totally. but nevertheless a very underrated part of the live repetoire.

For some reason I replied to this thread in "I just bought AIFST" or whatever it's called.

Adrock taking off his hat during Intergalactic and screaming his lyrics acapella.

The cat's dueling on the jumbo screen behind the performance.

Mike D "dancing" with that chick.

When one of the Beasties jumps on stage, and keeps going up.

The lady air-guitaring during Sabotage.


I can't really narrow it down more than that :D

[balohna]

Going on
On!
Like nothing can phase me!

was pretty cool too, I don't know why... it repeated over and over again for no apparent reason yet it worked.

[korn_phr33k]

ill definately second the performance of Hello Brooklyn (always loved that one)

and the jumping and flying up, that was so random and hilarious the first time i saw it.

i like the little part when MCA's just sitting on the edge of the stage while the crowd is doing the singing (remember?)

Adrock with mikes glasses

and "Goddamn you Mike!" during brass monkey

man is that concert great...

the crowd during paul revere

I love the opening sequence from the Scarface goof, to the fisheye shot of the city. (Because the fisheye is so extreme, it makes NYC look like half the world. Try extrapolating that curve in your mind and you'll see.) I love the mixing of voice clips between shout outs, Flava, and the instructions. I love how the camera speeds up over the Empire State Building (that 30 secs gives me chills). The pre-game pump is obviously priceless. The ring announcer intro by MMM to the askew angle out to the first grid with the sub-bass voice is probably my favorite sequence of the whole thing.

I like the surprise of "Hello Brooklyn". How MMM fakes left with OLTNYC, Adrock takes the three point screaming "Hello Brookly" and something about how MCA smiles and walks backward. That whole sequence does it for me even more than the rest of the song.

I also love the dancing (especially Adrock holding his hat and his strut later on), angles and negative filter (that turns almost everything white) on "So Whatcha Want". (Whoa, I think that's the song. I love the visuals so much, I can't remember. It's like visual Wayne, it makes me forget.)

I love the extreme filters on "Gratitude" (gotta play this at my funeral) except for the dark green embossed one. I wish they'd left that one out.

In general I love how each song has its own feel. Triple Trouble is almost entirely audience, hyper-shakey, blow-out colors, by traditional standards, ugly. I did expect more visual puns, although I beginning to see more the more I watch it.

[DirtyPete]

take the open shot boys take the open shot

time to get ill and paul revere

[Jmoney77]

hello brooklyn, Intergalatic, Brass Monkey-Fuck it, the whole thing is my favorite

[dave790]

In general I love how each song has its own feel

Absolutely bang on. And, cheesy as it sounds, it all comes together as one amazing experiance.

[jackrock]

I like it all, but I especially get exctied at the beginning behind stage, and when MMM makes his insane intro. and One shot features a hand in front of the lens "crushing" the faraway rappers between his fingers;

[Prot]

I loved the little cat taunting the bigger cat with both paws up, only to be pounced on and tackled later.

Het whats up havent seen you around here since after the Austin concert in 04, whats up. Thanks for the pics BTW

[King PSYZ]

I thought TENNIS ACTION TPK™ was the highlight

[jackrock]

The bass thump on paul revere.

[acamus]

Absolutely bang on. And, cheesy as it sounds, it all comes together as one amazing experiance.

After so many viewings, I'm also loving how there are different phases. Like the B/W phase that starts with Ricky's Theme and continues through to RRNN, like metachapters. I agree with Yauch that the instructions for Time to Get Ill could have been movie-magiced shorter.

[dave790]

Maybe, although there's a funny bit in the instructions where Yauch kinda looks at the camera shaking his head at Adrocks instructions, it's made me laugh a few times now.

And agreed on the phasings, I like the Body Movin' graffitti style thing too. All of the 'segments' break it all up really well.

[jackrock]

I need 2 beers!

[IDIOTSVILLE]

Time To Get Ill with Doug E. Fresh ruled(y)

[Friis gal]

I need 2 beers!
and she only hands him one :p

Yeah, the part where Adrock calls his section "the beautiful people" and Yauch shakes his head? Good one.

I didn't realize how much work went into Body Movin'. Yauch said the had to export that frame-by-frame to Photoshop, render them and them peice it all back together in Finalcut. That's a lot of work. And you're right, it does look good.

[laurie_hammy]

yeah its awsome that. even the dancde looks awsome how its repeated. LOVE IT :D

[ggirlballa]

i just watched it again a while ago & loved it

I even started moshing in my living room when they played Sabatoge cuz i was home alone and well fuck it i was in the mood to mosh theres couch pillows on the floor now...

hahaha i know thats wack:rolleyes: :D

i was a little dissapointed that they didn't record Talib Kweli but i was happy that he made an appearence in the "Never Stop Rapping" extra doing his own version of "Fight for Your Right"(y)

That's exactly what I was thinking when I watched it for the first time, looks photoshopped

[steve-onpoint]

Hello Brooklyn is da shiddit.

