I would have loved to be there but I was born in 91’ and in the U.S. Also, seeing Simon Pegg at 49:13 is full circle for me. When I was in high school, I randomly stumbled on his show Spaced and became obsessed. Without that show I would have never heard Let Me Show You which guided me into a rabbit hole of all things techno and beyond. I remember going on Limewire 😅😬 and downloading so much music that I never knew existed and burning them on CDs. (I also heard Prefab Sprout on that show which is now one of my favorite bands).
Thank you Simon Pegg and Fatboy Slim!
What does he say at that point?
I'm just rewatching this for the millionth time and also noticed Simon Pegg - came straight to the comments! Spaced is still my favourite sitcom
I am from Brazil. In the year 2004, a TV channel showed this show on New Year's Eve, I was alone at home and I was 12 years old. Since then my life has never been the same, musically speaking. greetings.
🤩
Eu tinha Sky e eu vi nessa mesma época, não me lembro o canal que passou se foi a Mtv ou a Multishow, tbm tinha uns 13 a 14 anos nessa época.
imagine ter contato com essa sonzera aos 12 anos deve ter sido uma experiencia e tanto kkkkk
Misma historia solo que en un canal donde las 24 h repetian conciertos, transmitian opera, bandas de rock, etc, y me toco la buena suerte de toparme con esta obra, me cambió por completo
great story
The cultural significance of this is profound. As someone in their mid-20s now trying to experience a fraction of this freedom and innocence, it brings me such joy to simply watch this.
Same bro, i was shoked by how their 20's were beautiful compared to ours like f the tiktok gen bro
It just wasn't put on social media... it was not "free and innocent".
I weep for them! ..... Everyone at this gig were connected in the moment! 🖐️👊❤️💃🕺
@@DamnBig6 I'm sorry you're having a shit time in your 20's mate but honestly it's so easy to experience stuff like this every summer. You just clearly don't go the right events. Hit up the boomtowns, the lost villages, the top tier electronic festivals at the moment are genuinely insane. people will say the same about us one day but it is what you make it
Come to Secret Dreams at Legend Valley in Ohio.. In July. You'll get this. Not the same style of music, but definitely freedom to do whatever you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone
I was there. The traffic on the A23 was backed up to Handcross. Me and my workmate took the back roads back to Shoreham. Train to Brighton. Did all the backstreets to the beach to avoid the travelling crowds and had one of the most memorable nights ever!!! The atmosphere was just full blown summer joy!!! There’ll never be a night like it. Walked home on such a massive buzz. Thank fuck for this film!!!!
Yep, remember the traffic was stacked up for miles on the A23 and it was a scorching day. Cars overheating left right and centre, but we somehow made it to Brighton beach!
I was in that traffic in the back of my mates car. Crawled at 10mph the whole way from Crawley to Brighton. Me and the boys were rackin up lines of coke on the parcel shelf and sniffin all the way there 😂
That’s absolutely crazy Ade. I live in crawley and often do the brighton run on my motorbike down the A23 … cannot comprehend that many cars!! Shame I’m too young to have been there, looks like you had a awesome day
@@petehall725 😂😂😂
I’m from Spain. I was living in Uk at that time and I was so lucky to live that day in Brighton. It was so fucking amazing!
As someone who dj'ed and did a lot of clubbing during this time period, i must say the track selection is impeccable and timeless. You could play this entire set nowadays at a festival/club and it would be amazing!
Can confirm I’ve heard similar vibes at a festival and it was unreal 🥳💃🪩
Legend through and through
Ain't that the truth! This would absolutely hit at a Boiler Room of today.
Good music is good music and thats it! So simple! Try to listen "Soul Sacrifice"Santana Woodstock 1969
I don't know...too much Nu-Disco for my liking personally. Each to their own I guess.
