Find it hard 2 listen and watch cause I just want 2 be back in the 90s what a time👍😜🇮🇪

[@1giblesp]

Mate, it's so weird seeing a bunch of middle aged people dancing around to this. Like going to a rave, and your dad came along. Then I realize I'm one of them ;) Time flies!

[@katrinablakesley2864]

Exactly...... hopefully time travel will be possible before I get too old to appreciate it properly,lol.....88-93 were the golden years of rave and best years of my life 🤪🤩🙃😊😝😜😎

[@tunez4uhickman997]

Us old Ravers are all part of History now, I’ve no regrets, there were good times and bad but by far the best days of my life, a long for a community with that much love to come by again while I’m still alive, I hope my kids feel a part of something like I did back then

[@Ramsku]

@@1giblesp Hahaha, back then our parents didn’t rave. Hahahaha

[@bluejackmedia]

We were so lucky. That's what I console myself with anyway 😎

[@MCorrigan]

The music is the same, but the lights, the crowd, the atmosphere are not the same. You cannot recreate the 90's rave scene no matter how hard you try. Those days will go down in history.

[@peteredeson5647]

Miss the 90S rave /club scene, but ur right u cant recreate the past,gud times!

[@zyxbotcba]

And not the original line up either. Now with the Balkan records dude. Shame mark n Chris cant patch things up

[@M_System]

I think its because we're not the same, we're all a little older, a little too worried about our normal daily lives to actually let our hair down and actually "Get on it" like we used to.

[@SP-lw7mr]

Even if the crowd was the same and 30yts older course it’s not the same but it the closest your gonna get. Plus sometimes memories are better than the reality.

[@BrianBoru5523]

Spot on, sanitised vibes.

[@grahamhowlett5723]

Caught a similar gig in Norwich in 2021. Mark Archer is a legend. You can never recreate the 90's but you can relive some great memories. Life-changing!

[@allfrieden]

now everyone wear a mask. thanks altern 8!

[@iwasheredreaming6360]

Oh my god... I just want the doc to get his dolorean and take me back exactly 32 years. I was 14 in 1992 and the rest is fuckn history. I remember seeing the prodigy first rip Keith flint legend and I met the man. Altern8 what a great flashback. Loved this crew. Saw these guys live years ago. Just yaaa all the way. I love 'everybody' too. Great tune. I used love mixing it. Great memories here guys. Yuppppp

Oh just to add these 2 have some of the most iconic classics from way back👍👌

[@amoshagan7645]

Fook were all in our 40s and fifties now its never going to have that fresh feel to it but its a hop skip and jump ahead of the trash that's constantly churned out these days . A smoke machine wouldn't go a miss though .......... Bring the Noise👍

[@DJ-GOLD-TRIGGER-81]

Proud as Hell to be a 90s Raver !! Big up all Raving 90s Family !!

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin6539]

Fucking good show! Very cool the idea to put violins played alive at the end of the song! Altern8 rules!

[@gazog1]

That was awesome , glad I found this, great set ,,,,,,, happy days back in the day

[@thegreeknew9927]

[@fullkornig]

Ohhh. How could I miss this from 2018 until today? Whoho this is really top notch, nice one, get sorted!

[@thevictorianshepherd7574]

Wow, this took me way back to memories of A8 at the Club Industria in Glasgow in '91. What a set. 👏👏

[@10178jojo]

Back in the day crowd was jumping and making lots of noise .nowadays the crowd is still no atmosphere you cant recreate the 90s you had to be there but respect to altern 8 but great tunes

[@AuralVirus]

cmon look at the crowd - most are the original 90's ravers - avg age will be 50+, the heart n spirit are willing, just short changed on the body

[@zachb7374]

Because they're all too worried someone will film em and post it.. their poor minds are not free..

[@joseeduardocorrealopes9155]

I ❤U Mark Archer & Chris Peat🤗👍 ( A.K.A. ) Altern8 .. Thank U 4 Everything..

[@flare242]

OMG, i had no clue how much is Altern8 and UK rave in general programmed in my DNA. 90s in Prague were fantastic. On the other hand, i barely survived all the chemistry, lol.

[@storyhero]

Wearing the full NBC outfits and starting with an Altern8 track!... oh, hell yes.

