LA WEEKLY PRESENTS: LA 101

2 OF THE GREATEST GROUPS ON 1 STAGE, MASSIVE ATTACK AND THIEVERY CORPORATION. THIS SHOW WAS STRICKLY BUSINESS, THIEVERY CORPORATION WASTED NO TYME AT ALL GETTING THE VIBES AND BASS GOING WITH "LEBANESE BLOND" BEING THIER FIRST TRACK OF THE SHOW. NOTHING BEATS HEARING ALL THE LIVE INSTRUMENTS, SINGERS AND MC'S (THEY HYPED UP THE CROWD MANY TYMES DURING THE SONGS), THIEVERY CORP SET THE BAR & THEIR PERCUSSIONISTS SOLO WAS DOPE!, EVERY TRACK WAS A NONSTOP CLASSIC.

THEN CAME MASSIVE ATTACK!!!, THEY SLIGHTLY REMIXED ALOT OF THEIR SONGS, EYE KNOW THIS BECAUSE EYE HAD SEEN THEM IN MAY, MARTINA TOPLEY BIRD, HORACE ANDY AND SHARA NELSON WERE ALL THERE. MASSIVE'S SET AT TYMES JUST TOOK YOU ON A TRIP, THE ENTIRE SHOW WAS AMAZING (WHO KNOW'S WHEN WE WILL SEE ANOTHER NIGHT LIKE THIS EVER!).

TO THIS DAY "UNFINISHED SYMPATHY" IS MY FAVORITE SONG LIVE, YOU CAN'T BEAT SHARA NELSON'S VOICE.
