Thanks a lot robot! :)



I'm just 5hs away from my trip, now I got the confirmation that I have my TICKET!!!!

EVERYTHING IS READY!!!!!!



I'm so nervous, and so excited!!!!

Skylined, it sounds like you're about to embark on a musical journey!



Enjoy, you've waited long enough. You deserve it! 8)

Have fun Skylined!! And give us your review

HAVE FUN MAN!!

I'm thinking of u!!!

Well, I'm back! :D



So much fun! Such a party!

I'm still a lil bit deaf, I was like 6m away from the stage, and just one or two people away from the "corridor", and I was just facing the middle of the stage, the corridor was a lil bit to the right.

I didn't want to go to the front, and I wanted to be near the corridor, so I could see them, and maybe touch them when they went down from stage.



I'll make some kind of "review" but not now, I'm very tired and still excited. :D

I won't tell you which songs they played and in which order, I just liveed each moment to the max, I wasn't thinking about making a review, but I'll try to do my best to let you know how I was living that great show.



I also saw Audio Bullys, and they played Out of Space.



Unfortunately I don't have pics nor recordings, all I can show you are my scars. :D





Sorry if my english is bad at this moment, but I cannot even write in spanish as I should. :P

Hey Skylined, you should write a review.



It feels really good to get it all out, it really really does. That's why I love writing reviews while everything's still fresh in my mind, when those moments are still stuck in my mind with needle sharp clarity. And that's why I love reading other people's reviews, it gives me a different perspective and as in most cases, allows me a taste of what it would've been like to be at that particular gig. Don't worry about set orders/set lists (I mean come on, in my mess of a review for Coachella, I managed to butcher the set list in the process).



It's all about writing how you felt at certain moments! You've been wanting this for so long, I think it would be brilliant to read how it affected you.



So glad to hear you had such a great time!!

Maybe I'll just start writing a txt, and I'll add things to it.

I'm writing it, you'll have a nice read for some minutes. :P

Part I



Time to get ready to go to Creamfields!

It was like 6pm, I didn't want to go too early, I didn't want to wait in a big line with the sun burning me down.

Some people said that you should go at least one hour or one hour and a half before a group or artist that you like started to play.

I took a look at the map (I'm from Uruguay, not Argentina) and I thought that the best thing I could do was to go to a "main" street where a lot of people would be heading to Creamfields. I was right, but I found some people that were heading that way before I got to that "main" street, so it was really easy, all I had to do was to follow them. :)

I thought that the place was a little bit closer and I had to walk more than what I thought I would.

As I was getting closer and closer to the place, more and more people appeared.





The line was going really quick, it was a real pleasure. First of all they told us to have our ID and ticket in our hands.

Now it's time to check what we're carrying, I had nothing in my backpack, just some clothes in case it got colder at night, I just wanted to enjoy this party, so I didn't even bother to go with a digi cam nor a tape recorder.

Now it's time to check what I have in my clothes, the guy notices something strange under my clothes, it was just my passport, just in case I lost my ID, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get back to my country the following morning. Then he takes a look at my camouflage trousers and says "If you're just carrying heavy weapons there won't be any problem" :P

I'm clean, so I keep walking and I have to do one more stop, this time ID. I saw many people going through this part, and when I get to the guy I get a "ID please", I think to myself "...and once again somebody thinks that I'm 17 for how I look", then he looks at me and surprised he says "80" and gives me my ID, yes, I'm almost 25, not 17!

Now it's time for the final stop, the final line, my ticket gets cut and I'm inside! :D



I got a paper with the line up and the site map, although I alrady had that in a piece of paper I had previously written. ;)

As it was already time, I headed to RBK's tent, where DJ Buey was playing. A guy said that he played DnB, I stayed a little bit and then I went away, that wasn't DnB, and even if it was, I didn't like it.



So I have some free time before the next show, time to walk a little bit and take a look at where every tent is, shops, etc.

Now I know where everything is, so it's time to go to the main stage, where The Prodigy is going to play.

There it was, the main stage, with a corridor in the middle, of course, where Keith and Maxim were going to walk by. ;)

The corridor was off centre, so I went to the left side, where I could be right in the middle of the stage and have a great view.

Unfortunately when I'm on the left side, I hear the speakers sounding like shit (when they sounded). I had no idea who was playing and I didn't like what they were playing, but I stayed there until that sound problem got fixed, and it got fixed. :)



I still have some extra time, I take a look at the site map, and decide to go to a records stand, I wanted to get The Singles. There they are, Music for Jilted Generation, The Fat of the Land, Baby's got a Temper, but there's no The Singles! What a bummer! :(

Time to take a look at the merchandising. I get to the tent where there are some lines, I just had to wait a little bit, but before that I went into the tent to have a look at what I could buy. There's a The Singles' t-shirt.

