The best part of this set was the band actually stopped playing at one point cos people were getting crushed at the front. They said "we need to all look out for each other" and were helping people across the barrier. Keith was such a gentleman at heart and it really showed in that moment. So glad I got to see it in person.

[@kevinkibble8342]

Were you at Leeds? Something similar happened there.

[@SiobhanMazzei]

@@kevinkibble8342 nah I was at Reading!

[@homedogoli]

I was getting crushed near the front on the right at that point, gave me a chance to retreat a bit lol. It definitely got a bit out of hand. My mate's face was covered in blood after getting smashed in the head by a stray bottle but refused to go get medical attention, we still enjoyed the hell out of the rest of the gig. One of the best sets I've ever seen live.

I got crushed at the front, thought my ribcage was going to be flattened. Big security bloke carried me over like I was a toddler😂

[@lynnepaquette4124]

I love his voice so much. There's something about his voice that gets me.

[@GetOnTheFloor82]

Absolutely mental. Brilliant. When I'm 60, 70 and even 80 I'll be listening to this legend. 1990s were the best decade ever.

[@WSO83]

Facts, I see them live at Reading in the 90s, shit was an incredible experience

[@toddheywood8837]

Not that the music they produced wasn’t incredible, but I think the 80’s were the best by far

[@moodswinggaming2972]

they really were, everything went tits after 9/11

[@johnlawler1446]

Saw the live numerous times over a 20 year plus span, never disappointed, RIP Keith, keep dancing ❤

[@tangerinebabe1]

My daughter was recently talking with her friends on a lunch date. She's 37. The discussion turned to music they grew up listening too. Her friends laughed about their parents listening to Johnny Cash, Elvis and David Bowie..... My daughter laughed and said her childhood memories are of the house being filled with the sound of Prodigy. THEY ALL FELL SILENT (with shock) 😂😂😂 I still love listening to these nutcases but headphones are the one these days.

[@joerandl9252]

i wish so badly i could’ve seen them live. RIP KEITH.

[@getthoseskills4451]

What a performance. Britain really does produce some talent. I'm also loving other various UK electronica based acts like Faithless, Burial, Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Unkle, Autectre, Massive Attack, Orbital, Leftfield, Stereo Mcs, The Streets, Goldie, The Bug, Allflaws

[@phelou9620]

If this was played in a day and age like this, there would be nothing but phones and a generation that knows nothing about this kind of music let alone the band. Looking at this video and seeing no one with their phone out and just enjoying every moment of it is just so refreshing to see

You can actually pinpoint the moment the crowd realised a banger was on. The early part of <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="30">0:30</a> is when they all go crazy, but i heard some keen-eared fans at late <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="29">0:29</a>

My 18th birthday and was pretty spangled. I was on the other side of the security fence behind the moshpit and a man handed me his (under 10) child, whilst he and his wife as ran into strangers and wrestled people. After 10 minutes I gave him to security 🤣
