Just got back from MSG Show

[Clarence89]

SHIT WAS RIDICULOUS. They threw hello brookyln in, I went CRAZY. Intergalactic in the stands was sick man, and what a way to end it with sabatoge. SIck mosh going at the end. Shake Ya rump was sick tooooo dam, i lost my voice from bustin out screams. Dougie fresh jumped on stage and beatboxed to time to get ill Dam i was hyped. Well its over back to life.

[bigblu89]

Dude I agree. The intergalatic encore was right behind my section. I was in sect. 226. This girl ran up to Mike D and starting crying like you see they little chinese girls do at the Michael Jackson concerts. It was crazy.

[YoungRemy]

they messed up a few lyrics, in Open Letter and in Brass Monkey, but their banter in between takes made up for it

[rniebling]

I was lucky enough to help shoot that shit - I'm still numb. One of the best concerts/days of my life. Alright I sound way gay - respec
show was tight - the DVD will tell all...

[AdRoxGirlie]

Just in awe...had great seats but wish I was up higer so I could have touched one of em during the encore...god I feel like one of those freakin out Beatles fans in the 60's- I never expected it to be this Amazing, the energy of the crowd was great!

[AdRoxGirlie]

[pm0ney]

I was in section 333 so I was pretty close to them when they did the encore. All I can say is that the performance was fucking incredible. Incredible. Jesus christ was that fucking off the chain. Words cant describe how fuckin awesome that concert was. I'm still in shock. They did EVERYTHING! Even 5 tracks from LTI!

[pm0ney]

Which ones?

In no particular order:

Posse In Effect
Paul Revere
Time To Get Ill
Brass Monkey

Ah, just four. My bad.

[YoungRemy]

time to get ill, brass monkey and maybe one or two more.


shake your rump was incredible, with the beat of Intergalactic.


everything from "to the 5" i remember: rightright nownow, open letter, ch-check it out, all lifestyles

they played somethings got to give, they dedicated Sabotage to George W.


CANT WAIT FOR THE DVD!

[YoungRemy]

No kidding. I guess that news came out today in the 'become an MSG cameraperson' thread. BTW, did any of you do that? Work the cameras?

yeah, we are getting paid and if our footage is used we get credit in the DVD. i tried to nail some tight zoom shots of The Three, and i got some cool images of MMM,the Garden, the crowd, the retired Knicks jerseys...

[YoungRemy]

oh and they gave us free t-shirts

a basketball with the number 3, with the words

Beastie Boys*NYC BROUHAHA DIVISION*

[Bigg Russ]

Just got in. Did a little hangin' afterwards... :)

Anyway, the show was phat and having the ability to record it was a great experience! Big up to all you cats I met/saw/worked with! It was a blast!

[Beastie Fan86]

It could not have been any better. Espically at the Garden in front of thousands of people. The had a great set and an amazing encore(Interglactic and Sabatoge). The appearance of Duggie Fresh and the lil film shots made a very memorable night. It will be one of my favorite memories.

[jennyb]

I am GREEN with envy! Cannot wait to see the DVD guys! Sounds like everyone had a spectacular time! By the way... any pageantry?

[balohna]

Set list?

but as for the show itself it was great.

Really? I didn't realized Duggie Howser was there. I thought it was Doug E. Fresh... Interesting.

[SushiSonic67]

Also saw the MSG show....amazing! Mad crazy! Saw them three times with Hurricane way long time ago, and MMM is beyond. Now I'm craving all things Beastie.

(PS this is my first post...just joined today! what the hell was i waiting for.)

[bc42]

INCREDIBLE SHOW! Doug E. Fresh was a highlight and so was Sabotage, but ending at 10:30 was a little disappointing. I was hoping for at least 2 hours of music.

I didn't get a t-shirt. By the time I got backstage they were gone. I got the sticker from the package though. :)

I agree, I had a great time. Being able to record the show was really cool. Meeting everyone was also really cool. It's a nice way to get to know fellow Beastie fans. :) All very nice people, can't say that enough.

