Really wasn't that bad. I have seen some big acts worse than him including a major "dinosaur" rock band that totally sucked. Given the type of music that they played, not what a rock audience is used to but pretty good.
martha said:, Damian Marley has some toasting influences, along with reggae. I'm not a huge fan of toasting (Yellowman ), but I'll be interested to hear him. I better be; I think he's opening for three of the four third leg shows I'm going too.
gabrielvox said:Um, mods, might I respectfully suggest that these two threads be DE-merged?
THe previous poster hasnt seen the show yet, and this is a thread of opinions AFTER the show.
Its kindof misleading because I actually thought that the person had seen the show and was saying it was crap. He just might change his opinion after Saturday, or not, or may not even bother watching it.
At any rate I dont think it belongs, just imho.

I wanted to get some reviews before the Vegas show, I probably won't let an opinion from this thread make my decision, not as long as there are bars in the casino. This obviously isn't a Rap crowd, although I do appreciate the pros/cons of Marley's performance, I'll probabaly catch his show and drink to some reggae beats.
Agreed, the bass was too loud for me, although I like reggae music in general, but I felt the bass in my chest, I have an irregular heart beat, and I think it was throwing my heart off I had to leave for a while, and was worried about the effect Adam's bass would have, but of course, his bass felt soothingJMScoopy said:I think he wasn't anything special. The bass was way too loud, i could feel it thumping my chest, and i thought the igloo was gonna collapse!

So Damian has my vote for best opening act of this leg.
Bono is always sound-dropping reggae/Jamaican vibes. In either Pittburgh or Detroit, when introducing Edge as from the future, he laid on the yardie accent and said 'yeah mon - him come from the future'
last night in Detroit he sang Get Up Stand Up during SBS...

*Kimla squeals with excitement* To hear Bono say, "Him come from di future." Oh that's so awesome. When B snipetted a little of Exodus at the Philly I show, I went crazy on the front rail of the ellipse.
At MSG he tried the same thing. During Elevation Bono looked down at my Jamaican t-shirt and said, "I'm a believah in you, an' di Edge." It sounded so wrong I ended up laughing at him.
