also whether it was microphone volume issue or not: method man did inspectah decks verse on Triumph.

I repeat to all wu-tang fans: METHOD MAN DID INSPECTAH DECKS VERSE ON TRIUMPH... that was BULLSHIT, INS was there he could have fucking done it himself.

Also theyre douchebag photographers were blocking the view of the group by standing on stage directly infront of them.

BUT: Method Man, Ghostface, Cappadonna, Raekwon and Inspectah Deck fucking KILLED IT, they performed very fucking well.

Especially Cappadonna, i would definitely catch him any chance I got.

My buddy Alex went to the Baltimore show, and I would have really liked to have gone. He said they were amazing, but a half hour or so late, and no RZA. The sound and lighting problems were probably due to the venue I'd hope.

Maybe if there were some dope free styling and a live band(ala the roots), it would be worth paying for, but trying to replicate studio tracks on a stage with a dj, and half of the crew is ridiculous...

How many times did each member pimp his latest project, because I know that was worth the money and time right?

Rap live is incredible when done right. When the sound quality is actually on and you've got a worthwhile MC it's uncomparable. But when it's bad, it's bad. The hypemen on stage shouting out your lines thing suck, which is what ruined the Brother Ali/Ghost/Rakim show for me besides Rakim not showing up. Brother Ali killed it as always by himself, then out came Ghost and like 7 other dudes all shouting his lines over the already terrible sound. My friend Cubbie (MySpace.com - Cubbie @ Rams Head Live Feb 2nd - baltimore - Indie - www.myspace.com/asapcontra) also has a wireless mic and jumps around in the crowd and goes crazy on stage, as I said, all depends on the MC.

the show that i got, while i got it, was great (aside from the mic problems)

wu-tang doesnt just replicate their studio tracks they switch the beats and make medleys of certain songs, thats what a lot of people do.
It was blasphemy when meth did INS verse on triumph though.

Also they only mentioned Big Doe Rehab, Cuban Linx 2 and 8 Diagrams.

edit; i wanna restress that the worst part was the camera guys blocking our view after like 45 minutes

What'd they say about CL2?!
