Bored in the car on the way home so will do a bit of a review.
So Wu-Tang in Melbourne. Pretty much what I expected. It was GZA, Ghost, Rae, U God, Masta Killa and Deck. ( plus a 'special' 'guest' - more on that). Probably 4k or so turnout at Festival Hall - approximately 3900 males. Sound was really average.
They really aren't that great as performers but they have a back cat that no one can fuck with. Ghost & Masta Killah had the best stage presence, the rest are pretty bad in that regard. Deck is terrible live, his voice seemed blown out but even in DVDs I have watched it's always been that way, didn't even sound like him and you could barely hear him.Shame. Method Man was sorely missed IMO, he is easily the best performer out of the Wu.
Set list was something like- Bring Da ruckus, Mystery of Chessboxing, Clan in da front, Duel of the Iron Mic, 4th chamber, Wu tang clan ain't nuttin to fuck with, criminology, shame on a nigga, CREAM, protect ya neck, gravel pit, triumph, its yours, reunited, ice cream. I maybe missed one or two. Crowd was going mental at the start and then towards the end again.
They of course did a bit of an ODB tribute, but they brought out ODB's son, cleverly called Young Dirty Bastard who was pretty much a clone with the same hair and everything. He performed
shimmy shimmy y'all, quite poorly tbh. He is basically trying to be ODB. Then he stayed on stage for the rest of the concert. He did one of the worst freestyles ever at the end. Was the last one to leave signing off with 'this is the mother fucking furthest I have flown' LOL
I am obviously a pretty harsh critic having been to so many gigs but it was still pretty fucking awesome to see them. Dont get me wrong I did really enjoy the show and I am glad I went. I couldn't see myself bothering to see them again unless it was definitely all of them coming.
Sorry for poor formatting etc I am on my phone and hungover.
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

Gonna share it with you guys
I like how he uses the first scratch through the song
