Prodigy @ Phoenix Festival, Long Marston, Staffordshire July 18 1996.
A date etched firmly in the annals of rock folklore and I was there
I'll never forget it. A soon as we got within a mile or so of the site, it was like gridlock. We're all sweating our nuts off in the 90 degree heat and then all of a sudden we hear Flinty's dulcet tones drifting over the hedgetops.
Then, as one, we all thought fack this -we're 'avin' some of that & everyone just dumped their cars where they were and headed off across the fields.
It was like Woodstock - motors was scattered like jackstraws all over the place. I can only hope there were no fires or anything that day 'cos there's no way the emergency services would have got through.
Fortunately, the only fire I was aware of that day was the one on the main stage "I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter".
F'kin yeah....
What was yours - IOW '70? Live Aid? Spike Island? Cut Double at Woody's Garden Centre?