Listening to this in 2024 ! What a mix!
yeaaah
despite the mechanical/electronic aspect this is truly art and requires a great deal of musical talent
Vibes never get old
I am here
🤚
So proud to say I was there, 16 with my parents (they were old school ravers) A water cooler sized bottle filled with vodka and redbull, nothing but pure love, happiness and dancing with strangers. A memory I’ll never forget.
@hayells8710 I’m guessing your parents were on happy pills then? 😜
Yea happy days❤
bbats les couilles
I dream to gooo there 😂😢🎉
my 5 kids got a hardcore dad lol they love it
No smartphones, no social media...and we didn't need them - all who were there will never forget this night for the rest of our lives. We lived in the moment, for that moment...
the most insane night ever , i still rememeber walking the beach all night chatting with strangers around campfires and sleeping on the train home the next morning . amazing night .
I was 18, one of the best days of my life I think looking back. Nothing but fun, laughs, great music, good vibes with my best friends. We drove to Brighton from Essex at 4 am and luckily had a place to crash the night. This vid just makes me grin from ear to ear and I feel so lucky to be able to say "I was there" My dad had Live Aid, I have the BBB2002
And Vinyl…😃
social media has pretty much ruined the friggin' world.
And eckies
41 now. I was there. This will never be topped. Goosebumps watching this back.
i watch this often...this is one of the best moments ever, i wish i was there, but did see him at red rocks 90's, sooo good. its on you tube, him and chemical bros. man, glad you got to be there, must have been sooooo epic
Was a blinding night! Fab weekend!
Me too! Somewhere to the left down by the sea when looking at the stage. I remember walking into town with a group of mates, seeing the crowd and thinking "We aren't getting anywhere near", then somehow managing to make it closer and closer... Back when house music was at its absolute finest
I was only a baby/really small toddler but Fatboy slim is an amazing DJ!
I feel you man legendary moment sheesh
I went to my last rave in 2002. I was 27. I had been raving since 1994. I feel nostalgic. Watching this now at 50, dancing all alone in my living room.
You witnessed the absolute prime of the scene. 42 here so I wasn't there for the early days.
What an absolute legend he is- walks up in a floral shirt, does a silly pose and immidiately starts handing out bangers like its nobodys business, with a goofy smile on his face. Cool, fun, energetic, and humble, while being an absolute living legend of electronic dance music. Saw him live almost a decade ago and he was bringing the very same energy!! Absolute fookin legend, no doubts about it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This set is the best example of how good life was without social media.
There is nothing social about social media.
I remember the opening song from a cd my friend burned me in the mid 2000s. Something awesome about a getting a new set on a CD for the next drive. Shit was awesome
I cant agree more if you watch recent videos of similar venues its beyond ridiculous. Im so glad there were no smart phones in the nineties
But your watching this on social media…
@@joethompson8180 ohh yeah watching the dowloader progress for God knows how long and then hearing your CD drive open up after maybe another hour or so 😂
Much simpler and very fun times

Thank you! 😘
@@pamelastone8549 You're welcome 😊
Timestamps?
@@matthewdawson3979 Done! Enjoy ;)
@@iwadik Thank you👍
Young Croat, working in UK those days, decided to go to that concert in the morning that very day, catch a train from London to Brighton…. Standing in the sea with six pack of beer in my backpack! Awesome concert! Lifetime memories! 💪
I was there that night too - and now I'm just south of Dubrovnik!!
My parents got married on this day, the reception was at a hotel overlooking Brighton beach, I was too young (11) to fully appreciate the magic of it at the time but I remember it being a crazy scene.
Bro, If I got married at that hotel I would have ditched my ceremony and brought everyone to the street to jam!
21 years. And I continue dancing mentally while I listen. Wonderful set.
Qualidade
Oh yes 👍
FBoy Slim proves it’s not the technique, it’s the playlist. No pride, no chip on the shoulder, just make everyone have fun! I’m 5 years too young for the opportunity to attend this one, but there are no events like these anymore. It’s either a pill or you have no business being there.
