Beastie Boy Mike D Will Visit MSG Tonight: "For MCA It Was A Huge Deal To Play Here"

[M|X|Y]

As Madison Square Garden (http://gothamist.com/tags/madisonsquaregarden) continues to undergo renovations, Barclays Center (http://gothamist.com/tags/barclayscenter) has been dominating the spotlight in Brooklyn. But recently one of Brooklyn's own, the Beastie Boys’ Mike D, stopped by The Garden to check out the transformation and visit with the workers.

His visit aired on the MSG Network's “The Garden Transformed: Year 2,” a five-part series that is documenting the top-to-bottom transformation. During his time back inside the arena, he reflected on the band's first show there, saying, “First time we played here it was opening for Madonna. We never dreamed that we’d get to walk in the employee entrance and The Garden. Then, of course, once we got on stage, we got booed a lot.” ....

thanks for the link, I will be watching the game tonight...

I was wondering if either of them were at the Garden for Jeremy Lin's return Monday Night.

Tracy Morgan took over the Knicks twitter account. I think Adrock's a good candidate for something like that.

nice quote by Mike D

“For MCA it was a huge deal to play here and to be in this building, and every time we’d tour, one of his only questions was ‘do we get to play The Garden?.’ That was obviously something very hard to go through, losing a great person and a close friend, but the love that New York showed as a whole, people on all kinds of levels opening up and doing incredible tributes. That would have meant a lot to him.”
