My rich and irresponsible parents let me go to Europe for a month every summer starting in 1994 when I was seventeen. I probably never would have gotten into this shit if I hadn't spent so much time in the Netherlands back in those days. To really get this shit, you have to be at a huge rave and high as fuck on ecstasy. The Energiehal in Rotterdam was absolutely nuts in the 90's. It's obviously very different music compared to the Dead, but the raves had a similar feel to the Dead shows: Everyone was high as fuck and just wanted to have a great time.
Finally, some decent music in this thread. You into speedcore, by any chance?
