1994 Live Beats: ‘GABBA’ turned 30

As you know, in our articles we review not only official releases and milestones but also many other, much less obvious dates for music lovers and fans of The Prodigy. Today’s article is from this series! In 2023, we did a big article about the 1993 concert tour, in which we recalled and analyzed many unreleased tracks from that period that were regularly played live. This year, to mark the anniversary of the ‘Music For The Jilted Generation’ album, we’ve decided to do another round-up of similar live rarities from 1994 that preceded the release of the album, as well as those that appeared on the tour after the record’s release.

Despite the fact that most of these tracks were never released, many of them became real hits among the band’s fans, on par with the best studio recordings. Since there were many more of these unreleased bangers in 1994 compared to 1993, we’ve decided to divide this topic into a series of several articles. We’ll start with perhaps one of the loudest live hits of the band – the legendary track Gabba.