There were some gigs reminding me of this one when I was a loose 20 years old lad, with SHM, etc. And it all went away by the time I was 28, and I mean these “everyone can enjoy it” kind of events, like SHM etc. I saw FBS once more in MonteNegro after exit, he totally caved to the pilled up crowd with electro and techno, I almost cried.
These performances were The Rolling Stones of our time, and it was just plain f’n fun, for literally everyone. And right now that’s sold as a bad thing.
I know there are people in the comment section seeing what I’m seeing.
Like I am now at Glastonbury
ruclips.net/video/z3UHSISGgzU/видео.html
Full respect to the guy who created this video. Insane set.
back in the days before phones it took more then 1 man 🤭🤫
It was released with the album of I remember so you had this set on CD and the other disc was dvd.
bro there's like 5000 different camera angles... you think one guy made this?
@@BeachLookingGuy He's probably speaking of the man/people who work to edit the clip, not filming all the videos
@andymallon6440 do you no the name of the tune at 27 minuits?
Coachella could never
What does Coachella have to do with this
Proud to say I was there at the tender young age 18.
Me and my best friend travelled over 300 miles by train with a hearty breakfast of vodka and orange.
I hope there was some other stuff in that juice too. I would have been the fluffiest party animal at the beach 😂
That's fucking brilliant
@@lebowski3748 yes we had tiny snacks ready for when we made it too the beach.
Hehe, did some of those snacks have a smiley face on them? Or a man riding a bicycle?
@@vstrvcvrtv possibly! 😂
this literally looks like the best night ever
It was a record breaking night.
For good reason! 😊
Unless you needed a bathroom maybe😬
I was there. Lived in Brighton from 1993-2006, best years of my life.
Why did you leave
I have lived here my whole life and this is single handedly the greatest night of my life. This video gave me chills and brought back some incredible memories. Thank you Norman, you have a special place in my heart
That's genuinely awesome.
Me too. I know Norman from Reigate days. The club "On the Rocks" He came in one day, maybe christmas time, when he was getting famous lol. I could have done that! I could have been a dj lol. Norman does it amazingly.
i still hear about stories from here
Do you know if that is the old west pier in the background?
@@DaveyHoogland yeah it is
The clothing. The fashion. The sunglasses. The hairstyles. This is a time capsule.
The lack of bloody phones!
The lack of bloody phones!
And absence of tattoos.
@@ryszardluty4857 good isn’t it, people actually living in the moment :)
And the ecstasy ! 😬🤣
Brother Cook. The joy I feel listening to this brings tears to my soul! It’s a searing reminder to live!!!
It's gone now you dont get this anymore unfortunately
I grew up in Brighton & was 15 years old when I was running around the beach at this epic event. Crazy to think how different the world was in 02. Norman played again on Brighton beach last year, albeit on a much lesser scale, but I went just because when Fatboy Slim plays Brighton beach, you fucking go. And it was amazing. Thanks for the memories, Norman.
American here:: I love FBS to pieces. I actually was in London 2003 and saw Judge Jules at the Gallery
Wow! What a coincidence! So was i! This was sort of my 15th bday gift! Lol!
I was in an ESL holiday trip for 3 weeks in Brighton, staying at the university dorm, when this happened and i was thrilled! The English course + the trip was my birthday gift (other than a “sweet 16 party”). My parents almost died when they saw it in the papers in Brazil the next day!
This concert is by far the 2nd best event of my life (1st being my wedding)!
That day Brighton was out of alcohol!!
@@Memespark My fault,..Sorry...!
@@westboundbadger 😂😂😂
This is so iconic. He walks through the crowd to get to the stage, he's waving to people in the crowd, there's a kid with a frisbee at one point. A different era.
57:38 kid with the frisbee
Walking? Waving? FRISBEES? My god, you'd never see that today.
Due to the far higher than expected attendance the local authorities were severely underprepared, which led to many incidents including two deaths, over 170 injuries, and six arrests.
