BRAINKILLER FORUM :: View topic - What to expect when going to a live gig

Put it this way... since 1994 most Prodigy sets are 75-85 minutes on average... since they were first played, the following songs have been played at literally every one of their gigs: Their Law, Poison, Breathe, Firestarter, SMBU... I think it's safe to say that these 5 songs will ALWAYS be part of the set, and now I would add Spitfire to that list as well. So basically of an average 80 minute set, you have 6 songs (@ aprox 5-6 minutes each = 30-35 mins) taking up close to half the set. My point is, no matter what, I think Liam will always have his hands somewhat tied as to what he will/can play because there will always be people demanding to hear those songs as they've entered almost "anthem status".

Last week visited Pearl Jam, and it was above expectations.. Intro from Ten (bass-line), followed by Release, and several other tracks from Ten, and the most powerfull tracks from other albums.. All tracks i wanted to hear were played live! 3 months ago the same with Manu Chao in Amsterdam.. One hell of a party for over 2 hours! But what the heck with Prodigy? If i must compare their show with the rest i saw this year, it's a big zero! I saw them in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, and the shows in 2004,5,6 were almost the same in my opinion.. What do you expect when going to a live concert?

yea we've all been complaining about the same setlist for quite a while... seems like 2004 to mid-late 2005 he played an AONO set list, but now he's doing a "best of" set list with a new track here and there (warning, heatwave, dead ken). He wont play new material until its like 95% ready.

True.. Every time i leave after a prodigy gig, there is nothing to complain about.. even if the setlist is the same as the time before that, and before that.. It is always OK! But i must say i was surprised the last time (14-7 @ DanceValley).. i didnt follow their gig's as i used to do, and didnt expect Dieselpower to be played.. So it came for me as a 'shock'! It was one of the tracks from the FotL era, i was hoping to hear for.. but after i while i skipped it, because i never read that Liam played it live (or only as demo, or for a few seconds).. correct me if im wrong! :D
