This artist was a friend of mine. We worked a few doors together, hence the Bouncer. He was a nice guy but passed away some time ago. I'm so glad he was immortalised with this tune. He had another great tune that was a reggae song called "Get Ready For The Dancehall Tonight".. I think 🤔. But that was a great tune too, light up many a dancehall with that one. If you ever saw this guy he was around 6'3" and around 300lbs, until you actually saw him sing you would never believe a voice so sweet could come from him. Did I mention he was a nice guy, oh I did and its worth mentioning twice. RIEP 🙏🏾🖤❤️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Awww man that’s so sweet to know ❤ Literally just pulled this out going through my old vinyl reminds me of a brilliant time in my life and Club Kinetic in Stoke 😊👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Heard this in the morning of an outdoor rave back in 1992, it was 6am, sun was up and everyone had slowed down, this track came on and everyone got back up and the rave started again !! Some of the best moments of my young life !
Anytime i hear the walking in Memphis version, i sing this one. Such great memorys. Thank you from all the old school ravers around the world..Now if someone would play this at EDC..
I remember this 1992 …. Biggest outdoor rave at that time Donnington Park (waited 6 hrs to get in) this played by Rat pack at 6am sun was coming up, helis over head… I’m in heaven wearing my dungarees and white gloves ✨✨✨
ABSOLUTELY BANGING TUNE …,, so many great memories of those times …. Young & not a care in the world , other thanlooking forward to every weekend , going out to raves & parties and getting off your nut with your mates .. wish I could go back … still makes me want to be in a field somewhere , sun coming up and and just dropping another pill and proper having it every time I hear it
Same here, we used to go to Astoria London when Orange ran it, then the milk bar after, ministry of sound sometimes. I fucking miss those days so bad, rhubarb and custards were my fave and disco biscuits 👌
The sheer 'JOY' When I hear that hook,then the beat kicks in ,that baseline . Hitpop ecstacy. Bless. What happened to them 😕 😔 😳. This and pied piper bring back happy rave memories. Bless 🙌 🙌 🙌
On September 4th 1992, I was given a White Label copy of this. It was my Stag Night. My mates got me so pissed. One of them was tasked with looking after the record. When I found out it was lost I was gutted. Nearly 20 years later I find it on RU-vid - can't tell you how grateful I am that you posted (and yes, nearly 20 years later I can still 'loose it' to this toon - hairs stand up all over my body too!) Thanks for making an old fella happy :)
I remember the first time I heard this dropped at a warehouse party , 2000 pairs of hands in the air so many white gloves and day glow flourescent tshirts and whistles ....
Finally somebody puts the OG version!!! I remember all the LA MAP POINTS SPOTS! $5 to $10 cover charge on them whare house and after you paid $ and if you danced your ass off for at least 1hr and no cops showed up to raid the joint, That would mean you got your money 💰 worth it! 😂 only in LA!
Put on my raving shoes And I boarded the plane Touch down in a land where the sky looks blue In the middle of the pouring rain Everybody was happy Ecstasy shining down on me Yeah I've got a first class ticket Feel as good as a boy can be [Chorus] I'm raving I'm raving I'm raving till the sweat just pours down off me I'm raving I'm raving But do I really feel the way I feel?
DJ T played this at the final Love Parade in Berlin, 2006 - just as the float arrived at the apex of the party route. About 200,000 people going nuts to it all at once. Bonkers.
Apparently, and I quote Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, 'Marc Cohn was not amused when he heard 'Raving I'm Raving'. Admitting, hands in the air, that they'd raided his song, SUAD offered to given the proceeds to charity, but Cohn wouldn't budge. The record was instantly deleted'. Thank god for RU-vid.
OMG; alter ist das krass, was diese Musik noch 30 Jahre später in mir auslöst… ich könnt echt heulen und feiern gleichzeitig! Mein Gott war diese Zeit soooo geil!
I heard this in Hollywoods Romford for the first time, it was a dancefloor banger. The whole place was energised when this came on. Shame there was issues with the copyright, it was surging up the charts at the time to number one. It ended up being an underground club classic.
When I was about 15, too young to go out and have fun, I was staying at my Grandparents place in the UK, and this car pulled up in the middle of the night and this girl got out and shouted out to the sleepy street: "I'm raving, I'm raving!" I guess this is where it came from.
I believe thisrecord got to number two In the charts yet only lasted 2 weeks on the charts must surely be the shortest chart resency for a number two hit ever
gosh this brings back memories 💃🕺....used to love this toon....i also used ro absolutely love....."Only Love Can Set You Free".......was in early 20s...
I remember at the time this version was pulled due to not getting permission to use the Marc Cohn tune and sample, the other one sounds completely different.
had this when it first come out lol been on stage with ratpack at slammin vynil years ago at sanctuary and when i learned his dj was white .. thats right black man had white friend none of this race war in the raves unity and love no matter who you was good times ;)
Yeah that’s so True Shut up & dance came on after new Atlantic about 1am and they started with this track and they had no other tracks worth while but played 3 more then played I’m raving I’m raving again for about the last 6 mins of there set. QUALITY NIGHT EARTHQUAKER it was a fantastic rave. 🙌🤩🙌
June 1992 it was Holocaust that was August and it was full of every pa they said was not there sound crap but earthquaker was lpud wicked all together a Top night. 🤩🙌🤩
Holocaust had a lineup that was great those who turned up where the usual. No prodigy or live decade and a few others they hired suburban delay, and QTEX, TTF and Djs Zammo de-v8 mc gavzie Etc it was like all the people who had been at the Carlton studios Marc smith Etc all the American Djs where not there or the big English ones either. They went into administration afterwards. Although the calton still was open as they had a different company name for both all nighters! DEA for earthquaker not sure the name that they used for Holocaust but it was a massive amount of let’s get as much money back from the massive losses they had from earthquaker due to the issues about license as we remember they booked holidays for some people who stayed close to the event but the news said at the start no one wanted all us in new Cumnockbut the neighbours where all waving and happy to see us but due to the uncertainty they only sold 8 thousand tickets instead of capacity was for 15500!!! That why Holocaust was a mad house literally. 🙌✌️🙌
92’ going to check point to check point to give the password and get the directions to the rave. Ending up No Doz in Hollywood raving to this song as the sun came up....high af.
