Just got back from the NERD & Common concert....
Very very very good show. I had seen NERD at the Kanye West concert earlier this summer but I was late (go figure) and they opened so I caught the tail end of it. However, I'm not a HUGE fan of NERD so I only knew like four songs of theirs which were great. Common ripped it though. Like, man, such a great show. He did a lot of his back in the day shit, from I used to love her to his more recent shit like cuts off Kanye's first album all the way to stuff off of BE and of course the new album.Special guests included of course as I expected Pharell, and unexpectedly Will.I.Am showed up at the end. Pharell sang a hook or two and then kinda danced around a lil. He kept leaving the stage and then would randomly pop back in. It was kinda dope on universal mind control he came back out and did a Michael Jackson MTV awardsish Robot (pop&lock) which was pretty fresh. Common fuckin' threw his mic and started breakin'! It was awesome. He did a lil footwork and then busted out some spins. Very enjoyable.Then at the end after the always predictable encore and introduction to the band Will.I.Am Shows up on stage. He just started freestyling for like 5mins straight. A lot of it was inaudible but still cool to see. Then Common freestyled, awesome. Such a great show, even though I paid 50 bucks for like the last row at the top! I bought tix at the door and went with my cousin Jess and we both had a great time.The theatre was pretty much exactly like the State Theatre in Detroit, kinda gave me that "at home" feeling. :-)
