(Part 1) Dune II Desert Rave Party 1997

April 5th, 1997 on an Indian reservation in the hills of Mecca CA, a Rave party called Dune II was held. In total, around 10,0000 people attended. I was surfing the net one night and came across these 4 footage files, which were posted by "Old School Rava" a few years back. Although I was there, I did not tape it. So sit back and relax or just reminisce. You might just see yourself on video! I sure did.

Dude that wind storm was nuts!

@DJDannyBoi7 that was the next year 1998. The dust storm was like a movie set.

Psy trance is lame. I don't like hating on music but holy god man. I can't stand listening to more than a few minutes without getting irritated.

@Goldmotherfunker. Gotta remember back then it was a new sound and unique. They played it together with GOA as well.

damn whistles have been around forever

[BDDave]

And they pissed us off then as well :)

too bad raves aren't anywhere near like this anymore.

I'm the wearer of the penguin hat @ ~1:39. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today. Not sure if anyone else remembers the friggin' sand storm that basically took place the entire event. Although we basically got nighttime sandtans and lungs full of dust, it was a neat effect. Asthmatic friends weren't stoked. I have videotape of this event somewhere too. I miss desert parties. peace.

i miss the 90's, man. Never made the desert partys back then but the philly scene was awesome. they still throw nice party here in northern az in the desert once a month. its been going on for years and years.

had some good ones back in the day here in NV, though never this large.
