Re: Full Clout
I wonder if there are any photos of this on the internet.
Its nice to know RUN DMC and the BEASTIES were still friends in 88, after the def jam bust up. I thought maybe russell had made run pick a side. |

Re: Full Clout
damn i was at the show the night before in the oakland coliseum. no beasties in oakland. this was a long time ago and i was only 15, but i remember how great this show was top to bottom. epmd opened, i had not heard them but i went out and got their cassette the next day, strickly business is still one of the best hip hop debuts ever. i think PE came on next...i think. i had YO and this was before Nation, just remember screaming yeeaaaa boooooy with my friend after cause that's all flavor did, PE always and forever top 5 hip hop group. jazzy jeff/fresh prince next...i think. i might have PE and them mixed up but it would make sense jazzy/prince went next since Parents was all over at this time. great live show, great scratches and mr. smith was always charismatic, not really my thing though. RUN DMC to close...so awesome, them in their prime IMO. 4 albums worth of straight classics to play from. i knew every word to every song. setlist below...can't believe i got to see this live. straight bangers start to stop.

Re: Full Clout
Yeah I was at this show too. I was also at the Sac and Tahoe shows (I was a PE fanatic).
Had no idea about the boys being at the LA show, or about this live version of what would eventually become Shake Your Rump. This is a rarely heard version for sure. It's things like this that kind of fill in the little timeline in my mind of their career. 1988 is still kind of mysterious, I just imagine them being in the studio the whole time basically. Quote:

This is a key insight... "In fact, the structure of rap shows--short sets by several acts, rather than the practice of longer stints by two bands on arena rock shows--gives the evening a naturally competitive flair. Watching the parade of talent, it’s hard not to rate one against another. Because the acts rely on recorded music (mixed live by a disc jockey) rather than live musicians, the changeover time between acts is far less than at a rock show". |

Re: Full Clout
Just an opinion. I went to those types of shows as a teen.

Re: Full Clout

Re: Full Clout
Not from me man. I just liked seeing a bunch of people perform together around '85 to '87. As I continued to spend money on tickets I started to gravitate toward shows that featured individual artists with longer sets. I am not claiming to be an expert. For me it was a kind of like following my passion for what I liked. I liked Greg Maddux, and followed him. I loved the Beasties and followed them, and when the it came time to decide how to spend my money on what I liked, I did. The only real point is that we started breaking away from short sets from 8 performers as a place to spend our money to view music live, and embraced headliners with new shows. That's what I thought was the critical insight of the author.
