does anyone remember this rave as it is one of my most vivid memories and i cant find any threads on here.....there were 13000 or so there that night so someone must remember

venue was a huge aircraft hanger with a massively high ceiling and some token fairground rides outside

early doors was Ellis Dee on the dex (i think).....then followed N-Joi PA which was your bog standard N-Joi set........next Jumpin Jack Frost scared me to death with lots of bassy/acid tunes .....i think it was him that played the Trevor MacDonald News At Ten that freaked everyone out.....i was para as fook so i wandered outside for air

Fabio played the last 2 hours which was one of the memorable sets i've ever heard....although quite possibly a coincidence with my phoenix from the flames type recovery.....ohms & pink champagne was a lethal cocktail....

Fabio's set was the first time i heard Bizarre Inc - Playing With Knives when i had no idea what it was, euphoric to say the least when the vocal/piano kicked in........Left Field - Not Forgotten also memorable.....as was Evolution - Take Me Higher very last tune......prior to that was another uplifting atmospheric tune that i have been desperate to id ever since....so if anyone has a track listing or better still a rip then pls get it on here.....

i spent those last 2 hours floating above the platform on the very far end dancing my tits off and buzzing from a profile view of the 1000s of people rockin on the stage & the lights streaming down from the roof.....again my condition added to this experience....!

after the last tune the lights came one really sudden which was a shock...i remember walking like the softmint man and staggered out and somehow found my friends who didnt know where the hell i'd been for the previous 4 hours...!

any track listing or rips of this night pls oblige.....

I was at that rave mate but you have a far better recollection of it than me (i was totally out of it that night) and just remember N-Joi PA and staring at the big screen all night next to the stage. and i remember a bloke outside flipping out on acid rolling about on the floor (which totally spun my head out) was one of the first big raves i went to that was :thumbsup:

I went this one too, it was a cow shed wasnt it not a aircraft hanger ? remember as my jeans was covered in crap ! hence the name wisbech market.:thumbsup:
was superb, I too had the pink champagne, was 1st time had speed. someone told it wasnt very strong so had 3 wraps of it in one go !!! silly as I never slept for the next 3 days which really messed me up big time !:S head was all over the shop from lack of sleep, never again.:naughty:

I remember when I first got into the venue I was like blown away by the sheer numbers of people, I went and climbed up onto that big stage which was quite high up and had a right dance watching everyone, thats untill the bouncers kicked me off because I never had a vip pass !

cant remember any of the tunes, you have a great memory of this event:thumbsup:
oh yeah I was dancin when some girl collapsed next to me, out cold from over dose, scared the shite out of me, apparently she died ? dont know if thats true or just another urban myth :confused:

great event that. I went the next perception after that one, was in field, promised land at farnbourgh april 91. well harsh this one got mugged big time whilst off my face! 3 geezars threw amonia stuff in my face couldnt see for like 10 mins. 1 held me and the others went through pockets and took everything the wankers, afterwards I watched them walking around mugging all the white guys with long hair who looked off their face. oh well its a memory

This was the absolute dog’s bollox of a rave !! Perception always threw a good party. The tune of the night was Technarchy Cybersonik baseline blew the roof off! I struggle to find any recordings for this race apart from the njoi pa. 👍👍
