Detroit Was Unbelievable!

[FogHorn LegHorn]

And yes, that was my beautiful wife with the OLD SCHOOL - Licensed To Ill long sleeve shirt on the big screen video at the concert!

The beasties were incredible and we got a chance to go back stage before the concert. The group posed with everyone for pictures and I made a comment to Adrock because he was posing differently for each picture. Typical Adam, goofing around!

Even MCA commented on the Licensed To Ill shirt. He said "Hey look at the vintage shirt, is that real? My wife told he yes, that we got it at the first concert back in 1987.

Overall, just another outstanding performance by the Beastie Boys!

Best fuckin concet ever! I was crying I was so happy I thought I was dreaming ! they sound exactly the same and Mike D waved to me and he made a HUGE smile! I was dieing and then Adrock looked at me lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Mike took off his shirt it was all good

[Knuckles]

[cosmo105]

Show started off with some girl holding a pair of ice skates and then a masked dude ran by here and clubed her in the knee, she fell to the ground and started doing the why me speil (very funny) Mix master mike was watching all this unfold and told the girl he would like to help her but he had to go onstage, then it shows mix master walking towards the stage holding a record that says get ready on it

Was frickin awesome, Had GA seats right up against the barricade a little to the left of the stage

Highlight of the show for me was when I threw my tie on stage and ad rock picked it up and was wearing it for about three or four songs! (when I threw my tie on the stage the security guard grabbed my shoulder and told me if he catches me throwing anything else on the fucking stage then he was going to kick my ass out, the guy needed to relax)

The only bad part of the show was that I was right in front of the speakers so the sound was a little distorted, but being front row and interacting with the beasties was well worth it.

The bass in gratitude almost blew me away it was fucking nuts

During Paul revere mca climbed into the audience for the whole song it was great

I seen James b roving around with the camera on the floor before the show and requested hello Brooklyn, I don’t know, live at p.j’s and the move but they didn’t play any of those, that’s ok cause it was the best concert I have ever been to Period!

[brooklyndust]

I also forgot to mention in between the barricade in the stage I seen Money Mark, Cey Adams, A.W.O.L. Amery Smith, and Alfredo just walking around during the performances

Money mark was a mad man on the keyboards too!

If I got a chance to see the beasties again I would rather have seats in the upper tier to get a different perspective of the show

Also I seen midwestpain and his wife on the big screen, also mca was wearing midwest fuzzy hat for a couple of songs also seen foghorn leghorns wife on the big screen to

I was on the big screen singing along during Paul revere, I was the skinny guy short brown hair wearing the white dress shirt

[brooklyndust]

also kid rock was in the house backstage

he requested some songs but I couldnt hear him

[hotchedder]

That was a great show, they sounded so good. People have been saying that they mess up songs or mixmaster messes up songs. But not tonight, they were flawless.

Hey that dude in the fuzzy white hat that MCA wore, did you get that back?
If that was my hat and I didnt get it back I would FREAK.

What was Kid Rock doing there? He was on the big screen and he was at the sound area when we were walking out.

[jdawg77]

I agree the show was so fuckin awesome. Closing with Sabatoge and dedicating it to Pres Bush was fuckin stellar. The best show I have been to in a long time..

[MidwestPain]

Hey that dude in the fuzzy white hat that MCA wore, did you get that back?
If that was my hat and I didnt get it back I would FREAK.




Yes I got it back...he handed it back to me when he was done with it. Made my night.

[Space]

sounds a lot like austin, btw i believe they just throw the chorus of finger lickin good in the middle/middle of Shake ur Rump...

[IloveMikeD*]

I think I was crying my eyes out during the whole show lol because that has always been my dream and when Mike D smiled and waved to me omg I couldnt stop crying! They are so fuckin amazing Mix Master is a fuckin amazing dj!!!!!!! AND YOU GAVE ADROCK THE TIE OMG YOUR SO FUCKIN LUCKY ! :) :eek:

[Mac D]

YES IT WAS AMAZING

i went crazy since they opened with eggman

[chica]

I wore a tiera and boa (sp?) and people kept asking me what was up with the crown. I told them it was a pageant and they were asking me if I won. How did people not know they were supposed to be dressed fly? I don't get it but I saw a few suits and that guy with a yellow afro and huge wooden cross necklace. At least he tried. I like that kid rock kicked it run dmc old school with the hat!

[pig_pen]

Man what a great night, was anyone in the mens bathroom when all those chicks came in and had to pee? hahaha..

The performance of Talib Kweli was nuts, the beat juggle by his Dj was fuckin awesome.. i think that lit the fuse right there... Then MMM came out and did a routine with a Jimi Hendrix riff in there! Then the bass came pumpin out for eggman. incredible

Did anyone record this? At least post some pics?

[ghettoverit]

holy shit, that was THE best conert i have ever been to. i was alomost front center the whole time, just a little to the right. i was on the big screen 3 times, with my furry boots. MCA was looking right at me for a while too and then he smiled at me. it was awesome considering it was my first b boys show ever.

[dave790]

sounds so good.

i can't wait til wembley

[fatmat772001]

The show was absolutely incredible, everything i thought it would be and more. Mix Master Mike was awesome, some of the things he was doing, and the speed with which he does them, left me awe struck. what a show, their stage presence is unmatched by any group ive ever seen, truely a life changing experience. Ive been rocking to the boys since liscensed to ill came out(i was 10) and had tics to the beastie/rage concert, but it got cancelled before it made it to the D. So after 10 long years I finally got to see the boys and it was great.

[fatmat772001]

last post should read ill communication, not liscensed to ill

[brooklyndust]

it was just a black dress tie

but your right about how the security complety killed my buzz when he got all in my face but I soon forgot about him and just continued to rock out

[BeastieAng]

I'm still so pumped up after that concert - INCREDIBLE!! My first time seeing Beasties and SOOOO worth the wait! I was right up in front on the left and Adrock winked at me (I'm so in love) - the whole night was a dream come true!! I was in awe the whole time, just amazing!!

[Nico Corvus]

It was so great. I refound my love for THE KING AD ROCK. :p I forgot how sexy he was! I love him screaming. ;)

[adrock14]

i loved the show.i was the happiest 12 year old.mca slaped me 5 and looked at me 3 times.so did adrock.i puked after the show.thats how worked up i was.they did such a great show.the only pain i feel from the show is that its over with and my cuts and black eye.it was cool to see them jam their instuments.they seem like such cool guys.if they come again i am so going.

[paulb]

12 years old? yur too young for the internet sunny...

[MidwestPain]

Where is Motownfunk? I saw him at the show and cannot believe he hasnt posted yet.

[dublirie04]

Yo, I completely agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The best one ever....by far....I dressed up super fly!!!! I was about at tears of joy too at times. Me and my homegirls will never forget the experience. The upper tier experience was a blast and nice perspective. I cruised around to many upper sections to make sure kids were staying hyped. I met many people that kept the vibes flowin at all times. When the boys were up in the middle (lower) tier at the end, I was hanging over the balcony lovin it. For this tour, that was the closest I was to them during that phase of the concert. Adrock pointed right up to me and we locked eyes almost to say, dang, it has been a while--nice to see you. This one will go down as one of my top b-boy get togethers ever. Much Respect to MMM...his skill has just gotten so tight over the years. Kid Rock was there for his hometown show. I thought that was fresh. That is definately why I came out too. Home town support in Michigan is always at its best. I am happy to say that Detroit and The Beastie Boys hosted an evening well worth the wait since the last cobo show I think 10 years age.
Thanks and Whats up to everyone that I partied with. Respect, Marirose
DJ DUB L IRIE :) ;) :D
