A piece of British music social history c.1992
Vision, Popham Airfield Rave 1992 (was there) 40 000 drugged -up people ! dancing the night away.
It got very moody - the place got rushed by steamers to mug the e-heads - I was ok, dancing on a side-staging for 7 hours (quite blissfully)

Gang of kids who rush through a crowd grabbing what they can. Usually on trains

I was one of the unfortunate 40,000 too!
This Vision event was genuinely the worst night out I've ever had! I saw several people mugged and one guy receiving a brutal headbutt in exchange for the ticket in his hand. I think 'steamers' were the large groups of 'geezas' armed with bandanas, clubs and sticks charging into clubbers, randomly mugging and assaulting as they went! Violent, cramped, cold, wet, moody, muddy - still the prodigy were awesome :)
