Like Lauryn Hill before them, the Wu-Tang Clan preceeded the NYC-area portion of their tour with a stop at Higher Ground in Vermont. Unlike Lauryn’s though, their show was met with positive reviews… including by someone who alledgedly works at the venue via a comment on the Seven Days blog

“Hey there – just please let it be known – that we at Higher Ground had such a difficult time dealing with this – Lauryn’s crew brought in their entire own PA and had their own engineers – which was totally unnecessary as we have a proper high end PA in-house that they could have used – but Lauryn chose not to. Other venues she plays will suffer the same fate unfortunately. It was too loud because they brought their own subwoofers – in addition to ours that are more than adequate to run any show – just ask the Wu-Tang Clan who had a great performance last night on all of our house gear. It was distorted because Higher Ground engineers – who weren’t allowed to run the sound – and know the room better than any traveling engineer – were forced to allow Ms. Hill’s crew to make the room sound as she requested. Therefore as a result there were some refunds given back and plenty of earplugs handed out, as well as a plethora of complaints, not only from concert attendees but neighbors as well….”

Wu-Tang Clan‘s tour is now underway. As previously mentioned, it hits Starland Ballroom in NJ tonight (12/23) and Best Buy Theater in NYC on 12/29 (tickets). An updated set of dates and more pictures from the Vermont show (setlist coming soon), below…
