The Prodigy 98

One nice thing about heavy travel for work, it affords you wide exposure to a lot of music across the US.  I was on a consulting gig at the University of Michigan and I just happened to check the area for shows and looky what I find…Prodigy…in Detroit…DONE.

So I went to this one alone…in downtown Detroit.  While walking to the theatre from the dimly lit parking lot a couple of blocks away, all I could picture in my head was the teen thugs from the movie Kids and me taking a beatdown from a gang of children.  I have no idea how I didn’t get mugged/raped/killed that night.

Prodigy was absolutely going off – the beats were so loud that it felt like a full body massage to be in that audience.  I got legitimately nauseated from the gut-punching I received from the speakers located on all four sides of the theatre.  Got my grind on with some random-but-hot, inked and pierced chick…good times.  Meat Beat Manifesto opened and I hadn’t heard of them before, but they were awesome as well and I became an immediate fan.
