BattleOfNY posted:DistantStorm posted:the Gorillaz just KILLED IT at the Garden in NYC; for two hours, the likes of Mos Def, De La Soul, a classical string quintet, traditional middle eastern musicians, fucking LOU REED, gospel singers and a high school horn section, all took turns joining Damon Albarn, with Mick Jones & Paul Simonon of THE CLASH, as they backed up a cartoon band. THAT'S what i call a friday night.
also there was a prerecorded video intro by Snoop Dogg. dressed as a pirate. straight up, muthafuckas.
Haha, fuck yeah dude. I was there too. Too bad Lou Reed sucked a huge bag of dicks. Everything else about that show was simply amazing. I loved 19-2000, Stylo, and Empire Ants. Definitely hope they come back around again.
eh, cut the guy some slack, he's gettin up there. plus, he seemed to be having some technical issues as well. other than that, yeah, easily one of the best shows i've ever seen; loved how enthusiatic the crowd was the whole time. screaming out the chorus of Clint Eastwood with another 10,000 fans was a fucking blast.
be glad you were there; i wouldn't count on them coming this way again anytime soon.
