Nothing in the world could top being young and alive at that time.We were bad kids my god yes...but there was still an innocence about it.Nobody had more fun.Nobody.😂🎉

[@TadashiNazuka]

I was involved in the promotion of many of these parties back when, thanx for uploading. Glory Daze. We will never forget the Fun.

[@paulgarcia2180]

I dropped acid and went to twister right after a veruca salt concert. Ill never forget it.

[@TheLedonne3]

What a party man. In a school house- enormous glow in the dark Twister downstairs. The sheer insanity of being in a school house with a billion other kids shwasted and dancing their asses off. I'll never forget that party.

[@paulgarcia2180]

@@TheLedonne3 i remember used to be able hit up a concert, eat some crappy mcdonalds, get a little shwasted and hit a party for about 60 bucks back in those days!!! 🤣 gawd damn!

[@brewcitymike1]

Tracks ID for 22:45 or 23:19 ?? So many killer sounding tracks but such short clips 😢

[@CycloneCordVHS]

My thoughts exactly!! I remember the track at 23:04 but I forgot the name.

[@maxximum75]

between 22:01 and 24:49, that was new year eve party in Wisconsin. I recognized Maxximum sound and Light gear (speakers in white and the god light behind the djs)

[@brewcitymike1]

Also the track at 24:28 ? ( i know its only like 4 sec snippet) or of you know that track right after that would be cool.

[@elektrochava]

chris sattinger thinkless thoughts, I believe

[@brewcitymike1]

@@elektrochava thank you, you were correct. Thinkless Thoughts EP, track is Butterfly Skull. Whats crazy is I went to discogs to listen to it only to see I actually had it in my "wantlist", LOL But still I appreciate the help.

[@djajax35]

And if anyone has all the old Chicago Rave flyers I would love to see a video of them laid out that would be awesome

[@atomicdmt8763]

i once had a huge wall full.......... but I dont think I kept any. There was a project to preserve these...

[@djajax35]

Yo unfortunately Babylon was trash.. they had a great lineup but there was no vibe

[@brewcitymike1]

Can anyone provide a track ID @ 12:00 ?

[@TheLedonne3]

The end of the scene for me was shortly after every party was seemingly at Morgan Market. It seemed like this was the only venue with parties for months.

[@sonquatsch8585]

[@internetpointsbank]

Yeah we havent forgotten though!!!

[@winterlynn9012]

I know this is a long shot but I'm gonna try anyway....In late 1994 or very early 95 at a now defunct flea market that was located on Smithtown long island New York there was a booth that sold bootleg tapes. A bunch of guys ran the booth and the cassettes were very basic bootlegs (no cover art, artists names were sometimes missing) and it was just a blank tape that someone had recorded songs onto. The paper insert just had song titles. One tape i purchased was titled:Underground Hardcore Chicago 1994 and had about 30 songs similar to the ones in this video. Before the songs started on side A and Side B was a man's voice saying "AC music productions" This tape blew my fucking mind and I sadly lost it a few years later. I've been searching for decades for the songs but unfortunately its next to impossible since I only remember one song title and it was just a bunch of question marks like ??????? (I guess that's why it was easy to remember lol) And I remember another song sampled a haunting,slightly distorted version of "Over the rainbow " by Judy Garland in the wizard of Oz. Being that I was only 11 years old in 94 it wasn't easy to have access to this type of music. I've searched everywhere online for any hint of this mixed tape but can't find anything. Hoping anyone who either was really into this scene at the time or knows or recognizes anything that i shared in this comment can help. Chances are what i owned was a just a compilation of random songs that are now impossible to find but I guess it won't hurt to ask.

[@brymilan]

Have you tried searching the uploads of youtuber Mixtape Magic? They have TONS of this kind of stuff uploaded from those old tapes from back in that time. kzbin.info

[@sekretskhool653]

Was that Terry Mullan at 10:00??

[@brymilan]

Yes, I remember he played "Johnny Fiasco - Conduction" quite a bit around this time. Also the projector screen has his name on it :)

[@dennisgenovese227]

[@pestilenes]

BOBBY PINS @19:53. Who remembers him?

[@TheLedonne3]

Dude was a staple in the scene. Unforgettable look.

[@jakgd]

What's the name of 25:10?

[@CycloneCordVHS]

1:09 to 1:14 song name?

[@adamhogan1227]

Anyone remember who closed down Decadance, in the main room? I just remember they turned the volume way up.

[@riddnic]

This was it! I was there! Before this it was house or Medusas... After this there were 1-2 raves on the South Side in Dolton... Off to college in Dekalb for me... 1 more fest in Madison. A few descent clubs late 90's open and close. Final nail in the coffin is the RAVE ACT(Thanks Sleepy Joe Biden) Ever since Chicago has been "the boulevard of broken dreams" Edward Hopper. Nighthawks, 1942. The Art Institute of Chicago

[@95pito]

fuck biden, and now you might have him as president.. you have to fight back, like we did in europe and continue to rave illegally despite the laws and acts

[@i2pjd6hRw5P]

ID at 20:00? What specific genre is this? love the hats

[@eugeneweeks3325]
