The transcript is the B-Boys section of a review of all the bands which played Perth BDO.
X-Press is a free music weekly in Perth.
Sporting matching orange and black tracksuits, headlining act the Beastie Boys entertained to a sea of thousands who were chanting the band's name long before they emerged. The Beastie's every move was captured on a giant video screen complete with impressive special effects and the occasional humorous videos of ninjas, a man in a gorilla suit biting Mix Master Mike and failed back-flip attempts. Shortly after Mike's set of insanely fast scratching which included Purple Haze, the boys opened with No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn and ran through material from virtually their entire back catalogue including Sabotage, Intergalactic, Ch-Check It Out and Gratitude. The New Yorkers recieved possibly the biggest crowd reaction of the day, as they jumped off the stage to stand between the barricade and the mosh-pit. Despite how tired, dirty and sunburnt the fans may have been by this point, for many the Beastie Boys were the undisputed highlight of yet another excellent Big Day Out.
