some suspect song choices and narada's singing did do much for me but jb ran the whole gamut of his styles. his tone is fucking insane and he is playing as good if not better than he ever has.
REALLY not checking for this guy live anymore. I hope Kenny Parker comes with him to DJ and they put on a real show. If KRS is using local DJs on the tour, good luck with that.
I also thought it was crazy that he is taking a boat to Australia from New York? How do you even do that and how long does it take? If you are scared to fly, get on the flight take a couple vicodins and have a few drinks and sleep. Easy.
The boat will take a month to get to Australia (via Hawaii & New Zealand) - and then he will be riding on a tour bus around the country from state to state, including the massive 1727 miles across barren desert (the Nullabor Plain) between Adelaide and Perth.
Apparently the tour may take a couple of months, which I imagine will be quite the experience for KRS and his entourage, as much as it will be a logistical nightmare for the tour manager.
I'm not entirely certain of this, but it would make sense for him to stop in many rural areas along the way - Which would make for an amazing journey,
We're all pretty excited about it finally happening..
Beirut was pretty good
Hanging out for Hall and Oates in early Feb.
The Greyboy Allstars w/guest Fred Wesley
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
Why is he on your live show no-go list? I haven't seen him live in a long time; did he switch up his performance style or something?
It's been such a long time coming, I fear a little too long. Although I'm somewhat apprehensive, I'll be going. But I don't want to be hearing about the 9 elements all night.
I loathe to think what the tickets will cost with all the overheads.
When was the last time you saw him live? He was great when I saw him in the early 90s. Return Of The Boom Bap was his last good album and that was in 1993. Dude started to lose me when he went on college lecture tours and started the "Temple Of Hip-Hop." He needs to just focus on making good music. I attended a couple of his college lectures the first year he started doing them. He contradicted himself a number of times and made a lot of ridiculous arguments. He was here a few weeks ago and I did not go to any of the shows. I saw a video from one of the shows where it was KRS on stage and he was using a local DJ for the show. He told the kid to play real hip-hop for him to rap over. Then KRS kept yelling at the kid every time he started a song because he did not like the song selection. KRS wanted the DJ to only play super keep it real old school hip-hop breaks. Then the kid put on a BDP instrumental joint and KRS stopped again and told the DJ he was cheating by playing that. KRS was yelling at this kid over and over again on stage in front of a crowd. Where was Kenny Parker? Why the hell was he doing a show without his DJ that would play music he liked? I thought it was real corny to do that.
Did you see this article? http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/krs-one-australian-tour-2012/
The article had me laughing out loud. "KRS-One is a must see concert and a mandatory lecture for anyone really interested in the true essence of hip hop and how to successfully live the culture." I'm just interested in seeing good live music when I attend a show. I don't need anyone giving me a lecture on how to successfully live the culture. I might sound old, bitter, jaded, whatever but I hope he brings Kenny Parker and puts on some fantastic shows in Australia. I am sure he is still capable of it and he has plenty of classic records to perform. He just needs to get off that "Teacha" platform.
I haven't seen him since the '90s...Kenny Parker was still his DJ, and he was putting on a fantastic show. I guess that's not the deal anymore.
While I think that it's cool in theory that he'll use some local DJ for his show now, he should at least communicate with the guy beforehand as to what sort of beats he wants rather than just leaving it up to chance and bitching the dude out onstage.
I meant to make it up to the Hideout for the Numeros but the people I was with said the nay-no.
POLICA at Schuba's on the same night was killer though. I usually have a hard time watching bands that play with pre-recorded tracks but the dual drummer setup kept everything very interesting.
Any Strutteurs messin with POLICA?
He sounds fantastic, but then I've been a fan since I was a teenager. Also, it looks from that clip as if Tal Wilkenfeld is back in his band, is that right? I thought she was off doing her own thing.
The show was organized by the Black Rock Coalition Orchestra, who I wasn't up on, but who killed it over the course of two and half hours, with lots of great archival audio and video footage of Gil. Great show.
Seeing Roy Ayers on Thursday. Anyone seen him recently?
not tal wilkenfeld, some other lady bass player who wasn't too flashy...
Yeah, a couple of times in the last few years, always a great show imo. Both times have been in very small venue's which has added to the flavor.
Video from last years show.
That's Rhonda Smith, ex-Prince bassist. She's nice.
Pretty weak show.
Gza, Meth, Cappadonna, U-God, Deck, Rza and two no-names.
