Rome show!

[xavito]

Hey, I've just come back from the show in Rome and I'm back in Milan.

I don't have much time to write a proper review but I'll try to do it later. In the mean time here you have the songs I remember from last night (an all hip hop set of approx. 1.20 minutes):

MMM intro (a very short one, maybe because the show was already starting really late)
Super Disco Breakin’
Root Down
Sure Shot
Triple Trouble
Egg Man
An Open Letter to NYC
Pass The Mic
Paul Revere
3 The Hard Way (because of the italian rhymes probably)
Shake Your Rump
Right Right Now Now
Body Movin’
Brass Monkey
Ch-Check It Out
Three MC’s And One DJ

Encore:
Intergalactic
So What’Cha Want

That's nice,Xavito! Thank U for setlst,but very interesting - Whether MTV2 will show all concert today or only will show a pair of songs?
Today at 8PM(european time) MTV2 will show MTV Music Awards and they 've announced - Beastie Boys!

No Sabatoge in the encore? Interesting.

[romanpetr]

Yep,they haven't created even any instrumental songs,it means that there no was Money Mark and Alfredo Ortiz...I hope they 'll take them on full european tour...

None of them were there, but that's because it was a show organized because the beasties were around for the MTV music awards. I'm sure in december MM and Alfredo will come too.

They didn't even mention anything about the Pageant!

[DandyFop]

Hey Xavito, don't know if you remember me, from the JMJ show, I took the pictures with that black and white camera.

Cool to see you around still loving the Beasties. Nice website too. I hope you had a good time at the show.

What do you mean?

[cj hood]

What do you mean?


a full length (hour plus) hiphop show without instruments........

[sethomas]

a full length (hour plus) hiphop show without instruments........


what about Coachella and the JMJ tribute shows?

[paulb]

sounds like fun! Im happy u had a good time Xavier!

[Laver1969]

what about Coachella and the JMJ tribute shows?

I'm not sure if they were over an hour long. I know at Coachella they did 17 songs. And about the same for JMJ.

Hey X...did they sport the tracksuits or games shirts? Did MMM have the the big jumbo screens on his tables area?

[xavito]

Nope, not at all. There was only a big screen behind MMM.

[laura]

I was almost there!!
I called xavi and I heard 3-4 minuts of the concert by my mobile! :cool:

I listened body movin!
(dammit classes and exams :( (n) )

[m4th1]

Molto molto bello il concerto di ieri sera, peccato forse per la troppa gente.
Mi aspettavo però almeno Sabotage e Gratitude o Sabrosa....magari però prendo e vado a milano per ascoltarle :D
Xavito dove eri all'interno del tendone?

Mix Master Mike played fucking fucking Bene!

[laura]

m4th...at least now you should write in english, otherwise only 3-4 people will understand.. :rolleyes:
I think the show in Rome was like all the shows of last may, the promo tour. that means 3mcs and the magic dj.

for milan:
tickets (again :mad: ) are not aviable! To be newly available soon

[dave790]

wow........this hasn't happened since the 80's.......lucky you!!!

yeah it has!

[romanpetr]

That's right,Laura! They've missed Rome then with secret gig and now they compensated it!

Hey DandyFop! Yeah, I remember you from Vegas. I hope you are doing good :-)

[massimiliano]

was the show really that good?
I don't think so.
Having witnessed a proper bb gig, I mean, having already heard them also play instruments, I guess a djonlyonehourgig just like they did in rome, could lead to a plain gig... as, to my honest opinion, happened.
let's dress up for milan and see what's the difference like.

[massimiliano]

furthermore,
I don't think the new so watcha want version is soooo good.

The problem was the venue and people and the organization of the whole thing, not the hip hop set.

[massimiliano]

I totally disagree.
the place is cool (remember: price of the ticket - 6 euro, for non europeans: 8 usdollars +/-); the organization is totally self managed and furthermore I wonder what is the problem like with the crowd.
could it be better in milan? is it a rome-milan issue?
just wondering...