I bought a hat, but decided not to buy The Singles t-shirt, it would be lame to get that.



Time to get back to RBK's tent once again, this time to see Bad Boy Orange, now this is what I call DnB.

Years have past since I last danced, and there I was, dancing once again. I would love to do that over here, but unfortunately, there's nothing like that. :(

Really nice music, everybody was dancing and having fun. Then I see that the screen behind him says "Bailen Putos", there isn't a literal translation, but it would be something like "Dance Motherfuckers" or "Dance Bitches". After that they start giving "banners" with that same thing, it was fucking funny and I started laughing.

Time to leave the tent, I was very thirsty.



The bottle of water(500cc) was 5$A, that's like 1.75US$, when for example here I pay less than 0.75US$ for 1.5 litres, OUCH!



I went to the main stage once again, just to check how it was sounding, how many people were there, just to know at what time I had to go to have a good spot to see The Prodigy. It was pretty easy to get to the front.

While I was there, I was listening to some good music, I really liked it, I had no idea who was that group, but I was having fun.

The sound, the best way to describe it is saying that it had that Liam's Dirtchamber Sessions sound, it was a mix of old and new stuff.

Wait, I said that getting the shirt was lame, I fooled you, of course I bought it, and started wearing that same moment, I didn't want anybody to steal it from my backpack, so the best place to keep it safe was on my body. :D

Back to what I was telling you before... I wondered who was that group that was playing, it was Zuker XP.



I stayed at the main stage, because Audio Bullys was coming next.

I had a lot of fun with this, I danced, jumped and had a real great time.

Somebody from behind says "hey, your backpack" and I think to myself "fuck no! somebody has opened it and got my stuff!". I start touching it and every zipper was closed, then I realized that Skylined + Backpack = Bothers :P

Once again, I was thristy, I felt I was going to die, but I didn't want to go away, I already had a good spot to see The Prodigy, and they were playing right after Audio Bullys. I had no option, I had to drink something.

As I started walking to get some water... "OMG! I cannot believe it!!!". Yes! They started playing The Prodigy's Out of Space remix!!!

I was at the back of the main stage, where people were mostly quiet, and I was the only mad person dancing, jumping and singing Out of Space, some of them were looking at me like "are you mad?", yes I am! I was waiting for this song to be played!!! :D



I had my water, which lasted 2 seconds, so it's time to get back to the main stage.

On my way to the main stage I see a girl that has her backpack opened, so I touch her shoulder, she looks at me, I tell her about it, then she thanks me and I keep walking back to the main stage. I've used a clip to keep my backpack safe from that kind of stuff.



Stay tuned for Part II ;)

''Are you mad'' YES I AM! :P



And the whole like relationship with the backpackers :P Looking out for one another and stuff



Really good review, keep going skylined make it funny :)

Waits for part 2 X-D

next time bring an extra clip for your backpack ;-) Amazing way to hook up with a girl 8)

I shouldn't have said that, now every girl is going to know my tactic and every guy is going to use it. :P



Still writing Part II, The Prodigy. ;)

Part II



It was already dark, a lot of people were already at the main stage, but Audio Bullys was still playing. I tried to go to the front as far as I could, but I didn?t push it that much, because I knew that they were about to finish and a lot of people were going away, so it was going to be a lot easier if I just waited some more minutes.

One of the things that made it more difficult was the amount of plastic glasses, Speed cans and water bottles. Sometimes I pushed some people, not on purpose, it was because I stepped onto one of these things, but other than saying ?oops, sorry? with a nice smile, I could do nothing.

That was one of the bad things, there were no garbage cans, I threw all the bottles where they didn?t bother, but everybody was lazy and just dropped them where they were, and others just threw them, and you could see flying bottles, cans and glasses.



Audio Bullys is gone, I had a great time, but I?m glad that they?re leaving, because next, comes THE group that I love, The Prodigy. :D

Some people start leaving, some start to come to the main stage.

The ones that are leaving, are those with ?good clothes?, you know what I mean. ;)

Others went away, or just moved all the way back, they knew that with The Prodigy everybody was going to be jumping, and you might get some kick, punch, etc, etc due to some pogo and jumping.

As some of them were going back, I was going to the front, and near the corridor.



When I was like 6 metres away from the stage, and just an arm away from the corridor, I saw a guy wearing a white t-shirt with MFJG?s inlet drawing and I thought ?yes, this is good, he?s probably a Prodigy fan, and he doesn?t seem to be a ?new? fan?.