Me be diggin' Mike subbin' Kool Moe D for "You and Me" versus Busy Bee. ;)

It's those little details that go a long way.

[steve-onpoint]

That Time To Get Ill performance is as dope as a muthuh, as well. Dance, sucka!

And I appreciate the attention our filmmaker paid to hygiene during All Lifestyles.

[AdrocksYungLady]

I Gotta Say, I was feelin the So what'cha want performance. The "breath" beat fits the song perfect, Adrock was even feelin it grabbin his hat and shit. ~~~~~~One Of my fav Parts Of the DVD.

[Justin]

uh what!?

[kleptomaniac]

d) all of the above (!)


but if i just had to pick one moment, which is IMPOSSIBLE, but if i just had to then it would be....

you know what? it is impossible, so why pick just one???


first of all, all the detours are GREAT (especially them rehearsing hello brooklyn & adrock's kinda stressin' over it & he's like "is the really how it goes?" but the performance was AWESOME you'd never know that happened :D)

MMM intro, he just rocked the whole place!--best dj ever.

dancin' on the beach--haha i just can't get over that :P

TIME TO GET ILL! need i say more?

seein' ben stiller singin' aloud with the crowd!

the whole thing! just everything! every song! every move! every angle!
WOW! i can't stop watchin' it over & over again, it's so addicting.

i love the grid. it's all about the grid, baby (y)

my eyes are just darting all over the screen, back and forth, left and right man. :p

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

AAAHHHH!! LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!! *Screams and covers eyes*

Some of us havent seen it yet!!!!! :mad:

[beatrix_rocks]

The whole thing was awesome. I'm jealous of those who got to see it in a theatre, I know that was awesome. And I'm even more jealous of those in the crowd who got to see it live. Makes me realize I've got to see them live, no doubt.

Hey Beasties, Tupelo, MS is a very nice venue. BancorpSouth Center, you should consider coming here. Plus as an extra added fun side trip you could visit Elvis Presley's birth place! That's right! Elvis was born in Tupelo, MS and you could visit his birth place and play an awesome show all in the same day! Think it over. We'd love to have y'all down here, for sure! (y)

[jgreen]

my fave part is definitely when the camera guy looks up at the scoreboard with that look on his face and then ad-rock takes of LOL
and

during sabotage when the chick screeeams "I NEED MORE GIMMEE MOOORE!"


haha ok i lied the whole movie is my favorite part

[jackrock]

Last song, bullshit...

[dave790]

Adrock: '...the beautiful people'

MCA: 'What's that all about?'

[Tat_Rock]

Adrock in RootDown. Fuck, he's amazing. His dancing is like on another level of awesome.

And then I make some love, I put my root down
Like Sweetie Pie by The Stone Alliance
Everbody knows I'm known for dropping science
I'm electric like Dick Hyman
Oh! Oh! Oh! (Rhymin')
Never let you down with the stereo sound
So Mike, get on the mic, goddammit turn it out!!!

He's so into it. SO into it.

OH MY GOOGNESS. WORD THE FUCK UP TAT_ROCK

GODDAMIT TURN IT OUT !

Adrock is THE KiNg

My fav part was prob Sure Shot cause thats always amazing live.

Especially

"Listen Everybody Cause Im...........chika chika chika FRESHHHHH"

oh and Pass The Mic was insane too.

YES YES YALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE IT :)

[mellowlikejello]

paul revere without a doubt.

being there in person was crazy. thats why live music is my favorite thing (and that show the best i've been too). when you're in the middle of all those thousands of people screaming every word together, its such a great feeling.

the whole dvd was great tho. i loved watching sabotage too.

I agree about Pass the Mic. The Jay Z sample was so sexy for some reason. And in Sure Shot when Mix Master played a "Let Me Clear My Throat" sample I died a little. They like change up their delivery over different samples. That's what's so exciting about the live aspect. TOO MUCH OF JOY!

(y) Swoooning...

[paul jones]

Just like in the Criterion Collection, I enjoyed the commentary

[AdrocksYungLady]

I was on youtube and I was looking for posse in effect performances and there was one for MSG, but its not on the DVD though. I confused?(lb)

[jackrock]

GODDAMIT TURN IT OUT !

This part I wasn't a huge fan of. It killed the flow. I like "..Come turn it out" It sounds so much smoother. But to each their own.

[balohna]

I'm surprised they had to stress over Hello Brooklyn. I saw them a couple weeks earlier in Vancouver and they pretty much nailed it. During the "shrimpy limp dick part" Mike started going "Oh oh!" and then Adrock and MCA stopped and looked at him and the song started falling apart, but up until that point it was perfect.

[Pres Zount]

Green bullet-time in Check it out.

