Just got back from Blackpool, another legendary gig in an amazing venue. Empress Ballroom for those who don't know is a pretty old venue more suited to caberet acts rather than the Prodigy!

Got in to see South Central, fucking shit. How they got the gig to support is beyond me so I just stood and watched in amazement on how turd they were, playing every big tune from 2007 and building up every single one gets boring after 30 mins. BUT anyway...

Same set list as the other sets apart from 2 things...

1 no Jaws fill, this was replaced by a new fill which if im honest wasnt much. It was a fuck off retro synth and a few beats by Liam, nothing massive so need to check my recordings to see if ive got it.

Also encore was TMTTH / OOS and then a huge intro to Their Law, I saw Liam shout over to the sounddesk and say 'One More' and then he played around with the Their Law intro for ages. I've got a video of this so will get it uploaded.

He replaced 'smack' sample with 'Cut the Mid Range/Drop The bass' as well which was a nice touch!

Anyway as ever wicked gig, tight as fuck and left feeling like i'd been kicked in the head. Which is always good.









Images are much better quality but have been compressed for online

i hate to say it.. but honestly *sigh*
gig was nothing special at all.
it's not like they lost their energy or something. it's just this 'same old same old' feeling i got. liam seriously needs to shake up the tracklist.

well when these tickets were there for pre-order they did say this tour was for those who missed out on the small gigs last time, perhaps this actually meant "were gonna play the same shit again"

but i'm not complaining, i'd get outta bed to see prodigy live any day of the year

I knew what to expect set-wise when I got there

The day I get bored of hearing Breathe/Smack etc is the day I stop listening to the Prodigy and stop going to see them live

It was immense at the front as usual, and I'm 28 not 18 and not bored of them yet

yeeeeee Firestarter cut back !

Thx 4 the pics&info , did they change the backdrop or is it still the same with the sirens?


cheers

Background was still sirens behind Liam with lights inside and banks of strobes/speakers around him

Only real change were the Prodigy ragged flags hanging from the top of the lighting rig

those flags are hanging there since I've seen them in November twice that month.

Ahh right i didn't see them on the last tour date in Manchester I went to, so new to me
