1. Impressionen vom Athen-gig:
ATHENS 2004 REPORTS
schumi19gr: I 've just returned from the show to my homecity Kavala. In the beginning after a dj set from a greek dj Leeroy started his own. He played 2-3 good songs but it's very obvious that he is an amateur dj and mostly sucked. Special Notice "Leeroy played his set and then left. He is not a part of the Prodigy show".The Likavitos Theater was full (tickets was officially 5.000 but i think there was more than 8.000 people). Almost at the end of the show some fans that didn't have tickets climbed(!!!) the mountain and went in the theater from backstage illegaly. The sound was fantastic. 160 speakers and 32 subs !!!!! You could feel the ground shaking!!! The tracklist by order of play:
1. Wake up call . People went crazy with this great opener.
2. Warning . The new song that liam with keith prepared especially for the gig but it was nothing special. Sounded a bit like "Fuel my fire".
3. Their Law . Great as always!!!
4. Spitfire . Also good with Maxim vocals added!!!
5. Girls . Half they played the original and half "more girls" which is much better!
6. Breathe . Total chaos!!! Everybody was jumping....
7. Medusa's path . That was a pleasant surprise as Liam played the same melody of the song but with a better and fatter beat. Also liam was alone on stage in this song as keith and maxim were really tired after the screaming and jumping of "breathe".
8. Hotride . With Keith on vocals but i prefer Jullete Lewis doing this as Keith sucked on this one. One of the weakest moments on the show.(Liam!!!!! Please play the female voice sample next time!!!)
9. They way it is . A little better than Hotride but nothing special about it. Just a filler in the show.... Great bass though!
10. Mindfields. People started to warm up again.....
11. Firestarter . Keith gave us a great show like screaming jumping and spitting beer on fans. Hahahaha AWESOME !!!
12. Poison. People asked it-Liam played it. Great moments...
13. Smack my bitch up. Unfortunately he last song of a great show but..... Prodigy gave everything they got!!! The sound was wicked. Great performance.
I have to say one thing though.... It's obvious that fans reaction was not so warm on the new album songs except "Wake up" and the "More Girls" tracks.....
breakbeatsz: "The hall thing started with leeroy on decks. He played for about 2 hours and the hall thing sucked cause he is very amateur as a DJ and the music style he picked was if i was in super paradise (mykonos) or ibiza (spain). Leeroy did not appear along with others members afterwards. Then came the big moment. Maxim was wearing a skirt like thing (i believe is the policy for promoting girls) and keith a leather jacket and trousers. The open theatre was full, i really did not expect that much people and really hoped for more tracks to be performed.
june_hcw: Well i've got a lot of photos and videos from leeroy, but when prodigy came out it was a really panic! I couldn't got even 1 photo of the band even if i was on the front line just in front of them. I'll upload the pics tomorrow.. And by the way... The video is coming from the gig these weeks... stay tuned!