[Chicka B]

*Gasp* My favorite AIFST moment? Is there such thing?! The whole damn thing! Okokokok, I've been watchin this movie everyday and it has so much energy it gets me all hyped up. I love how each song is edited differently and switches from one camera to another, they all have different vibes, it's all about the vibes maaaan (pothead voice). You can tell Nathanial Hornblower worked hard on it. ;) But just to name a few:

Yeah I know it's been said more then once, but...HELLO BROOKLYN!!! So many good things happenin in this one, Adrock yellin into the mic like that always gives me goosebumps. And Yauch's daughter (I think) in the audience doin some crazy zombie move haha! Also when Yauch said "I got the jammy but I don't got the permit" a camera operator did the gun thing with his hand you know. With the bass and the rhymes, that song always kicks ass live! (y)

Time To Get ILL! Y'all know...

Adrock's funky moves during So Whatcha Want, when Yauch says the verse "But little do you know about somethin I talk..." acapella, he just flows so well on that song. They all do, it's a favorite.

I love the instrumental section, nice slow rhythms to give the audience a chance to cool down. Yauch looks chill as fuck playin the bass. :cool:

Something's Got To Give, get weeded! I really love how everything seems to be in slow motion, and the close up of the bass.

The elevator scene is an obvious one, it's like everything's so hectic bein infront of all those people, to being cooped up in a little elevator listening to that quiet elevator music. Then right back to the crowd again with Intergalactic, the most hectic part of the whole damn show! I agree with whoever said Adrock screamin his lyrics acapella.

When the fuzz bass of Gratitude came on, I love that song

SABOTAGE! Dedicated to that dumbass president of ours. Of course the lady playin air guitar, and the dude playin air bass. Cracked me up!

The end, with that song playin almost makes me wanna cry. And who the fuck is that dude sayin "beastie boys suck, you all suck, fuck you..." was he bein sarcastic or what? That made me laugh though, because it was so random and untrue.

At the end backstage, they're gettin major props from Doug E Fresh so that's cool. I liked the interview with Ben Stiller. Yes I'm a girl, so you know I liked watchin D and Horovitz undressing. :o

I'm not sure if anyone noticed but I just love how the last word on the movie is "Brooklyn". It's just such a coincidence!

Damn, I couldn't pick just one. But I love EVERYthing on the whole dvd. I'm tired, donno what else to say (it's 2 am). Just ramblin on and on...haha.

[laurie_hammy]

This part I wasn't a huge fan of. It killed the flow. I like "..Come turn it out" It sounds so much smoother. But to each their own.

Yeah it does sound better the normal way, im with you.

I was just admiring how he gets so into it an screams !!!

[enree erzweglle]

I loved the little cat taunting the bigger cat with both paws up, only to be pounced on and tackled later.This is such a sweet and perfect description of ninja cat. (y)

I don't have a favorite bit yet. I'm still going through the DVDs. :o

[kleptomaniac]

"last song, bullshit!! i want more!"

i was feelin' the same way. i wasn't ready for it to end! :p

seriously, i think i'm falling in love with the grid. it's like beastie boys enter the matrix, y'all! the lights, the cameras, & all the (crazy) action, gotta love it. i HEART the grid. there, i said it.

and there's that little part when one of the camera people put their hand in front and pretended to squash 'em haha. that part just suddenly stood out in my mind. so small, yet so significant in a way i guess. well, not really, but it's a funny part.

EXTREME CLOSE-UP!!!! yauch's bass :D

just let me go on and on. and on and on.


I'm not sure if anyone noticed but I just love how the last word on the movie is "Brooklyn". It's just such a coincidence!

just the way God intended it (y) ;)

[adrock14]

my favorite part??? the whole damn movie!!! i cant choose a part. the whole movie!!! (y) :D :o (y) :D

[icatchyou_sucka]

haha the barbeque (extras). Jerome was so full of himself. MCA's little daugter going, "Jerome wears coconut lotion" haha. shes so adorable.

[FAN of ADROCK]

The part in 'never stop rapping yet' (special feature) where the guy says "We'd love to hear, Ill communication!" and it cuts to MCA saying "What the fuck are you talking about, Ill Communication's not even a song..What the Fuck (Mike D: Dumbass!)?"

[ggirlballa]

ahaha i couldn't tell if it was mike or adam saying dumbass but it was funny & random

[razmatazern]

haha the barbeque (extras). Jerome was so full of himself. MCA's little daugter going, "Jerome wears coconut lotion" haha. shes so adorable.

yeah that part about coconut lotion made me laugh (y)

[laurie_hammy]

haha the barbeque (extras). Jerome was so full of himself. MCA's little daugter going, "Jerome wears coconut lotion" haha. shes so adorable.

I thought it may have been her. And also at the start of "Helly Brooklyn" there is a girl acting like a Zombie I thought that might be her too and she's next to 2 other kids with headphones.

