Watching this makes me tear up. Beastie Boys were such a huge part of my life growing up. Brings back such fond memories of getting License to Ill on tape and playing the shit out of it. RIP MCA.
The first song I ever learned for myself was Paul Revere! I can still sing it word for word! And I learned it about 3 months after License to Ill came out!
I feel ya...I was in the same situation. Getting License To Ill and popping it in my walkman listening to it for hours over and over again. Then seeing the Beasties in concert 3 times together with A Tribe Called Quest... another great Hip Hop group pioneering the way like the Beastie Boys !!! The Beasties and ATCQ at Lollapalooza 94 is 1 of my best top 3 concerts ! The 94 Lollapalooza was the Beasties Ill Communication album coming out and ATCQs Midnight Marauders album coming out...both great albums ! Some good fond memories !!!
marchatesyou1 there aren’t many bands that I wanted to see that I never got to see (I’ve been to probably a couple thousand shows in the past 30 years) but I never got a chance to see nuclear assault and I would have killed to see them.
Lol, I noticed that too! Makes sense, Nuclear Assault was from NY too. Seems the NY groups are pretty tight and support each other, even different genres. Like Anthrax was always sporting Beastie Boys and Public Enemy shirts on stage
I adore Nuclear Assault. They were singing about people wrecking the environment long before the world at large really gave a shit. So great to see the legend, MMM, supporting.
Just shows you how many people it takes to reproduce the beastie boys sound. Just three guys had so much vocal power and attitude that it's hard to replicate.
Yes, and what a long way we have come. Proud of that and hope to see more talents like Quest take those opportunities as well as bigger roles in popular media.
When MCA passed, that was the first time I realized the finite nature of time. I remember my dad getting all sad about artists from his generation when they passed. MCA was my first tase of that bitter cup, Many have since gone... Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, "Dimebag Darrell"... and time just seems to keep on accelerating.
Mix Master Mike tears those turn tables up... he's amazing ! Seeing QuestLove on the drums, MMM on the tables while Black Thought, Kid Rock, and Travie sing was bad arse !
Late to this response but the sugar hill gang used a live band. Lets not forget Errol Eduardo Bedwardt AKA Pumpkin one of Hip Hip greatest percussionist. Hell the beastie Boys did an album playing their own instruments.
RIP MCA. Beastie Boys were the soundtrack of my life when I was 13. Me n my patnas would each be one of the Beasties when we were high off that sticky icky and play one of their albums as loud as we could and Rap every bar word for word. When I was 18, we drove for over an hour to get to one of their concerts, just to find out it was sold out. We stayed in the parking lot anyway, bumpin their music, getting high and hollerin at girls
I love Mix Master Mike so much. I first saw him in the invizible skratch pickelz in 1983-1984 at the On Broadway in San Francisco. They were completely amazing and humble young men. Little geniuses, each and everyone of them. Back then as well as now.
I saw Qbert, Mix Master Mike, Disk, and Shortkut for the first time at Storyville on Fulton street in San Francisco back in 2000 when I moved to SF. I don't think they were performing in 83/84 because they were children.
@@greghawkins1507 you have a sharp eye & sold historical knowledge my friend. Should have read, 93/94. Not the first time I’ve lost a decade. I blame decades of repetitively participating in questionable lifestyle choices. Well it’s totally rad that you saw them in arguably their heyday, there in the city, in a somewhat intimate setting. Experiencing epic live music of any sort is my favorite way to feel like I am participating in history. I miss live music. I sometimes feel concerned that the whole live music experience in general is history. I hope I’m just going through some temporary pandemic paranoia and the populace will quit politicizing the virus and put a covering over their ugly faces in order to slow down The destruction from this virus. Although at this point, the level of destruction seems equal to the levels of delusion of so many people. Sheesh. Sorry about that. Not sure how I strayed off track so quickly. Well actually....
@@ga0425 haha so understand my friend. What a fun time this was in SF. I barely made it moving to SF in December 99~January 2000. I was lucky enough to be connected to the electronic music scene before I moved here , and worked with folks like Naut Humon, Jonah Sharp, Daum Bentley and Gavin Hardkiss
Totally name dropping, but met Naut Humon at that show at Storyville, and met Mike as well being an Asphodel night. Two weeks later I met my hip hop hero Kool Keith at the Maritime Hall which was a massive shit show. He walked out and demanded the crowd to pass him flower or he would leave, and ironically that’s what happened.
They were, I'm 52 and from the UK 🇬🇧 and saw them 6 times over the years, unbelievably entertaining, switching lyrics spontaneously to suit where they were playing just fucking awesome 👌
@@spikeythings3493 46 from quebec, saw them live 3 times, best show bad brains was supposed to open for them but the singer had a sore throath or something so Beasties just went on and did every single song they had! Really some of the best entertainers i have ever seen live!
