Part 2: The Gig [ 1 / 2 / 3 ] |
| Liam came on stage, Kieron behind the drums and they started the Run DMC Intro to Rock n' Roll. Liam was funnily wearing that shirt, that Keith had been wearing in Greece (lack of clothes in Prodigy??). Now Maxim came on stage and they started Rock n' Roll 98. The crowd was going wild, jumping around like mad. I almost couldnt breathe anymore in front row, but the whole energy from stage was too big to make me go back. Rather die than leave the front row of a Prodigy gig! |  |

Next was the start to SMBU and now of course also Keith was running on stage! He was wearing a grey shirt with a big red cross and now, unlike back in the afternoon where he had been wearing a baseball cap, he now had his '2 horns' as we all know him. Next was Funky Shit, it seemed as it was going to be the same setlist as in Greece. Leeroy was now dancing over the stage in his very unique style, while Maxim was shouting around and also coming down to the crowd. Once again it was incredible, there isnt anything in the world like a Prodigy gig, it makes you forget where you are, and who you are and you just dont care about anything else, you just wanna soak in that gig! |

Now Liam started some jamming and Maxim was rapping to it, like in Prepare for the rush, but towards the end Liam also threw the 'Ride the rhythm' sample in. Then we saw Keith running on stage and Breathe started. Once more the crowd was going mad! As in Greece the next track was We do what the fuck we want, I realized very soon that it had changed a bit since Greece, some beats were a bit different and there was less vocals. Next was Voodoo People and after that the Voodoo People re-remix, "Rock the house in", and once more the crowd was going wild. |
| Without interruption Liam now started Their Law. Oops, Kieron was still behind the drums, there was no one playing the guitar! Once again this song made everybody jump even wilder, Their Law still is one of the best live songs in my opinion, with or without guitar. The same was for Firestarter, which was next, Kieron stayed at the drums, no guitar... hrrrm, I had seen them checking the guitar at the soundcheck, so there must be a guitar part! |  |
 |
But next was Mindfields and then Poison with Maxim on vocals, of course! But the total highlight of the gig was still to follow: Rhythm Of Life! Unlike in Greece also Keith was running on stage now, pretending to have some sort of 'fight' with Leeroy on stage. For a while all 4 of them were on stage and Kieron still behind the drums but then Keith ran down to the crowd again. This song still is incredible live! I'm so glad they played it again. |

While in Greece they had just walked away after that song, now Liam started to play an instrumental track, with very hard beats for about 2 minutes! It was wicked, wicked, wicked, I wished it would go on forever! But then he also left the stage .. |
 |
But
soon they came back and my guess was right, the next track was
Fuel My Fire!
They came in and Keiron finally took the guitar, but, what the fuck! Leeroy was sitting behind the drums!! That was so weird, it seemed as it was more a laugh, even for them (as you could tell from Leeroy and Liam's face) |

After
that powerful last song it was definitely finished, although most
of the people could hardly believe it, and kept screaming for
more.
Meanwhile I went backstage now... |