@@takemebacktothen a fat hot blond brod is pulled out.... She looks dead to me
the incidents happen because of a massive free show!
love parade is dead
dance valley is dead
It's his hometown also
Im 41, give me a time machine and let me experience such moments again
x 2 ..
Im 42..too🎉 my daughter always tell me dhe would like to live those so funny years..!! Unfortunately,those communions of transistic dancer sharing smiles swet and goisebumps together...the ferling of the speakers wrombing basses lifted you from ground ....😂
* arent same as they were...and young people arent too
52, ecstasy, it was the time .... the actual getting along vs the media killing each other.
Age is only TWO NUMBERS, be yourself, never be something you are not, but enjoy life, you only have one...
This was the day Ibiza came to England. Probably the best gig that this country has ever seen. Blazing hot sunshine all day and party goers from everywhere in the country.
Remains to this day, the best day out I ever had. Mad to think this was over 20 years ago. Was 3 days after my 20th birthday
20 yesrs ago and this still ranks up there for biggest crowds ever. One of the most legendary shows ever played.
I would put this only second to the Date with Destiny DJ Battle - Fatboy Slim vs. Armand Van Helden. The especially made for the night Satisfaction Skank bootleg Norman made for the night and back2back parts of the battle specifically.
Legendary
20 лет назад казалось что это странный раскрученый бренд в электронной музыке, не представляющий ничего интересного и цепляющего... Так вот не казалось, так и есть... редкое свойство для Британского музыканта.
Never ever take this down from RUclips. It’s the joy we all need!
Proper DJ
Proper vinyl
Proper crowd
Proper good times
🎧🎛🎚🎶🎶🎶🎶
Proper comment!!! 😊
Proper England
Definitely can’t fake it with vinyl
Yawn.... Shut up. His mixing was meh, his track selection was okay and this whole event was a farce. This is coming from a Fatboy Slim fan.
@@mich_flac No but you can be a gate keeping prick with it. Nobody cares.
Fatboy Slim. What a bloke.
Rifling through his record stash.
DJ'ing at its finest.
When my kids tell me that we didn't know how to party, I show em this
😍
YESSSSS!
This was yesterday. Hard to realize 2 decades have passed 😊
Good luck with that.
oh man this is how you party... generation dont known this at all.....
do they ever say that though?
Not only is this one of the most insane sets, this is oen of the best videos of a concert you will ever see. Well done to camera man and editors. Top tier.
Some people will never, ever, realize the importance and the meaning they bring into the life of others. I love the UK, I LOVE Norman and I freakin LOVE Brighton from the bottom of my heart!! Best time I had in m life, My friends, the freedom, my youth... limitless. I am blessed!
A night to never forget... July 13th 2002 the day Brighton beach came to a standstill... And I was there...!!! No smart phones or social media... Just the beach, fat boy slim and 250000 souls enjoying themselves to the fullest 🎉❤
Oh if only I'd been at this party. 250k people having a bloody good time, no phones, no selfies, no filming the whole set on your phone....take me back to these times!!
Amen. Been a trance-house head for 25 years. I miss these days
This is still the way to enjoy a party! Keep it up, friend!! 😁
It was amazing, a great night all round.
You know you can still do this, right?
Just learn to give zero f***s to everyone around you...
literally at 1:08:43. whole camera in the crowd
I remember this. At the time I had no idea how big it was going to be. I met my friend after work who I fancied and we got the bus in. We met a few other friends in Brighton. Must have been the afternoon. I was pretty wasted by the time the set started. Somehow I was near the front. I remember dancing until night. Don’t remember much else except everyone was friends that night.
This is fucking awesome. The crowd looks overwhelming but honestly it’s all apart of the thrill
8:10
No fake eyelashes, no botox, no lip fillers, no phones, everybody enjoying themselves...the way it was meant to be😍
Indeed.
The days when you were not able to stalk influencers and get your head filled with BS fashion advice .
No social media to numb your brain.
