!!!!!!wow!!!!!!!!

spiderman3 and a beasties tour in the SAME SUMMER!!!!

Geezus, how many more shows have to be on Aug. 9th?

Any clues to the presale? These are weekdays, no?

same day as daft punk

WHY?!

Is Mike D a manorexic? What's with the extra face skin? Maybe their next doc should be a fan produced luncheon titled 'I F*ckin' Ate That!'

"same day as daft punk

WHY?!"

my sentiments exactly. shitty.

god obviously hates you anon 5:29

"Geezus, how many more shows have to be on Aug.
9th?"

Beastie Boys
Daft Punk
Hold Steady
Black Crowes

Damn damn damn. I hate Summerstage but it looks like the only option.

plus the Hold Steady

Summerstage it is, then. Not cool, Boys, not cool.

Beasties @ McCarren is gonna be awesome.
No Sleep 'til McCarren...
Ain't seen the light since we started this band
M.C.A.: get on the mic my man
Born and bred Brooklyn U.S.A.
They call me Adam Yauch but I'm M.C.A.
Like a lemon to a lime a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women
Got limos, arena, TV shows
Autograph pictures and classy hos
Step off homes get out of my way
Taxing little girlies form here to L.A.
Waking up before I get to sleep
Cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week
No sleep 'til Brooklyn

yeah three bklyn shows on 8/9 (Beasties, Daft Punk, and the free Hold Steady show) that will all be packed in their respect. don't think anyone is going to be in manhattan that day.

what is mccarren pool like for a concert? ive never been there before. is it better than summerstage? trying to decide between the two dates

wait their site has:
09/08/2007 - Robin Hill Countryside Adventure Park - Isle of Wight, GB
Bestival
Tickets | Robin Hill Countryside Adventure Park

09/09/2007 - Robin Hill Countryside Adventure Park - Isle of Wight, GB
Bestival
Tickets | Robin Hill Countryside Adventure Park

It's all part of a greater plan my hipster friends:

All of these bands will unite and together with their audiences they will march to Portland to destroy the evil Colin Meloy!

This has me very excited. But I wish Mike D didn't look like Bob Dylan now.

wow. i am retarded. 9 = september. christ. i need to leave work

Anon 5:44-
McCarren is actually a nice place to see a show. They had some problems with the beer lines being way too long at first but I had no problems getting nicely sauced at Sonic Youth/YYYs. Plus it's pretty easy to work your way into a good spot.

plus The Cribs at Bowery on 8/9. It's only been announced on their myspace, it's not even on the bowery website yet.

"McCarren is actually a nice place to see a show. They had some problems with the beer lines being way too long at first but I had no problems getting nicely sauced at Sonic Youth/YYYs. Plus it's pretty easy to work your way into a good spot. "

would you say the area is bigger or smaller than summer stage? also, how far away from the stage are you and how high up is the stage? im not crayz about summerstage cause like the stage is 15 feet back and then really high up.

any word on how much this will be?

pre-sale this friday @ 11 am. Public on-sale saturday.

Alright, someone make w/ the pre-sale password. This venue is big enough to where you can share it with all your BV buddies and still get tix for you and yours.

Summerstage is much smaller than McCarren

isnt that Bob Dylan? :)

Password is MIXUP.

Many thanks to BV for all the tip offs.

I can't believe people already took my Bob Dylan comment... I thought it was so clever...

Thanks for the pw (and to BV for the heads up)

I hate to bring up something as ugly as money when we're talking about the Beastie Boys, but does anyone know how much this show will cost?

Philly's $49.50 -- so probably in that range, if not a little higher.

I love the beasites, but $50 before ticketmaster fees is nuts. I think I will stand in the park and just listen....unless bad brains opens or someone equally awesome.

brooklyn is $49, 50 cents less than philly!!

All Central Park and McCarren pools shows should be free. Let people that are unemployed have the oppurtunity to sit in line for hours just to get in. It's not fair that these shows are not free.

Anyone know if there is gonna be a PIT or whatnot? I'm assumin' these joints are GA, so what's the point of a presale?

the summerstage is $52 and the mccarren show is $49
both ridiculous amounts - especially w/ ticketmaster's "convenience fees" on top.

Ticketmaster actually charges to allow you to print your tickets on your OWN printer.

anyway, summerstage is a shitty venue.

and a friend told me that the beasties were not so good at sasquatch.

okay, enough hating for today

Don't forget yer Metamucil, boys!

Hey downtown,
The Beasties' instrumental set during day 1 of Sasquatch (on the smaller "Wookie" stage) was one of the unexpected (only because I generally prefer their more accessible rap side to their instrumental side but these days I'm not so sure) highlights of the day for me. Unfortunately, we missed their secret show at the Crocodile in Seattle the night before, but from what I heard the setlists were very similar. They played a lot of deep cuts from their albums and a lot of new stuff as well. I reviewed it and you can read it here:

so pre-sale is TOMORROW or FRIDAY?

very annoying its the same day as daft punk. and the crowes playin central park...anyone up for renting a helicopter?

Thanks matt. i checked it out. i saw the beasties way back in 87 - "together forever tour" w/ run dmc, and again around 92 for check your head. both were great shows (from what I remember)

but the price for entry on these shows is ridiculous. despite my temptation to see them again

At least the Summerstage shows that are ticketed give the money to the park to put on other free events. The ticketed events at McCarren--the money goes to Live Nation, Inc.

Hopefully after this year there will be no more for-profit shows in publically owned venues.

Ticketmaster pre-sale is Friday.

After the service charges, this is going to wind up being $60+ a ticket. I just can't do that. I've seen their "rapping shows" when they were in their prime, and don't think they can top that these days.

Would much rather see them do the instrumental thing.

hooray got my tickets! Expensive as hell but I'm super rich so it doesn't matter.

Presale password, anyone? BV?

Oh, ignore my post, just saw the password. BV, the comments take forever to refresh.

They just added a Gala Event to August 10 at the Hamemrstien. This one is all instrumental. Nice

Where did u hear about the hammerstein show?

when you guys coming to pittsburgh??????

When is the FLorida date?????

single tickets are available for beastie boys @ mccarren pool

does anyone know if there's an opener on thursday at the pool? any idea what time the beasties will go on?

Does anyone know if there are openers or maybe what time Beasties Will get on in Brooklyn??? Thanks!

JD Samson of Le Tigre and MEN will be spinning from 6PM - 7:30PM tonight at SummerStage. It will be stellar.

beastie boys in brooklyn was great, they were raised in brooklyn, but never played a concert there before. it was historic.

doors opened at 5:30pm for the security line to get in. the show actually started at around 8:15pm. it was just beastie boys. they ended with no sleep till brooklyn.
