So What'cha Want
I'm very sorry that I drained my camera battery and can't upload all the photos and video I took at the concert until the battery recharges. Check back tomorrow.
We're too tired to put together a proper review. I can tell you now that my friend and blog partner Midzi enjoyed her first Beastie Boys show very much despite being extremely tired. When it was over, she told me that it went by so quickly that she felt the entire show lasted only five minutes.
The setlist construction was outstanding. The show had a really good flow. I've heard the band play more tightly than they did tonight, but the positive feel/attitude and the song flow made the show superior to many of the shows I've seen.
The Spanish audience was super cool. Everyone was completely chill -- and it was due to the music, not alcohol and drugs. "So What'cha Want" was an instrumental (with rapping). It was very unusual. I like that they are experimenting.
Michael Diamond. What a cut-up! He wore a captain's outfit and talked about yachting all evening. One of the best moments of the show happened when Mike snuck up behind Yauch and gave him a hug. Yauch didn't expect it and jumped a foot.
Adam Yauch. I don't believe I've ever seen him dance on stage before. Wow.
Adam Horovitz. Sweetie has a cold, but we wouldn't have known if someone hadn't told us. When his guitar became inoperative, he danced his part instead of playing a musical instrument. (I have video of this!)
More details tomorrow. Must sleep now.

MY YAUCH DANCED ON STAGE?!! *dies*
awwwww mikey hugged yauchykins! <3
and awwwww some more, poor baby adam. i hope he feels better. :(
lookin' foward very much to details and photos and video and everything, and glad you two had an amazing time!
i like that setlist. What was 3MCs and 1 DJ like, regular or something new? Cant wait to hear more from you.
I am very intriguied by so watcha want instrumental. I can't wait to hear it. Interesting that Sabotage is not apart of the show, its been a while since that was the case. And on a personal note I am super psyched that Son of Neckbone is becoming a staple of these shows- I can't hear that enough. Thanks for the update.

Captain's outfit! I like that idea.
I like how you started the last three paragraphs with: Michael Diamond., Adam Yauch., Adam Horovitz.
sounds like they're having a blast. lets hope they're not tired or lost their emphasis by the time of the US shows.
BTW, how is Yauch's dancing? im strangely intrigued by this.
it was an excellent concert, good fun! Looking forward to tonight's!
