Blow-by-Blow Recap, Terminal 5 (Mar. 4)...

[Mr. Juice]

Moby was billed as the host of last night’s Institute for Music and Neurologic Function benefit concert. I didn’t know what that exactly entailed—was he going to perform? Spin some records? Or just introduce the Beastie Boys? If you chose option number three, you’re correct. You’d also be right if you chose option number one (kind of).

Moby gave a brief summary on the work of IMNF—basically, when brain functions decrease or one goes through certain life-altering tragedies, one surefire way to get the brain feeling optimistic again is through the power and therapy of music. Moby then introduced someone who benefited from the institute’s work, a young man named Jeremy, who had lost both of his hands in an arson fire. With Moby on guitar, and another friend on keyboard, the three performed a cover of “I Can See Clearly Now.”

Moby thanked Jeremy and said the Beastie Boys would be on in 10 minutes—he was thirty minutes off.

When it was finally time for the Beastie Boys’ set, Mixmaster Mike arrived on stage first and warmed the crowd up with a little cuttin’-and’-stracthin’. His casual wear suggested that the Beastie Boys were not enforcing a strict pageant dress code. Soon after his intro, Mike D, MCA, and Adrock appeared on stage kicking into the opening chorus of “Root Down.” Though pageant-wear was optional, Mike D decided to wear a powder blue, 1950’s double-breasted sweater, while Adrock was decked out in a khaki green collared-shirt and gentleman’s dress-cap. MCA went more casual with an un-tucked red polo shirt.

The Beastie Boys followed with “Flute Loop” and “Sure Shot”. MCA then dedicated “Shake Your Rump” to a guy who had Paul’s Boutique stuck in his stereo for an entire road trip. Mike D interrupted, “Was it a tape or a CD stuck in the stereo?”

Following “Shake Your Rump”, the Beastie Boys headed for their instruments and began playing “Time For Livin’”. This is where the show hit the first snag of the night—something went wrong with Adrock’s guitar set-up. Good thing this was just a “tune-up” show for the Langerado Festival this weekend (stop a festival show for ten minutes and a riot could break out). Mike D tried to smooth out the situation by claiming, “Hey, we had to travel a long way tonight. We were downtown and we came all the way uptown.”

After brining out another amplifier and a new batch of cords, Money Mark and a guitar tech deduced that Adrock’s sunburst guitar had puttered out. Adrock brought out his backup ax and the game was back on. The Beasties launched into “Remote Control” and then slowed things up with “Ricky’s Theme.” Before the song Adrock asked the crowd, “How much were tickets tonight? $75? Hey—it’s live entertainment.”

Later in the set, per request by Moby, the Beastie Boys performed “Egg Raid on Mojo.” The Beastie Boys didn’t stray from their comfort tracks last night (“Root Down”, “Sure Shot”, “Shake Your Rump”, “Pass the Mic”, “Body Movin’”, “Three MCs and One DJ”), but they did throw in a couple of treats: Money Mark appropriately taking lead on “Mark on the Bus” and a MMM beat-treated version of “Rhymin’ and Stealin’”.

The funniest moment of the night came during the “fresh” stop-down in “Ch-Check it Out”, when a homemade poster of Mike D was passed to the front of the stage. The sign read: "Watch the Finger." It also featured a nude drawing of Mike D (ala Michelangelo’s painting on the Sistine Chapel ceiling), with a bagel covering up his nether regions. MCA and Adrock told Mike to explain himself. Mike collected his thoughts for a moment and said, “New York’s a very fashionable town. When I’m not performing, I got a family to feed. So sometimes to get a little extra cash, I pose for artwork like this.” After a lengthy stop down (which has developed into a new tradition during “Ch-Check it Out), the Beasties kicked back into the song and finished strong. A stagehand took the poster off of the stage as MCA instructed, “Keep that one for the files. I’m going to hang it up with all the other naked pictures I have of Mike.”

“What?!” questioned Mike D.

MCA replied, “Yo, just go to imdb to see all of Mike's work.”

The Beasties closed their set with a strong rendition of “So What’cha Want””—probably their tightest song of the night.

The Beasties encored with “Intergalactic”, “Heart Attack Man”, and “Sabotage.” The highlight of the encore was Money Mark randomly finding his way to the front of the stage and frantically leaping throughout the duration of “Heart Attack Man” (he still got mad hops).

