Bonnaroo YouTube

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

As many other festivals that can’t happen this year Boonnaroo is streaming old shows from the 24-26th of this month. They list the Beastie Boys in the from the archives so I’m assuming that’s a whole set, it’s also their last ever performance.

They said they’ll be dropping the schedule soon. I hope it’s easier to watch then the Fuji Rock Festival. Never found that one.

Speaking of them live. I wish they would put out a live album, like a proper live album. I’d take that over another hits record.

[Micodin]

they should drop a big box set that has live shows from every album/tours. go big.

[YoungRemy]

And they said Mario C mixed this set, does that mean specifically for the streaming event?

Knowing that and seeing the magic they used in order to edit previous live performances, Tv performances, AIFST, etc, I couldn’t agree with Micodin more right about now.

At least give us a Gala Event Tour snippet

[pip07]

didn't they have a proper camera crew for some gala event shows?

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

The Bonnaroo set is this Thursday at 10:30 pm

well, I'm already crying

[YoungRemy]

Friends ‘til the end...

[dust monkey]

this is a great show, my wife and i are enjoying every minute

[Documad]

this is a great show, my wife and i are enjoying every minute

it really is and even from my computer, with my headphones on I think it sounds pretty good. It's a lot compressed into a short show. <3

[Documad]

Also, I'm really loving Mike D's dancing/bouncing.

[YoungRemy]

They killed Pass the Mic and So Whatcha Want

[Documad]

MMM is just the best ever.

[Kid Presentable]

Because I’m in Straya, it’s work time (and I fucked up the time zones) so I could only catch the last five songs.

I’m so glad Sabotage was edited. And the audio fidelity is on par with the live stuff on the Root Down EP. So good.

Thinking of you all.

[Eoin MCL]

Got up at 4:30am my time to catch this. Really enjoyed it, and I have to agree that the mix was top notch! Props to Mario C!

I tried to record the whole stream but somehow only got the first 5 mins, a bit miffed but glad I stayed up to watch it all. Hopefully someone else capped it, or it will be available again. I'd pay to own this on iTunes if Mike can have a word with his Apple contacts! :D

[brooklyndust]

An amazing show and setlist. Right up there with Glasgow '99. I am sure I will be re-watching this one for years to come.

Pass the Mic stole the show. So tight, so good. They were having so much fun with it.

Played this through my stereo system and the sound and mixing on this was amazing. Mario C did a great job.

[Eoin MCL]

Oh and I also managed to get Sabotage on my phone, should have just recorded the whole thing on there rather than the desktop...

I'll share when I get the chance, but now it's 6am and time for bed.

Well said. It sounded fantastic! Great performance, I liked the edits to clean up some mistakes, Ill be watching and listening to this for years to come, just like Glasgow 99.

anyone got a rip to share?

You could just watch that link, here is my attempt at a mp3 capture if you cant wait for a better quality version https://filebin.net/6rir1cafgtqg59py

[Friis gal]

I am so happy I got up at 5:30 to see this, and I really enjoyed it all the way through.

Sabrosa and Ricky's Theme stood out to me in a way I have not seen it live before.

And the encore was just as it should be. "This is our last song, it is called Sabotage" got me a bit too much.

[Kid Presentable]

Fark thank you. Just watched it all.

Consider that the apex of TMR. No Nas studio vox in the mix, Mario C treatment. Sounded rugged as shit.

[Documad]

3 MCs and 1 DJ was a real highlight too. That’s one where the live show makes the lines funnier for me.

[Jiberish]

Amazing show. Glad I remembered to look for it. I think I missed the first few songs. PASS THE MIC was the showstopper for me as well.

Am I the only one, or is anybody else kind of annoyed they fixed Sabotage? I always appreciated that even they could fuck up. I think its really humanizing. But whatever. And it was still a high energy performance. But whatever, I suppose it was nice to hear it the way it's supposed to be.

The only other big edit I noticed was taking out Nas's pre-recorded voice from the monitors. Sounded WAAAAAAY better like this.

Mario did a bang up job.

[fonky pizza]

I stayed up all night to watch it!

NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN!!!

:):o:D(y)

[balohna]

Man, I’d been recently watching some 2007ish live footage, and something that stands out for this whole era (last few years of the band) is how fucking PUMPED Mike D gets on stage. I think maybe bringing hardcore songs back into their shows did it? He isn’t my favourite MC in the group but his energy at these shows is undeniable.

[timmie]

Nice to hear some of the reports, i shall be watching tonight :)

Did they ever take the Hardcore shows out of the show?

I agree he has crazy energy, and its infectious.

Ad-Rock and MCA have two of the most classic and recognizable MC voices of the genre. That said, Mike IS my fave MC of the band. He does the craziest stuff with his voice, has really funny/weird lines and is the most improved MC-player all around across their career.

