I've been waiting for about 5 months for this. It's arrived.
Has anyone got any comments on the event yesterday? (the 16th)

haha, you're going to both nights? nice lol
I don't suppose you're going tomorrow too?
Btw, how much are the water bottles? If its anything like the Underworld gig, I'm guessing they confiscate any drinks you've got on you and make you spend a huge amount on a tiny bottle or cup.

How do you guess, i'll be in Brixton as well...
3 gigs in a row and i'm already fucked up.
Dunno about the prices for the drinks, didn't bought anything. Was lucky enough to catch up some water at the front.

Just got back London.....gig of the year (so far..lol) no competition...Prodigy and Dizzee both slayed the Arena...that lighting and visuals were awesome...managed to get loads of great vids despite going nuts down the front like everyone else.
Setlist was yet again the same as Brighton altho I was a tad gutted that they took out No Good from the set tonight...I guess 3 nights on the trot in London was too much for them..lol
Only other downer was the massive fk off queue just to get in the South-East Entrance...wtf was that all about ?

hehe it was similar at the north east entrance, with a bit of rain to top it off
But yeah, was an amazing gig. My first Prodigy gig in fact . My favourite tracks were probably the last three (SMBU, TMTTH and OOS). WD was great too and it was nice to see Jericho in the list. Btw, was it a re-edit? Cos I seem to remember it having stronger beats to normal. Or maybe it's just because I was near the front and everything sounded huge

Brillant show, loving the new stage. Omen went off - had the arena shaking.
the Dj set between Dizzee and the prodigy was long and boring - the only downside for me.

I loved the way Chase and Status got "cut off" midway through a song, so the Prodigy intro kicked in bang on 9.30pm!! But I agree they we're pretty boring DJ's to be honest.

GREAT Great night, apart from the que at the north east entrance, ive been going to see them since 95,96, and last night was right up there with the best nights i ever had, awesome from start to finish, highlights were Omen, jericho, SMBU, TMTTH, and the base for diesel power was epic, that tune needs to be played out longer, such a tune.. IMD, i got some really good footage which i will post up later, speaking to people on the tube coming back there were so many first timers and thats really good, seems everyone cant believe how good IMD album is....of course we already knew that!

Yeah, I thought that Kissy Sell Out has some impressive mixing skills, but there wasn't enough happening to make it more entertaining. It could have been improved by there being an mc to keep the attention of the crowd or the dj could have been center of the stage (cos most people didn't see him anyway).
Regarding Dizzee, I think Bonkers will be a hit. I loved Dance Wiv Me when it came out last year but I probably enjoyed Bonkers more last night.

Still alive, can't barely speak anymore, my voice is pretty much gone, sounding like a wolf... 'Singing' along too much...
As Liam left the stage, he was shouting to the crowd "See you guys tomorrow!" At least, that was what i was reading from his lips, you know what i mean...
