1.MMM was in top form, he was laying down some ill samples for the Beasties to rhyme over. I say not including the origianl music for each B-Boy song rapped live, MMM include 3-4 other samples in each song. My favorite was on "Pass the Mic", where he played a sample from Snoop Doggs "Drop it Like its Hot" while the Beasties rapped over it. MMMs scratching, beat-juggling and etc. was in top-form.
2.The was a noice selection of tracks form LTI and PB performed, along with "Skills to Pay the Bills". My fav throwback track played last night was "Paul Revere", they had the crowd rap the first part of the song. MMM even drop the "The Best in mens clothing" radio ad from Pauls Boutique.
3.The instrumental set was my favorite part of the show. As expected, Money Mark and Alfredo accompanied them. The all came out on this smaller stage with outdoor party lights. Powder-blue tuxes baby! Alfredo looked the part and Ad Rock definately acted the part of members of a band resembling a cheap-hire 1970's high school prom band. All 5 guys were squeezed together on this stage but it looke friggin' hilarious, but a good hilatious. The songs the played was Sambrosa, Rickys Theme, and Something Gotta Give".
4.The encore was as expected, Intergalactic, Gratitude and Sabo, with the Beasties going in the crowd to do Intergalactic. They truely are fan friendly. Gratitude and Sabotage was again performed on a smaller stage on the main stage.
5.Its clear as the Beastie roll on this tour, fans can expect to see new things night after night. But whats cool with it the Beasties will be seeing the same stuff for the 1st time also. There were random videos played and it was clear that the Beasties were seeing them for the 1st time also, and its cool to see them respond. And knowing MMM, it was also clear he was throwing different unrehearsed samples for the Beasties to rap over, making each show unique.
All in all, you people in for a heckofa show and expect anything and everything, from old-school Beastie songs mixed with todays hip-hop samples to the typical Beastie humor-infused rap session.
