TheProdigy

I think if they changed it a bit it could be a good tune to play live. But i think the original is good and i think we are missing out on it not being played live. Its a good song and could be a great tune to play live if it was changed a little

the version that they played in NYC was retweaked a bit, not the same as the album version
started off differently and had extra bits and Liam chopped up parts
plus it ended on those awesome strings
kinda prefer it over the album version to be honest, gave the track an extra kick in the ass

Well each one with his own opinion , i don't mind they keepin the original out.

The dub version is short and bland. The last part is the only part that is different and the only thing that is different about that part is that it has guitar.

The reworked album version is different throughout.

And I will say this, and being from the U.S. I know what I'm talking about, if you can get a U.S. crowd to like a Prodigy song so much as to dance and sing to it, it must remain in the setlist. This was the case in NYC as you can see above.

Also, before the whole world knew of the existence of the Thunder dub, based on YouTube videos, whenever the song would start playing people would go crazy, but as soon as people realized that the beats were different and non-changing, they would stand still and look at the stage with flat expressions. Thunder dub is one of those tracks that make Prodigy look average.

I've never heard the Original Thunder live myself, but I did hear the dub version and it was, next to Firestarter, my least favorite of the set.

THE ONLY TIME THUNDER DUB WORKS IS ON THE WORLD'S ON FIRE LIVE ALBUM!

I would like that either the original comes back and the dub is cut, the original and dub are played together like Spitfire/Spitfast, or there is no Thunder live at all so as to keep from teasing the crowd.

Imo Thunder is an awesome album track and that live version is so powerful.
Definitely Liam should give it a chance again...

how the fuck is this not on a regular set !

Full version from that show...


another angle...


...and the crowd goes wild!

Thunder was the perfect jump/bounce around tune. Literally everyone was bouncing to it, causing the whole crowd to surge around. This, Breathe Dubstep, TMTTH, and Comanche were my faves from that night.

I was lucky enough to hear Comanche once, i wish i could say the same for Thunder...

Yep that was quality live in Cork with Jericho where apparently Liam blew his virus synth

It's called a "link" for a reason. Almost all Prodigy songs on the set have a link to them. Just that Religion is the only one that is a full track by itself.

I won't discuss this anymore its my opinion, i love the track but i think it shouldn't be played live to give space to other tracks (like comache, i would love to hear that live) and i think the same about run with the wolves. The reference to religion link was just me joking -.-'.

what about run with the wolves, that could come in and out for other tracks to have some air then?

I definitly think Run should have been the one to leave, but i think Liam is planning on doing a dark set so he kicked out the party tune (W.D.), this is how i think he is thinking or planing things. Next track to be kicked out might be WOF.