[BrassMonkeyNYC]

Just crawling in from last night.... The energy of the show was amazing, I had excellent seats, in the MCA section for TTGI, they got everyone so hyped I was literally jumping up in down in my high heels. The show seemed to last like 10 mins and it was like 90 mins. Too short for my liking but it was the Beastie Boys and I felt like i was 16 again. Its amazing where music can take us, especially the Beasties, from someone who has seen them since the License to Ill tour, i couldnt believe that the energy is still there (well before they could pull off 2-3 hour shows) but their souls are still in it, there will never be another Beastie Boys just like there will never be another Pac. The stage set up for the band was awesome and they looked so cute in their suits. While I would have loved to see Get it Together, No Sleep til Brooklyn and the everyone missed Fight for your Right the amazing set list didnt let me miss them until we were listening to Sounds of Science on the way out. Sabotage was amazing, dedicated to George W......nice Word around the campfire was that they were suppose to come back out but everyone left so fast, which was true, I totally felt that everyone was just hauling ass out, i mean come on beastie boys........stay until at least eleven, but my 11:30 the boys were already on their way out to the Tribeca grand for an afterparty. I loved this show, I needed to shake my ass for 90 mins and just be in awe in probably what is one of the best bands of all times. :) :) :)

[Clarence89]

When they let the crowd do paul revere, my cousin and I were buggin out screaming the lyrics good shit.

hey i seem to have missed this whole dvd thing, any info much appreciated (y)

[MCA lOvEr]

i went to the msg show... it was awwwwwwwwwwwwsome!! (y) :D

[SushiSonic67]

I agree: Loved Doug E Fresh beatboxing, and it did end too early. Maybe it's because they are like almost forty. They can't rock it for hours like they used to, maybe? I could be wrong, but I'm almost forty and I couldn't give all that energy for hours like that either.

[GrooveholmeS]

First I want to say, I have been a B-Boys fan for like 8 years and last night was the first time i seen them. All I got to say is THAT CONCERT WAS THE BEST FUCKING SHIT I EVER DID. I was sitting behind the GA area where the folding chairs were! When hello Brooklyn came on I fucking went nuts. In fact I was going nuts with every song. The sabatoge at the end!! That shit was sick!! I was dancing around like a drunk slob but I never had so much fun.

[danielladrock24]

omg i knoww it was absolutely incredible.. it was my first beastie boys show and ill never forget it

[Bourgie]

I am GREEN with envy! Cannot wait to see the DVD guys! Sounds like everyone had a spectacular time! By the way... any pageantry?

Me and posse (really just two other people..) were dressed as pimps w/ fedora hats maybe you saw us! I didn't see many other people "dressed to impress" only like some guys down in the pit w/ orange jumpsuits, but then again that's not really dressed up. It was a no sneaker jam and like everyone was wearing sneakers. (y)

[pea]

By the time 10:30 rolled around I'd pretty much lost my hearing, and my voice. It was a great night. The set list was awesome, and there was so much energy! Just seeing a sold out crowd there standing and screaming every word to every song was something I'll never forget. One of the best nights ever. Oh, and MMM... amazing.

Wow and I didn't realize that they're making a DVD of the show!!!! Thats such great news!

[SpanishFly]

That show freakin' ROCKED! We missed the first half hour because our friend in Maryland who saw them on Friday told us they didn't go on until 10 down there and we were stupid enough to listen to him.

Regardless, we had an AWESOME time. We had floor seats and the view was great....and they played everything I wanted to hear.

