what i cant understand is, that from so many bands it exists SOUNDBOARD recordings, U2, metallica and and and....and from the prodigy i never so one, without any crowds behind...would be so interesting...

maybe coz they are a stadium bands.....

yes but the most festivals are prodigy metallica and so on...and always you can find leaks from them,just no prodigy

but prodigy should think about this,to record the concerts and to sell it like other bands,just a little bit more money and a pretty nice memory of the concert

in internet u can find many many many trade websites of u2 and metallica bootlegs....in the world hundreds (thousends) metallica and u2 collectors....i can't say the same about prodigy....so the pirates thinking about money of those collectors....

i'm sure they definetely have soundboard rec. but they keep for themselves

maybe they'll retire they will release 'em.........

Crowd is a part of live recordings imo.. I like the Brixton 97 show but they've cut out the crowd too much and it sucks..

(If you listen to the shinkiba 06 recording the their law is fucking amazing when the whole crowd goes "Hey! , Hey!" at one point )

Well, you have some pretty good broadcasts (FM and TV) such as Pinkpop 96, Seattle 96, Phoenix 96, etc. It's really difficult to find pure soundboard recordings from well-known bands. Myself, I am a die-hard U2 live collector, and I can only remember a few pure SBD tapes (the most recent was Madison Square Garden in NYC 2001), the rest are earfeed / earpiece recordings (there are several in circulation, they usually are extremely clean and crowd noise is virtually non-existent), or audio rips from pro-shot VHS (they usually record all their shows for private archive).

However, some other bands release all their fucking gigs with soundboard quality, especially Pearl Jam. For about 6-7 US dollars you can download their shows in mp3s, and for about 10-12 US dollars in lossless (FLAC) format. Awesome!

i had The Prodigy Live From Seattle, i think '97 or sometime around then. it sounded like a genuine soundboard recording. crowd you could only if like by one of their mics. you can hear Liam as a clear as day. lost it when my computer crashed. will search in case i ever burned it.

back on topic, new blogpost from maxim:

so , are there any rec of this gig ? ?

Compare these two.

Unstoppable:

Mescaline:

What do they have in common? Nothing, they are two complete different tracks, Mescaline is almost only a fill, and Unstoppable is fastgoing pumpin' track, which sounds pretty finished to me.

dude, your bit wrong over here.
2. video isnt mescaline, its beat 55, it was named mescaline, when heard first time at Gatecrasher, later it went beat 55.
Song what is named mescaline now, is indeed unstoppable, but gone trough some changes, like no molotov sample in the beggining and without that cool quitar riff

IT IS NOT MESCALINE!

xylophone song is new version of beat 55 (it is ofter mislabeled on youtube). mescaline is new version of unstopabble with new lyrics and breakdowns but main beat and guitar is identical.

beat 55 (clubshows) -> beat 55 (festivals with xylophone and 'molotov cocktail sample)

unstoppable (clubshows, molotov cocktali sample) -> mescaline (festivals, new lyrics, breakdowns and ending, no molotov sample)

oh my God!

Swiss Television recorded many of the concerts from the festival. They'll air some of them in the next weeks/months.
But I doubt that we will see anything from The Prodigy. In the past years they didn't allow anything like that...
