The Hitman And Her Live At The Eclipse Coventry 1992

[@daveb3764]

I remember recording this on vhs as a 14 year old. It blew my mind. I taped the Hitman and her the following week and they were in a sausage fest Ritzy full of blokes in a shirt and tie dancing to Kylie. Hard to fathom both genres in the same year

[@MrMikomi]

That may have been the dress code for the Ritzy. I remember the ghastly "must wear shoes, shirt, no jeans" dress policy of so many clubs. Maybe clubs are still doing it.

[@xavp6356]

My wicked years un England,used to work in Stratford n was reachin Coventry n all the places where raves were on, i wanted to fully live n share these awesome events wth my mates n all the pple un there. I would kill to get back to this. Thnx to all the DJs, the brits for sharing n involvin me to these blindin events. Will always be on my freakin mind.

The Eclipse was the greatest Club in the UK from 90 - 92 and if you disagree it's because you didn't go. Rammed to the rafters every week. The Church.

Amazing that they were dancing to grease megamix in the ritzy in '91 and in a year they were gurning to breakbeats and bleeps in warehouses. Hitman and her caught the last musical revolution live. We could do with another.

And here we all are roughly 30 years on from the Second Summer of Love Acid House and Rave explosion watching this beautifully caught nostalgic view of the early 90's alot of the time at night time or in the early hours on a Saturday night thinking......'I really wanna be back there somewhere different to where I am now watching all of this tucked up in bed'....'I wanna be out there chasing those lasers and 'dancing like no one is watching' and making new mates coz after all 'strangers are just friends we havn't met yet!'

[@lexithebullterrier3813]

RELICS92 you sound like one of the permanently damaged individuals because of too many of these nights lmfao. I'm only joking I hope you know, I wouldn't be writing this seriously it's in jest but actually people were abusing drugs back then,you either loved it or hated, I hated raves I liked getting pissed in the dance music clubs better

Never got to The Eclipse, but, heard all about it from Mixmag Update and Pete Tong. I was 13 years-old in 1987 when I started getting into Acid House / Rave and other artists like S’Express, Bomb The Bass, Inner City, D’Mob, The Beatmasters.... the pre-cursor were The Pet Shop Boys and as they were quite dance-y it was a natural progression. A musical revolution was taking place as we entered the new decade and the 90’s are remembered extremely fondly.

Dragon Energy lol these raves were full of drugs, it was so fast and repetitive the type of music your head was battered less than an hour in this place without drugs. The slower dance music was much better like on the hit man and her . Everyone is full of pills on here and every rave I'm not joking. Mikaela was spot on it was always over full hot and sweaty total head f**k without drugs. Most ravers didn't sleep all weekend and there brains still damaged today off the amount of drug abuse

@@lexithebullterrier3813 ..and yet we can still write grammatically correct, coherent, proper sentences and spell words and peoples' names correctly, especially when the correct spelling of her name is literally shown on-screen at the beginning of the show.. so no, I don't think *their* brains are still damaged today *from* the amount of drug abuse, but yours may well have been damaged from years of being presumptuous and spectacularly missing the point of rave culture.. :D

[@lexithebullterrier3813]

@@jasensaunders1895 rave culture my a**e! I have friends that have never been the same because they are mentally damaged . Just because a person can spell and string a sentence together doesn’t matter....it’s scientifically proven that drug abuse damages brain cells causing numerous mental illnesses.....so take your rude comment and stick it up your a**e

[@jasensaunders1895]

It's ok, you can use "rude" words without asterisks on here, you won't get told off by your mum pmsl. Unfortunately, I have to decline your kind offer concerning my "rude" comment and what to do with it, thanks anyway, but I do find the irony extremely amusing. I also have friends, perhaps surprisingly, but who are exactly the same as they were back then, they aren't "mentally damaged" at all. There are equally many, many people physically and mentally damaged from the wide-ranging effects of alcohol abuse throughout society, which appears to be much worse than all drugs combined, so what's your point? Your comments belie the fact that you are not a raver, nor indeed does it sound like you ever went to an actual rave, apart from probably that one time when, in your own words, "it was so fast and repetitive the type of music your head was battered less than an hour in this place without drugs." (whatever that word salad means) "The slower dance music was much better like on the hit man and her ." So it's perhaps unwise to lecture Dragon on something you evidently have little or no experience of. I'm sorry if some of your friends really are, and I quote, "mentally damaged", perhaps they overdid it back in the day, as can all too easily happen with any alcohol/substances. I'm sure they must be only too delighted that you feel it appropriate to describe them in that way on a public forum... Just because you weren't involved in a scene, there's no need to demonise it and the people that were involved in it with your presumptions and assumptions. How do you even know your friends wouldn't have ended up with the same conditions if they hadn't been involved in the rave scene? Perhaps it's the result of something else and not that scientific proof of drug (ab)use that you so expertly describe....
