Gala Events

[Brilmstone]

So I am curious......

Are the Gala Events ALL instrumental meaning no vocals... or are the Boys PLAYING instruments the whole show and still "singing".......?

Inquiring minds want to know!

this question has been asked so many times, i think it should be a frequent post topic.
also, those asking about "dressing to impress" happens a lot. :D

what really needs to be translated is that an "exclusive instrumental show" will be the band exclusively on their instruments.... the instruments make the music and the band sings and raps and dances around....

the regular shows will feature more of Mix Master Mike and will feature more of the classic songs with scratching and sampling...

the instrumental shows, however, WILL feature songs with lyrics, but they will be new arrangements of older hits, such as "Remote Control", "Do It", "Jimmy James" and "Live at PJs"

Gala Events are intended for the fans who appreciate the Beastie Boys' entire catalogue of work (hip-hop/rap, hardcore, rock, instrumentals). The Gala Events showcase the Beastie Boys new songs from "The Mix-Up," an all-instrumental (i.e., no vocals) album; however, the show is NOT strictly instrumental. When Beastie Boys say "instrumental show," they mean a show in which the songs are performed with instruments, not turntables. They do sing at the instrumental shows!

some singing, a (very) little rapping, but mostly just instrumentals. at least that was how it was at the boston one.
