Who here likes live music???
So , I went and saw Lil Jon do a set last night at this new club that just open and I must say, I was completely disappointed :(
For the record, I love live music and I'm pretty selective with who I go see and when I go see them. And last night was no exception. Now I'm not going to act like I enjoy any music that Lil Jon has put out in recent years, but I know there was a time in middle school where "getting crunk" was definitely the thing to do.
So I went into this concert expecting to hear timeless classics like "Bia Bia", "Put Yo Hood Up", "Throw it Up" and "I don't give a Fuck" just to name a few. NONE of those were played. This dude literally sat up there and did a DJ set for 2 hours with very little stage performance except the occasional "YEAH!", "WHAT" and "OK". To say the least, I wasn't fufilled. Thank God I was given free tickets to this place and wasn't willing to spend the $25-$30 it took to get in that night. Btw, this was this clubs grand opening and will be the last time I go there.
Now on to something more positive, Outkast is coming here to Voodoo Fest in October and I want to cross this off the bucketlist. Foo Fighters will also be there and they may be fun to see. But this is a concert I'm almost willing to pay for, thank God I have friends with connections because how it looks right now I'll also be getting free passes for this event as well.
All in all, who here enjoys concerts, festivals or just live music in general. Whether it's at the local pub down the street or some dope show put on at an arena somewhere? And where/when/who was the last time you went? I'm interested because I love the atmosphere of live music especially when the music is good.
Top 3 shows for me are (btw, list can change at any time):
- 3. Wu-Tang Clan (RZA gave my boy the mic and let him rap all of ODB's first verse to "Shimmy Shimmy Ya"
- 2. Weezer (first live show they played this year to kick off their tour and debut new music off new album)
- 1. Jay-Z/Kanye West WTT (bros... Can't even begin to describe to you what this was like. Plus it ended on Jay's bday. EPIC)
