[@johnoatham6102]

I went to this gig ,amazing night ,I'm 50 now, still love my techno and drum and bass and tech house ,but adamski was the man who started it all ,I've had a copy of live and direct in my music collection for over 30 years

[@TaylaMaytee]

I was 17 and homeless in london in 2013, DC's dog Bossa, a little white staffy came and sat on my lap as i was sat outside kingscross mcdonalds, he gave me money, he helped me out, more importantly, he was a friend to me and my partner, he looked after us i suppose! Havent seen him for over six months, i was homeless for christmas last year and didnt have anyone, he gave me a pair of airforce - he really would lift my spirits, i knew he loved music and is still making music, but i never knew he was on this scale!

[@George67795]

i used to love playing this Adamki & Daddy Chester concert over and over on my old VHS back in the 90's .. google daddy chester and found this clip of chest on oxford st .. heart breaking , hope his luck has changed since kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGHHXo2mjZiqo7c

[@captinweestain526]

He's been homeless also.

[@flatsthewayilikeit9818]

Fuckin loved this guy when I was 15 now I'm 41 still love it

[@hack4eva]

Watched this from South Africa 1990 ... aged 13... fell in love with house and dance music. Then Seal made it famous on Killer. Thank you Adamski and Daddy Chester

[@shaunsmith8538]

Adamski started the dance moment top man bring back the 80s and 90s dance scene

[@leemcbride9273]

I saw adamski live and direct. One of the best night's of my life. So good.

[@flatsthewayilikeit9818]

I had the concert on video but lost it through lifes rollercoaster....would love to get another copy...

[@beyond72deepsoulfulhousemixes]

Daddy Chester.. House Music's Flavor Flav

[@gtboy27]

the good Dr Adamski way so way beyond his young years then, he set trends that he didnt even realize AND did it by himself, live and direct! no fancy production needed to pave the way into dance...

[@Nabilkachaou]

My crazy hero in the nineties...Time to remix somethings of that album...

[@ACIDDAN303]

rocking the 909 and FZ1

[@dionnedacosta1]

I was here! Haha. What a night ENERGY NYE Eve 1989. Laughed from Liverpool to Brixton and back at my friend who was driving in a red beret doing Frank Spencer impressions off his cake! Mission. That rave blew my decade and my mind. Where's the rest of the footage, there were other P.A's. Nostalgic times. Thanks for this @Steve Morgan. ;)

[@oldskooldancemusic1]

theres another part - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2Olkn6KmJJ8oM0

[@jezzoid1]

Daddy Chester I believe

[@jezzoid1]

Daddy Chester I believe

[@chrisrolph1444]

We did the laser production and I had a good dance with the wee man! It was threedayer in all into New Year’s Day and we were knackered but it was fun!!

[@steveeyers5963]

Other pa's!!! I remember Guru Josh on the infinity sax.... first proper big rave, only just turned 17. Properly tripping out on the cool lights and weird Altered States video backdrops

[@simonmaverick9201]

I was there and I remember it well...

[@DJCarlParker]

One of my mates copied his tape of this and gave it to me. I was 15 and listened to it over and over again for years!!!!!! An inspiration to say the least.

[@patriothammer1460]

Was there what a fkn brilliant night that was

[@johndalton6642]

timeless genius..

[@tupples2863]

Wow. Chester used to live in my town in Devon. Nice guy, haven’t seen him in a while and hope he is doing well. It’s sad to see he went from this to being homeless

[@youngchool]

909 + SQ-80!

[@muzictherpy]

Adamski, best DJ all times..

[@myoldreteacher]

Oh I completely agree with your comment about him 'losing the plot'. This album is a wonderful tribute to the way quality music was produced in the early 90s with just a few basic instruments. Nothing too fancy here; just one man, a keyboard, sampler, drum machine... but brimming with inspiration and originality!

[@jimomulloy9594]

No one matches adamski, the best

[@lewtronic1856]

Hats off to that man 🙌🙌 what a quality set 🔥👊

[@mikecarter8880]

I saw him 2x back in those days in LA. I think the one thing that impressed me is it seemed he was programming the music in realtime rather than just triggering samples. Each of his shows sounded different, this video was different than the vinyl, the 2 shows I saw were different. I miss those days. I didn't understand how important that scene was at the time. For me I was a punk, but this was fun music, it was visually exciting, met great people, it hadn't turned into pacifier ravers yet. $20 free beer till it ran out. Good times.

[@oldskooldancemusic1]

@perception90 - they must have been an awesome partys. shame those days are gone forever.

[@oreilly67]

The master of techno ♥️

[@edsthreads]

This is my fave version of NRG in this set.. awesome to watch him tweakin the buttons & dropping in the bass/percussion etc...