He's super underused on the first album, but I think everytime they do use him it's incredibly effective.

For the most part I like the three of the evenly, but Mike just barely eeks by to be my number one in the band.

[brooklyndust]

Although I love the set-list I just realized not one cut from TT5B or the Mix Up.

I think Ch-Check it out or Triple Trouble or a quick album cut like That's it That's all could have squeezed in and maybe a hazy performance of Off The Grid would have been nice too. They were also lacking from PB.
Hard to fit it all in though.

All 3 of them always balance out perfectly on the stage. I love when they improvise on their delivery and get goofy or silly. I have found that Mike D has consistently had crazy energy throughout the years. Always love when Ad-Rock loses it with some of the screams or freak outs on the delivery of his lines. MCA is the chill glue balancing it all out. The contrast of their styles is woven perfectly. So entertaining to watch.

[pesto pizza]

That was a very good show
No sleep til brooklyn
Too many rappers
Saborosa
Rickys theme
Were the highlights for me

[dave790]

I have tomorrow night pencilled in to watch this with a few cold ones, as long as it’s still available!

Great to read the reports. As if there was ever any doubt Mario C would deliver. Am I right in thinking this is first work with the B-Boys in any capacity since 1998?

Also loving the Mike D appreciation. Sandwiched between Yauch (most technically gifted of the 3 and arguably one of the best voices in hip hop) and Horovitz (instantly recognisable, high energy on the mic) he has always been slightly undervalued. But as time has gone he’s probably become my favourite Beastie - his rhymes grew stronger with every record, his delivery is always inch perfect and in interview he is capable of being both goofy and insightful in the same sentence. I also think he was the best thing about the book (unpopular opinion I know). Only downside is he was slightly cold when I met him, but I’ll forgive that given he must have been signing the 2000th book that day and listening to the 2000th person explain how he’s helped change their life etc. Respect to the Jewish Brad!

Agreed! I felt he had some many great moments on Hot Sauce Committee. Especially Long Burn the Fire. The whole song is just building up for him to take it down.

[balohna]

TT5B tour, and of course before that they had a long hiatus where the rare few shows they did were pure hip-hop (there might have been exceptions, not sure). So between the end of the Hello Nasty tour and The Mix Up they weren't really doing songs like Time for Livin' or Heart Attack Man.

Of course Mike has always been great live, but in this set and other ones I've watched from the mid-late 2000s he's even stood out from MCA and Ad-Rock (who are both still great, of course). Just going nuts, getting the crowd hyped between songs, taking a break from vocals to play percussion on the same song. He seems more confident and energetic than ever.

And yeah it is pretty weird that there's no TT5B or Mix Up stuff at all in this set. I wonder if it had something to do with the remasters coming out in 2009.

[Extra Cheese]

This was great.

A little shocking to see them open and rip through time for living and super disco breaking to a rather subdued crowd, boisterous but not rowdy just how I like it

I believe you!

I saw them on the TT5B tour, and sadly that was the last time I saw them :( I chose to not go to the TMU tour because I erroneously believed I would have many more bboy tours to catch them on. I could only afford one show that summer, and my buddies convinced me to see Kanye. It was the WORST concert I have ever been to. Though Lupe and Common were tight. I'm actually just starting to dip back into Kanye, all these years later to see what he's been up to.

anyways, tangent aside. If you told me they played hardcore at TT5B I would believe you as well. My memory is shit for little things like that.

[Jiberish]

Yes! Mike D consistently improves his game on each album. You can tell he puts the work in. on the off season.

I really love his performance on SAY IT as well. That has become my favorite deep cut by the band, and I think he is the glue on that track.

[dave790]

^^^ re: Mike D, I always thought he completely bossed Too Many Rappers as well. But Long Burn The Fire is his moment, absolute fire.

Absolutely loved the Bonnaroo show incidentally. As much as I dig the AIFST concept and execution, I’d rather have a hard copy of this sort of show filmed normally etc any day. Even the sound is preferable for me. My dream is for some sort of multi-disc live release covering all eras.

While it’s a shame they didn’t throw in any Mix Up or 5 Boroughs material, they did at the other shows around this time. I think the Baltimore show for instance is a latter day holy grail of sorts if any recording exists - 30 song set list, intimate setting, and as Bonnaroo demonstrates: the Beastie Boys performing arguably better than ever.

All of this is very bittersweet obviously. First and foremost the world was obviously robbed of a great man (and specifically husband, father, son etc). But from a more selfish point of view, we lost a great late golden era for the group we love.

Agreed. Instead of releasing another greatest hits album, I would rather own a mastered hard copy of this show. An official live album with great sound quality. It would be great if they had some kind of DVD package with this show and Beastie Boys story. Maybe add extra scenes that didn't make the documentary.

