Beastie Boys Live @ Red Rocks

On August 16th, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the Beastie Boys perform live at Red Rocks.

This was the third time I've seen them (once on the Licensed To Ill tour and again on the Hello Nasty tour) and by far the best show. Touring to promote their all-instrumental album, The Mix-Up, the show was a great balance of rap, punk and instrumental songs from throughout their musical history. I think Mike D probably wins the prize for "Most Fun to Watch", but MCA and Ad-Rock were both on point. Mix Master Mike, Money Mark and Eric Bobo were all on hand to round out the touring band, so it was a real all-star affair.
