[djjoshb]

i hate 2011

[qb4hilmar]

haha fantazia is my last name

[bodthemod69]

Don't want to rain on anyone's rave but when you look at the acid house 88/89 clips in comparison. this all looks a bit like "/brought to you by coca cola please rave responsibly"

[test1ist]

3:30 the 3 year old girl getting the birthday mc business, quite funny, but agree not really old enough to be there around several thousand gurners.... do i have to ring social services lol?!

[eXPerienceyeah]

Brings a lump to my throat. Incredible days.

[bootyboy1982]

the 3 year old at near the end is a bit rough i wouldnt let my 3 year out there where the parents off their head? lol she would be 22or23 now bet she dont even know shes on here

[bootyboy1982]

i use to be able to watch fantazia when they did castle donington out my bedroom window from fukin miles away i was only 10 wish id ov been able to go but still got the vibe and enjoyment even from the window. love the old rave scene

[NicoleSheehan1]

What a night that was - can't believe it was 19 years ago though! Remember it so well - there were fireworks when we were queuing to go in and I remember the dragon vividly plus the little girls birthday at the end.

Also remember when everyone was sitting chilling in the car park afterwards having a party and you could hear the race cars starting up on the tracks!

I have a longer video of this night somewhere (about an hour or so I think) and will try and get it on here if I can.

[lihomer1]

remember this night like it was yesterday - the little girls birthday at the end and then the amnesia of getting home but still didn't beat Fantasia Bournmouth 2 months before - had to be the best rave ever - wicked wicked times :))))))))))

[lihomer1]

good good times - wish could go back just for one night....123 go missing

[spencercaronalfie]

raves were dead at this point..........too comercial and full o dicks in white gloves and mobs tryin to look like dealers!!!....fact!!!!

[djredeye1974]

raves will never be the same as these partys

[WAYINMYBRAIN]

WER GOT LOT'S OF SPACE NOW RUSH AROUND, OLD SKOOL ALL THE WAY

[naturesuphoria]

Awesome video! Please keep me posted...

[FLICKY37]

i remember going to this event and then watching it be repeated on the news the next day... with my parents..never realised thats why the helicopters were there etc lol

it was withought doubt the best rave night i have ever been too...and trust me i went to many...it stood to be the largest ever rave gathering in britain..29,000 people overall...i am a very proud to of been there...i shall go to my grave with a gig fantazia smile on my face :)

[MrSpardas]

[djredeye1974]

[MrSpardas]

@djredeye1974 i was still a twinkle in dads split condom, actually i was 6 but this is the best rave music there is end of , i grew up on boom , boom ,boom ,boom , wish i was there looks proper phat makes me dance like a loon (Cober)

[jaybezza1]

them were the days XD

[mainadapter]

Haha good party, always remember laughing at the drugs amnesty buckets at the gate, did any dozy sod put aything in lol.

They used some clips from this for an ecstasy documentry on BBC2 and I remember watching it with my mum and younger sister eating our tea when me and my mates face filled the screen looking pretty mashed.

Good times.

[markyruss]

The sort of people that go on holiday and complain that there are too many fish in the sea, f u c k em.... do an " e " i say

[MrPfd]

4 dislikes, why? Some people need to get a life, if you input Fantazia expect rave unless you were looking for mickey mouse and spelt it wrong.

Dickheads

[theforgoten6]

first of all, i could cry watching the video. second, can anyone pls ID the first track of the video with the voice shouting? i used to adore this track

[djhillfinger]

@theforgoten6 dj rap devine rhythm my friend

[JamiePoc]

Mad night I was right at the front when ratpack came out down that draw bridge, great night

[eXPerienceyeah]

Fuck, he mixes "DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer - Just Wanna Hold You Tight" in this mix somewhere (not this part lol) but I want the ID on the tune he mixes after that, MC says "oh rush rush rush, rush all the time" or words to that effect with a killer bass line after, never have known what that tune was called, with 112,900 views maybe someone here has the tape and knows... how many Fantazia Ratpack 1992 tapes are there, come on!

