons. Did you remember the Vicks loonies ? Yes after the raves with stolen vehicles buses even
Vicks vapour rub ! I never went that far but in 1992 I double dropped two phase 4s in byo and nearly died! Coming up I was hallucinating with massive-build up I quickly went to the toilet to die in peace threw up and ended up outside but was later back in. Ps I kept some flyers and I have all the tapes! Note doing drugs is considered witchcraft to the lord ! So I would rather die than take an aspirin these days !
I recall it killed football violence for years, we’d turn up at a match ready for a row and recognise a firm from a party somewhere. Having shared a spiritual experience made it impossible to go at it!😆 we’d get chatting instead! Much to the anger of the older generation of casuals who simply didn’t understand it all🤬
Ha ha 😆, I was gonna say that, I'm from Lancaster and we'd have it with Morecambe, in the day and then hugging and partying a year or two later. Crazy times but really we're the best time's. Aaaccciieeeddd, 😊.
Hope yer good Patrick sham Oh I was born 75 i was there in the rave scene it started in Blackburn just a few miles from me. Amazing times in warehouses service stations convoys Park hall love shack Monroe's Maximes Angels Hackets Eclipse Wigan Pier DJ Sasha Stu Allen Vertigo Paul Taylor Carl Cox
And just while we're on it. I remember coming home from a rave so the best of the night was already done & I had a 4 month puppy & when I got in it had sh!t all round me flat it stunk but you think I could tell the dog of😂😂😂 no chance anywaz yh, 1❤
Best days of my life too Paddy hope your well, i struggle with crippling anxiety too mate qhen i go to doctors all they do is throw anti depressants at me cos of my drug abuse history discrimination mate hate it
@@JoshJackson-lq7tj one of my favourite tapes was stu allen jdwalker and natz halfway through mark dunkans mum came to the door to demand her son back 😂 he'd sneaked into the rave
Paddy u wanna see how many different ecky names there is, there's been about twenty named on here, mitzys for me mate or dove's, but then my cousin used to get shit loads of MDMA in rock form, looks a bit like crack. 😊
Good times, no doubt. Was there from the beginning(south coast), full time raver. With the benefit of hindsight, it desensitised a whole generation to regular drug, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just a shame about all the mental health issues, constantly dealing with the authorities on one side and violent organised crime groups on the other, and creeping habit of using smack to come down. After Castlemorton ect and the criminal justice act when life started looking a lot less fluffy, people got more into crack and smack which slowly took over every town and city. Ultimately, a good time was had by all, but we just created MORE laws, more rules and regulations, and Less freedoms , all that marching, dancing and demonstrating and the world still became a shitter place. Oh well, good while it lasted. Peace
