a'dam is the place to be
talib kweli, paradiso, saturday june 30th
me & mc got the old man seats on the balcony, dead center in the back... perfect to see the stage and the crowd filling in below. plus undercover enough to take swigs of the brandy in the flask. jean grae came on (after a quick set by frank 'n dank) kinda hyped and tried valiantly to get the crowd to rise to her level... however she underestimates the cumulative power of the herb on any amsterdam concert crowd - artists should know by now that a mass of zoned-out peeps swaying to good music is THE official amsterdam stamp of approval. but anyway she managed to get shit on and popping until talib came out. it was truly on from that point as the flow and the show were simply impeccable - it was lovely to see the crowd moving in unison, hands in the air, singing hooks to so many of his songs. nice touch: the big ass video screen behind the stage playing vids to some of the songs, while talib performed them synchronously (at least it looked that way from where we were). we floated out after midnight faded on the herb, the drank and the real hiphop.
ziggy marley, paradiso, sunday july 1st
we spent the day recovering and enjoying some further brews (witbier) in the park near the house. the Surinamese festival and the grub we hooked up was right, but before we knew it was after 9pm - the concert was slated to start at 8pm. we rushed to the Paradiso, and sure enough ziggy was already on and the place was jampacked. we found seats on the balcony on the left side of the stage, even better view of the band and with the whole crowd to our left. the place was rocking - ziggy and his team were on point and it was straight roots rock reggae. too bad we only got 3 songs before they tore! luckily, they returned quick for the encore which meant another 3 songs... gotta say every minute we were there was maximum vibes, beautiful music and energy, and again the crowd 'in tune' with the music. last song, 'love is my religion' was a tour de force ("i don't condemn i don't convert")! when ziggy left for good, we were starved for more vibes so staggered to Easy Times coffeeshop for a little ip with further roots music. gotta love it!
talib - more or less = massive tune!!!
ziggy - love is my religion = lyrics a gwaan!!!
