[mozyid]

Eat Burgott airfield how could i ever forget after circling the m25 for 5 hours and arriving at 7am!.......leaving the car in a traffic jam on a country lane....mental mental chicken oriental!

[debi1405]

i was there is started the next morning and went onto sunday night, wicked

[40bokon]

too, too funny best years of my life..

[frankiebones01]

We all got stuck off the A12 while the old bill tried to block off all the access roads.

That did somehow get us all stuck in a major traffic situation when one lane country roads became two lanes of cars looking for a rave. I'm melting in the back of Tim Taylor's car, the car in front is playing one of my Bonesbreaks and the one behind playing a track by Lenny & me, and some Yardie runs by and tells everyone to turn around to go to a road that is passable. It was dawn when we got there.

[ribbsy237]

I remember this one too frankie,i was stuck in wansted snooker hall with a load of pals till the early hours cause the police kept blocking the rave.ohhh the memories.ive got all your old 12's. you still doing music frankie.the old sounds still sound fresh today.Ribbsy p.s. 43 and still lovin it.kids ,house,business.never did me any harm.

[cytoair1]

Took 2 1/2 hours to find it...got soaking wet feet...moody E's and ended up getting nicked and taken back to the old bill station and stealing a floresecent police flat jacket...after we got outta there we went to DJ Squirrels house and crashed through the door with the jacket on...shoulda seen their faces.....lol!

[tylesmoore]

as a squaddy in colly at the time and bang into the scene, wowo what a great doooooo.......

[20Jayman]

This was i Raydon near Ipswich

[deepshizzol]

i was at this rave and remember it like yesterday, didnt get there till 6am wich was a diff expierience to the other raves I had been too ie. Sunrise, Biology ect. Will never forget that rave Amazing is all i can say!! And one of the reasons this will never happen again is becuase of peeps arguing with peeps the ynever even set eyes on. Stuff like this takes alot of hard work team work and respect which not many youngsters have these days, they all out for them selves!

[Slight22wi]

All you guys thanks for the great nights, what an awesome time we had. Im a bloody old git now but hearing this stuff still makes me grin from ear to ear. Anyone use to go to the Astoria in London for Sin?

[sonykid71]

man good times

[aaronuk73]

Holy shit!! remember this one, spent most of the night on top of the car on the M-25 until we finally got there. Dropped some crazy LSD had a mad vampire trip, then dropped a pink Cali and danced my nuts off!!! Great times. Got back to London by the promoters of Back to Life. Thanks 20 odd years later !!

[1LadiesLove3]

I'm sure thats swifty and he still wears that green hoodie? lol .. right good night though, plenty of slaaaagggggs. lol

[TheWoodsta2]

@1LadiesLove3 would that be swifty from clacton

[SynchroEurope]

One reason why this couldnt happen again....health and safety , and big business ,

[shannooonnnlumbaardd]

my dad was there dancing on the speakers he said it was the tops!

[harrylime22]

Ha ha yeah it was a great day !!!!!

[AcidTekno303]

Is your dad Mark from Langley ? if so tell him Scotsman says hello & I remember him dancing on those speakers the loon

[alexdace5472]

i was there too, dancing on the artic full of speakers, what a day, nice lake, shame about the car fire.

[SuperMickeyo]

I was there harrylime. Would say it was a top night but didn't get going til after sunrise. Spent all the previous night to-ing and fro-ing around the M25 following false trails.

Glad to see the field fire made it on there. Remember them putting out urgent messages for people to move their cars as the flames encroached. And then seeing the remaining cars go up. How to explain that to the insurance co!!

Loved it.

[318honey]

i was on that trailer dancing my arse off mate " proper having it " lmao..

[Crinwa]

How awsome to be apart of that! Summer of Love (i'm a tad jealous) :)

[aintellengreat]

A tad?!?!

[synergy365]

@Crinwa - So you should be - it was fucking AWESOME!!!!

[Crinwa]

0.50sec - 1m15s hahaha, "Can you feel it yet"? "I dunno, there's a sort twinkling in my left arm, i think", (all sigh!) "It's been 2 hours, guys"! "Next rave, i'm getttin' us sorted, these are shit"!

[55mandreck]

I see a lot of sound people getting some excercise and enjoying themselves . whats wrong with that !! not the old bills fault !! why don't the GOV't let people alone . Doesn't look like theres any troub. We all need these events as a safety valve else we will end up as insane as them !! check out this free film TERRORSTORM watch it and see just what criminals are really like e.g. WORLD GOVERNMENTS !! its free on google till they pull it down and shut out the truth forever. peace love etc. drek

[cursedfrombirth]

[frankiebones01]

That was one of the most wicked raves of 1989 because everyone thought the old bill was going to make sure it did not happen. But 17,000 people had made it impossible to stop. At did not even start going off until 7 a.m.

[digitalartist1]

[eddieg1968]

[SUBdiversity]

@ 7.53 you see a nice looker in a hat dancing. If you now go and watch the Fantazia Donington vid from 92 you'll see the same girl dancing the same dance in an almost identical hat.. Or is it me ?. It probably is just me actualy.. I've been mildly odd since 91.. at least ! (I'm kidding.. I'm the most normal ex-drug takEr I know) everyone else is still doing them or is possibly dead ?.

Anywayz.. nice blast from the past, so CHEERZ

[raveinabedroom]

Here here! This party looks like a great time! Probably not as much fun as a party in the dark with visible lights racing all over the place but looks fun just the same. I dig the tracks in this clip although it looks like they were added after the fact.

[colombus272]

[rampantrhia]

I too was at this party. I lived in Ipswich & travelled all night to end up 9 miles from where we started from. I remeber the first tune that was played was Roxanee Shante - Live On Stage.

[harrylime22]

great track !

[gorfuc]

i lived in ipswich too and went down to london, only to come back to the venue that was just outside of town lol

[robeuroh]

I'll never forget that night!

Half the fun of going to warehouse raves, was finding out where you'd end up.

We'd lost our convoy which had gone from colchester, cos we were in a slow van!

[harrylime22]

we went to runtins in the night then drove down from romford in the morning.

89 what a year !

[zurtur]

The name of that tune is Real Wild House by Raul Orellana

I was at this. Me and two friends from StLukes School in Portsmouth went to this. I had a Purple Ohm and was tripping my nut off. Got the tickets from Blackmarket Records in Soho. Pity I had to go to work the next day. First big rave I went to...

[Tbirds]

LOL...what a night/morning,remember the cars all jammed up in the lanes..was 1st across the fields (orange beetle) and looking back seeing hundreds of cars piling across the field following us..people trying to jump ditches, getting there motors stuck!

The song at 4.08 is debbie malone - rescue me..top tune.

Those were the days, never to be repeated, gurn on my friends!

[raveinabedroom]

"Those were the days, never to be repeated, gurn on my friends!"

Don't say that, never say that. Goonies never say die! :)

sadly, i was into heavy metal in 1989. but i did sort it out and get raving in time to attend shellys and entropy in 1991-1992

[StockholmCru]
