*Posted on October 9th, 2004*

Hey guys i just got back from the concert and WOW what a concert it was! My first and it totally over achieved anything i ever thought it would have.

To explain how so, i had a hotel in fairfax tonight after the show, but decided to check out early and drive 6 hours back because the adrenaline had not wore off yet(still hasnt and its 6:00am)

Before getting to the show...

I was on the floor far right, first row, green ae shirt, kacki shorts. I also was lucky to meet this intelligant 31 year old chick that i chilled with during the show, whom was the coolest ever! To bad she didnt have her cell with her, i would have loved to got ur digits (she had a husband...but yea..) I purchased the brown (shadrach single cover) t-shirt, they also had a few other shirts with "beastie boys" printed on them in diff colors. Also they were selling mixmasters mike's cd there as well and its funny because the vendor got his name completely wrong, im sure everybody was like what the hell!!(she wrote Mix Mystery Mike on the advertisement, I mentioned it to her and her response was "oh well close enough :mad: "

Sound

Great quality, i know this because i was standing right in front of the damned things, I thought it was gonna blow when they played gratitude

Dog Show

These dogs have talent, they also set a new indoor record jump (thats what they said anyways). They even done front summersaults!

The thing i most remember about the dog show is, adrock coming over and sitting like a few feet from me front row in the seats. He was whistling and was the dog's biggest fan! He may have been sitting with his sister there as well, cause they were all huggin and shit (it wasnt miss hanna) Another thing is i seemed to be the only one in the front row or anywhere around me to recognice the king adrock sitting there..I swear he looks like he's 21

Talib Kweli

Great Performance from approx 8:30-9:15. Crowd was "hot" all during his performance. All though most couldnt sing along because they havent heard his stuff, but we made some noise for the guy. Dj Clue isnt that bad either!
Talib also hung around for the beastie set right around me with this really hot chick hugging on him, lucky man! I saw him lip singing ch-check it out, hes a big beastie fan i can tell.

Beastie Boys From approx 9:45-11:15! Thats right 90 min set!

Before i start talking about the performance, i dont "correctly" remember the order after about the 3rd song, i just got so much into it, i was unable to keep track. Im sure someone will come up with a setlist anyways.

Also I'd like to mention how nice everyone was around me, no pushing, no shoving, everyone was just so nice! (except for this one jackoff further back in the floor booing after the "time to build" song. Also had some bush supporters when adrock said "whos voting for george W"

Of course Mix master mike started off with his usual intro with the ready to rumble at the end. The crowd was jacked before the beasties even hit stage

The show started with "triple trouble", "sure shot", and "EGGMAN"!

The songs performed tonight was;

LTI= Paul Revere, Posse in Effect (yes thats right, even though the called it the "new style 2" before the song, brass monkey

PB= Shake Your Rump, Eggman

CYH= Gratitude, Somethings got to give, So whatcha want,

IC= Sure Shot, Root Down, Sabotage, Groove Holmes, Sabrosa

HN= Super Disco Breakin, Body Movin, Intergalactic, 3mcs and 1 DJ (i was surprised with all the HN selections, NYC you will love it)

TT5B= (y) Time to Build, Right Right Now Now, ch-check it out, open letter to nyc (y) (y)

I hope I didnt leave out anything

______________________other notes________________
*They all started on stage wearing yellow adidas jump suits
*of course wearing the tuxedos during sabrosa, grove holmes, somethings to got give
*MCA had a lot of eye contact with us tonight, it was great.
*All 3 were having so much fun!
*Im stealing adrocks dance moves
*Mark is the shit, i thought he was gonna land on his head when they were doing sabotage because of him jumping around all crazy
*Another thing i noticed was they didnt replace lyrics! Especially the ones they usually substitute. Only catch i had of the night was during "shake ur rump" adrock said wooden stick instead of wiffle ball bat lol

Stuff about Mike D

*He wore his funny square sparkly glasses, which adrock tried on, and stroke a pose!
*He stayed more to the ground also, not much jumping, watch out NYC!
*Stopped Sure shot the first time about 10 seconds in, because he "wasnt feelin it". Which had us all clapping and goin crazy. Moments you can only live LIVE

MCA

*He actually wore shades with the tuxedo while doing the instrumentals, hilarious!
*hairs shorter, afro out!
*Of all the beasties i think i connected with MCA better than the other 2, because of eye contact. (not like the 1 second glance, like a 3-5 second stare saying "u feelin me"....i dig that! i think others can relate
*Wait til you hear "gratitude" from this show! MCA kicked some ass with the bass

Adrock

*laughing, joking, dancing...those 3 words sum up adrock tonight. He humped a lot of air tonight :p
*I laughed all night just looking at his facial expressions, you can just tell he's like the coolest guy ever, no joke!
*I still got this one thing he said stuck in my head before doing sabotage he said "heres a little number i'd like to dedicate to George W. He sang sabotage with some mother fucking feeling tonight! Including 2 long WHYYYYYYYYYY screams!

