[Extra Cheese]

i hope they practiced. i'm not gonna tolerate that "hol,hol,hol,hold up. run that beat back. i messed up" crap this time around.

[pshabi]

AGREED, but if you're not overseas they'll be plenty polished by the time we get 'em.

The Concert began with "Root Down" then "Time to get Ill","Flute Loop","Three MC´s","Watcha want","Body Movin","Sure Shot", then they performed a new song ( Not ch-check it out ) which i didn´t understand, because it was so noisy in the room, it was impossible to understand what they were sayin... The last songs: Ch-check it out, Intergalatic. The Concert was about 40 minutes long. They didn´t had any costumes. They were styled very oldschool: Mike D with a "Dickies O´Dog pant" a skaterbelt, a tight Basecap and a grey shirt. Ad´Rock worn a shirt with "Krunk, moi?" printed on and a normal cotton-pant. MCA was dressed normal...

Mix Master did the cuts and beats ( nobody burns Mix Master...you will see :rolleyes: ).

The concert was great. Everybody was jumping, stagedivin...singing,screaming...

There were only 400 people in this club...that was a great atmosphere...u can´t imagine...

I hope that was enough info for today

P.S.: They said: " If you have any friends in America, please tell them: DON´T VOTE BUSH!!!"

MCA added: "...fuck Bush!"

That was a quotation...

[paulb]

thanks u! that clears up alot!! sounds like an amazing time.. how much did this 40min show cost u? what a blast!! good short setlist too! i wonder what the new song sounded like... was Ch- Check it out cool live?

[b-grrrlie]

Thanks chaozkid!


Loads of good old favourites, plenty of new stuff....
Now I really really really wanna win! I just won some cinema tickets the other day, is my quota up now? :(

And what is normal wear for MCA? Still doing that "pensioner" stylee?

[Laver1969]

Good info!!! Thanks.

[brooklyndust]

stage diving?

i wonder if the other new song was thats it thats all

[redeamer]

Probably it was That's It That's All, they have done that track a few times before. Phat beats on that one though!

Question for the people that were there, was promotional stuff handed out? Like the "the hiatus is back off again" promo t-shirt that was added on the Beastiemania site?

Riemer

[countrymikedj]

that's awesome! you are a lucky one

[paece!-man]

I've been to the concert, too. It was just intergalactic. To quote a new song:"Beats to drop you insane" 40 min for 17.50 Euro (20 $) and Mix Master Mike. The given songlist is mostly complete, but they played two new songs. They sounded great. The first had some guitar samples and the second one a booming bassline. What a week. First I noticed that there's a new single coming, then an new album. Now this gig, wow. But the best thing is just going to happen. Today a friend of mine is going to listen to "To the 5 Boroughs" and then interview the Beasties I'm looking forward to get a copy of the interview and want to write it down and send it to the message board. Tomorrow I'm sending the impression my friend got of the new album.

[Union Jack]

i've been there, too, although quite short, twas great.
one of the new songs has as main sample the one from
sugarhill gang's rappers delight and, even if it might be embarassing to know that, in the middle the intro to jennifer lopez' jenny from the block.(children grow and women producing men go working some go stealing everyone's got to make a living or something like that) at least in the live version yesterday.

thats just MMM doing that.. i doubt they'd use that in the proper songs.

[fonky pizza]

probably The Brouhaha..

that jenny from the block beet is actualy from boogie down productions song south bronx she just sampled it! YOU LUCKY MOTHAFUCKERS!! :eek:

[brooklyndust]

the guitar samples was probaly from that song that samples sonic reducer

the beasties were alowing stage diving though?

[°_mullethead_°]

Were there any cameras in the venue - official ones (mtv for example) or someone bootleggin??

i would have hoped that they performed more new songs, but still sounds like a great night

[paece!-man]

This "Jenny from the block"-sample was not the only shock. MMM also cutted Sean Paul two times in the songs. Stagediving was not allowed, there were 1,5 metre and some bodyguards between the stage and the crowd. The best thing on the concert was that after performing "Ch-check it out" they left the stage (it's normal for concerts) and after three minutes returned with "Intergalactic". This song made the whole crowd insane.

i got some photos, and i am going to post some tomorrow. (is the bfreephotos still working?) i just need some server space. tell me if you know a place where i can post...
the quality is pretty crappy, but whatever. someone might wanna see them. the show was great, but really too short. i think it was like this, cause the beasties had just arrived by plane and still had some jetlag going on. the new songs were just really cool and i don't think mixmaster mike put on some shitty records, cause even if he were scratching on some bullshit record, he would make it sound like a classic.

i would really like to go to amsterdam, but fuck i dont have a lot of money right now, i just can say the beasties gotta play some festivals here in germany. i want to see them in full effect and hear like the full new album. it was good to hear the classics from check your head, though, which i really like a lot. sabotage would have been cool too :eek:

i hope mmm is not going to remix the t5b trax done at the shows until we get used to the original beats.......

[Laver1969]

On the HN tour I don't think he remixed the HN songs because they were new. Except for very minor parts like the mmmmm drop break in Intergalactic and the ending of Body Moving and such.

[Late-Night Lion]

The new song that samples Sugerhill Gang is Triple Trouble. That's what a local DJ said who heard some of the new album. Sounds nice

[Ich_bin_der_Tod]

shit i miss that gig .... I´ve only see them in Stuttgart on the Hallo Nasty tour , did they come on a Festival in Europe this year ? or make a tour trough Europe ?? where can I look for these Infos ???

[ElectricWarrior]

A 40 minutes show??!!

HAHAHAHAHA!

[Justin]

kinda sounds like the atmosphere during the "shadrach" live video version on the dvd.

[Laver1969]

David - I'm just guessing cause i wasn't there...but Dan may be including MMM's intro as part of the official set???? just an idea.

[cj hood]

[DforDustin]

what have they been doing (in europe) with all their down time this week?

Same thing I did!
I JUST got back Thursday morning from London & Amsterdam. It sucks that I missed the Beasties by a few days. I was super pissed that I didn't know about the secret gigs before I left or I would have made plans to stay a little longer.

Amsterdam has some damn good record stores (among other attractions), London has plenty of great pubs,clubs, & record stores.

There is too much to see & do in those cities. I wish I could go back tomorrow.

[paece!-man]

what have they been doing (in europe) with all their down time this week?
They gave a lot of interviews and I'm looking forward to get one Berlin interview on saturday. Gonna post the content.
