Of course the SC date falls on a Wednesday.

The first 2 concerts I went to without adult supervision were both Public Enemy.

I am worried that it will not hold true to the old PE though.

WOW! My first unchaperoned concert was also PE! 1987 with the Beastie Boys and punk band Murphy's Law.

sweet.

It would be cool. But I wouldn't count on it.

Do they put on a good show still? It seems they haven't stayed really tight with Flav and Chuck D definitely doing their own things. It seems to me the shelf life of hip/hop groups is a lot shorter than other genres of music...

To me Flav can't really do his own thing. IMO Public Enemy was mainly Chuck D when you think about it.

Except star in several reality series and release a solo album.

Are you all forgeting the immense talent of Ms Brigitte Nielson? Mark-Ass Bustas!!!!

[taciturn]

Awesome, thanks for posting. I wonder if they can still perform "She watch Channel Zero" without Chuck slapping Flav off the stage.

fight the power

I am seriously considering going to the show on March 7th in Covington. I love that venue (saw Yonder Mtn there this past Thurs)

Sorry for duplicating the link-- but I did a search for Public Enemy and this thread didn't come up... weird.

I thought that they started to fall off when they stopped working with the bomb squad.

I've never seen them and always wanted to.

[Jazzmaster]

Public Enemy would be an awesome addition, I would definitely hit up a PE show.

edit: I might add that Tom Morello is a really good friend of PE, and they have done some collaborations at concerts before, so maybe thats just wishful thinking on my part--but it still could happen.

I saw PE at SxSW a couple weeks ago, and they tore it up!!! Flava was celcbrating his birthday, so he was goin nuts. Good stuff though! Would make an excellent choice for last years Cypress Hill spot.

Oh hell yeah, bring me "Here it is, BAM! And you say 'goddam, this is a dope jam!' but let's define the term called dope, you think it mean funky, now, nope!"

or

"The Woman make the men all pause and you got a woman she might make you forget yours,
the five letter word to describe her character, but her brain's been washed by an actor"

or

"Col' Lampin with Flava Flav." HAHA!

God I love PE!

Anybody remember the kick ass cover of "She Watch Channel Zero" by Follow For Now in the early nineties? I'm kinda bummed that I got rid of that disc.

[Bishop]

never heard of it, any good?

[cdevaney]

Yeah, they came out during the black rock boom of the early nineties when Living Colour, 24-7 Spyz, Fishbone, The Hard Corps, etc were all peaking. They had a real rockin' cover of "She Watch Channel Zero" that was kind of the centerpiece of their shows. They've been defunct for about a dozen years now, though.