[AmberIsTheBestXx]

In complete darkness we are all the same........ I miss the old days

[djhillfinger]

@AmberIsTheBestXx it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.

[gav44]

[MrDORSETBOY]

@MrCraigyboy6969 Happy days my friend - we were part of something special and nothjing has ever come close since !

Hardcore, you know the score...........

[MrCraigyboy6969]

@MrDORSETBOY Yeah you're right! I started going out in 1991 and feel lucky that we got to have such amazing experiences and meet so many people. Happy days indeed. You can get loads of these old raves from the Fantazia website, think I'll have to invest in some...

[72hardcore]

dj seduction--come on

[WeNjIbOo]

lol that kid must have been freaked out. thousands of gurnin faces staring at her trying to figure out whether they are actually seeing a kid or just trippin.

[tallgooner]

Can't believe they've got a 3 year old kid on stage in the middle of all that mayhem, that would be a case for social services nowadays.

[hellonpluto]

@tallgooner nothing like the old days

[ThehypeUK]

@tallgooner

[sneezymonkey]

@tallgooner

Haha yeah you're probs right but i'd let my kids do it! I'd reckon theres more happy faces there than you'd see in a local supermarket LOL

[crystalraverbaby]

@tallgooner

that little girl is me... shut up dickhead

[andycmac]

@crystalraverbaby

nuff respect for that,i was there near the front and i remember you, is your mum one of the dancers?

[TheDazbruce]

@tallgooner i dont know as social services are crap as most public services anyway least keep an eye well dilated eye on him lolol

[TheDazbruce]

@tallgooner i dont know as social services are crap as most public services anyway least keep an eye well dilated eye on her lolol i never seen or remember her but i was dancing all night on mars

[nathanjh13]

I was there too, I remember little of it but I remember having a great time that whole era! Excellent, thanks for posting.

[nathanjh13]

This was in a time before 'white trash' and 'chav' existed, people having fun in a field. Bring it back. Hey thanks to all the breweries leaning on parliament that then muscled through the criminal justice act and put a stop to all the fun (while you're in a field you're not in a pub you see) the swines.

[marshgatelaneposse]

not wrong my friend

[sfissure]

I liked the KIcks Like A Mule"mix it wasn't poo.

[binnie1979crasher]

can anyone name the tune that cums in at 3 mins into it please ????????????

[GooseTrammel]

Sounds like Awesome 3 - Don't Go

[JoNN1E71]

it is awesome 3 - dont go

[EnglishStan]

It's Awesome 3 - Don't Go. I think it's the Original MIx. There was a "KIcks Like A Mule"mix but that was poo.

Third Dimension made a track in 1996 mixed by The Rhythm Masters. This is teh one to look out for. Bar far the best version.

[50lbagram]

Yeah, proper curtain haircuts! There was also a motorbike race meeting the next day, it was bad enough coming down from several cally splits, let alone having to listen to bikes going round a track for 3 hours!

[oldskoolnutter76]

your mate lost his car keys ;o) we lost the car at diehard ! found it after 15 mins of panic. it was down another street. could have swear we didnt park it there though ;o) thats when disco biscuits were good and centre partins were shocking ! hehe

[swettybettybob]

who the fuck takes a 3 year old to a rave??!!! i bet that girl ended up a smackhead

[50lbagram]

This party brings back good and bad memorys, amazing rave, amazing music and djs, only problem being my mate lost his car keys and we had to wait all day Sunday for his dad to bring up the spare keys from the south coast cos he was going out that day. He left at 7pm, got to us at 11pm and we got home at 3am Monday!! But well worth it in the end. This party seems like an age ago, I was 18 and single, now I'm 35 and married with 2 kids!!! But so glad I lived through that era!!!!

[lifeatbowlers]

Remember this very well,we travelled down from carlisle was a nightmare getting there but was well worth it!!!

[MrTrooper74]

Hardcore we knew the score!!! oi oi!!!

[MCFCRuss]
