well i was i kid also (15). great gig. the setlist was sick (almost all FOTL plus voodoo people, posion, their law...). they finished it off with live gabba i was jumping all over the crowd. giz butt was still doin guitars, him and flint looked in their punky best.
the sickest thing was firestarter of course, and they used some kind of twisted reverb effect on keiths vocals, so when he screamed firestartah this TAH echoed all over (kil the firestartah TAH TAH TAH TAH...)

1ST time was in 1997 at the SECC in glasgow!
I was only 10 so I can't remember that much of it if I'm being honest. We were sitting. I can remember some break dancers were on just before the lads took too the stage, after that I just remember a whole lot of shouting haha!
I guess my first proper prodigy gig was the same as cogz: SECC in 05' Went there with one mate (it was his first ever gig) and it was fucking superb. I had to persuade my mate to come too the gig as he wasn't much of a prodigy fan tbh. But after that gig he had nothing but the prodigy in his CD player for 2 weeks haha!
What a setlist, fucking great show. I'll never forget it!

Ive been a fan since 95 but I live in Memphis TN in the US and didn't get to see them live until May this year in the club show in Sheffield (yes I flew over to England for the show and built my graduation trip around it). Sound wasn't the best but to be the first outside of the band to hear WOF and WD was awesome as was the rest of the set. It was an experience like no other, fukin amazing!

My first was year ago, 07.07.07 Creamfields, Poland. Missed 2006 gig because I had to help my dad in work (no more missing Prodigy gigs, I'll do anything to see them, at least in my country).
I was having quite difficult with backpack (no more backpacks on gigs), but it was great, second row, front fo left speakers but great view anyway, I remember smiling to m brother like 'yeah, they rock!', some people were random, some were total assholes (I was jumping all the time in same place, having backpack between my legs so I really couldn't move with crowd) and just in the end one big dumbass came close and just pushed me while I was in air so I experienced falling into the crowd, I get up and hes like didn't even looked at me, so I did my best (I am very small and tiny) to push him as far as I could, he fall on crowd to and gets back to me like 'wtf?' but crowd took him away, what a prick! I always get upset with stuff like that but somehow Prodigy took me with their music away, and I was upset after, not during the gig ; )
Saw boys in 2008, much better because of great material and I was in proper crowd this time (quite far from stage, but in centre), but first one wasn't bad anyway (even with that old damn setlist which everyone complain at).

the first time i saw prodigy live was at Reading Festival 1996. I remember just standing watching opened mouthed. I had just been blown away by the performance by Rage Against The Machine and didn't think it could be topped, but when The Prodigy came on, I was taken aback by just how good they were. Can't remember the setlist at all, but i do remember how gutted I was not being picked to get up on stage with them. Just before No Good started the called up 3 fans to get onstage to dance with them! Must have been amazing for them.
1 year later at V festival, also an amazing gig. I was determined this time to get involved a bit more, spent most of the gig at the front. And if any of you have seen the footage of Breathe being performed, you can see from the helicopter shots just how mad and how everyone was jumping! It was such a great experience.
Few months later in december 97, i did Brixton (the same gig as the footage on the Their Law DVD), this was probably my fav prodge gig ever!
Battersea power station was also a brilliant gig. So weird walking up to the entrance to the venue, the spot lights up ahead, the darkness of the building exterior, and then completely different inside. I think Placebo supported them from what I remember. But they also had some breakdancers as a warm up act, the dj was playing what evil lurks at one point!
was a great time to see the band! seen so many times since, and each every time has been better than most other bands i've seen!

06 Sziget Festival
Everything was awesome by the prodigy
Everything was fucked by the hungarians: the crew, the organizers and everything. We always fucked up the sound, in 97, 06 and 07 too. But I hope Liam's don't hate us so much

I was 15 at the time, can't recall everything, but it was pretty amazing.
I remeber that I hadn't heard some of the tracks at that time (Rock'n'Roll, Voodoo Beats), so there were a few surprises. The only bad thing was that there was no guitarist, just Kieron behind the drums. I remember Maxim kung-fu kicking one of the light-projectors during Mindfields. I also remember that Rhythm Of Life was pretty mad, with all the guys on stage, and Keith and Leeroy running around, as if they were chasing each other.
All in all, it was a great experience, and incidentally it happened to be their last gig of the 90's. With Leeroy leaving the band less than a year later, I am sure glad that I was lucky enough to see them at the very end of a great era.

Wouldn't that have been Leeroy's last gig properly?
