Re: Ft Lauderdale show
Really good show tonight! The crowd was hyped and gave off great energy to the Boys, and the Boys responded. The Beastie's took the stage around 9:20, and kicked things off with Root Down. Highlights for me were: High Plains Drifter, Somethings Got to Give and Intergalactic. Before they jumped in to High Plains they dedicated it to "all the people who came from far away" by either plane, bus, train etc...It went down really well. Somethings Got to Give just sounded great cuz the Yauch's basslines were enormous. The bass wasn't loud enough during Sabrosa and Ricky's Theme while he was on the upright. The crowd loved Paul Revere (just like every other town)! And Intergalactic was rockin' and almost brought the place down. They ended up in the middle level, and MMM had started Intergalactic, but had to stop and start it again, cuz the Beastie's hadn't arrived at their spot yet. So the Beastie's started singing and the people right below the Boys didn't even know they were there til Yauch started tapping people on the head to get them to turn around. But it was HUGE! And of course quite a few people left after Intergalactic and missed Gratitude and Sabotage. All in all it was a great night, better energy from the crowd than what I experienced at the Atlanta show a few days earlier. Maybe cuz the Boys haven't been here really since 94 Lollapalooza the crowd went nuts. The gig at Crobar doesn't count, I'm talking a full arena size gig.

1. Root Down
2. Triple Trouble
3. Sure Shot
4. Egg man
5. Skills to Pay the Bills
6. Time to Get Ill
7. Super Disco Breakin'

10. MMM Solo
11. Sabrosa
12. Ricky's Theme
13. Something's Got to Give
14. AOLTNYC
15. Body Movin'
16. Paul Revere
17. RRNN
