The following thoughts are my personal opinion on the suggestion that raves be brought into the commercial environment of a club:
With the commercialization of raves will come substitution of E (MDMA) with alcohol.
Once the E is replaced with alcohol, it becomes house/trance.
Also alcohol sometimes leads to senseless violence.
I am not suggesting that E is free of violence, but its effects do not lead people to piss on statues, dance on tables and other mayhem.
Especially at raves.
Remember: the first rave was in the middle of a desert.
Tonight, the rave I'm going to is on an underdeveloped lot at an Indian reserve, far away from the last vestiges of urban life.
Both are open environments.
IMHO the vibes will change radically when ravers are brought into a club due to the closed environment.
This is why I would not consider a "rave" in a club to be a rave, but a subgenre of the house/trance scene.

In order to rationalize the drug-free sanction on recents raves by organizers, I will assume that today's E (MDMA) may be cut with methamphetamines.
Thus the R in PLUR means Responsibility.
Peace, Love and Unity forever!
