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.

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.
