sound problems at the prodigy

[port]

Curious as to why the sound at the Prodigy was so bad. I know the wind was blowing right to left but that doesnt account for the lack of bass.

Me was supershocked as every year previous to this one, the Other Stage has had the best sound on site apart from the Jazz. It proper ruined my experience and really wish I had gone to see Blur now.

Where we were stood middle to back it was practically silent compared to the stomach mashing bass of The Chems in 07!!! :angry:

I do wonder if the kicking they have had in previous years about the sound on the main stage meant that they concetrated on this rather than others. There have been thread about smaller tents having to turn their sound systems off due to Springstean taking all the Db for the site.

I don't think it has anything to do with the other stage. The sound was terrible at Download too. We left in the end to watch Slipknot.

The sound was fairly poor at times the pyramid for the boss had to much bass at times just thump thump thump during it.

[Mr.Tickle]

Hmm, I was centre middle, in front of the sound stage and it sounded BLOODY AWESOME!!!

[miniand]

We too were middle middle and the bass thumped through my entire body,Bloody awesome

The prodigy set was just latest in a long line of Glastonbury gigs that have been ruined by the awful sound. In previous years it's mainly been the Pyramid but this time the Other Stage too. It's beginning to really ruin the experience for me. It's no fun wathing a band like the prodigy and having the crowd around you having to shout "turn it up" repeatedly between every song, and I was almost next to the mixing desk too, are they deaf?

I have recollection that the Prodigy only played for bout 50 mins and didn't do an encore, is that right? Bit blurry at this point see! Enjoyed it but left wishing i'd gone to see High Contrast and Chase&Status instead, was very disappointed.

Was in middle towards the left and had no problems with sound, just to follow thread!

The sound outside the Queen's Head screens when Maximo Park opened was rubbish too, and there were thousands down there at that point. Poor do.

The played 16 songs, about an hour and 15 minutes, which is a standard Prodigy show and they played a 4 song encore.

I was up front and the sound was HEAVY!!

[crimsonking]

i swear down thats a lie. they were on for less than an hour and there wasnt an encore they just WALKED OFF!!!!!!! everyone was like 'WTFFFFFF'.

[spikytom]

omen twice?

i was at blur but a few things over the weekend were runied by being too quiet. Dance lounge for the nextmen on friday night was really quiet and the arcadia too. we were standing right next to it on saturday night about headline time and could hold a normal conversation without raising voices, which is just wrong! they should've been blasting it out at that sort of time.

Pump up the volume, please!