[@happyspaceinvader508]

The whole set is Altern8 tracks.

[@markcoleman229]

[@nigelbenn4642]

You hope, this stuff happens less and less now mate.

[@Heelissrogue]

From the times we enjoyed the music without a crowd of mobile phones!

[@riverman33]

This is old school. Just party, no bullshit.

Falou tudo Eduardo!! Incrível apresentação

[@dantaylor7344]

Only other rave act to mess around with their own tracks live was Prodigy. If you get a chance to go see them DO IT. Watched it back in the day and newer days but live dance acts now just don't do that fiddle and twiddle like these guys did.

[@moyomiranda852]

Naw hella do just gotta peep tha underground

[@AdrianMoody-ky8is]

Dammmmmmmm Sometimes I can’t wait 🫡

[@igusherculoid]

Classe a! B.H. presente!

[@Carlin-qt4jk]

I can't believe this is on KZbin, ffs! I was actually working on the door at this show and met 'Altern 8' before the show and they both looked strangely familiar It was only until after the show that it clicked who they were, Jez and Milky, 2 notorious skag dealers from Spennymoor who've just out got of nick after serving a 3 stretch for impersonating 2 coppers on a drugs raid!

[@Carlin-qt4jk]

@dean Grant Not really fella, just another night at work for me. I much preferred the proper raves with proper djs playing vinyl in some field or warehouse than some computer programmers with a couple of laptops in a shit venue with a crowd filming on their phones paying over the odds for cut and shut Nikki

[@davidrowan3853]

What??

[@christineball4132]

Not who you say! Your defiantly not “sorted” or even a “top one” and definitely not a “nice one” that is A8 Chris Peat and mark Archer, their music, and them in the backing video.

[@digitalbeat666]

oldskool is best

[@thiagorodriguespereira8456]

Good times RAVES!!!

[@user-vw6fk2cq6q]

Вот бы всегда ритм и мелодию держали 🔥🤘💪

[@junomontana1974]

Remember making myself a altern 8 mask when covid first hit, oh and where can I get one of those jackets? I’ve wanted one since my teens. So cool.

[@jamms992]

Check out their band camp page

[@junomontana1974]

@@jamms992 I’ll take a look👍🏻

[@jamms992]

You ment the NBC jacket? Any military surplus store should have them. They have bomber style jackets on their bandcamp page. I miss understood what you ment.

[@razor74741]

Litteraly as soon as I saw phones in the air recording, I turned it off, ruined.

All i want is a altern 8 mask.

Remember buying Altern8’s single Frequency on vinyl. It was grey!!! Still have it. 90s best ever… Would die for a rave back in time!

Sick plate that one man, got the regular black release. Pure "balls out" hardcore!

wot were using ableton / maschine cant tell from video?

[@AmusedGermanShepherd-er5gp]

There were mods and rockers, but us ravers were the dogs bollocks. OiOi

[@AmusedGermanShepherd-er5gp]

A piece of advice for the crotchy old ravers putting down the young uns. We dont own the scene, we were a part of it and that meant all where loved and welcomed. Not dumping on young uns. It comes across as jealous and not the true rave culture.

[@christiankearns4466]

Fucking TOP TUNES!!!!!!

I’d ban mobile phones at any venue! Destroys the atmosphere, but 90’s kids did it differently, none for the gram all for the life!

[@ryanmills6498]

so yeh whats up with the crowd? its supposed to be a rave not a concert. stiil listen to there full on mask hysteria album and there 12 inch`s. TIMELESS

Nice one get sorted 4 Eva!!

[@ricardomaciel4132]

38:50 ????????

[@TheNosferatu666]

[@christineball4132]

It’s missing something no feel good factor the singer is singing flat, l don’t think that is ChrisPeat he left in the mid 90s, who is imperson8 ting!! This must be the old video clipping.

[@marcomesenti6989]

I don't think it was Chris either, got a stand in

[@anthonyperry5267]

Are they just turning the volume up and down?

[@nigelbenn4642]

Makes me wonder if that really was Chris Peat, he's not returned to the scene for years now back somehow.

[@roger_roger777]

That's what I was wondering too?

[@marcomesenti6989]

I don't think it was Chris peat mate😢
