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.
I was there too. I wasn’t particularly a fan before but they are the one band i really remember. They were just fabulous.

Saw them in 1996 at the Essential music festival outside Brighton, incredible!

V97 in Leeds. I think they had to stop the gig for a while because of the crowd surges.

2015 at Manchester Central

Fucking loved Prodigy. Always gave a good gig and Keith was the nicest gentleman I ever met. Truly heartbroken when he died.

I saw them at V97 - amazing line up that year!

I also saw Liam Howlett DJ at Alexandra palace on NYE in 2000, that was a great night!

I cried when Keith died.

Your love is my absolute no 1.

Slane Castle in Ireland supporting Oasis! They were amazing. Better than Oasis. Beautiful venue but crap security and organisation!

JudyGemstone · 30/12/2021 19:10

MK bowl - must have been 2010 then!

Loads of older ravers there, was my friends birthday and some kind chap gave us a bag of mandy, amazing night!

TrenchArse · 30/12/2021 19:11

At a Uni ball in about 2005. Keith Flint jumped into the crowd at one point and licked my mate’s armpit.

Christmasbird · 30/12/2021 19:12

I saw them live at a festival where I was working at a paramedic. I saw about half the set before having to resuscitate a young man from a ghb overdose in the pits area. I like to think we resuscitated him to 'take me to them hospital', but probably not. I then missed most of the rest of the set whilst transferring him to the field hospital (I was very disappointed). My patient spent the night on a ventilator in ICU and missed the rest of the festival.

BrutusMcDogface · 30/12/2021 19:24

It must have been 2010, which is strange as I must have been pretty sober then (our baby was a few months old; didn’t take her with us but drove home each night! Luckily not far). It was incredible so I’m thinking maybe sober-ish is a good way to be, as you remember the bands you see! 😉

@EgonSpengler2020 - full respect to you for saving lives ❤️

Blahblahblah21 · 30/12/2021 19:25

Back in the rave days at various places. First time was at madisons, Bournemouth very early 90s 🙌 😁

HotSauceCommittee · 30/12/2021 19:28

@deedeemegadoodoo

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

Chemical Brothers are also fantastic live.

Me too! Glastonbury 1995. Keith was in his giant , clear hamster ball and the Chemical Brothers were also brilliant.
LaTomatina · 30/12/2021 19:34

I saw them in Split in Croatia in the summer of 2011 when I barely knew that I was pregnant with my first child and my life was about to change out of all recognition... Awesome night, definitely the end of an era in so many ways.

Devonchills · 30/12/2021 19:35

I saw them at an illegal travellers rave, in a field in Somerset around 1992.

One of the best nights ever!

God I feel so old now.

HotMessMama · 30/12/2021 19:37

Gategrasher Summer Sound System 2008.
Amazing memories, oh to be footloose and child free again!

FrankiesCheeseTruckle · 30/12/2021 19:43

Always the highlight, jumping up when the bass bins kicked in.
This made me smile so wide and also a little nostalgic tear..
