"It was off-again/on-again all the live long day for one of SXSW's most anticipated performances. The rumors surrounding Ghost's presumed cancellation and eventual re-confirmation were great: He wouldn't fly without an entourage of 200 friends and relatives (false), he overslept (true), and the organizers got him there on a chartered flight (also true). What! He would inevitably go on as scheduled, forcing every cellphone and digital camera within a seven-block radius in the air." [Pitchfork]
"Ghost did a lot of songs, and I don't remember everything, but the set definitely included "Nutmeg," "Ghost Deini," "Apollo Kids," "We Made It," "Child's Play," "Cherchez La Ghost," "Run," "Holla," "Ice Cream," "Back Like That," and "Be Easy." Interestingly enough, about midway through the set, after doing a version of "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" in tribute to Ol' Dirty Bastard, he and Trife performed "Reunited" and "Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin' To Fuck Wit," neither of which feature verses by Ghostface."

After the show, Ghostface went to eat at PF Changs.
Ghostface plays Nokia Theater in NYC Saturday night, April 22.

Man, that show must have been amazing .. I've been burning a hole in Fishscale, but we're not hip enough here to get shows like this, so I try to live vicariously .. great post