Saw them a couple times, but the best one was in LA, we bought tickets for way back on the lawn. But, some desperate soul came up to us and said he can sell us PIT tickets and we were like nah bro, look fake. He walked all the way up to the ticket entrance with us and sure enough, they were legit. He wanted $80 for each, we gave him $100 for each plus our lawn seat tickets. Was a great show.
@@weebunny Paul's Boutique would have been difficult to do live because there was SO much sampling. I mean, some songs had five or six different songs sampled. Personally, I am glad they tried to stay with the songs that were mainly original.
How did I miss this? 2012? Wow. KID Rock Black Thought and Travis McCoy... whole performance was fire.. true hip hop homage.. 👌 🙌 👏 💯 😎 that was rock n roll yesterday today and forever
Yes, especially the rapping style where one begins the sentence, the second finishes it while the third one interjects single words. You need to have a flow as a group, not just as an individual.
I remember this performance. It absolutely KILLED, it was like they’d detonated sticks of dynamite onstage. And I’m not even a big fan of the Beastie Boys. I felt sorry for whoever had to follow that.
I missing the old school scratches. The ricochet 'Ahhhhh' and Fresssshh (and the electronic 'tape drop' brought into the mainstream with Paul Hardcastle's '19' - None of them received a hero's welcome - TAPE DROP ) from Fab Five Freddie's 1982 vinyl "Change The Beat" was used so much in early hip hop and crossover dance (Bomb The Bass , Ed Stratton's Mel and Kim remixes etc) and then sampled to f*ck throughout the 80s and 90s. . Let's bring it back. F-F-Fresh. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
@@douglasrisinger3285 They have been successful since the 80's. Long before Mix Master Mike. Yes Mix Master Mike is dope and a continuation of true B-boy culture.
Of course nothing compares to the original but these guys did a a good effort and made the Trek to pay homage to one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time... Rip MCA we miss you!
@@AnthonyL0401 he used a(1) record to create a beat, he jumped the needle from snare and kicks to horns and keys scratchin without the help of a laptop. good luck to any popular contemporary djs to have that skill set today. (not saying they ain't out there, jus saying)
apremdam isso mundo!!!!! homenagem aos nrancos que fizeraam sucesso no meio dos pretos, ganharam o respeito deles e hoje sao homenagiados por todas as raças e classes!!!!! foda!!!!
Pretty sure if this tribute were to happen now due to a later induction of the Beastie Boys, with the larger spotlight on this ceremony now, I'd expect a more thoughtful tribute backed by a larger budget that would include interviews with AC/DC, Aerosmith, Rick Ruben, Russell Simmons, RUN DMC, and perhaps include George Clinton and Parliament in the musical tribute who performed with them on the lollapalooza tour. Not to mention the connection to NWA and Dre being massively influenced by them.
I truly believe the Roots can play any kind of music you give them perfectly.
too perf if u ask me,,, needs more slop
THE LEGENDARY ROOTS CREW. 215 IN THE BUILDING
Cause they are rooted. In this shit
Absolutely
I thought that was Questlove...... Love you all!! Wonderful performance. Great shout out!!!!!
Guitar player nailed the vocals. In key and nailed the attitude.
“Captain” Kirk Douglas, guitar player for The Roots. One of the best to ever do it.
Absolutely!
Watching this makes me tear up. Beastie Boys were such a huge part of my life growing up. Brings back such fond memories of getting License to Ill on tape and playing the shit out of it. RIP MCA.

the teenage inside me is still mourning him, you know its sabotage
MixMasterMike wearing a Nuclear Assault shirt is just too perfect
marchatesyou1 there aren’t many bands that I wanted to see that I never got to see (I’ve been to probably a couple thousand shows in the past 30 years) but I never got a chance to see nuclear assault and I would have killed to see them.
Terrific thrash metal band.

I adore Nuclear Assault. They were singing about people wrecking the environment long before the world at large really gave a shit. So great to see the legend, MMM, supporting.
dude the guitarist fuckin KILLED sabotage. and mix master mike was killing it too
That's Captain Kirk of The Roots
First time seeing this and he was the best part
Oh yeah, he nailed it
Except that part is supposed to be on the bass
@@siractionslacks890 and it still sounds good so who gives an absolute shite about it
Just shows you how many people it takes to reproduce the beastie boys sound. Just three guys had so much vocal power and attitude that it's hard to replicate.
Tbh Travis Scott and to a lesser degree Kid Rock were kinda trash.
