An amazing show and setlist. Right up there with Glasgow '99. I am sure I will be re-watching this one for years to come.

Pass the Mic stole the show. So tight, so good. They were having so much fun with it.

Played this through my stereo system and the sound and mixing on this was amazing. Mario C did a great job.

Well said. It sounded fantastic! Great performance, I liked the edits to clean up some mistakes, Ill be watching and listening to this for years to come, just like Glasgow 99.

I am so happy I got up at 5:30 to see this, and I really enjoyed it all the way through.

Sabrosa and Ricky's Theme stood out to me in a way I have not seen it live before.

And the encore was just as it should be. "This is our last song, it is called Sabotage" got me a bit too much.

Fark thank you. Just watched it all.

Consider that the apex of TMR. No Nas studio vox in the mix, Mario C treatment. Sounded rugged as shit.

3 MCs and 1 DJ was a real highlight too. That’s one where the live show makes the lines funnier for me.

Jiberish · #12 09-25-2020, 07:52 AM

Amazing show. Glad I remembered to look for it. I think I missed the first few songs. PASS THE MIC was the showstopper for me as well.

Am I the only one, or is anybody else kind of annoyed they fixed Sabotage? I always appreciated that even they could fuck up. I think its really humanizing. But whatever. And it was still a high energy performance. But whatever, I suppose it was nice to hear it the way it's supposed to be.

The only other big edit I noticed was taking out Nas's pre-recorded voice from the monitors. Sounded WAAAAAAY better like this.

Mario did a bang up job.

I stayed up all night to watch it!

NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN!!!

Man, I’d been recently watching some 2007ish live footage, and something that stands out for this whole era (last few years of the band) is how fucking PUMPED Mike D gets on stage. I think maybe bringing hardcore songs back into their shows did it? He isn’t my favourite MC in the group but his energy at these shows is undeniable.

timmie · #15 09-25-2020, 11:36 AM

Nice to hear some of the reports, i shall be watching tonight

Did they ever take the Hardcore shows out of the show?

I agree he has crazy energy, and its infectious.

Ad-Rock and MCA have two of the most classic and recognizable MC voices of the genre. That said, Mike IS my fave MC of the band. He does the craziest stuff with his voice, has really funny/weird lines and is the most improved MC-player all around across their career.

He's super underused on the first album, but I think everytime they do use him it's incredibly effective.

For the most part I like the three of the evenly, but Mike just barely eeks by to be my number one in the band.

Although I love the set-list I just realized not one cut from TT5B or the Mix Up.

I think Ch-Check it out or Triple Trouble or a quick album cut like That's it That's all could have squeezed in and maybe a hazy performance of Off The Grid would have been nice too. They were also lacking from PB.
Hard to fit it all in though.

All 3 of them always balance out perfectly on the stage. I love when they improvise on their delivery and get goofy or silly. I have found that Mike D has consistently had crazy energy throughout the years. Always love when Ad-Rock loses it with some of the screams or freak outs on the delivery of his lines. MCA is the chill glue balancing it all out. The contrast of their styles is woven perfectly. So entertaining to watch.

pesto pizza · #18 09-25-2020, 02:44 PM

That was a very good show
No sleep til brooklyn
Too many rappers
Saborosa
Rickys theme
Were the highlights for me

TT5B tour, and of course before that they had a long hiatus where the rare few shows they did were pure hip-hop (there might have been exceptions, not sure). So between the end of the Hello Nasty tour and The Mix Up they weren't really doing songs like Time for Livin' or Heart Attack Man.

Of course Mike has always been great live, but in this set and other ones I've watched from the mid-late 2000s he's even stood out from MCA and Ad-Rock (who are both still great, of course). Just going nuts, getting the crowd hyped between songs, taking a break from vocals to play percussion on the same song. He seems more confident and energetic than ever.

And yeah it is pretty weird that there's no TT5B or Mix Up stuff at all in this set. I wonder if it had something to do with the remasters coming out in 2009.

I believe you!

I saw them on the TT5B tour, and sadly that was the last time I saw them

I chose to not go to the TMU tour because I erroneously believed I would have many more bboy tours to catch them on. I could only afford one show that summer, and my buddies convinced me to see Kanye. It was the WORST concert I have ever been to. Though Lupe and Common were tight. I'm actually just starting to dip back into Kanye, all these years later to see what he's been up to.

anyways, tangent aside. If you told me they played hardcore at TT5B I would believe you as well. My memory is shit for little things like that.
