Experience era tracks in the Fat era live sets
ClenShopie
Just out of curiosity, as I've never seen The Prodigy live due to location and
age restrictions, would anybody know when the last time an Experience era track
was performed live? I seem to recall reading somewhere about those songs being
"rarely performed". I know that considering the songs involved in the newer
sets, Experience songs wouldn't fit very well, hence the "rarely performed"
take on the issue, but I would still like to know. Also, if the actual track(s)
were known that would be pretty interesting as well.
Just listening through some live versions of early songs and the question
crossed my mind...

End of 1995, judging by my bootleg collection.

You read the wrong thing. "Never performed" would be a more accurate
statement.

At the recent London tour, the most earliest Prodigy track performed
was Full Throttle (from One Love EP/Jilted).
You won't hear Experience stuff again. (thank goodness!)

That reminds me. I must stick on the live Your Love, EITP (155 and
rising), Fire (sunrise) and Out Of Space recordings onto EN sometime.

I'd say mid-96. The Weather Experience intro was played in Oslo
may/96..

I wouldn't be all that surprised if Weather Experience was played as a
breather between mosh-tracks..

Most Experience tracks will probably never be performed live again.
(Unless Prodigy has a Come-back tour 10 years after they split up. A
'best-of'/most succesful chartwise tour like certain punk bands has
had...
So I wouldn't be surprised if portions of Weather Experience or
Hyperspeed was played live again. (I'd be surprised if they
perforformed more than 1 min. of them tho)

Age restrictions????
Oh yes! The U.S. of A., the land of opportunity, the land of 'cool' raves,
the land of rotten pseudo-democracy-fascism...
I've seen The Prodigy live in my town last year. A small town in Portugal,
with a tiny space by the river where they decided to do a festival with
Prodigy, Smashing Pumpkins, Fluke, Beck, Skunk Anansie and loads loads more.
The place was so crowded I don't know how people didn't fall into the
river... Anyway, I was one of the few lucky ones to be in the front row. I
was 18 at the time, so no restrictions for me, but the amount of kids in
there was just annoying. Also, some old-agers in the nearby buldings seemed
to be enjoying the show more than the people at the back. Anyway, what have
the Prodigy made that could justify age restrictions? Spilling beer? Or...
erm... creating a riot to the sounds of the words 'Fuck'em and their law'
when it was announced that the show would end earlier due to government
regulations... humm.... Films rated 12+ have worse things, so why do these
fascist governments complain with music gigs? Because music corrupts the
youth making it more aware of the real things, inciting youth against those
fascist systems... humm... that could be it...

Oh damn! Didn't know you were counting those.
In that case - August 1996. IIRC, that's when I last heard it. V97,
Chelmsford.

Ah...but I think it was just after V97 when they decided to drop it.

Probably all of them.
Now, some off the top of my head:
Your Love (dropped in 1994)
Fire Sunrise (1995)
Out Of Space (1996)
EITP 155 & Rising (1994)
>(Unless Prodigy has a Come-back tour 10 years after they split up. A

Like almost *any* live band does! It's very unique for Prodigy as a
live act not to do much earlier stuff. Most bands still kick off on
past glories.
In the Kerrang interview, Liam said he was most proud of the singles
from VP onwards. That's probably why he discarded No Good from the
live set last year. (Can't blame him - It was getting dated)

I'd love to see Hyperspeed done again. My fave Exp track.
Bits of Hyperspeed were remixed into jam track stuff around 1994.

If you're after whole tracks I guess end 95 would be correct, but the
intro to Weather Experience is still part of the experience collection
none the less :-)

Full Throttle made a comeback, so a WE comeback isn't that unlikely.
Hoping for a Charly or Out of Space 'comeback' is like praying for a
miracle tho. (hmm.. maybe miracle isn't the word I'm looking for..
Disaster would be more correct I guess.)

All live bands has a commercial comeback-tour ten years after they
break up?

