My country is Serbia (part of ex Yugoslavia) and Prodigy was the first foreign band which played concert in my country after war ended. They came literally 3 weaks after ending of war in prime of their popularity. The concert was amazing and members behaved like we are "normal" country without fear or prejudices. I just can't describe how enormously my people are thankful to Prodigy for that greatness. After 4 years of suffering and horribleness, that concert was the most beautiful thing that happened to Serbian people. It was so huge that even we younger generations who even wasn't born at that time, know about it.