When I was next to him I said ?hey, nice t-shirt!?. In response I got a ?yes, I love it, this is going to be great!?.

He was with his cell phone, getting on top of what was between us (the crowd) and the corridor, trying to find somebody. He started looking to the left side, ?no way, I won?t go there, come over here, here?s a great place!?. And then his friend arrived, with the exact same t-shirt, and one more guy that seemed to be with them.

So we started talking, they were all excited. One of them told me that he saw them there, in Argentina, back in 1998 and it was a great show. Then the other guy says that he saw them live at Madrid, Spain, I?m glad to be with people like this, real Prodigy fans, so I stayed with them. I was in a very good spot, the stage was just there, very close, and I was next to the corridor where I could have a real close look at Maxim and Keith.

There was another cool guy that didn?t seem to know The Prodigy, but he was a real cool guy and we were sharing our excitement with him, he also asked which kind of music he was going to listen, etc. He seemed to be really interested in what was going to come.



Only 5 minutes!!! Just 5!!!

While we were waiting, there was a DJ playing some music, and some guy bothering with a whistle. I wasn?t the only one that was going to get pissed off if that fucking thing kept sounding, the guy I was with said ?fucking moron!?, ?don?t worry, he?ll swallow it when the pogo and jumping begins? I replied. :P



People on the stage are coming and going.

Liam?s weapons were at the back of the stage, I saw them in my first visit to the main stage.

The lights and the big globe start going down, not in intensity, just from the ceiling, we were getting closer to the start of the show and I was getting more more more and more anxious, excited, nervous, etc.

Then like 4 or 5 of these guys on the stage get to where Liam?s equipment was, and? OMG!!! OMFG!!! OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!

They brought it almost up to the front, the guys that were with me couldn?t believe it either, we were uber happy! Liam was going to be right there, just some metres away from us! :D

?Please, bring the drums, please, bring them to the front, cmon, I want live drums, please!?. The cool guy asks me if they play with live drums, I told him that they have been doing that lately, and the live guitar was going to be played, 100% sure about that.

But the dark set of drums was still there, at the back, while everybody was trying to do a soundcheck or something, and others sticking papers to the floor.

A guy appears with the guitar and starts playing a little bit to do a soundcheck.

A couple of guys went to the? YESSSS!!!! YESSSS!!!!!!

They were bringing the drums up to the front, CONFIRMED LIVE DRUMS!!! :D

At that point I was about to explode, uber happy and excited.

It?s already time to start the show, but the guys keep coming and going on the stage.

Some people start shouting(me included) PRODIGY, PRODIGY, PRODIGY!!!

?What?!? I shouted, the sound was good enough, but surprise, they brought more speakers and they put them behind Liam?s equipment! :D

?OMG, we?re going to get blown away!? said the guy I was with. X-D

They started with the drum soundcheck and then a guy started the soundcheck with Liam?s equipment, he was blonde, so I said to the guys that were with me ?hey? look, it?s Liam! He?s a little bit fatter isn?t he?? :P



The show was already 5 minutes late, and I kept taking a look at this guy?s watch.

Then he tells me ?look it?s Liam?, so I looked over his shoulder, and there was Liam, behind the stage! :)

A couple of minutes later some people started shouting, like if the show was going to start, so I take a look at the stage and this guy says while he was laughing ?ha! they thought that Liam was the one standing there!?, and there he was, the ?fatter Liam? once again, the guy that was doing the soundcheck. X-D



10 minutes? still nothing, everybody started getting nervous and started shouting ?cmon!? while others started whistling.

Meanwhile I was talking to these guys, we were talking about what they were going to play that night, and I said that they might play some new songs from The Singles. Then I remembered, and asked them if I could get The Singles in any record store, but they told me ?No, it?s going to come someday?. :(



15 minutes, still nothing, I started to get a little bit pissed off, I didn?t want a shorter show because of any kind of delay, I wanted a FULL show.

U LIKE TO KEEP IT EXCITING DONT YOU }:-) }:-) }:-)



You're evil! where is part 3 ?! :P

yes yes part 3 pleese!

No, there's no Part III, I got bored and went away. :P X-D

This is the t-shirt. :)

Now it's clean, and I think that a little bit bigger too. :D

:'( Looks like ill have to read this tomorrow.. when i come home from school.. Awh..



It was gettin really good... and it seems like the prodigy are about to ocme on

X-D Skylined, you've about got me beat in lengthy reviews!



This is an excellent read, I knew you could do it! I just knew you could.



You've described so well, I can feel the anticipation and the buildup to the gig. I think when you go see your favorite band play, no matter who they are, that feeling is universal. Man, oh man how I love that feeling of anticipation.



I eagerly await part III. 8)