[Friis gal]

Hmm, def the head squashing thing, and when they say "fuck the kkk" and the screen freezes.
uhh and when adrock flies up and out of the screen, all great (y)

[Weezman]

when the boys went up in the balcony....other than that i dont remember too much,...i would have to see it again to reveal my fav moment.

[Funkyfreshgrape]

AAAHHHH!! LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!! *Screams and covers eyes*

Some of us havent seen it yet!!!!! :mad:
like me, i order it off amazon, and it hasn't came yet!:mad: (n)

[laurie_hammy]

Another fav of myne is during the YES YES YALL Adrock verse on Pass The Mic and he has something in his hand an when he says "IM ALWAYS ON TIME NEVER THE LESS YALL" he point up to MIX MIASTER and he arms goin crazy and the thing in his hand is movin. Just love the arm pointing to MIX MASTER :cool:

[rileigh]

I love the bit at the end of Shake Your Rump where Yauch is like "Everybody in this mother f**king place let me here you say hoooooooooooo." Its so awesome. And you can't go pass the audience in Paul Revere, and the boys just sitting on the stage and letting them sing. That was great. Also Ben Stiller singing along in the crowd, and Never Stop Rapping Yet, So What'cha Want, aaaaaaaaah the whole thing!!!

[acamus]

I just thunka sumthin'. Adrock's got epilepsy, he's on meds for it, does flash photography still affect him? How does watching AIFST (especially milisecond sequences like in Ch-Check It Out) affect him?

I remember seeing Timothy Leary give a talk right before he died. He started his show with the kind of early 3D animation that showed up on TV screens at the local stereo shop to show off DVDs for the first time. Anyway, Leary was talking about using light through projected images to affect the brain in ways we hadn't before. I remember a bunch of friends talking to him after the show and him saying somewhere along the line that there's just so much you can get out of substances, that there were other ways to see parts of ourselves we hadn't seen before.

Has anyone seen the Brian Eno DVD that's just an art installation; it doesn't have narrative? I can't remember what it's called.

I think I remember Yauch saying somewhere that playing (I'd assume 3D) videogames prepares you for AIFST. Now that is totally paraphrasings, but I thought it was something like that. If he didn't say that I can say I've seen it. Some people who didn't grow up on Wolfenstein and saw Doom for the first time wanted to wretch. MTV gen likes things faster. That kind of thing.

I know this seems like random thoughts, but I wonder if AIFST is going to have any psychological effects (not like solarizing) on people. Not saying it was part of Yauch's master plan, just that it might have unintended consequences -- good, ill, whatever. I didn't see the epilepsy warning at the beginning of AIFST that printed in every videogame manual.

BTW, I noticed that the Best Buy, Double Disk version I have, has a Lionsgate logo (what do you call those) play before THINKfilm's and Oscilloscope's. There might be more stuff, but I haven't noticed because I haven't been playing from the beginning of the disks. I know it's small, but it's fun. It's like playing that game "What's Different" where you try to pick out what's different between two pictures. Yeah, for like adults and shit.

[rileigh]

Hmm... random thoughts acamus.
Haha I just realised that before Time To Get Ill Yauch like subtly coughs "timetogetill" to Adrock I think. Maybe Adrock forgot what song was next. Perhaps?

[Funkyfreshgrape]

i liked it when they did time to get ill!:D :cool: (y)

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

My favorite was the part where Thier interveiwing the fans and asking them what songs they wanna hear and that one dude is like "Ill communications" and Yauch snaps on him as Is like "What the fuck? Ill comminications isnt even a fucking song!" And of course the BBQ was CLASSIC. I loved it. yay Jamie!! :) (y)

[midzi]

this girl (http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/9246/pdvd027xt4.png) during Paul Revere cracks me up

Does anyone know what it is in Adrock's hand ? Im guessing goggles lol.

[enree erzweglle]

I enjoyed one of the commentaries where, while they were watching themselves perform from within the audience, they said that they should do a whole tour in that fashion (performing in/among the crowd). One of them suggested doing lap dances and possibly being able to collect some tips.

Another bit in the commentary: Yauch asks them to tell the good people something about the film and Horovitz (I think) says something like, "Oh. Okay. Here, we're rapping." Something like that.

I also liked one of the detours where Horovitz and Mike D. were off to the side doing a few steps of this kind of charleston-era dance. I haven't rewatched that but that was the impression that I had when I watched it that one time. It might have been the first detour. I have a feeling that I've missed some of them.

the little dance Mike an Adrock do is during Root Down.


The Hello Brooklyn practice is still up there with one of my fav moments. Its just cool them chatting with each other.

Although when thet are practicing it Adrock is like whispering the words. Can hardly here the King. (n)

[Lo_Lyfe]

i get so teary through intergalactic. i love that shit.
