Works lovely if you’ve got the CBS app loaded and a VPN set to US.

Great show.

Fuck yeah.

Thanks for thinking of me! I had to send the link to my wife as I don't have FB! We bought tickets for that as soon as they were released, really excited about this one. It is such a monumentally good album.

Missed this, absolutely brilliant!!

Nice one - report back. Hopefully should be ace. 😀

Will do, got ultra magnetic MC's and Rakim as well to look forward to.

Not hip hop but from memory one of your favourites, Sasha (with John digweed and nick warren). That is a 4am finish 😲 playing in April. Sold out already but we have tickets

Cheers mate. I also have Ultramagetic tickets for Leeds and Rakim for London so let me know if you're going to either?

Remember you mentioning the Sasha / Digweed thing. Interested in what you think as I have no idea if I'd enjoy nowadays.

All of my shows are in Bristol but will let you know how they go.

Cypress Hill have just announced a tour with Souls of Mischief and The Pharcyde - and they're in New York at the same time we are. Going to try for tickets later on. Hopefully it'll make up for the awful sound at the O2 when I saw them with Ice Cube recently...

The Run DMC show was good but the amount of archive footage was disappointing and inversely proportional to the number of talking heads.

There’s a new JB documentary out this week, hoping it won’t go the same way.

Wasn't aware of JSWISS before. Thanks for the intro, really enjoying his style.

Nice!!

Going to see GZA performing Liquid Swords tomorrow, cannot wait!

I'll report back here

GZA Was great last night and Wishmaster before him did a good set. Only disappointing thing was that they didn't get the soundsystem sounding great. I have been to Motion a few times and the sound has always been great.

Ultramagnetic MCs in two weeks time

Timings for tomorrow night, I feel like someone is talking the piss

Doors 19.30
Warmup Act 20.00
Interval 20.30
Ultramagnetic MCs 21.00
End 22.00

This pretty much sums it up. On the plus side the sound was insanely good in the Beacon Hall. I agree with the comments about the DJ who was on stage with them, he was incredible.

Hmm. Sounds like the Leeds show I went to was slightly better but it was also pretty lackluster all round. Shame.
