I like how loud the drums and guitar are in the mix, at least something is live.

It seemed the same for the last gig in Serbia:

They should give Leo more volume in the main mix and trim down the electronic beats (except low kicks and some snares ofcourse)

The only one who can't play a note is Liam, I wonder what he is trying to do at 6'00". Whenever he seems to play notes that are audible, it's always out of tune.

well i thought the show was great...yes same set list as many times before but still good...25,000 people seemed to be enjoying the fuck out of it...i just ignore those talking shit...dont like it dont go...simple easy

disappointed in the merch from the show...red ant label was there...overpriced

no gig poster...two different gig shirts but those looked homemade...nothing else from the gig...red scarf was cheaper than official store

nothing like milton keynes

anyone else go to the military museum at the fortress or the air museum by the airport

great food on this trip...did not like the tuborg beer at the gig..no slivovica or rakija at the gig...wtf

serb people were great...hvala puno

You're completely missing the point of what a lot of people are saying, you can see how stuck in a rut they are by the setlists, the new stuff is so so so poor its beyond belief, the Prodigy will always sell out venues, sell out festivals and get people moving, thats the easy part for them, however musically, its obvious to anyone who's been a fan long enough to spot when its good and when its bad, the band at the moment in my opinion is probably at its weakest since they began, utterly bereft of ideas, the new fresh direction we've been hearing about, nah its isn't, its the crap left over from IMD, its that simple, we know how much Liam struggles to write and how easily he gets writers block, he's said that himself, they need to take some time off and see if they can create some new stuff, if not, pack it in, as a Prodigy fan for 20 plus years its sad but all good things come to an end.....

if this was any other show, i don't think the set list would really be a problem...
but this the Warrior's Dance Festival... as in The Prodigy's Warrior's Dance Festival
this is a special show put together by The Prodigy for The Prodigy fans
but with the same old usual set list, it makes it feel less special and not aimed for the real Prodigy fans at all

i can see how Liam would be stuck in the rut playing the same songs over and over again, it must be maddening
if they switched it up more often, i think it would help the band creatively as well with writing the new album
the whole point with the long wait for AONO was because of not wanting to do the same thing again and make a FotL Part II... yet they are doing exactly that for the live shows. playing what THEY think is a solid set that fans would want while the FANS just feel it's a greatest hits tour. We had out greatest hits tour already for Their Law, we don't need them to continue that. i would feel more cheated if they simply played this same old set over them not even playing a single track from this set in exchange for other ones. it wouldn't bother me that one night they don't play any big hits that their known for. playing the hits is easy, of course its gonna get people going no matter what... they're hits for a reason. but if they really wanna be electronic punks, remaining underground, and doing their own thing because that's what they do... well sticking with the hits doesn't help their case. it's just them playing it safe and not really trying. it feels lazy.

give me a set where not a single song on their current set is played and i would 100% enjoy that a whole lot more. fuck the hits, that's festival tour crap. this is a hardcore Prodigy show and many fans have been there since the beginning. sure they can still put on a great set no matter what, it's the fucking Prodigy. but let's be a bit dangerous and try something different. that would be even more of an epic show. i'm not about the hits, as much as i do love them. it's the lesser known tracks and b-sides that i end up playing more anyway.

Yeah I agree. The setlist is becoming boring and predictable! Warriors Dance Festival is an excellent place to do something different!

Wish Liam just one day could say 'fuck it - today I'm starting with Hyperspeed' ...or something else 8-)

Also the IMD tracks needs to change! tweak or remix them!

They've just been touring too much to do anything decent in the studio if you ask me. It's like doing something you love for a day job, then going home at night and doing the same thing. That might work for enthusiastic young people with fresh ideas and energy. But for a 40+ gadge who's been making music for 20 odd years & rattled out so many albums he probably just wants to kick his shoes off in-between gigs or spend time elsewhere.

At the moment they're just banging out gigs and raking in the cash. They know they probably don't have much longer left, it's approaching the final payday. breathe, Firestarter, Warriors Dance & co keep everyone happy and sell tickets. Now that they've finished touring they'll hopefully get down to some proper time in the studio right?

Im not :? I know the setlist needs changing up, Im just asking, that despite the same setlist, if those that went had a good time or not, lots of moaning about the setlist but did it stop you having a good time?

But no one is saying they are not having a good time... its a Prodigy show, of course its a good time. But the element of surprise in not knowing whats gonna come next is a huge part of the concert experience. It's when you hear that first note of a song you weren't expecting and feeling that surge of "oh shit, this is happening right now." You dont get that when you know oh here comes track A, here comes track B, here's C and so on and so forth. I got that feeling at Roseland in NYC when they played original Thunder and Comanche. The rest of the set I knew what was coming next because of earlier shows. But when the first notes of Thunder kicked in, I was like holy shit, this is fucking happening! I think fans just want more of that feeling. And that little bit of a difference made the show special. And they could play the same tracks over, just at least switch up the order and keep people on their feet. So when people complain, they're not saying the show sucks... they just want that element of surprise back and the uniqueness that each show had. That made the night you saw them special for that audience. If Maxim and Keith diverted from running thru the usual formula that would be a plus. Even if they made a few different solid sets and switched among them as they went from city to city would be a plus. But each show is pretty much word for word, note for note the same. If they played 2-3 hour shows like some big bands and can play a huge part of their catalog, that would be different. But we usually get an hour and 15 minutes if we're lucky. And as much as they wanna play the hits for a more open and newer audience to be able to get into, what about the tons of hardcore fans that travel from show to show in support. They deserve just as much as any newcomer fan when it comes to a Prodigy show. Sure they can still put on a great show, but the predictability of what comes next is what sullies the experience for many. This is all about our love for the band. And let's face it, we all know the band can't go on forever. So why not go 100% full on wild when it comes to the latest shows and showcase as much of The Prodigy history as they can. Each and every track, b-side, scrapped idea, and album has helped build the greatness that is this band. For us fans, it's not about the hits. Yes, they put on a great show, but it could be even better with more variety for all the true Prodigy warriors.
