Being that most groups only had one or two albums - there was often a need for many groups to be packaged together to fill out a concert's worth of material.

So when I read that Slick Rick, The Wu, BDP, and others were touring and performing their classic albums - I knew that this was the one concert I'd have to attend this year.
But after looking up the sites of the shows (Two on the West Coast; L.A. & San Fran., and two on the East Coast: New York and D.C.), I began to rue the day I ever left the media rich suburbs of Los Angeles.

Damned small towns...
Yep, sounds like a good show. I wonder if there are any women on the show? I'd love to see MC Lyte.
ReplyDeleteBest show I ever saw was in a makeshift stage in SLC... Talib Queli, Common, Roots, and Erykah Badu.
ReplyDeleteMan I loved that show.
Speaking of big name musical acts coming to small cities or towns,Pittsburgh does not get a lot of big name acts to speak of,so I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteLook at brohammas going "Street Cred" with those groups instead of the more commercial Weezy or Hova.
ReplyDelete@ Val - You're far too young to know about Lyte.
@ Big - Really? Do they all do Philly instead?
Yup John Pittsburgh is not a market a lot of acts stop often.
ReplyDeleteEven Morgantown,WV. home of the states flagship school gets more play,which is about 80 miles south of here.
