Not all their parents did the rave thing but if you are 17 - 21 yrs old this is EXACTLY how the party dance scene was way back no phones etc just am ELECTRIC kind of atmosphere 😎👌👌
From 1988 to 1993 it was amazing, 88 to 91 was pure love, togetherness, after thst bad drugs, music seem to get darker as did the characters coming into the scene,. The love just seem to drop away for me anway. Been some great nights after 91 but the introduction of social nedia EGO's, and the DJ becoming more impirtant than the music and the people just made me drift away. But for 3 or 4 years its was pure escapisim, freedom of expression, togetherness, love without any fear, it was a family
I blame the D&B & Jungle scene. It got dark & people stopped dancing. It went from us all as one together to different genres & people growling instead of gurning with euphoria. Quadrant park was a proper Acid/house Rave experience. 🙌🕊️🙌
Simply the best atmosphere in a club I've ever experienced...closely followed by the Park in Chorley and the Thunderdome. As a Manc....going to Bootle was like going into bandit country but only ever had one bit of aggro at the Quad..brliiant nights, brilliant music, brilliant times
Used to feel the same about going into Manc, but had some great nights in Bowlers and the Hacienda, don't think the folk who went raving gave a fuck about where you were from. I used to love speaking to all the kids from outside the city in Cream. Cream used to be only about 50% Scousers cuz it was so well know, there was another club in town around that time, more mid 90's, called the 051, which was only really know by the locals so that was a good night out if you just wanted to be with a load of other folk from Liverpool, which you did sometimes.
diecast jam the state was also boss but couldn't beat the quad only lived half a mile away lived it Friday Sat nite then downstairs for the all nighter couple of doves and a bag of Billy sorted or them strawberry trips that were going around fukin loved it
My uncles and aunts were there this night and I remember them coming home smashed and waking me to cook fried breakfasts cause not a one could function of them 🥴
Same in the Eclipse. People did go based on what DJ was going to be playing, but nobody was hero worshipping them. Most of the time, you couldn't even see the DJ.
These WAS the GREATEST PARTY DAYS EVER ..we are all privelidged to have experienced these times ,these were when people hugged chatted and danced ALLNIGHT LONG and everyone got along .....💗😍👍
Regular attendee at a club that was the most important experience of my life, and I'm sure I'm not alone, that first taste of a white dove, nothing else has ever come close to the feeling of unbelievable joy, MDMA just isn't the same now, plus the amount of people offering any substance as soon as you are past the door security! Happy days
Ridiculous..! This kind of atmosphere of people, music and scene will never be recreated again..... We've waited nearly 30 year for it to happen again.
Never went to the qrad,we was in liverpool in 1990,the plan kind of changed we travelled up from london to see a friend the meeting place,the coconut grove,then we was going to go to the quad on saturday night ,what happened we broke down outside birmingham and was told by the midlands police get back on the motorway in 4 hrs or else pounding time it is,3 hrs 45 mins later we was of,on the way up we saw the same police officers on there way back with a toetruck my mate who is know(rip)rest his soul,kind of gave them a wave(lol)with his middle finger that is,then we got to this club round about 5;30am,my mate the driver parked up then went to sleep,me and his brother(lsd up decided to go for a walk(lol)about 2 hours we found him still sleeping,yes we kind of got lost in liverpool city centre(lost londoners in liverpool day)then we all decided to go to manchester>hacienda instead,so when we got to manchester we saw strangeways prision the driver decides he wants to park up and have a look we then got approched by a drugdealer from blackburn who was with his mates pinching copper metal from there,they asked us where we was form,then he said,if you are looking for a rave to go to,go to monroes in blackburn,from there a illegal rave is going to be travelled to in yorkshire so we went to monroes,then the driver says,im going home,im fucked im not raving tonight,so what happened next we went back to london didnt go no where that weekend. ? what city was the best place to rave in 1989/90/91 manchester or liverpool what club was the better club quadrant park or the hacienda.
Paul this rave reminds of a rave I used to go to in kingscross in 1989 ibiza it was on the other side of bagleys studios the world famous bagleys of 91 onwards anyway yes this atmosphere at the quad was the same as ibiza that nite I went to ibiza I saw 6000 people all chanting out mental mental let's go fucking mental and no dj told them to say this was the 89 era begining my best rave ever at the cross big difference to the acid chant mate
Paul why didn't we stay in Liverpool and go I'm totally sick to the stomach over it or go back thing is there was so much going on in london back then that's probably why but for me out of all yhecraves I went to inc the nortrious m 25 raves it's a motorway that goes on for 100 miles that circles london on the junctions illegal raves used to take place sunrise energy biology worlddance centreforce etc but for me ibiza at kingscross london was my best ever to this day without a doubt by the way a blonde liverpool girl called Rachel who used to go to the quad happen to know her at all met her down hear
Fucking IMMENSE - as a 16 year old Wiganer sneaking out with the big boys of the Wigan squad every week to come here was amazing, looking at this as a 39 year old, IT STILL IS!
amazing just watched this again, if I could live life over quad would be one thing I could never change. so many great nights and happy memories. Love it
Making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, fucking atmosphere is great, don't know how my heart stood it. You can see why some of the most important clubs have been in Liverpool The Cavern, Eric's, The State, The Quad and Cream. We manage to have the knack of keeping it quiet too, everyone goes on about the Hacienda, which don't get me wrong was great had some good nights in there but nothing like The State or The Quad.
Aye would have to agree best 3 clubs Id say that were most mind bending yet under the radar for awhile till things go tits up as always 1.Quadrant Park 2.Shelleys 3Doncaster Warehouse with an honorable mention to Bowlers and Cream, those were my favs anyways.
Nothing could touch the Quad in its day loved the place even better when the call nighters started only lived 5 minutes away. A few doves and but of the Billy and you were flying boss 😉😛
No-one ever seems to mention Tom Salta's 'The New Generation' at 32:00 . Absolute banger of a piano tune. He went on to make the soundtracks to shitloads of popular video games.
Pabloscutt1975 thanks so much for uploading these. But is there a part 3, you are teasing with uploading part 1 and 2 of 3 but the final part seems to be nowhere?
From The State then Le Jardin then The Twighlight zone I went the very first night Mick played Him, John and Andy kicked it off around March ‘90 we went every Saturday until they wanted us to buy id’s around October ‘90 so we fucked it off and a big crowd of us went to Legends in Warrington til ‘ ‘92 then the original idea went down the swanny! Cream was good at the start but ‘94 came and went and we ended up having twin girls who are now 24! 😬 Love the scene and love all the boss tunes from back then, by the way i was there this night 🤟🏻
Girl at 3.35 is not enjoying the track being played, watch her face when a proper track mixes in she looks at her mate as if to say "fuckin yeah, this is more like it, to the top-don't stop"
Thank u once again pal I'm holding a massive bk 2 the old skool event nxt august bank hols in north west lancashire if your interested if it doesn't fail with this shit goin 🙄✌️
@10:42 - proper piledriver. Used to go nuts to this. Anthem, nice tune and all that and has its place. But doesn't come close to their other more underground tracks.
