Worth it to head to Uniondale, NY? [Archive]

Anyways I'm from Boston and last night I headed onto the Worcester show to see them live, pumped as hell to see them, I watched and was amazed but one factor kept me from really enjoying myself, It was the crowd. No energy and no respect. So me and a few friends are contemplating the road trip to Uniondale to see them again. A good idea? Some feedback please.

Well, I'm from Vancouver and I saw them in Seattle and Vancouver. Had such an amazing time we bought tickets to the Chicago and Madison shows and we're taking a short holiday to Chicago, so I guess you can see that I think it's definitely worth it. I know I'm far from the only one on these boards that is doing some travelling to catch several shows on this tour.

The Boston crowd are the exception when compared to feedback from all the shows so far, so I'd say take your chances and get yerself to Uniondale.

Definitely head to Nassau Colliseum, in my opinion, one of the greatest places to see a show, great sound, great crowd. To anyone that's experiencing the Beasties for the first time this tour, take advantage. Once you get old and work permanent jobs without the ability to take days off to travel to shows, you'll regret not going...

Word up, my man Seth and I are from Maine and we saw them in June at the 9:30 Club and in Camden, NJ for the Y100 Feztival.

We also saw them this past week in Virginia, NYC, Philly, and Mass. We have Montreal and Long Island lined up for November.

We met a lot of peeps traveling too.... one guy traveled from San Diego just to see a binch of East Coast dates. Very Cool.

Very Cool.Reading your posts in the other threads, it sounds like you two have had an amazing time. I would love to have hit the east coast and done the stretch you just did. Chicago is a great second choice for me though because I love that city and it gave me a good excuse to go back.

Have a great time in Montreal. I bought tickets for that show too, but opted for the trip to Chicago instead.

Once you get old and work permanent jobs without the ability to take days off to travel to shows, you'll regret not going...Hey, I'm old. :p I'm going to four shows.

It's true you should take the opportunity when it presents itself though. Life is too damn short so live it well.

Word up. People thought I was crazy to go to that many shows. I was like... they only tour every 6 years, you gotta take advantage of it when it happens.

People think we're nuts if we tell them why we're going to Chicago. I don't get that. If we just say we're taking a holiday to Chicago, we're perfectly sane. Tell them we're seeing two Beastie Boys shows while we're there and we're suddenly crazy.

I go to school right across the street at Nassau Community, so I'll definitely be there. And yes, the Coliseum is a good venue. Not as good as MSG, of course. But still...yeah, it'd be worth it to go.

I contemplating going to this show too. Decisions, decisions.

Micodin

10-14-2004, 09:45 PM

So which show was the best and why?

NYC was the best for me because it was in the MSG and there was so many people that showed up.

Philly is a close second because we was interviewed by Mike D and we got a song request and props from the Boys during the show.

But every show was amazing.... like always!

long island is only good for the ocassional beastie concert. its not good for anything else is a load of shit really. so by all means if you're gonna go to long island go when it'll be half way decent, a beastie concert. i mean its not new york city but its not hell either. its a few steps ahead of hell.

OH SNAP, YO. i just be dissing L.I. with dem verbal jabs son. keeping it reala dun.

nah, just kidding. long island, whatever. hey, thats where everywhere heads out to once they have enough money to leave the city. i guess its like the promised land and shit.

Hell yeah, it's worth it, I'm in staten island and we just travelled to the Wachovia Center in PA this past Monday to see the Boy's and it was well worth it, the concert was insane, the Beastie's kicked ass. We also got tickets to the Uniondale concert, and hell yeah, it's worth it. You should go bro.