@@monk3yboy69 wtf you talking about, ever heard of paparazzi? Lady Diana?
yeah but there was A LOT of exctasy, so we shouldn't get on our high horse =)
@@tobyskatefilms7262 The good stuff's back now my mate! ❤
Yup The world is doomed 😒. What a time to be alive
Outdoors, vinyl, an artist with raw talent and gift, a set from outer space, everybody focussed on the moment, not on the phone or her/his reel - it doesn´t get any better!
Gift from God. Hes a believer and he's doing His work.
I was born in 2001 and I grew up watching this and listening to Fatboy slim, what a time it must have been to be alive
I had moved to Brighton to be with a girl. Living in the city just a few months when this happened. We went to the sea front around 1pm and were right near the front. We could feel how epic this was going to be as the crowds just went on as far as the eye could see. It was one of those beautiful golden sunset days in England, we don't get many. When Norman came out the whole city just erupted in a frenzy. The next morning there were people sleeping in the streets, rubbish billowing down every road. It was party carnage. But oh my it was worth it. This DVD was on in the background of every house party we had for years after. Thank you for the memories. Incredible!
dude that sounds awesome, glad you had such a good time.
The big question is buddy are you still with the girl 🤔🤔
@@adeh503haha nope. It’s Brighton. Life moves fast in the best party town in England.
@@travelwithamate good man, living the dream 👌🇬🇧
great memories, thx for sharing
If this happened now 90% of the crowd would be watching this live through their smart phones 😂😂
I was only 19 here, less than a year out of 6th form having an amazing time 🥹 No camera phones, just raving ❤
I wish I was there. Fatboy Slim is one of the many legends that England has given to the world. Greetings from Uruguay. Thanks for so much good music.
I can tell you it was a utterly immense day and one that I’ve never ever forgotten
@@spraymie I can not imagine. Even Simon Pegg was there.
@Denis Aguirre Y de Los Shakers
@@omegajrz1269 You can actually see him at 49:12 hahaha!
@@ThisUsernameSystemF-ckingSucks Yeah! I like Simon and his friendship with Nick Frost. I've seen him on Star Trek films, Cornetto's Edgar Wright trilogy, Mission Impossible films, Paul, The Boys... he is amazing
This is really making me miss the days of going into the club, posting up next to the DJ booth, and watching the DJ work their magic and digging through crates for the perfect record for the next track. I certainly appreciate the new technologies that have come since then (first with CDJs and now controllers), but there was something so pure about vinyl sets.
Most of the dj’s I see when I go raving are on vinyls,it is what makes me appreciate the music so much more, seeing the talent, skill, knowledge they have is crazy and there are some very good selectors out there still
I watched this live on MTV UK broadcast in Ireland with my older brother when I was a kid. It blew me away and I’ve been a fan since. Super memories.
Such a breath of fresh air to see no phones and people dancing good times
Looks like a terrific groundbreaking approach, I hope it catches on
@@morphyon good one !
Dancing and smoking. Terrible
Because there weren’t many phones back then
@@williambirch-james78 Watching the Brighton Beach docu on Sky, *someone* had a camera phone that they used the night after… although the camera was terrible, mind you, and it probably had like 500mb of storage so there’d be no point filming the thing.
…Which is a crying shame. You can’t get a good vibe of the crowd in 12 different jumpcuts a minute. Are there any good bootlegs from within the crowd out there?
Oh boy, would do anything to transport there lol. The classiness of the set is unmatched, pure legendary jams only. Cheers!
We were moored in the big blue boat and the energy was captivating. People swimming out to our yacht as the tide came in. Madness
What a great video/set/party crowd. Love watching this in 2023!
Rave on!
I am very lucky to say I was there!, will never forget the beach vibrating, it was a sea of people dancing,on the beach, promenade spread all over town in the end, epic isn't an enormous enough word for this show !
