Then a stop at the German Market for some mallow goodness, can't get enough of the £4 for 10 offer!
Then linked JP and Walex and headed to Space 2. On entry the crowd was rather sparse and the warm up act was more than disappointing but he definitely made us a good laugh.. all be it unintentionally.
We waited as the DJs span some Hip-Hop classics and DMC champion DJ Switch did his thing, nothing amazing, at times it sounded more like a clash of beats than mixing or scratching but some of the turntablists in the crowd were enthralled.
As the time of Public Enemy neared I hopped stage side camera in hand, got a quick team photo then set up for the show ahead.
Large up Walex on his birthday.
Just after 11 and the sound crew had everything up set Flava Flav graced the stage with the rest of the Public Enemy live band.
As they worked their way through twenty years of hits with various interludes, dedications and wisdom they wowed the crowd for a whole three hours. THREE HOURS! What other Hip-Hop act do you see these days doing that, Public Enemy really showing the fans some dedication with such a stage presence considering they're all about 50 years of age!
Anyway I'm gonna let the pictures do the talking..
The backing vocalist's were quite something
Flav did some surfing
Die hard fans knew every word!
Chuck D saying his final peice
After such an epic performance we hooked up with Seeds for a bit of an after party in the Rainbow.. with free drinks supplied by an extremely lean Sloba we chilled till the early hours finishing off a once in a life time evening.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah Boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

Wicked pics Witts, and good write up too!
This is one of the best gigs i've ever been too, tune after tune after tune. And the energy of those guys was just incredible at their age.
I picked them up and dropped them at the airports too, and the most bizarre part of it all was them hooking up with Samuel L Jackson at Heathrow! Oh, and the fact that Mallick their head of security was in The Godfather, Shaft and played for the Buffalo Bills in the NFL in 67-68!
He's writing a biography at the moment, sounds like it'll be worth a read!
Glad you enjoyed it dude
Custard Factory Dave!
yeah man!
was a good night it was good to see a massive turnout as well! would have been a bit of a letdown for them if noone hard turned up seeing as birmingham is their favourite uk city n everything (apparently)