Song of the Night

Somethings got to GIVE!....holy shit after hearing this, it wasnt 'necessary to hear gratitude at all, being my fav song

Final Comments

Sorry if my thoughts/reviews were to long, but hey!, if theres gonna be a review, THERES GONNA BE A REVIEW

This is an experience I will NEVER forget. If i ever get married it better be damned good to beat this! They truly are the best damn band in the world, period! They proved it tonight. I heard alot of folks say on their way out that "this was the best show EVER" and thats sayin something for the DC area. Kick Ass show! If this show ever becomes availible on CD or DVD of some sort, get your hands on it no matter what, because it was a special night.

and that's right ya'll

[kleptomaniac]

so we're supposed to post OUR favorite quote, or somebody else's? :confused:

anyway i think the best posts are from the *cough* mike d thread *cough* but sadly i can't quote anything from there since it's long gone. :/

so i'm just gonna post my dream i had, which wasn't from too long ago (mmm only a few months i think), but good enough.

brace yourself now, this is going to be a long post. i'm copying this straight from my notebook. starting NOW:

really strange dream last night...

so i was lying in bed and it's around two something and i got up to get a drink (mountain dew) and after drinking that up and watching the end of some eddie murphy stand up i went back to sleep...

AND THE DREAM BEGINS:

so then it's me, yauch, mike, adam & a whole lotta other people i don't know standing around a bathroom? it was a really gross public gas station bathroom too so i dunno how we all fit in there. this lady suddenly walks in and asks where the atm machine is at, and yauch makes some kind of joke which makes everyone laugh. and i'm laughing because yauch's laughing and he looks beautiful when he laughs. beautiful might seem like a strange word, so perhaps amazing would do it.

then it sort of turns into kind of like a tv show. sometimes i'm "in the show" and sometimes i'm watching it on a tv while i'm taking a bubble bath? well y'know in real life i'd never be taking a bath while there's a tv plugged in and sitting on the ege of the tub :rolleyes: and even if i was, i'd at least think to be recording this!

so then it seems that yauch is looking for a place to get married (dunno to whom) so me, yauch and mike walk into this beautiful gigantic hall and we're looking at it, but all i remember is mike walking over towards the end of the hall and saying "i could give free hand jobs over here." then yauch laughs and tells him he's an idiot. that was like the funniest weirdest thing i ever dreamed! :p

so anyway next thing i remember is all three of us at their house, and yauch is giving some kinda "mtv cribs" style tour of the place, saying things like "this is where we get dressed, this is where we sleep, this is where we shower." i got hung up on the shower part though so i forgot a lot of things that happened between then and the next part of my dream. i wish i could remember what yauch was wearing..i just remember thinking "damn he looks fine in that." he went through a lotta "wardrobe changes" during my dream. stuff i'd never seen him wear before.

then me, yauch, and mike were walking aimlessly through the woods, looking for some house. then finally we find it and walk into the backyard. i'm guessing the wedding was taking place there?? yauch & mike were in tuxedos mmm....so then i forgot a lot of things after that.

so now i'm back in a hotel, and some girl walks out of an elevator (unfortunately i don't think it's me) she's wearing a ski cap & a fur coat and she's holding a foamy drink probably starbucks or something. she calls out yauch's name, who comes. they talk for awhile, then yauch puts some foam on her nose so she splashes some of her drink on him and they're laughing having their foamy drink fight and the elevator dorrs close, takin' them up.

all of a sudden i'm in an elevator with my friend's mom and we go into my friend's room. so my friend is all "why didn't you call me?" and i'm all "i've been busy. sheesh." so we're fighting then i have enough and walk out of the room and i'm walking down this hallway where there's a room at the end, but there's no door. so of course i walk right in and there's yauch sleeping! and i'm thinking "kiss him kiss him" but then again i'm afraid he's going to wake up, so i sort of start to back off. this is when i'm starting to wake up, because i can totally feel my heart racing! i must respond really well to dreams...anyway i don't wake up thank god. but suddenly there's my friend (not the same one i was fighting with) and she's kneeling next to his bed asking me if i kissed him yet and i say no, then she kisses him right on the lips! that pisses me off and i walk back into the room. she's looking at him dreamily and she's like "good morning adam yauch" or something like that which was creepy because in real life she thinks the beastie boys are old & gross and doesn't even know their names.

so i'm standing there confused when she takes out a camera. "just one picture" she says, but before she can take one, yauch wakes up, takes the camera, and takes a picture of me standing there looking at him. then he says something like "no angle you're missing an angle on your camera." then i'm not sure if he falls back asleep, but my friend hands me the camera and says "quick! take a picture of us!" so i say "okay but then you're taking one of me & him." she says fine, i take the picture. then there's a flash and i wake up. i found it really weird yauch didn't have a beard....

so i'm lying there in bed for a few hours, not wanting to fall asleep again, trying to piece together my dream because i figure "this goes in the dream thread" this is actually probably only half the dream because i don't have a very good memory so there's stuff i left out. like being in a car wash, beastie boys in short-shorts!!! heh....anyway right before i had fallen asleep last night though i was thinking about yauch. and yauch's birthday coming up. and writing a poem for him. and painting his portrait. and giving it to him. and being at a concert.....all that thinking makes a pretty bizarre dream :S

eh sorry it's so long i just wanted some sort of documentation of this. weirdest dream ever!!! :o

'k i'm done.

that was a nice dream. i wish i had more like that that i can rememeber.


and i might as well post this as well ;)

But i can get down when the dope gives out
when in your mind, i'll always be around