Dude looks, moves and acts like a middle-aged dad at a bbq. I love it.
to be fair to him, he was 39 at the time already :D
Gen X knew what they were doing
Fatboy Slim is a living legend
So nice to see people enjoying and experiencing the moment instead of holding up a cell phone. Events like this should be EXPERIENCED in the moment, not missed because you are holding a phone and watching a small screen!
Get over yourself. We had mobile phones and digital cameras
16:01
This is one of the reasons I learned to DJ! Nothing will ever be like this again unfortunately.
Thankfully I was lucky enough to be present for this awesome event. I'll never forget how amazing is was, seeing numptis hanging off of street lights simply lovin' the vibe was the next level. Not a mobile phone in sight, the days of proper partying.
You are so lucky! 💯💯
I was late teens in 2002 so saw some great DJ's and venues in other genres over the years when everything was at it's peak still, but I cannot imagine being at this gig, must've been epic!
Makes me so nostalgic for the way the music scenes used to be. I know there is good music being made still and emerging genres and new artists in house etc, just sad that they don't have the venues and stuff to to play in like those that went before.
@@Kompoismagreed. I started partying in 2000 at age 19…got out of the scene years ago. Recently got back into it and went to EDCO 2023 and it was a blast. I’m a trance head and sadly, trance is mostly dead (you could argue that actually happened back in mid 2000s) but man is House music making a huge comeback. Tech house is amazingly fun to dance to live. Dom Dolla is an old school type DJ. Doesn’t talk hardly ever, his mixes are solid and track selection is on point. Cheers
Some of the best times of my life. Such a beautiful moment captured in time that shows how fun and different things were back then. I wish I could go back! I love that even in 2002 all walks came together for the love of music. That's what it's all about. Thank you to whoever recorded this! It's truly timeless!
I was 15 at this time. The internet wasn't a thing yet. There were no mobile phones. Human interaction was still pure and real. now we are all to sucked into our phones. I'm proud to be part of the generation who expierenced this all for the last time.
The internet was a thing since 1995 for the mainstream….
The internet was a thing, but not like today. We were using MSN messenger on our computers when we got home and sending emails even to friends…. But text messages were expensive and phones only had space for about 10 messages on the memory 😂
@@hannahsakura4487 Web 0.1
Yes there were mobile phones just not the "smart phones"
Oh. My. Gosh! I was there it was epic. I get chills watching this and to think that I've become that person who says "those were the days" ha ha ha
Ha, me too - no smartphones, no social media, just people living in the moment, for the moment!
Wow. I'm a little jealous. Good for you. That would have been a little piece of heaven on earth.
@@andrewgarcia7199 It's stayed with me over time, it was great
How did you get out of that mass of people???
@@Eaglesinthe732 it wasn’t easy!
I bought this DVD at a bookstore in Kansas, USA in 2002. I watched the DVD so many times, the spindle from the player broke the DVD in the center. It still never gets old… ever.
I wish like hell I could have been a part of the mayhem but I’m so grateful it was recorded, and made into a damned fine production! Cheers to everyone involved that made this iconic event happen, and for Norman dumping so much of his own money into it after sponsors backed out! Legends all!
Did you buy it at Hastings?
@@KudzuDigital It sure was… at 135th and Mur-Len in Olathe, KS
@@VictoryAviation Small world, my friend. I know exactly that location... which is now closed.
@@KudzuDigital Ha! That is a small world. I think it’s been closed for quite a while. Then a Hobby Lobby went in after it, or perhaps the Hobby Lobby was next to it?
The DVD was widescreen or square? Looks like they might have cropped this for RUclips.
I keep coming back to this. I wasn't there. I wish I was. Awesome vibe.
I was there in that crowd… i was 20… and full of hope and joy and abandon…… wow…. I am now 87 and the world is dying and everything is bad…
I thought you were 88
So glad to have attended this historic and icon night of dance music, also special as my Dad attended with myself and my college friends
Smartphones have destroyed festival culture. Moments like this will never occur again due to people being more concerned with appearing to be having a good time rather than actually enjoying the moment. We are the last generation of the golden festival years.
