The Prodigy live in kiev

the prodigy live in Kiev, Ukraine

PRODIGY IN KIEV, 29th November 98

Thanks to 'Hated' from Ukraine for that contribution!

Well, now I'm gonna tell you about the concert. Prodigy were 3 hours late!!!!(I don't know the reason, maybe they had problems in custom-house again (I mean as in Moscow).

Firstly it was planning that our local band Green Grey will begin the concert and then Prodigy wil continue it. But it was in another way. Firstly the concert was delayed for an hour. And then some DJs were playing ChemBros and some house and MC was saying something like: "Yeah,this is great night!" and was enumerating sponsors. Then he began saying like "No drugs! We don't need them!" and then he was saying about safe sex and such. Guess what the crowd shouted to him!!! And then Green Grey started playing. (GG is Ukrainian band, a mix of hip hop, techno and rock (I like it but that night I was waiting not for it that night!!!).

After 3 songs the vocalist said "Well, I guess tonight you have to listen to us for a longtime!" But nobody believed that Prodigy cancelled their gig. GG playedanother 3 or 4 songs and then DJs began playing again. The crowd was shouting in chorus: "Prodigy!!! Prodigy!!!" And at last they came!!!!!!!

Firstly I saw Liam and then Maxim and at last Keith... no, no, firstly I saw Gizz Butt! First song was, I guess Rock'n'Roll, but Kieron played drums, not Liam. And then was "Their Law"! I can't express it, I couldn't stop jumping!!! I can't remember what exactly Maxim was saying, but the main word was 'fuck'... I only remember that Keith was MC with Maxim!!! Yea, I was surprised, Keith had his mic and they were 2 MCs!!! Then they played something that I don't know, maybe "Ghost Town" (I haven't heard it later!) but I don't know exactly, it was quite slow. Then "Funky Shit", if I remember rightly - and here is Leeroy!!! I can tell you that he is not only a great dancer, he is an actor too!

Then Maxim said "Where the fuck is Kyiv???" and then: "I said WHERE THE FUCK IS KYIV???????" And I guess he was satisfied, he heard Kyiv!!!!!! In another pause between the songs Maxim looked at someone from security and said with his demonic voice:"YOU..." and pointed on him (that man was beside me, I was right in front of the stage!) .

Again Maxim said "YOU..." . That man looked at Maxim, he couldn't realize what he really have done, but everyone who was beside himshowed him "Fuck off". Yeah, it was very interesting part of performance!!!... Maxim satisfied again...

Now I can't remember order of songs, but it were: Breathe, Voodoo People, Mindfields, Firestarter, Poison, Serial Thrilla, Smack My Bitch Up & at last Fuel My Fire... While Breathe &Poison Maxim as usually asked the crowd to sing. It was a surprise that after Voodoo People they played Dust Brothers remix and Maxim asked us tosay with him 'rock the house in'. Every song was very interesting to listenwith live drums. While SMBU Maxim said: "That's what we want to do!" "That's what we do!". After SMBU the light was turned off and Prodigy left.....

No,no, we need more! And again the crowd cries "Prodigy!!! Prodigy!!!" And they are back! !!

We all knew that this was the last song - Fuel My Fire! And as I remember Maxim sang too! ! And that's all! The light was switched, everybody was satisfied. Now I still can't remember the details of the concert, I just enjoyed it & I couldn't stop jumping all the time!!! And now I understand why you wanted to go to Ukraine from Switzerland!!! Yeah, it's worth that!!!! It's a great energy! What I want now is to see this concert on TV and to record it. 'Cause one of the sponsors of the concert was Ukrainian TV channel & I'm sure it will showthat concert! Now I'm satisfied, 'cause my dream came true & that rumors about the tribute band didn't. I'm happy now!!! Well, that's all. I hopetoday we'll talk in chatroom. Bye! Hated

THANKS TO HATED FROM UKRAINE!!!!