Plus...I had never actually seen them play instruments before live and I thought that kicked so much ass. :)

We were standing next to a bunch of guys that had one of the cameras. I had no idea about a DVD either until I asked them what they were doing. (y)

[pfr booty]

WOW...This show was just crazy!! I mean the energy was just unmeasureable... Chris Rock, Flava Flav, Doug E fresh, DMC...I can hardly speak now from all the screaming i did. If you haven't caught this tour...DO NOT MISS IT...it is worth every penny and then some. I was one of the fortunate few who got to record for the dvd. I don't know how good of a job i did considering i was jumping and screaming most of the time. The free t shirt was NICE... THANK YOU TO THE BOYS FOR A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

PEACE

[NikolaiForero]

last night was my first bb concert after waiting a lot of years...IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but the time passed really fast to me!! i was in section 41 and I think I had a great view, anyway the show was great!!!


somethings gotta give, great!!!! :D

sabrosa was so cool


sabotage no words!!!

hahaa brass monkey! that was so cool and funny!!!

The stage, lights, everything was great. But, anyway, i think mike D needs new drumming lessons! haha, he lost one drumstick finishing rickys theme I thnik.

Any way, no kidding, the best Ive ever been. GREAT, OHHHHHHHH excelent!!
fuck mixmaster mike its such a great dj!! :eek:

ps: Yeah, I saw this guys wearing the orange jump sutes, a guy dressed liek sabotage and this girl I think like...a painter? or something like.



great night!!

[SpuffyRJ]

I totally agree with everybody =D

Yesterday was my first real concert EVER and I'm so glad it was the Beastie Boys.

The vibe and energy in the garden was SPECTACULAR. everybody was on their feet and dancing the whole time and singing along! I loved it and they played all my favorite songs =D.

Yeah that was cool with Doug E. Fresh.. and DMC was in the audience?!

I don't know what i can add that others didn't say already.. the show was unbelievable!

on a side note.. the dog show was kinda cute.. and Twali( i'm not sure that's how you spell it) was cool 2.

I'm so happy and I cant wait till the DVD =D

[tienmao]

i put up some pictures and some out of focus shots of intergalactic from last night on my site here (http://www.tienmao.com/archives/001338.html).

[GrooveholmeS]

Also one more thing. When they played pass the mic I was in heaven man!! IT WAS SOO COOL I LOVE THAT SONG!!!

[NYC5thBorough]

I was dressed as Allejandro Allegre from the sabotage video..I was in section 11 anybody see me

[BrooklynDown]

I think I did. I was in row J. Were you in H, sitting all the way to the left of the section in seat 1?

[KickTheBucket]

I gotta agree, that was such a fucking awesome concert. I'm not sure were exactly I was sitting (too lazy to go and get ticket out of my room.) but I had a good view. I was sitting diagonal to the stage, in Yauch's section for Time to get ill.
They had a really awesome choice of songs, but I wasn't a big fan of the opening act. Or the fact that people kept smoking weed in the row behind me and infront of me. Shit smelled horrible.
Anybody else see the drunk guy in the Born 4 Porn t-shirt. Amusing :}.

[SpuffyRJ]

i was in Mike D's section for Time to get ill. lol. erm yeah .. the pot smoking smelled horrible.. they should check for that.

[YoungRemy]

dont mean to diss, but you should get used to peeps smoking pot at concert events.



shit smelled dank in section 11.......

[KickTheBucket]

Yeah, I know there's pot wherever you go. Fuck, the janitors at my school smoke it in their little gathering spot.
They searched my bag, I would think they would at least look for pot or something. You can't smoke cigarettes in the Garden let alone joints.

[monkey]

dont mean to diss, but you should get used to peeps smoking pot at concert events.



shit smelled dank in section 11.......

you were the camera guy in section 11??????????

if that was you... omg... i was so behind you

everything was awesome, amazing, exciting and excellent. except for the lame ass guys around me and my friend who were more into high fiving us than the music. and you know i was ALL about the beasties.

i was in row C, on the right side near the section of elevated seats.
frequently, i would do a 360 degree pan of MSG.


i have been thinking about this show all day, i am spent, it was an absolutely amazing experience.


one of my favorite moments was when Adam H. took a minute to reflect...


