The Prodigy — Pinkpop, Landgraaf, 2005
Why this recording
Liam Howlett on machines, Maxim on the mic and Keith Flint, who died in 2019: the video brings the band's three figureheads together on the Pinkpop stage in 2005. The fifteen-part setlist starts with a taped "Wake Up" intro, moves into "Their Law" and "Wake Up Call", slots "Mindfields" and "Poison" ahead of "Smack My Bitch Up", and closes on "Out of Space". The Pinkpop Archive channel uploaded it in HD in December 2025, with a 65-minute running time.

On May 15, 2005, The Prodigy set the Pinkpop festival alight at the Megaland site in Landgraaf, the Netherlands. This full live concert captures the British big beat band around the compilation Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005, led by Liam Howlett on the machines and carried onstage by performers Maxim and Keith Flint. The full concert runs through a setlist of devastating hits: Their Law, Breathe, Firestarter, Spitfire, Poison, Smack My Bitch Up and Out of Space to close. An explosive mix of rave, punk and electronics, the performance illustrates the stage force that made The Prodigy one of the greatest live electronic acts of the 1990s and 2000s. The wall of bass, the sirens and the hardcore energy turn the Pinkpop field into a vast dancefloor. A valuable record of the Their Law era, this 2005 Prodigy live concert at Pinkpop remains a reference for fans of live electronic music, big beat and festivals, documenting a band at the height of its power in front of a Dutch crowd primed to move.