So true.
they weren't using smartphones not because it was better not using them, but because smartphones were still 10 years away. Should Steve Jobs had come up with the iPhone ten years before, you would see plenty of smartphones there.
What a strange assessment.
@@ImNotADeeJay agreed
I was there, absolutely fantastic! Lost my crew, found another bunch from my home town and spent the night on the beach. Good times!
Man I’m so glad I spent my 20s in this era! Truly blessed
Me too.
I was 18. Fucking amazing time
Lucky bugger, I'm 20 and the future is looking quite bleak 😂
Same!
Hell yeah. It was so good!
I was on a stag do that weekend... and our group just happened to walk past the beach as it kicked off... had a great time!... was a great start to our weekend, didn't expect it
Never went but my sister and her friends did. I stayed at home and watched it on the telly. But it's great to watch again. Takes me back, 1998 to 2006 were my best days. Music and the nightclubs were amazing back then. Was lucky enough to be able to DJ from 2003 to 2016. Was hard to keep on with it all when I started a family.
Funny, I grew out of night clubbing 1984, saw the housematins twice back then, great to follow him and all the rest since. Moved to Canada 1990 so first time a view.
One of the most memorable days of my life. The build up to this event was monumental. It had been a long and cold winter and this Saturday marked the first warm day in many months. Diggers and Midi General warming up and a period of all-time classic tunes produced collided to make it a concert that will be talked about for many more decades. ❤❤
It was end of July!
@@straightouttacornwallend of July is when the cold season ends in Britain. It starts beginning of August btw.
@@JohnSmith-iu8cj I think you're both on drugs lol
I went to this event and it was awful. It was supposed to be for 10,000 people yet 500,000 turned up. Everywhere sold out of drink, couldn't get into any of the clubs and 90% of the crowd couldn't hear a thing as they were soo far from the music. Other than the weather it was the worst day out ever!
It then took me 12 hours to get home
Did you spot yourself😂
@@straightouttacornwall You weren't actually there, it seems. if only you had been...
Just look at the crowd. So many people just loving the music! Dancing, living in the moment, loosing themselves..... not worried about pics or "likes".....
Every single time I see this I wish I could go back in time to be apart of that, absolutely legendary DJ set.
This just made me realise of how great and fun my youth was✌
Lost count of how many times I've watched this video since it was published here. Amazing concert given by Norman Aka FatboySlim. The crowd ..wowww...great to see the pure joy and happiness!!!
All waxx , All vinyl live and direct 🔥🔥🔥🙌 And the massive crowd no phones no standing around posing just having a blast raving. What a legendary set from the legend himself.😎
The music wasnt my bag (still isnt) but watching it back just now I got all warm and fuzzy to see a box of records and x2 1210s.
And that crowd all in the moment!
Ah the old trusty 'no phones at raves' comment. If phones were common back then people would be the same as today. Paul - DJ since 1997
@@straightouttacornwall but they werent.
@@rleriche5044 No one was carrying a gramophone either
No phones, no standing around just a ton of MDMA lol
When I was just listening to electronic music, my brother bought me the DVD and I kept dancing to it in my room in the dark, I closed my eyes and imagined I was there. In 2011 I had the opportunity to warm up Fatboy Slim in my country Peru, in 2016 he started playing my productions, this is the beauty of music. Thank you for inspiring me to create music.
Much love brother❤😎
What a great story. Greetings from Belgium.
2024 here. Cheers to all you who grew up with this. I wish the best to all your muscles and joints. Let us dance for another 30 years.
It makes me happy seeing this many people vibing in one place
10 mile traffic jam to get there! Got there late, but still up there with one of the best evening's of my life!
We've come a long way baby! 😁
A beautiful time capsule of many things, the music, the style, the people, the incredible atmosphere of thousands of people in the moment with their friends, and not sharing it to social media.
