Public Enemy on the outdoor theatre

| | Comments (0)

performed their entire "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" album and despite some small snafus with the live bass and drums (I wish they would have stuck to the original beat of "Black Steel In The Hour of Chaos" the performance was tremendous.

Flavor Flav stage dove three times and one guy ahead of me pointed out it was the first time he had ever seen anyone stage dive feet first but I didn't see any injuries.

One weird thing was during the instrumental parts of the songs Professor Griff would should "Obama Deception" over and over.

Chuck D seemed to support President Barack Obama, as he essentially asked what they thought of his winning, while he warned the crowd to think for themselves. 

Before the "Black Steel" song he asked people to remember "R and B" or former presidents Reagan and Bush, and how they wiretapped.

The group, after performing "Party For Your Right To Fight," went into "Welcome To The Terrordome" and "Fight The Power" which actually caused the set to go long.

I don't think people minded.