It might be hard to release an official live album with all the samples Mix Master Mike uses during the shows.

I also noticed that the new greatest hits album is not being released by Capitol records. It's being released by a different record company.

[paulb]

Well Bonnaroo made the video private, so I tried mine again, I guess it will work until its pulled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Elxp4u6YMkY

[Kid Presentable]

Well, it’s gone. Watched it at least 20 times.

[Documad]

It really was wonderful. Watched it several more times once i figured out how to watch YouTube on my tv. It’s affirming to know that they were as good as I remember.

I think I may have had this same sentiment for the first time ever once I watched Pass the Mic at Bonnaroo. that's the song in AIFST that they take a piss in the urinal and the audio cuts out from the song on stage.

this last weekend was such a great way to connect with fans and friends and with Beastie Boys and their music again. I was blasting Hot Sauce 2 for the first time in a long time and just loved going back in time as bittersweet as this has all been.

it's all been so cathartic, leading from the book, to the shows, to the movie, to this wonderfully presented and brilliantly performed final gig.

whatever comes next I'm looking forward to looking backwards.

I have it in 1080p, but it's over 2GB so not that easy to share.

Curious... what's the "Sabotage" edit during the 2009 Bonnaroo show I keep reading about?

[Jiberish]

Curious... what's the "Sabotage" edit during the 2009 Bonnaroo show I keep reading about?

I haven't watched the original version in about a decade, but during Yauch's bass solo, he messes up, and then Mike can't figure out when to come back in with the drums and the whole band grinds to a halt.

They pick it back up, and I think Ad-rock might mess up the vox, so they start it again.

It's a pretty glorious mess! And you can almost not tell by the way it's edited. They did a pretty good job cleaning it up, but you can till see Mke & Yauch looking at eachother like "eeeeeshhh"

and AdRock talks some smack about how "there are no backing loops up here. no iPods. just live musicians."

[bigdan2276]

Explaination is much appreciated! Thank you

[Jiberish]

Explaination is much appreciated! Thank you

No problemo! It's worth looking up though.

[peterclamp]

I loved every moment of this concert. Sound quality was awesome too, luckily I managed to grab a copy which I've watched again and again!

I hope they eventually release this on Blu Ray, maybe as a double disc along with Beastie Boys Story, I'd happily pay good money for it!

[3MTA3]

I have a good quality mp4 rip of the video and a 320kbps mp3 if anyone wants/needs? And I was trying to chop up the full length mp3 into individual tracks, but the program I was using sucks. Anyone either willing to cut it up with whatever better software you have or can you recommend a good working free program I can use?

[Kid Presentable]

I really hope against hope that this gets a vinyl release.

Is there even a remote chance the artists sampled could get on board if, say, all proceeds went to charity?

Bah.

Do they need clearance when it’s live? I always live recordings had different rules

[Micodin]

Do they need clearance when it’s live? I always live recordings had different rules

if they are selling the live recording, yeah they have to clear the samples.

[Uru-Nitro]

I'm not DJ expert, but they probably need permission just to play de samples in the live shows. I don't know the agreements MMM or BB have to make to play another people's beats in live shows, but I guess that same agreement settles what you can and can't do, like recording and later distribute the concert.

I mean, they sold AIFST, why not another shows?

They made some changes to AIFST. Hendrix samples, Pass that Dutch, the Apache break (or whatever it is on Root Down).

The long bow I’m drawing for this show is a deal along the lines of ‘hey, this band is no longer a going concern, cut us some slack’ but I realise it doesn’t work like that.

they DON'T have to pay if they are using someone's beat or sample at a live show. it's the same loophole that DJ's have when DJ'ing other artists music at live events. rappers have been rapping over other artists beats at live shows since the dawn of hip-hop.

they DO have to pay if they are selling that live recording that contains other artists beats or samples.

That's the right answer. There are royalties for playing other people's music in public but they are very small and typically paid by the venue.

[balohna]

I watched AIFST recently and they definitely listed all the samples used for the live versions during the credits.

Thanks for posting - I'd never seen that.

I saw them just after The Mix Up came out and MCA biffed the opening of Triple Trouble twice, but the second time they just rolled with it. Makes the set just that more memorable.

Watching live hip-hop, especially Beastie Boys, gave me so much more respect for tour DJs. Maybe it's easier nowadays, but when rappers would blow their lines, come in late, come in early, etc., the DJ had to figure out how to draw a break out/cut it short, maybe had to scratch on one side while rewinding on the other, etc.

[Jiberish]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH7b3LHdV-A

Mannnnnn, it's not as disastrous as I recalled. And it makes me appreciate what Mario C did to weave it back together. All that said, I would still have prefered them leave it alone, but w/ a better mix. Oh well.
