Our Grousing The Aisles columns usually employ a common thread or theme among all of the recordings featured each week. This column is, however, not one of those times. I can’t think of anything that ties together the four awesome shows below, so let’s just call this column The Mix-Up, in honor of the Beastie Boys’ latest album. And wouldn’t you know it, look who’s leading off…
Beastie Boys 07/14/2007 FM [FLAC, MP3]:
It seems like everyone who’s seen the Beastie Boys play this summer has emerged from the show raving about the band’s stellar performance. You can count me in that group as well, as the Beasties impressed the hell out of me a few weeks back at Central Park’s SummerStage (and Ace, too). A couple of meh-sounding audience recordings of their tour have popped up over the past few weeks, but yesterday I came across a crispy-as-fuck (CAF) radio broadcast of the Beasties’ set from the Nuke Festival in Austria. Jackpot!
The B-Boys set from Austria combines the best instrumentals from The Mix-Up with a slew of greatest hits. Mix Master Mike starts the show off with a solo that slowly evolves into Triple Trouble. The meat of the set is the sequence of Shake Your Rump, Gratitude, The Biz vs. The Nuge and Time For Livin’. Some of the other highlights include Body Movin’, Pass The Mic and Brass The Monkey. Off The Grid and The Gala Event were the best of the new tunes played at the Nuke. Hopefully the Beastie Boys will release a live album from this tour, but until then, this show will get plenty of play on my iPod.
