Re: Rock the Bells - Rage/Wu Tang in NYC
[censored] tired right now but will post a few bullet points-
- EVERYONE is there to see Rage. like, 85% Rage fans, 15% hip-hop fans.
- Rage, despite being noticeably rusty in a few spots, are [censored] awesome, and picked a great set list.
- the sound is [censored] horrible. harsh/painful. too much of all the wrong frequencies. Rage's mix was inconsistent and Tom Morello was frequently drowned out by the bass + vocals.
- Wu-Tang good. Cypress Hill good. The Roots *very* good. Public Enemy was meh and Flavor Flav should probably not be let out of the house w/o a chaperone.
- from manhattan....just walk over the freakin Triboro. it's like a 15-20 minute walk from 125th + Lexington.
Rage setlist for anyone interested (may be a little out of order...just going from memory here):
Testify
Bulls on Parade
People of the Sun
Know Your Enemy
Vietnow
Bullet in the Head
Down Rodeo
Guerilla Radio
Tire Me
Calm like a Bomb
Sleep Now in the Fire
Wake Up
encore:
Freedom
Killing in the Name
