Here is a show my friend Tom Chaffin captured back in 2002. Hip-Hop acts are hit or miss for allowing recording in my experience. But Tom rolled up on this show and asked if he could record and they gave him a soundboard patch. Amazing. Chuck states at the beginning "we are recording a live album tonight" which is why this go sat on at the time. 18 years later I'm guessing that is going to happen so here you go. Time to let it out into the wild.
This show illustrates what has been an ongoing theme with Public Enemy since the start. Flavor Flav troubles. Chuck announces early that Flav isn't there because he has been arrested in NYC. So the recent dust up between Flav and Chuck over playing a Bernie Sanders rally is nothing new.
Not that you really miss Flav not being there in person. The DJ samples all the main Flav lines live which I image has always been the case.
This show had PE backed by not only DJ Lord but live drums, guitar, and bass. They are a bit low in the mix but it does add a lot to the over all impact. Live hip-hop with just a DJ can seem a little sterile sometimes.
Big thanks to Tom for letting me share this. Enjoy.