This sounds shit
DJ stole the show hands down the roots are no slouch too
I'm a 47 yr old black woman THIS ALL I KNOW!! I love em I'm in tears super excited
57 years here girl. Still bump this daily
I'm 50 year old white dude and still busting this rhyme gal ❤🎶🎶
Hells yeah
39 here. Beastie Boys have always been dope as fk 👌🏾... Rip MCA🕊️
I love how Quest Love has become the Paul Schaffer of this generation.❤️
That is so true.
Didn’t even think of that. Great observation!
Yes, and what a long way we have come. Proud of that and hope to see more talents like Quest take those opportunities as well as bigger roles in popular media.
When he pens an artistic opus like "it's Raining Men" I will agree.
While that is true that quest love is in many places , the truth of the matter is thats the roots playing!
, Mix Master Mike is the fucking GOAT
Actually that would be Q-bert. They were in the same group though Invisible Skratch Pickelz
When MCA passed, that was the first time I realized the finite nature of time. I remember my dad getting all sad about artists from his generation when they passed. MCA was my first tase of that bitter cup, Many have since gone... Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, "Dimebag Darrell"... and time just seems to keep on accelerating.
same here man, "finite nature of time'
It’s called life…people die…
Kirk Douglas(the guitar player at the end) total killed the vocals! His style/voice fit perfectly!!
He is the only one who did nail it
Mix Master Mike tears those turn tables up... he's amazing ! Seeing QuestLove on the drums, MMM on the tables while Black Thought, Kid Rock, and Travie sing was bad arse !
Travie did a SMASH up job!! So happy to see him get to do a tribute to the Beasties!!
Mix Master Mike is ON POINT!
Eff Kid rock
It's like The ROOTS can do ANYTHING
They pretty much can. They were the band for Jay-Z unplugged. That was freaking awesome
The hiphop medleys they did with Fallon/Timberlake are the best thing ever.
That is how you DJ no computer. Just pure raw talent
4:51 hes using serato on a laptop, still dope tho!
Wow, I always thought they were unique, but I never thought they’d be this hard to cover. The personality is a huge part of their music.
Their style can never be replicated. They are masters of the craft.
Got chills the second Sabotage dropped!
Most definitely!!!
this bro the guitar of the roots he made the best sabotage performance ever
Captain Kirk never disappoints 👍🏾
Beastie Boys and RUN DMC were THE groups of the 80s!!!! Classics!!
Seeing Black men doing their best Ad-Rock impressions makes me as a Black man feel less weird when I do it 😂😂😂
Music has no colour
Said this all my life. There are musicians, and there are artists. Nuff said.
hahaha.. thank you for this.
Hahaha awesome
Haha, you the man!
The reason why the Roots are the inventors of the hip hop band. The legendary Roots crew!!! RiP Adam Yauch!!!🤘
The Roots are a great hip hop band, but Stetsasonic was the original hip hop band. Check out "Talking all that Jazz"
Sugar hill gang?
Late to this response but the sugar hill gang used a live band. Lets not forget Errol Eduardo Bedwardt AKA Pumpkin one of Hip Hip greatest percussionist. Hell the beastie Boys did an album playing their own instruments.
You guys know beastie boys played the instruments right?!
@@lonnielongino798Was about to say what you said beloved. Go Stetsa! 1988 Brooklyn...💯💯💯💪🏾
Captain Kirk killed it on Sabotage.
Not really but he's the best of them all
Playing the bass on Sabotage is how I file the fingernails on my right hand.. its brutal!😁
Make yo body work!

That was beautiful. For an old hip hop head like myself, that brings some great memories.
Yeah, i´m a fan of the Roots and Cpt. Kirk Douglas!
Great performance on "Sabotage"!
That version of Sabotage was fucking off the chain
It’s complex music. Not easy to pull of something that cohesive when you’re not the Beasties themselves.
Yes, especially the rapping style where one begins the sentence, the second finishes it while the third one interjects single words. You need to have a flow as a group, not just as an individual.
Yeah sort of like a Lime to a Lemon. This was a disaster. MCA would agree. IMO
Whoever sang Sabotage should get a medal
That's Captain Kirk of The Roots. He's a fuckin' brilliant musician. Everyone in The Roots is, but Kirk And ?uestlove are legit geniuses.
They brought up the art of Hip Hop and they lifted up everyone with art.
Kid Rock wouldn't be caught dead in that room today.
Yea that didn't age well.

Pure legends
God damn that DJ made my day!
I just can’t with kid rock it’s like being on a bad acid trip
It was an admirable effort. But like usual, there's no substitute for th real thing.