I remember a warm day then a freezing night, we couldn’t get on the beach we were up on the promenade which gave a great view.
When he played Groove Armada Superstylin, anyone who was sitting down suddenly jumped up and the beach suddenly resembled a Mexican wave the way the bodies moved.
I remember “GO WITH THE FLOW OF THE CROWD” on repeat at the end, and walking to the train station to find all the trains were off due to overcrowding.
Then sleeping on a strangers floor and heading back to London in the morning.
What an epic adventure and god bless Fatboy Slim ❤
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen WOW. How have I not seen this before…
Literally everything is beautiful, makes me upset i’ve never experienced this. Glad my parents did ❤
Great decision to share this with the world and post it to the public! It captures so much of the era that may not be forgotten!
I've watched this dozens of times over the years and still don't get sick of it.
This man is unreal. This was over 20 years ago and just last year he produced one of the most amazing sets I've ever seen. It has been quite spectacular to watch
I was there that legendary evening. Groove Armada warmed up and the party was cur off when the tide came in. Unforgettable evening.
What a party! He is a great dj ,thank you Fatboy slim. This is already 21 years ago. Time flys. Today is February 17th 2023. Greetings from Belgium.
Damn, back then it really felt like the UK was the centre of the universe.
Holy shit, what a legendary set and concert. I absolutely loved the "Born Slippy" and "Right Here, Right Now" mix.
I was only 12 at the time. My mum was refusing me to go see this with my friends so i stayed home and listened on Juice 107.2 (the local radio at the time)... amazing! Miss these days where the UK was just fun, free...
No phones. No posers. No influencers. No social media.
You're commenting on a social media site. Fatboy Slim is technically a massive influencer. And I guess you've never used a phone in your entire life?
Real People
Just the odd rich person with a digital camera. Even they were few and far between at that point in time...
Just 150 medical emergencies and a fatality. They expected about 40,000 people.
They got 250,000.
It was carnage 🤣🤣
And no worries...ahh...the nostalgia...
I feel old. This era was amazing. I miss it
Never seen a crowd like it. There were so many doom mongers saying that it was all going to go tits up but people were pilled up and loved up! 6 arrests from a crowd of around 250k. It was unheard of but completely iconic!!
Brighton Council & Sussex Police could only estimate 250k from drone pics . Later digital mapping tech later on in 2010 that 400k wer there that many turned up. 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@BarkingLondon Waw, that is great. Greetings from Belgium.
What a crap of nonsense...
also kinda nice to see no one staring at screens, except for the occasional person taking a picture with an actual camera
Because they all had some good MDMA instead of alcohol lmao
Unglaublich Fatboy Slim hat sich in über 20 Jahren nicht Verändert er sieht immer noch so extrem Sympathisch aus! Möchte nur sagen es gehören immer 2 dazu einen der besten Djs der Welt und ein unfassbar gutes Publikum! Der Beweis das Sea Star Festival 2017 da haben 15 Jahre später nur ca.5% ein Smartphone gehabt! Danke für Ihre wunderschönen Sets!😊
Wow one of the finest sets from Mr Fatboy, can´t stop watching it on LS.D
I was backpacking around the UK that summer and this turnout was all over the UK news. People knew it was legendary the day after. That massive crowd was not expected.
yep, 60,000 were expected and a quarter of a million showed up lol
overcrowding is usual after free galas
Real fans at a real show having a real experience.
RIP to all those things.
I was 7 years old and I still think it was the best performance of all time!
I must admit this smashes most modern music out the window...
It does not, check out Fred again, doing amazing things. This is just party music
@@steve-uu6bbFred Again is ok, but it's nothing new, mate. It's all been done in the 90s,my friend.
@@Sladovsky1 well I started getting into dance music in the late 90s. Tell me who is doing the level of composing along with hard bangers that fred is doing, I've never seen it
@@steve-uu6bb All I'm saying is that Fred again isn't doing anything ground-breaking. It's good quality dance music compared to others.
Yep! 💯
