Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Directed by one "Nathanial Hörnblowér" and shot by 50 fans, Awesome is the Beastie Boys live and direct. (The full title includes a four-letter word in its six-letter-plus-apostrophe incarnation.) The place is New York’s Madison Square Garden. The date is October 9, 2004. The show begins with scratching from DJ Mix Master Mike as the amateur operators, armed with Hi-8 cameras, get busy--from the audience, at the concession stands, and even in the bathrooms. Subtitled "An Authorized Bootleg," Awesome features the tracksuit-sporting trio, Mike D, Adrock, and MCA, running through numbers from all six records. (Later, they bust out the pastel tuxes for a pro-shot suite of jazz-funk.) Selections include "Brass Monkey" (Licensed to Ill), "Shake Your Rump" (Paul's Boutique), "Pass the Mic" (Check Your Head), "Sure Shot" (Ill Communication), "Body Movin'" (Hello Nasty), and "Ch-Ch-Check It Out" (To the 5 Boroughs). On stage, they're joined by Keyboard Money Mark, percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, and Doug E. Fresh, "the world's greatest entertainer," who adds a little human beat-box to their rhymes. For viewers concerned about Blair Witch-style vertigo, rest assured that editor Neal Usatin has stitched the shaky footage together skillfully enough to stave it off. Almost as essential as their Criterion Collection Video Anthology, Awesome may be the world's most professional home movie. Nathanial Hörnblowér, incidentally, is the nom de film of MCA, AKA Adam Yauch. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

    But of course. It would be great doing this show. Also start up contest. Best looking 5 customes from the crowd get a chance to be on stage with the band, and jam out to their last song or something. Just throughing out ideas. 8-)

    cool idea...but this was such an orginal idea by the Beastie Boys that I doubt PJ would steal it.

    NIN fans did a great job shooting and compiling footage from the LITS tour - even getting some in HD... although they had the support of trent... we couldnt really do anything without the PJ camp on board letting the cameras in... maybe theyre already thinking of an official release

    i think we could pull something like this off with the right people in charge though... id be happy to help with the film editing and package art if we try it... itd be easy to sync up the video with the official bootleg for awesome sound quality

    get the ball rollin, D! :mrgreen:

    Everyone who goes should dress up in grunge gear for the halloween show. I think the band would get an absolute kick out of it. Plus you can pretend its the 90's and the boys can rock out like the old days....

    I hate to burst anyone's bubble about how "amateur" the Beastie's DVD is but if you look at the booklet inside the case you can tell that (at least) 17 of the cameras were either planted or being operated by professionals.
