Rock the Bells this weekend in NY and DC

[SP33Demon]

Anyone going? It's a wet dream for anyone who listened to Golden Era hip hop (1985-1994).

Review by LA Times of the San Fran show last Sunday:

Tickets are pricey ($66 lawn in DC) but they should be with that incredible lineup... going to see if I can go Sunday.

I went two years ago at Shoreline, Ghostface Killa yelled out "WHATS UP LA!" while SHITFACED, Q-Tip forgot his lyrics, and it was overall just really poorly done. Hopefully they've gotten their act together since then.

I wanted to go in years past, but when I finally do have a chance to go, they don't play IL.

Hip Hop had a "golden era?"

Rage killed it, the rest of the RTB lineup sucked balls when I went

WuTang + live setting = massive fail

Oh yeah, Street Sweeper is awesome. TM's best post Rage project for sure

Wu was amazing in 2006 when I went (Philly show on 8/19/06).

10 people on stage all talking at the same time + large outdoor setting = lots of unintelligible blabber echoing off the ground

I think I heard FLAVA FLAV a few times though.

Yeah I remember they were having mic problems in 06 but it was still awesome. Should be even better this year now that Rock the Bells is huge.
