uhm, much of what sideshow said i guess. dogshow coulda stayed in the kennel. rapdude nextact guy from brooklyn had a coulpea good political songs, but once he beckoned me to do whatever with my hands/arms, i tuned out.

their beginning was cute: dj doing a "rocky" move, complete w/ theme music, running up whatever steps from the flick...then adrock as mickey the manager "try harder, run faster...you piece of shit!! now go get me a snowcone!!!" oh, & dj came out @ beginning of b-boy set thru the crowd to aforementioned rocky theme...very amusing.

b-boys highlight was clearly the part where they played real instruments...i got to dance & enjoy that fully, which was all that mattered to me. except, just like at many dead/phil shows...they finish that bit & this dude asks me "couldja sit down? my date can't see." oy fucking vey.

but the set was painfully short, much less than expected, songwise...i did dig the old stuff & *nyc song* from the new album, but my crowd was a mix...& since i chose "club box" seats, (floor was not available) mostly was surrounded by family types...including a 40-some couple w/ their 4 kids...mom & daughter in semi-matching schoolgirl get-ups: mighta been hot except the girl was about 11 & seeing her panties flapping around seemed pretty inappropriate. (wasted mom to kids b4 show: leave me alone! mommy's having cocktails!)

well, now i can say i saw 'em.

dude, thats just common courtesy, if the folks behind you aren't dancing keep your butt in the seat...the rules are different at jamband shows

Hey if they REALLY want you to sit down all they hafta do is throw a beer at yer head!!!!!

yeah matthew dude, you & my mom at rod stewart agree. otherwise, i earnestly say "fuck them." and, as i also mentioned, i have heard the same at "jamband" shows. and at least i wasn't chain smoking on them.

well i am sure they were saying "fuck you" a lot behind your back...again, if dancing is not the general rule it is just plain disrespect

If you're talking a theatre show and some acoustic/quiet act then yeah sit down.

But who the fuck sits at a Beastie Boys concert?

Nice review, Jill.

shiiit, Matt...all she was tryin to do was say somethin about a concert...whyd ya harsh on the girl?