Thats so cool.

[b-grrrlie]

Now, admins... Look! (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/2312228025_695961c785_o.jpg) this is just so fun to read...





Guess I better copy all to Word instead, when you can't get this board to work properly... :mad:

[djdjdj]

Oh yeah, that happened to me one time.

[adrock1988]

The sound quality was a major disappointment, that has to be mentioned. I didnt understand why, maybe the audio but the crowd never really got into the show. That was show #30 for me and the first time since #1 that I heard Rhymin' and Stealin'. To me that one song made the night.

Anybody who saw Adrock holding that book before Sabotage and were wondering what the hell I threw on stage this time, it was a Scrabble Dictionary.

[IzzyNYC]

Fun, fun, fun!! Yes, sound was a bummer but lucky for me I still had the lyrics supplied by Pooty standing on my left and Pshabi on my right.

A few fav take-aways.... Yauch and AH pushing each other around and laughing their asses off when they took the stage.... AH playing is Corona bottle during Mark on the Bus.... Yauch's face when he saw Pooty... of course, meeting the awesome peeps from the board.

OK, in a rush - time to head out for tonight's MMM gig(y)

Not at all.
The place was absolutely packed to the rafters with hotties.

That vid was great. Thanks!

Another of my favorite moments was at the beginning Ch Check It Out (12:20). Yauch slows down at the "No, I didn't retire... I'll snatch you up with the motherfuckin pliars and shit." You can kind of hear it. I loved it.

[Mr. Juice]

Nice video recap!

[Documad]

I'm super jealous about rhymin and stealin but happy that Laver got his wish!

I'm really sorry about the bad sound. Is there any word on whether the sound was bad for everyone in the place, or just for you fans down front?

After the show, I talked with some guy who was further down the rail and he said the sound was good. But I don't think anyone from the back or top two rafters has checked in...

[ampm]

Sound was terrible. Show was worse.

[WANIMOON]

I loved the show. Sound was horrible and it was really hard getting a good view of the stage (even from the 2nd level).
I have to say though, I was really disapppointed they didn't play more from Licensed to Ill.

awwwww not this year?!?!?!


Crap :mad:

[mkvl3]

Great video...this would be absolutely perfect if it included Rhymin and Stealin.

(y)

I actually had recorded a bit of every song they played (including ALL of Rhymin And Stealin) but, alas, upon my return home I found about 30% of my files were corrupted. I lost a lot of photos as well. Time to buy a new memory card.

At least the majority of it was saved. I'm still extremely dissappointed though.

Haha I was wondering if anyone was going to address that. What a weird scene corner of 56th and 11th, these dudes had a huge tank of nitrous and were selling 3 balloons for $20. Police van cruised right by it.

3 for $20? When I walked by it was $5 each. I couldn't believe how many people were buying 'em. They had to make a G-note on that shit.

You guys where exactly where I was! Left side represent!
Its funny but just about every video and photo I have seen since Tuesday has been like an exact replica of my memory. How nice for me.:rolleyes:
Sick show. Definitely will tide me over till the newness drops in '09 (and maybe TMU vol 2 this year?).
Rhyming and goddamm stealing. sick. and just as I asked for, shake you rump was was its usually level of awesomeness.
:D

sorry I missed this, but sheeeeeeet, smoking and drinking on a Tuesday night!?! Its been a while.
:rolleyes:

[IzzyNYC]

Sorry to be the slow kid again but not if I bloked my (lousy) video earlier:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ipQimwXE6U

[mathcart]

Great video...this would be absolutely perfect if it included Rhymin and Stealin.

(y)

So I recorded only one little video capture on my camera phone during the show. I just looked at it tonight and realized it was in fact Rhymin' & Stealin'. Now before anyone gets a little too excited a few warnings:

a) I was jumping around like a maniac so the video is damn near unwatchable (look away if you must)
b) The sound quality is sketchy at best due to it being recorded on an old camera phone and the acoustics not being great.
c) I was a little drunk

anyone still interested here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrOTGFb7Gvc) it is. Sorry in advance. I wouldn't of even bothered with figuring out how to post something on youtube if anyone else had posted this yet. Enjoy.
:D

[Pootytang]

I'll post my pics tomorrow. I'm just getting home and I'm tired as fuck. Just how tired is fuck you may ask? It's is tired right about now.
