Please can we chat about it on this thread :)

I've seen them 2009 at Glastonbury
2010 - Milton Keynes Bowl
2010 - V Festival

So epic, I often watch old videos on YouTube and think I would probably die if I went to a Prodigy gig now!

@TinaYouFatLard

I watched them open for Oasis at Knebworth. I wasn’t a fan at the time but they blew the audience away.
My dp was there. As he's told me about 500 times...🤣 He always slips into reminiscing about it after a few drinks. I gather it was pretty amazing.

1996 Brixton
2009 Swindon

Both amazing

91-Stoke-very raw.
They used to call the live acts PA's back then.

Yep…Glastonbury 1995. I’m sure I’ve seen them again, but it’s very hazy.

Chemical Brothers are also fantastic live.

I saw them sitting round a campfire at 3am in the morning in the backstage camping area of Reading in 1997 when I was in a neighbouring tent with a friend of theirs. Saturday night/Sunday Morning I think it was.

They were pretty wasted as were we all. Happy days.

@prettypinkflamingo

I saw them at the isle of wight festival. Possibly elsewhere as well but that one has stayed with me. It was amazing. So loud and alive. I jumped and danced and just had the best time with the strangers around me. Best set ever at a festival!
Isle of Wight 2009. Stereophonics headlined the other night?
ProfYaffle · 30/12/2021 16:29

Twice - once in Manchester mid 90s, again at V festival about 98 maybe?

Both times the power went off - rumour in the crowd was they put too much power through their sound systems. No idea if there's any truth in that!

Both times utterly amazing.

2isamagicnumber · 30/12/2021 16:31

Saw them at Reading festival in 1998. They were amazing. One of the best bands I’ve ever seen live.

Breathmiller · 30/12/2021 16:32

1996 T in The Park.
The only time I got pulled out of a crowd by the bouncers at the front. It was mental!
Went round the side to the back of the crowd and thought ahh fuck it! And went straight back in. 🤣 it was ace!

NevermindNelson · 30/12/2021 16:34

The Island in Ilford. I was wearing a thin floaty shirt and remember seeing it move to the baseline.

KellyABC · 30/12/2021 16:36

Reading 1996. Also saw Underworld that weekend. Would give a lot to time travel and relive those days.

mobear · 30/12/2021 16:37

Alexandra Palace, 2018 - still excellent.

RovenderKitt · 30/12/2021 16:37

Doncaster Dome ‘96

SamMil · 30/12/2021 16:37

Isle of Wight festival - 2008 or 2009 maybe?

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 30/12/2021 16:38

Oooh, this has taken me back...

1994 (I think) Ilford Island
1994 (I think) Brixton Academy
1995 Ilford Island
2009 Wembley Arena

RevolutionRadio · 30/12/2021 16:38

Download festival, I think it was 2006. Amazing.

poorbuthappy · 30/12/2021 16:39

Dunstable 1992/93? I was at Luton University. I think they did Christmas ball. Think. It was good and I was totally ahem emersed in the event 🤣

KeithRocks · 30/12/2021 16:41

First was Leeds T&C in 1992 and last was the No Tourists tour in 2018. It was insanely brilliant and I wouldn't have imagined at the time that it would be Keith's last. He was truly a one-off.

Weepingwillows12 · 30/12/2021 16:42

I saw them twice in 98. Reading festival and a different gig in Reading. Were great both times.

toots111 · 30/12/2021 16:45

I saw them way back in the day when they were not proper famous and just on the rave scene. Seduction all nighters - early 90s! And once after a rave somewhere I met them in the Farthing Corner services at like 6 in the morning when we were on our way home 😀 but also saw them at reading one year, Sheffield uni, Brixton academy I think. Always a good show.

coconuthead · 30/12/2021 16:48

IOW festival. Amazing

insancerre · 30/12/2021 16:49

Saw them at Blackpool empress ballroom in 2015
It was quite eventful
It’s the only gig me and dh and our 2 grown up children have all been to together
Dh fell over coming back from the bar, injuring his shoulder, and spilling the drinks
Dd was spotted in the crowd by one of the band and got invited backstage after the gig
She said the band were all really sweet and Keith was wandering around with his flat cap on and a mug of tea in his hand
Good memories but bloody loud!

BarstewardofNorthstead · 30/12/2021 16:50

1997 at Knebworth. They were supposed to be one of oasis's support acts, but they blew oasis out of the water.

Olliphant · 30/12/2021 16:52

T in the park. I was working so standing on stage at the side and Keith came up mid set asked me to dance on stage! I was too shy so my mate went up. Why did I not go??????????

HippyChickMama · 30/12/2021 16:53

Phoenix 96, they played two sets on consecutive days, first in the dance tent I nearly got crushed in the crowd and then on the main stage. Amazing, the best days ever
