  • 3:00 Mad P, Top Buzz?

  • 2:38 Epic. What a times!!!!!!!!!

  • No cellphones, no stoping while dancing to text, no sneaking out because the band or DJ suck. Just good music, fun and dancing.

  • 3:17 Mr-T? XD. Such an awesome vid. Everyone having a great time.

  • @ 1.21

    What the fuck ??

    .

  • This is brilliant, where did it all go wrong ?

  • The media and older people who are scared by change.

  • This isn't acid,house,or rave music. It's hip hop.

  • Hip House*

  • well i was nine at that time... what a shame. if i was older for a bit, i would have holes in my soles, from dancing there. :)

  • UK 1989 !!! bitch !!!

  • Just how can any of you dig that deep into your thinking sponges and remember these times?

    I've had 4 different people email me this saying I'm the Ginga in the Green grand-dad top, though I can't remember much from back then.

    Anyone fancy owning up and saving whats left of my self respect amongst my peers?

  • Check out my mixes on Soundcloud, search for The Smilehigh Club, lots of house mixes to download! Follow me for lots more mixes!

  • @DirkBigler

    this is the illness of our era; less vinyl more download. and i hate it.

  • @CitizenofTatooine

    These are downloads of mixes that I have done? The same as tapes back in the day, or do you refuse to listen to tapes as well?

  • @DirkBigler

    the point is, download is an unacceptible format for me. i would never replace my records with digital copies. and, i have many audio tapes at home (albums, singles and completions), i still use them.

  • @DirkBigler

    one more thing :) i had to buy audio tapes instead of vinyl records in the past. it was a bad period for me.

  • and what harm are these pepole doing?

  • those two black guys at 2.35 onwards have had me in fits of laughter for the last 15 minutes i cant stop watching it

  • oh brings back mixed memories!!! The days when blacks, whites used to get along just great.....in the raves anyway!! Brings the thoughts of my best pal´s brother back....tragically killed while working the doors of a famous Manchester club. RIP Dave....you were a top guy mate.....

  • Everyone looks fucked out of their minds. lmfao:()

  • Is that guy doing the shuffle???? WTF!

  • @tiestoooify

    shuffling came from running man, running man is a popular move in new jack swing, new jack swing was the popular dance during this time.

  • и я там был, мёд, пиво пил;)

  • A Nostalgy ^^ =)

  • ONE LOVE ;]

  • Dude at 1:22 DOUBLE DROPPED a dove or 5

  • this video is a potent antidepressant without any side effects..... except maybe some heavy nostalgia

  • spent 2yrs doing this and i would.nt change a thing.

    age catching me up now but i spent a lifetime in 2yrs.

    about time the youth of today did the the same

  • what a time.

  • whenever you lose your faith in the human race, just watch this :)

  • Swear i was at this one.... but they all merge into one... happy days.. feel sorry for todays youth.. Maggie made sure that this sort of "meeting" could never happen again.. so happy to be part of it, but sad to it taken away from my kids who are now the same as me when i had the privalage to go to these Raves.. wish i had a time machine.......... anyone one join me...

  • Back then it was all so different, black white, rich or poor - it didn't matter. We were all one crowd partying together. Those were the days :)

  • all good, but were they really playing rebel mc?!!!

  • @MrAlbertScroggins spot on mate bump into someone and say sorry - no worries mate shake hands and rave on that was quality raving, I never saw any grief by ravers, only the old bill caused grief. I miss it you know, nowadays evrybody wants to put a glass in yer face to prove how hard they are. I reckon the best times were 87-93 then jungle came along and ruined it (my opinion!). Ironically I'm a doorman now and christ we earn our money, wd love to have done it back in the day! Rave on!

  • hell yeah bust a move

  • mr T AT 3.19...HA,HA,HA.

  • I love this shit, the way the are dancing is so free! would have loved to be there !!

  • Black, white and anything else. It was about the music and the party. It only took the government to fuck it up.

  • Those days were fucking amazing. Didnt last long though and will never be the same. The music was fresh , the vibe was really positive and about free expressin and the X was really X. Todays scene is shite in comparison.

  • Old school ravers. haha

  • Quality stuff, looks like i was born a generation too late :(

    Everyone is enjoying themselves and so happy, no fights or knobheads in the video like you get today round towns.

    Can anyone tell me the name of this song?

  • @Smalltowncasual Its the Rebel MC the songs called Street Tuff.

  • How awesome is this? ... if you get like 30 people together and rave it out in the bush expect the fucking S.W.A.T to arrest everyone. thats bullshit. no one is getting hurt in this environment, just pure PLUR - This isn't a CLUB, its a RAVE.

  • @re6ter The tune is  'rebel mc - Street tuff'

  • @adzyfelly thanks!

  • can u lot please stop moaning about what once was and is never more. ur right but u sound so ungrateful for everything we have now. there's free party style raves all over the place. yeh they're more underground and you probably dont know the right people, but they still rule for music so go dance, burn some energy, and stop moaning. ur making me feel emotional too xxxx

  • @freedomwanted

    there are indeed but now it's full of ponces sponging fags and asking for a £fiver, gets on yer tits now.

  • Sensacional!!!

  • thats what made it fun ?it was illegal hideing from the pigs

  • I used to rave in the early to mid Nineties (before I had kids), in the US only, though I know it all started in UK, Europe. Those were some good times!

  • GCrosslet ,is so right i remember going to venues like this in 89 , popping a yellow cally , and just chilling , then as it kicked in everyone just just done their thing , and there was nothing but goooooood feelings between everyone , nice memories

  • @aorticvalvefailiure

    do you know where i can get a cal from now because i haven't seen one since 89...lol

  • thank you for this video , I remember when....good music everyone off their heads having fun, no hangups .

  • Sad to think that has died. I wish I was there for it.

  • class,,,lot to be said for the purple ommes and strawberrys lol

  • Everyone off their tits...lol

  • unity is the true enemy of the powers that be....divide and rule has controlled us for centuries and its about time we bring back this spirit.

  • @dmcd808 yes I totally agree we should be taking over warehouses and fields, this thing was so fantastic, let us organise ourselves and have a dance, what we got now, fuckers shooting eachother all the time!

    The kids need it!

  • oh tengo este vinilo de de Mc Rebel me enkanta es muy divertido! komo lo goza la gente y ke buen royo!

  • Fuck art let's dance. I miss the time when everyone was having fun.

  • I know what you all mean. But the drugs were simply a switch that turned on what can be inside of us all really and what should come out. This all led me to find who I was and why we are all hear...and it led me to Jesus. He is the light..he is the love and he is the way. Did we not feel at times when we raised our hands that we were in heaven and close to feeling the purity of what must it must feel like to be there??? Being found by Jesus beat it all. Ask and you shall receive. Love..Greg.

  • @gregfortruth

    Hey ! I found you ! you r the 1st I meet here to grasp the Meaning ! ..

    Will brings close what been asked. thank you thank you and Thank you