"We're in the Garden, we're in the fucking GARDEN, ya'll"

[Laver1969]

i put up some pictures and some out of focus shots of intergalactic from last night on my site here (http://www.tienmao.com/archives/001338.html).

Nice pics!!! I have to get a better connection to check the video clips you have. Great job!!!

ha! that was you! i was so gonna ask. i was behind a few rows, to the left.

that was a cool moment. there are so many. they've come to me during the day, i share with whoever's around, and then i think about another part that just... omg.

i still dont have my voice back completely.

[sarahvb]

One of my favorite moments was when the house lights came up and we were all filing out slowly, two young (well, younger than I am) people behind me were talking about Doug E. Fresh guesting as the beatbox on "Time to Get Ill":

Guy: I can't believe they had Doug E. Fresh!
Girl: (tentatively) Yeah, I'm not really sure who he is. I wouldn't know about any of these guys if it weren't for you.
Guy: (reverently) Doug E. Fresh is from so far back in rap that these guys didn't even use swear words.

That made me smile. And feel old...although not as old as I felt this morning after dancing on top of my chair and screaming most of the evening! Like I had been hit by three trucks. The Beastie Boys are only a couple of years older than I am -- so I have an incredible amount of respect that they are able to put this much energy out at every show when just one night of it was enough to wipe me out! What an amazing night.

Ahh man the only thing that ruined it for me was the smoking. It smelled so bad. I hate smoking and stay away from it at all costs...weed, cigs, whatever, and I could barely inhale by the end of the night and I was so sick the rest of the time.

[Documad]

Okay, I was in Adrock's section and I haven't smelled that much weed since jr. high (or maybe at my last Beck concert!), so apparently it was everywhere. It didn't bother me but it did make me feel old.

[KickTheBucket]

Not just the weed, but there were at least 50 drunks all around me. Selling champagne for $10 for that tiny glass? Shit. And then afterwards, I was walking down in the really small, windy stairs and I heard this chick fall (sounded like high heels?) and went tumbling down the stairs. Ow.
And I'm glad I wasn't below the upper section, after Sabotage they threw their beer cups down and hit about 10 people in front of me

[1 2 Oh My God]

The people next to me were smokin' weed. I was really wishing they'd offer it to me, but no luck.

[Bourgie]

lol...these guys in front of us were smoking weed the entire time and like midshow they turned around and asked us if we had any rolling paper..lol!..I was like " Oh..no"...I think they were definitely trying to get us high , because they were blowing that smoke straight back to us...and I think their plan did work a bit...

[Bourgie]

Also one more thing. When they played pass the mic I was in heaven man!! IT WAS SOO COOL I LOVE THAT SONG!!!

awwww maan...! gotta agree...that's my favorite bb song right there......

[Extra Cheese]

the crowd got most live for brass monkey. it came on and everyone went nuts i saw everyone in the pit jumping. i was surprised that it got live for "right right, now now" but brass monkey definitely set it off for the crowd even with them making a mistake and starting over

[chechina]

I've never seen so many happy, drunk, and/or stoned people in one place. What a great show. I was on my feet and dancing throughout (and that's after two days of walking around NYC sight-seeing). My best friend is not even a Beastie fan and as we were crossing 7th Avenue she almost got hit by a cab, she couldn't get over the concert: "That was so fuckin' great! Ohmigod!"

I, for one, dressed up a bit for the occasion, I just need it to be said. And speaking of clothes, I want Yauch's Mah-Jong shirt; I too love a good game of Mah-Jong.

[SpuffyRJ]

the crowd got most live for brass monkey.

yeah I agree. LOL I love that song. I didn't know that Brass Monkey was a drink till only recently tho. but in my mind the song is really about a monkey. :rolleyes:

[Bourgie]

Yah..Brass Monkey was one of the best performed songs that day in my opinion. (y) (y)

[powow]

MMM was completely out of control!!! I thought he was gonna snap some vinyl in half!!! LOL.

