The Meat Beat Manifesto was great! This was definitely the best show i have seen this year!!! I don't really know where to start. Q-Burns Abstract Message was decent. He was actually pretty cool to watch because unlike alot of electronic musicians he tried to perform as much as he could live. He is definitely a child of the 80s because alot of his music had a cheesy 80s feel. I am guessing Mike Paradinas and DMX Krew might like this guy. At least he had some good beats and quickly mixed from song to song. There were quite a few tracks that weren't very good and his occasional vocals were rather annoying. I definitely would pay to see him live but as an opening artist, it was ok. Josh Wink was pretty blah. I didn't expect much from him anyway. I've always thought he was pretty mediocre. Meat Beat Manifesto was so so awesome. From beginning to end I danced the whole time. They did excellent version of all their songs and threw in a lot of surprises. There were several tracks that I had never heard. One of them was a pseudo-drum 'n' bass track with Eric B & Rakim samples. It was really cool. It was a top notch performance. I thought that Kraftwerk and Chain Reaction would remain the best "live"shows of the year for me, but MBM beat both of them. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