Well, I'm spanish so I don't think it's a milan-rome issue at all. I was right at the front and I can tell you that many girls were suffering from the drunk people who didn't care at all about the music and were just moshing all the time. I don't think having all those glass bottles around was very safe either, not just for the band itself but also for the people. Not to talk about the security, I am not normally in favour of the security but seeing all these girls asking for help and having the security guys just looking at them without doing anything was totally unnacceptable.

Before you ask, I've seen the beasties play 6 times so I kinda know what I'm talking about.

Everybody get naked in Milan :D

[fonky pizza]

So it was like the promo tour gig set! :)

Paris last May was great (y)

Ma che casino è successo?

Se no, sono state fatte delle foto?

[xavito]

Tutto era permesso, quindi c'erano tante persone facendo foto, video, ecc. Io purtroppo non avevo niente...

[lino_banfi]

3 The Hard Way (because of the italian rhymes probably)


Probably!

I noted that the lyrics written in the album aren't the same MCA sings:

"Que cosa fai? Come sta e? Ho fato molte telefonate."
In italian (as MCA sings instead) it's:
"Che cazzo fai? Come stai? Ho fatto molte telefonate."

In a BBoys interview with an italian MTV's vj that told it to them, MCA told:
"What a f**k, I think I was right, damn!"

So MCA please call me if you'll have to sing Italian rhymes!

Kisses to everybody
Lino

I am sorry you experienced such a bad environment…
Venues and crowds like that are ok to me. It’s true, there were dozens of bottles, everywhere, but none was thrown up in the air and we didn’t get in trouble.
I enjoyed the gig on the back of the tent and everything was fine and relaxed.

[laura]

I wasnt there..
but I totally trust xavito.. so I believe him.

I think an hip hop set is something unique.
I went to paris for it!

The problem was the venue and people and the organization of the whole thing, not the hip hop set.
prevedibile fin dall'inizio.
si sapeva benissimo. io e xavito ne avevamo parlato..

[massimiliano]

posso chiederti perché prevedibile?

[laura]

per come è stato organizzato.. da culo!
minton aveva scritto la news il 6 nov e fino a 2 giorni prima in italia non si sapeva con sicurezza dov'era e quanto costava. (sono online da almeno tre anni e ho visto come i beasties organizzano i loro concerti...anche per il promo tour di maggio)
il promoter è un incompetente! ed mtv non poteva farsi scappare un'occasione così ghiotta!! ovvero non poteva permettere un concerto del genere senza il suo patrocinio..
chi in italia conosce bene i beasties sa benissimo che un concerto a roma lo avrebbero fatto comunque perchè quello di maggio era saltato. (infatti sono rimasta stupita che il pegeant si fermasse a milano)

la prova dell'incompetenza di clearchannel è il modo con cui viene gestita la vendita dei biglietti per milano!!

e poi non credo che alla EMI Italia gliene freghi qualcosa. in italia non vendono molto e a loro torna più utile far vincere agli EMA uno come Tiziano Ferro e fare il pienone negli stadi con un ******* come Vasco Rossi.

[massimiliano]

continuo a non capire.
sono stati i bb a scegliere il villaggio globale, promoter vari ed mtv non sono stati coinvolti.
eminenze catodiche sono addirittura rimaste fuori con i cancelli chiusi...
per quanto riguarda il pubblico, beh, è quello di roma, nel bene e nel male.

[laura]

loro anno scelto di suonare a roma.. (sono sicura che non gliel'ha chiesto mtv)
ma poi secondo te chi l'ha organizzato? e chi ha messo il skeo(i soldi)? Babbo Natale??!??

Roma secondo me è la città più bella d'italia...ma non ho mai visto un concerto li, non posso dire.. ma mi fido ciecamente di xavi!

[PiNNO!]

******* stand for a D, a R, two O, a G, an A and a T???

;) :D

Non ne so molto, ma sono convinta che alla fine lo zampino di Mtv c'è eccome...come c'è quello di probabili promoter incompetenti. Non ero presente allo show ma da quello che ho letto e capito è stato organizzato a cazzo. Il fatto di aver sentito parlar male dell'organizzazione di molti eventi di Mtv (compreso il live pomeridiano al Colosseo) mi fa pensare che ci sia qualcosa in comune. Poi chessò, magari mi sbaglio...sono solo ipotesi :)