[1 2 Oh My God]

Not just the weed, but there were at least 50 drunks all around me. Selling champagne for $10 for that tiny glass? Shit. And then afterwards, I was walking down in the really small, windy stairs and I heard this chick fall (sounded like high heels?) and went tumbling down the stairs. Ow.
And I'm glad I wasn't below the upper section, after Sabotage they threw their beer cups down and hit about 10 people in front of me

When I was leaving the show, walking down the escalators, there was a whole domino effect... like 3, 4 people fell and crashed into me, but I quickly latched on to the side of the escalator, so I wouldn't fall. They barrelled into the people next to me and almost everyone in front of me and took them down with them. They all went down like pins in a bowling alley. There was a whole tangle of people at the bottom of the staircase. Somehow, this escalated into a fight between 2 of the guys in the pile, and they spent 5 minutes pummeling each other in the head, holding up the line.

[Candice]

What a ballll Sat. nite. (y) I had never been to see the boys, or to NYC can I just say....OH MY F*CKIN' .... WORD !!! rOCK ON!

[Fiorucci99]

I was dressed as Allejandro Allegre from the sabotage video..I was in section 11 anybody see me


Yea Bro I totally did see you. I was in Section 12 like two rows behind you! Me and my friend kept saying how you looked fucking awesome!

[Candice]

:p Brass Monkey was f*ckin' UNF*CKIN" Believable, as was the whole show.
We were in sec. 266 we also "dressed to impress" with puple dico pants, boa, and purple painted highheel Skechers! SHAZAM!!! :D

[Boozer]

Stop whining about the dam weed smokin, i was tryin to score for the concert but i cudn't, fortunately some kind soul passed me and my girlfriend a packed pipe that got us nice and toasty :o i was in section 132 row E, whoever u were that passed the pipe thanx for spreadin the luvvvvv (y)

[melissajaneane]

oh and they gave us free t-shirts

a basketball with the number 3, with the words

Beastie Boys*NYC BROUHAHA DIVISION*


Oh man!!! Now I'm really jealous! I was in section 311 with some big headed dude right in front of me. :(

Oh well...the concert still kicked ass!!!!

[hpdrifter]

I agree, the show was dope! It was awesome that they played different songs than at the Seattle show. I was so pleased to hear Pass the Mic. My seats were great. Section 7 and I got to lean on the barricade where the guard really looked out for me. There were some dudes that insisted I film them, even though they didn't know the words to many of the songs. So irritating.

I am still flying when I think about it.

[paulb]

im glad u had fun Christina, u lucky bum!

[princesschef]

we had a few problems w/ getting our right seat...
hats off to the worker that night, yea right!!!

we had a great time, the boyzs put on a great show...
sent my nephew to philly show, he said the show was good as well as the crowd.....



i wish the boys would play M.S.G. again when they return to the states..
i bet the would sell the place out again......

exactly. i was on the floor blowing bones and lots of poeple were coming up to me and partaking...more than happy to get evryone lifted in the section...and thanks to the guys who bought me brews for sharing....that was the essence of the MSG crowd that night, and i think the boys were feeling it.

[SpuffyRJ]

i wish the boys would play M.S.G. again when they return to the states..

I agree

[minor_threat]

this was my first concert ever and words can not describe how fuckin awesome it was! setlist was great, energy was great, opener DAMN! everything rocked! especially sabotage! this is gonna be a hard concert to top :)

like i said it was first show ever so i was nervous about smoke green/cigs. i ended up smoking weed in the bathroom stall (only cause i was siting with my dad :() and i must of heard people commenting on the smell a million times. by the time i was done with my joint i was like fuck it, nobodys gonna car if i smoke a cigarette in the bathroom. some people made comments but for the must part everybody was cool. oh well at least next time i go to a concert i'll know that smokings okay (even if there are no smoking signs...lol)