Good move since it doesn't really fit the current Prodigy sound. It's
still a good track tho..
>>>Disclaimer: Not an Experience-hater. Just not fond of it.
>>Same here I guess. :-)
>Yep. I love their 'sold out' (cough, cough) stuff. :)
I don't like FOTL because it's soooo different from Jilted. FOTL was a
commercial move you see. They changed their sound so they could reach
the masses.. (Unlike the Experience sound lol) ;-)

Yes, very true...

Well, just the intro, IMO.

OOS is more likely. But, yes, the whole idea of any of them coming
back would be incredibly rare.

As an intro, yes. But the whole thing, now that would amaze me.

Yes. They were so underground during Experience. No one had heard of
them. Their third single only got to number two! Yeah, number two, NOT
number one! That's like so underground.
And of course, as we all know, the less people who listen to a song,
the better it is.

IMO only OUS, Hyperspeed and Weather Experience are the only tracks
from the Experience album that has a slight chance of being played
live again. And probably only for about a min. at tops if it ever
happens.

I was actually thinking more along the lines of the Sex Pistols

playing No Remorse/Master of Puppets live etc.

They were as underground as Spice Girls are now. (Still wondering why

It's not down to the festival, I guess. It's the ticket company.

MTV Director: "Okay, you lot. Beck has just come off stage, I *know*
Prodigy are due on in just 45 minutes time, but can you wait for just
3 weeks to pass, and we'll bring on the Prodigy on at 2:30am? Madonna
will introduce you, after a long-winded speech about Princess Diana.
You'll all be on global TV, you'll love it!"

It's better than the album one, but it's not that great. But why are
three Experience singles/tracks on top?

Nope. There are other reasons that makes you unable to eat certain
foods.. (and in my case it's not a personal decision either)

Definitely agreed. Even Mel C agrees! :)

That's exactly what the DJ Magazine editorial questioned. Something
along the lines of: "Their second album is their best, yet all the
singles nominated here, are from their early days"

Yeah, that's right. Altho it's more likely the dairy content she
objected to. Gelatine not so obvious.

It's not that I dislike the Experience singles, but at least one or
two jilted/fotl singles should be among the top three. Even in a DJ
magazine readers poll.
It's even more strange since everybody knows that Poison is their best
single so far...

Allergic would be the correct answer.

What are you supposed to eat if you can't eat meat, fish, chicken,
egg, dairy products etc. ? And grass and lettuce is probably not okay
because that's animal food.
Which leaves cardboard, woodchips and water ?!

It's one of those little things in life that the Sp*ce G*rls (tm) like
to brighten up. Just take a look at that "Stop" video, the way they go
around sparkling the lives of those working-class children...

Yep. Preferably SMBU/Poison/Breathe.

Um, that probably explains the poor taste. (Two Sash singles did quite
well. Errrrk)

Erm, biscuits. Stuff from the flour group. Yum yum.

How about a stricter regime of vegans - ultra-vegans? These
'ultra-vegans' could ban the eating of grass and lettuce. :)

No such thing as pure water, IMO.

Readers polls are usually very strange.

Nothing changed in November 97. It's still their best. (Especially
since over half of SMBU was available elsewhere. Kind of.)

Too right. Especially website polls. Why the fuck do people put shit
like Sash or the Shamen in?

That didn't change anything. Poison is still the best.

Most of No Man Army released as One Man Army. SMBU on FOTL. Most of
Head Rock Dub as Mindfields. Kind of.

But of course. That's why Liam and co were all over the media when
SMBU came out. During Firestarter and Breathe, you couldn't find them
anywhere! ;-)

Okay..maybe people like it because they think other people like it,
but don't really like it and listens to other kinds of music when
they're alone? </conspiration mode off>

That's true. They were underground until that firestarter record.

The SMBU(edit) leaves a bit to be desired, the Full vinyl version is
the same as the album version. It's a good track tho. Poison is much
better. (But that is my opinion, you might have another perspective on
the matter)

Um, what did you expect from an edit? They didn't leave any important
