Saw the Denver show... during the show I did enjoy it, but wasn't totally feeling it. Really it just made me remember, know and re-realize how great Beastie Boys are live.

Here is a link to the Boulder show (http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=556123) which has much better audio then anything I've found on-line from the Denver show. This show is not all Beasties (the Denver show was), it has some classic Karl Denson songs mixed in as well. I see this as an added bonus, if you don't already know how good Karl D. is!

After re-listening to the live audio, I think KDTU and the emcees from SS did a noice job and way, way better then most groups could.

Highlights - the fact that these guys can nail and jazz up cut's like B For My Name, POW and Off The Grid.

Lowlights - No one rhymes or has the energy of Beastie Boys.

Personal note: I took my 5 year old daughter, I figured at this point it was the next best thing, since she wasn't able to ever see the boys live :(
She loved it!

A local group called MTHDS does a Beastie tribute set and they do MSN... I would like to see KDTU/SS add that one to their set, it would just be extra cool since the Beastie never preformed it live. Something from PB and TT5B would also fill out the set.

P.S. The Mike Master Mike MCA tribute set that was supposed to come to Denver next Friday got cancelled :(

Cool. Thanks. I like Slightly Stoopid and Karl Denson is pretty dope as well. SS have a new album coming out in August.

No body can do it like Beasties can!

Wish I was able to go to this. I really like Karl. I like the instrumental tributes a lot more than the vocal but SS did pretty good.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I've checked a couple of youtube vids of Denson's Bboy Tributes (which he was apparently doing before MCA passed) since Scooby posted this. You can't duplicate the bboys, but these guys did a nice job with their tribute.

More Denson shows coming up and they are tributing the Beasties again... They are coming to Texas, but Austin isn't that close to me..... I like that they are now using a Beastie logo for their shows. (y)

respect.

I don't come here often but figured I'd stop in to give a heads up to fellow heads in the metropolitan area. Tickets went on sale this morning for the best buy theater shows. Just bought a pair... who's coming?
