Saw them a couple of days ago. It was in a small venue so you could get up close to actually see the show, which was nice. Whole Clan + StreetLife were there. Rapping-wise it was okay but they put on a great, very hyped show.
Things of interest...
The audience:
* People were hating on the local support act before he even started rhyming. I didn't know him or even particularly like him but I was pretty much the only one clapping after each song. Yes, we all came to see the Wu but the guy performing has nothing to do with them being on stage or not, show some fucking respect and don't scream "WE WANT WU" during his set. Obviously he noticed the totally silent crowd but still finished his set, afterwards talked shit to the audience, told them to hold up items and he did a freestyle using the items people gave him. Pretty much had the crowd eating out of his hand, everyone clapped and cheered, then he walked off stage. :thumb: to that guy.
* It's The Netherlands, yet there were people complaining about West Coast music being played in between sets and yelling "New York!". O....kay
* Groupieness. The chance of touching Meth's shoe is a valid reason for murder
* The usual "I'm the biggest Wu fan eva!" attitude seen among groupies, which made it all the more hilarious when the Wu asked all the "real hardcore Wu heads" (cheering ensued) what their first single was. Suddenly the number of people yelling dropped to about 5.
The show itself:
* They were late as fuck
* They performed the entire 36 Chambers album + 2 cuts from Liquid Swords + "It's Yourz", "Triumph" "Reunited" "Ice Cream" + Some ODB songs as a tribute. I heard people talking during their 10 second silence for ODB.
* Ghost looked mad bored. He was more focused on picking out pussy from the front row than rhyming but he never missed a beat
* Meth carried the night. He loved the audience feedback the most. He was his usual hyped self
* Rae started "The Heart Gently Weeps", forgot the lyrics after a while and said "fuck this". That effectively ended the song
* Rae rocked the "Shook Ones Pt. 2" beat for a while (they switched beats for a bit during "Protect Ya Neck" .. I think)
* Meth and U-God did a small breakdance session at the end
Not that interesting but hey!
