Past INmusic Festival lineups & sets (Archive)

The Prodigy was incredible—absolute madness! It’s just a shame the venue was such a muddy mess, and they didn't even throw in "Out of Space" at the end...

The Prodigy is nothing short of a sonic and visual assault on the human psyche—in the best way possible. 👍
The Chemical Brothers, on the other hand, were just plain tedious again with those half-baked rhythms. Honestly, compared to their performance back in The Bronx, they’ve actually taken a step backward. Their new tracks are 🙂

As for Live Nation, I wish them nothing but the best, though my message comes with a grain of salt: :2up: :2up: :2up: :2up: :2up: :2up: :2up: :2up:

Yeah. They could've just brought in some sandbags or something and covered up all that muddy crap.

Raymond Barrett12 said:And honestly, I just want to wish the organizers all the best with this message:

Give me a break. The organizers are absolute garbage. You couldn't find a single wristband on that patch of dirt unless you were some millionaire willing to drop a fortune just to catch one band you actually care about. 🙏🙏🙏

Arthur Barnes said:The Prodigy actually opened things up with Eye of the Tiger, which was such a fantastic way to kick off the energy. Then they leaned into the vibe a bit, before hitting us with Breathe, which was easily the most explosive, high-octane moment of the entire set. After that, it felt like the band might have run a little low on steam, so the intensity leveled out quite a bit. They still had those wild moments with Voodoo People and Smack My Bitch Up, though. I honestly can't believe they skipped over all that funky stuff—Serial Thrilla and especially Out of Space. It was such a massive letdown. I’m seriously disappointed they didn't play Phoenix.

I’m right there with you; I really wish they hadn't skipped those tracks and Bad Meets Evil.
Overall, I had a 🙏, even if you could tell at certain points that they were just running on fumes. I mean, come on, they aren't getting any younger. 😬

At the end of the day, I finally got to see them live, and that's what truly matters to me. 😍

But considering they started off with Eye of the Tiger, I have to give them a 🙏🙏:
When Poison transitioned into Kraftwerk😲, I swear my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. 😬

Even Phoenix didn't sound half bad live, to be fair, but man, it would have been Bad Meets Evil to hear Charlie too. 😢
I ended up knee-deep in Muddy mess, lost my jacket🤣, and definitely had a few too many drinks, but I had the absolute time of my life. 😍

edit: I thought I had grabbed my food voucher for some chicken and rice, but it turns out I'm still holding onto it. :zubo :

I honestly feel sick thinking back to 1996, when you guys actually believed Maroon 5 was the beginning and end of music... complete idiots. 👍

brightridge59 said:Honestly, I’m calling them out for not playing what was listed—that setlist was Bad Meets Evil.
Anyway, for me, it was 🙏, even if you could tell they weren't feeling it at times. They're getting old, after all. 😬

The main thing is I finally got to see them, so mission accomplished. 😍

But starting off with Eye of the Tiger? That's a total 🙏🙏:
When Poison transitioned into Kraftwerk 😲, I almost had a heart attack. 😬

Even Phoenix didn't sound half bad live, but hearing Charly was just Bad Meets Evil. 😢
I was knee-deep in mud, lost my jacket 🤣, got wasted, but had a blast. 😍

edit: I "accidentally" grabbed a food voucher for chicken and rice, and of course, I still have it. :zubo :

Whatever, everyone wants the setlist to be exactly how they want it.

Personally, I thought they crushed it... started with Eye of the Tiger to warm up, some deeper cuts, then Breathe... then Phoenix hit so hard, the guitarist absolutely killed it. After that, it was Breathe and Firestarter, if I recall correctly, all with those light shows and transitions that make a concert actually feel like a show... they looked a bit tired toward the end, similar to when they were last here in NYC, but who cares, it's fine. Then they closed with Poison and Smack My Bitch Up... what more do you want?

Oh, and Liam was on point with all the changes and breaks.

I'm happy. Drove all the way from Chicago just for this and just got home... covered in mud, obviously.

brightridge59 said:I was knee-deep in mud, lost my jacket 🤣, drank way too much, but honestly? It was an absolute blast. 😍

I'm signing off on everything she said—word for word—with just one tiny correction: I didn't lose my jacket, it was actually some other piece of clothing. 😁

Honestly, I’m pissed—I can't shake the feeling that the whole thing was just half-baked.

First off, I’m pretty hammered, so I’ll keep this brief. But if it could have been better, it absolutely could have. That’s why The Black Eyed Peas were actually killing it.

Cheers, love you all.

Damn, what a show. Honestly, the only thing that sucked was how freaking muddy it got out there. They seriously should've laid down some carpets or something...

Since I was only there to see Serj Tankian, I thought he did a solid job.
I absolutely hate mud, rain, and gray skies... 😠
Because of that, I only ended up spending about two hours at the venue.
And honestly, Armen could have talked a little less.
Look, I feel for the Armenian people, but I don't sit around lecturing you about my experiences back in '92.🙄
I came to hear some music, not to listen to a lecture on your political views.

I have to agree, Peter really let me down by not playing Bad Meets Evil or Out of Space... and I definitely felt they leaned too heavily on just a few tracks. There were moments where they were absolutely phenomenal, but then two minutes later, I'd find myself wondering what on earth I was doing standing there in the mud.🤷
Aside from them, the only other act I saw was The Chemical Brothers, and they actually weren't bad at all... if anything, they were a pleasant surprise, whereas The Prodigy left me feeling a bit disappointed...

The event organization was top-notch.😂

A quick question for the New Yorkers...
Who sang the father part (the Blur section) on Creep?

Here's a solid question...

And right here you'll find the answer too—just scroll down a bit to the concert announcements 🤣

Arthur Barnes said:honestly, nobody has a freaking clue...
I couldn't care less about any of that...
mostly they were just lesbians...
those background black backing vocals...
I hate it when someone...
I hate it just as much as...
just drop it already...
your deep voice means nothing to me, so beat it...
screw them all...
I don't give a damn about Phoenix...
as long as the song doesn't piss me off...
it was just a whole lot of Muddy shit...
man, you guys really need to get a life...

🤷 🙂

and if you look right here you'll find the answer too, just scroll down a bit to the concert announcements section 🤣

LOL

Raymond Barrett12 said:Peter acts like he’s some kind of high-society guardian for these fringe, alternative reviews. 🙂

Heh, honestly, I’d need at least thirty separate reviews just to have enough opportunities to tell him exactly where to shove it. Not that I wouldn't take the chance if given it. 🙂
Anyway, I was busy performing surgery on my own wrist with a scalpel, a histology needle, and some aluminum foil from an Andes bar, all just so the rest of us could actually enjoy some decent music. God, I hate the flu.

Paul Ortiz76 said:So many people are coming for me...

At least you learned something. 😁 🤷

rain 😠

Elizabeth Mendoza43 Asks:
Since I was only interested in Serj, I'd say they did a solid job.
I hate mud, rain, and clouds—just give me some sun. 😠
So, I ended up spending maybe two hours there in total.
And Armenac could have probably kept his mouth shut a little more.
I feel for the victims of the Armenian genocide—really, I do—but I’m not about to sit here and compare our tragedies. It’s not a competition, and me telling you how we dealt with everything back in '92 isn't going to help either of us.🙄
I came here to hear you sing—not to listen to you lecture me on your political views.

And when exactly was he talking that much?🙄
