It was Oxygen 2009 was at it. I went to see Eminem instead of the Prodigy at it. Both were on the same time. I seen faithless all right at it.

Edit: it was 2010, was at 2009 as well. Old age is catching up at me

I was at both Homelands and Creamfields they didn't play either of them but they did play Qxegen/Witness at some point.

No it was definitely in kildare, I remember going and being in an awful state, I can't for the life of me remember if they played or if I even seen them at it, but I remember 2 Big acts at it

namloc1980 · 04-03-2019 6:37pm

Saw them twice. Millstreet in 2005 and at the Marquee in Cork in 2014. Awesome.

Atoms for Peace · 04-03-2019 7:01pm

Was probably a bit young for the prodigy during their hayday as I almost thought of Keith as a kind of bogeyman, take drugs and go to raves and you'll end up like Keith.

I rate them highly now though.

They played Witness in Fairyhouse in 2002, Oxegen 2005/08 and HiFi in 2006?

Yeah, I only remember them and Vitalic and for some reason, My Robot Friend and Donnie Darko playing in the campsite.

Great vid here showing the genius of how Voodoo People was created using various samples etc.

Keith Flint, man this one hit hard. Great memories down through the years. Remember being terrified of him when I was young, turning to fascinated later on in life. Such a showman, what a frontman, RIP

I seen them at Oxygen at Fairyhouse, was a lot earlier than 2009 was like 2003 or 2004. They were unreal I never really listened to them before that and I got into them after it. He really got the crowd going. Sad to hear of his passing.

machiavellianme · 04-03-2019 8:19pm

I'm another rocker who had a thing for the prodigy back in the day. A fantastic band. Just as his other band "Flint" with Pitchshifter's Jim Davies would've been had their debut not been canned.
He's leaving a great legacy behind but there are no words to describe how much he will be missed...

The Aaron Ramsay curse strikes again.

The year was 1999 I think, thats what it said on the Google Video link anyway.

Lady Spangles · 04-03-2019 8:55pm

Really sad to hear this. I saw the Prodigy live at a festival back in the late 90s and they were amazing. I wasn't a big fan of rave music in general, but they went way beyond run of the mill 'rave'. He was no age at all.

Beechwoodspark · 04-03-2019 9:35pm

That making of voodoo people video is pretty amazing.

I've seen them plenty of times, from supporting Oasis on Cork 1996, to their 3 Arena gig a few years ago (Omen Tour) I really enjoyed their music. Their far of the land album reminds of when I was on a coach trip on Canada as it was only released and was everywhere.

It's a soundtrack of my youth in the 90s but equally a fond go to "band" in the last 12 months. Their ability for their music to go hand in hand as the soundtrack to kickass really brought that movie alive. I'd have gladly gone and seen them live next time they were here, so it's an extra bit of sadness, not only from his death, but also knowing I won't get a chance to see a fantastic live show from them again.

Whatever demons people have in their heads, talk to people. Too many people are afraid to talk, and unfortunately your mind can only handle so much. Such an unnecessary loss.

NoviGlitzko · 04-03-2019 10:28pm

Awful news. Glad I got to see him live at Oxygen some years back. They melted the place.

Yeah_Right · 04-03-2019 10:33pm

Saw them a couple of times at the Big Day Out in New Zealand. The first time (1997) they were about 5th on billing. The headliners were Offspring and Soundgarden. The Prodigy came on early evening and stole the show. They were awesome!! All anyone could talk about afterwards, was their set.

A few years later they were the headline act and were even better. The mosh pit was insane. I've seen Metallica, AC/DC, Foo Fighters, Rammstien, Green Day, Pearl Jam, Rage, RHCP and The Prodigy could rock as hard as any of them.

Weirdly when I think of the Prodigy, I think of Radiohead. Not because their music was similar but because they were two hugely popular mid-late ‘90s bands who stayed outside the prevailing zeitgeist of the day and did their own thing.

Good point, neither sold out

Soulsun · 04-03-2019 10:56pm

Seen them in Oxygen couple years ago....
Hands down the best gig I was ever at ....
RIP ... What a man!!!!

Bassfish · 04-03-2019 10:59pm

I used to DJ in a metal bar in Cork and the Prodigy were the one dance/electronic band you could play on a Saturday night and everyone liked (especially Their Law and Breathe) . Music for the Jilted Generation is a heavier album than half the metal albums I own!

Stacksofwacks · 04-03-2019 10:59pm

Sad news. Flint was a very unassuming down to earth guy, contrary to his public image. A great artist and stage presence, I dont know if a Prodigy concert would be even possible without Keith. RIP

h3000 · 04-03-2019 11:02pm

I remember listening to a gig they did that 2FM (I think) broadcast I think live back a long time ago. Pretty sure it was during Music For The Jilted Generation time. Bopping away in my parents garage on a ****ty stereo with awful reception.

Frank Bullitt · 04-03-2019 11:26pm

I took this in 2002 at Witness. He came to the barrier and I put my disposable camera up and took this. What a moment.

For context, my Ma took this to a photography place and had it blown up, and framed for a gift for me for Xmas that year.

Declan A Walsh · 04-03-2019 11:45pm

The death of Keith Flint is certainly tragic. Like a number of posters, I would not have been a raver as such, but The Prodigy, as a musical act, and Keith Flint, as a performer, were exciting. Their music is a kind of "electronic punk" and, of course, Keith became famous for his punk style.He was great on Firestarter and Breathe. I also liked Voodoo People and Out of Space as musical pieces. Who can forget that video for Firestarter, and Keith in particular?

RIP Keith Flint - truly a unique performer.

Oasis is just pop music and the Jam were short lived.

James Blunt's music is awful imo, Oasis mediocre but still better than Blunt. The Jam and Blur - brilliant.

But Gallagher, All Bran and Weller have always seemed like dicks, and take themselves painfully seriously (even Noel - the self effacing isn't really thus, and doesn't hide his arrogance) whereas James is a gent, and a great laugh.

Awesome tweet/anecdote.

The Prodigy have been my favourite band since I was twelve years old and had Experince on cassette.
I'm absolutely gutted that poor Keith decided to end his life.
Its beyond sad.

His music is music but he as a person deserved to be treated with respect and as a recon captain for the British armed forces he’s basically a much tougher man than those spas.