[@jezzoid1]

I miss these days man the snow ball's the sunrise the flyers lmfao

[@stevenvarney1750]

An absolute ledgand

[@rikard1414]

one of the best youtube uploads ever

[@oldskooldancemusic1]

cheers

[@drstevie]

Still amazing :)

[@perception90]

still got my vid of this classic set by the king of Acid House he was an inspiration to many of the bands like N Joy and Shades of Rhythm dare I mention the Prodigy who heped kill the scene thanks to Charly, to all the youngsters out there if there was no Adamski then there would never have been a Seal who got a massive commercial following and made a shit load of money which is all down to the genious of the man like Adamskiiiiiiii : )

[@Sicollick]

Classic video. Thanks for sharing

[@YershJRSZ]

8:07 The same melody was used on The Prodigy's "Jericho", but it wasn't Adamski's idea, as the melody itself comes from the muuuuch older song

[@ukstevengill]

Sweet! had this on VHS back in the day. Great upload, cheers!

[@oldskooldancemusic1]

shame i live 200 miles away! would love to see that!

[@NattKadifa]

Adamski is playing in London on Friday 29th June 2012

[@BruvaBob]

Me too! top night. Please be aware that Adamski performed this LIVE with no pre-recorded shit, just straight from his head.

[@oldskooldancemusic1]

Yeah, the 909 is defo live, and some keys, i think theres something hes playing along to, but pretty much live. cant fault him. only prodigy and shades of rhythm did that too. dont think N-joi did if you look closely at their videos.

[@BruvaBob]

Correct mate by mid-1990 you could save more than just a 3-5 second loop. didnt know prodigy and SOR done live though. you learn everyday. Peace

[@saundersclose]

Yep Prodigy used to use a pair of Roland W30's back in the day, same as I've still got stashed away in my cupboard somewhere, best bit of kit I ever bought.....

[@trodd77]

When speakers had bass.

[@Trancetechniqueradio]

Superb !

[@DJMrPires]

I spot an ASR-10 or EPS 16, TR-909 and it must be a TB 303 somewhere in that stage...

[@davedagreat69]

It's an Ensoniq SQ80, TR-909 and he did have a Casio FZ10m for the samples. No TB-303 as far as I'm aware (he certainly never mentioned using one in interviews and it never appeared on stage), just the SQ80, a great synth.

[@peteunderdog4455]

Yea, its an EPS16

[@davedagreat69]

Pete underdog No, it's an SQ80, his favourite synth. He never used an EPS16, and the keyboard in this clip is definitely an SQ80. In fact he once said he was thinking of taking seven extra SQ80s into the studio next time he recorded.

[@peteunderdog4455]

davedagreat69 No your right, it was the SQ80.

[@snares45]

You just know everyone there is having a good time

[@wetukman]

I remember this time I used to goto raves etc, one time I saw him play at a squat rave type thing... interesting times

[@oldskooldancemusic1]

@edsthreads, yeah awesome set!

[@reidar0563]

SUPER. OLD SKOLL

[@perception90]

I stayed away from their bigger parties as the atmosphere was being lost due to the sheer amount of 25000 ravers there yes you are correct their parties were very well organised with bangin sound systems and light shows I have nothing but respect for Perception and the likes of Raindance they new what the people wanted and they suplied it : )

[@adamrichardson3636]

they look like they've both had themselves a red bull or two before this like

[@crasherkev1]

Not joking at all !!!!! Round TCR Stn all homeless know Chester, prob not aware of he's influence on the music scene. Always buy him Mcd's breakfast not seen fir while hope he's ok. Both Seal and adamski washed there hands of him.. Such a nice fella deserves more. He actually introduced Seal to Adamski and was offered a bottle of champs as a thank you......PISS TAKE

[@przlgaming.9813]

I met Chester today, he also told me that story. He isn't around London anymore he is on the streets of Newton abbot Devon south west, adamski and seal need to sort it out, he's the man behind there track 'killer', they're both rich and have done nothing to help. I was sat with him for at least an hour and he was telling me all of his inspiring story's, he even spat a few bars for me :)) please everyone read this and share the link to try and get him help, he deserves it, a massive heart, he even has a dog that HE rescued over 10 years ago (a white staffie) and has cared for him ever since, he deserves so much more. Please share the link www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/dj-behind-seals-hit-killer-6395907

[@SuperBennybenjamin]

On and off the streets! Met him in Swansea with his bitch Staffy, gave him a lift and had a pint with him!

[@saundersclose]

The industry never paid much money for dance artists back then, nobody walked out of it that well unless you were Liam form Prodigy!

[@lewisrowden4949]

[@Deesmithy71]

Chester was the main Man. Easy. Adamski crook

[@Deesmithy71]

Meet Chester many times 1987. 1992. Still pals 😊. One love

[@kolakube123]

Adamski is super talented. Don't know how he didn't get much further than he did. Not sure Daddy Chester pulling stupid faces and dancing like Tweeky of Buck Rodgers was essential to the brand however!

[@acidhouse1988]
