Ah more concerts...

So as many of you might have already heard or known; Ravi, Jeremy, Bretton and myself went up to New York to see a whole bunch of things happen before Rage Against the Machine performs. Then watch Rage Against the Machine perform. If i came off too facetious i apologize, it was a good concert. Overall i would rate it as the best concert I have been too barring the Tool-tones concert. It was an amazing dreamteam line up. Sage Francis, EPMD (who i kept calling EMPD), Mos Def with Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Cage, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, Wu-tang Clan and ofcourseRATM. there were others but i dont wanna list em all. The drive to the concert was interesting as i realised Jeremy cannot drive...and the fact that half way there in Jersey, we hit one of the most vicious lightning storms i have ever seen. I proposed killing Jeremy as a sacrifice to Zeus so that he would stop punishing us. It fell on def years, no pun intended, actually it was. Newho, We finally got there around 11ish maybe later i dont really remember. We were staying at one of Jeremy's friends place in Long Island which was a very nice place, and the hosts were very gracious. That was also the night we coined the term homo-erotically homophobic for Bretton's mannerisms , thanks to Ravi. So we woke up took the Long Island train, which was amazing and yet cheap. Got to Randall's Island and went inside the park/arena where the festival was being held. There were 2 stages one for all the small undergroud acts. This stage was labeled the "paid dues" stage (figure it out), and the other stage was the main stage. Everytime anyone would venture from the small stage to the big stage, the artists from the small stage would chastise them by yelling "WHERE YOU GOIN?!?! THE BEST ARE HERE MOTHA FUCKAS!!!" but that would rarely work. So the first few acts we witnessed were on the small stage since we really had no interest in the big stage initially. Blueprint was the first one and Bretton really liked him, i was indiffrent, although his "Big girls need love too" really spoke to me. All in all we werent really interested in any of the acts in both the stages...Supernatural, Jedi Mind Tricks, Hanger 18. were all lost on us, Immortal technique was the first artist I was actually interested in seeing, and his show was decent. After this was Pharoahe Monch, his set was great, actually enjoyed it and got into the rest of the concert after that. after him was EPMD. I wasnt interested but Bretton was, and Ravi, Jeremy and I high-tailed it to the small stage to see Lif, and Cage, but since the acts on the small stage were ahead of schedule, I didnt witness any of Mr. Lif, cause i was busy purchasing a 6 dollar thing of lemonade. Ravi and Jeremy only witnessed one song. Cage was great, their stage presence was amazing, falling short of only RATM. The first and only artist to stage dive, till Method Man later in the show. the only thing I had against the set was Moshing...wel shall get to this later. But for right now this is enough...next time we will get to the rest of the concert minus Rage, they will have their own review.

Adios
