All I have to say is that the Blue Scholars are amazing. This being their hometown stop on the tour made the night INCREDIBLE and the energy powerful. Easily the best concert I've ever been too. Highly reccomend. Can't wait to see them again.
The Physics were good too, not as good as I imagined, but Bambu was really great. I didn't really like his recorded music but he's much better live, and I like the content of his lyrics.
All of the acts connected really well with the audience. Each of them made you feel special for being there and you can really tell they care about their fans.

Geo and Sabzi are hip hop veterans and it showed. Amazing show. Venue was a great size. BFA did a good opening act, too. Can't wait to see Blue Scholars again.

I've been a fan of Blue Scholars since 2009, when I heard their self-titled album in my buddy's car. Fast forward to 2012, and I can't believe I'm seeing them for the first time ever.
The first thing I thought when I walked in was, "Wow...this place is COZY." I had gone to see Macklemore at Irving Plaza a few weeks prior and that was much larger. The Ballroom, on the other hand, was a slimmed down, more compact version of the Plaza - stage and open floor space on the first floor, balcony on the second floor.
The Flavr Blue opened up with their pop-synth/electronica, and although they were just two guys and a girl tapping on drum pads, they had a nice polished indie sound to them. Plus, Hollis, the singer, was ridiculously pretty. :-)
Next up was Brother from Another, and believe me when I said I was impressed. They looked very young from a distance (around 16 or 17, I guessed), but they performed with the energy of veteran rappers. They immediately got the crowd pumped up and dancing. Their interaction with one another onstage was totally genuine and hysterical, and it was easy to tell they loved making music together.
They were followed by The Physics, and there's not much you can say about them that everyone doesn't already know. ThigNat kept the momentum going and every time Justo came out from behind his turntables, the crowd cheered.
Then Sabzi took the stage with his laptop and it was all over. The crowd swelled to an uproar as the video screen onstage projected a countdown clock. It served as a "visual soundtrack" for the entirety of the concert, and it was a beautifully original touch. As soon as Scholars started "Cinematropolis," everyone (myself included) went absolutely nuts.
At one point during the set, they asked everyone wearing a shirt/hat related to Seattle/Blue Scholars/Sharkfacegang/the West Coast to come up onstage during "Slick Watts." To see everyone dancing together and singing along to the song was a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
And just like that, the night ended. Sweaty and exhausted, I ordered a cup of water from the bar (being underage sucks sometimes), and waited around to see if I could get a picture with Scholars. I wasn't able to, but I DID get to chat with Goon from BFA and he was extremely kind - very appreciative of the crowd and the fact that people came out to support Seattle hip-hop.
Overall: fantastic night. I keep re-living it in my head and would gladly do it all over again. #TOURALLDAY!

Concert was pretty awesome. There was two opening acts and then Blue Scholars came on. The only issue I had was that the main act came on pretty late so myself and most people were pretty tired since it was a Thursday night. Everything else, including the venue was great though!

They're always amazing live. Every single time. So much energy, they always play the exact songs you want to hear. My favorite hip hop group of all time.

Great show. Only complaint: the blue scholars have great lyrics about a ton of interesting social issues. I sort of expected their crowd banter to go a littler deeper then listing off establishments they like in Seattle. Seattle is great and all, but I'm not sure I need to hear exclusively about Seattle for the entire set.

THE BLUE SCHOLARS WERE AMAZING!!!! I knew this show was going to be awesome because of the line up. The Physics, Grynch, Sol, and Bambu all rocked Bowery Ballroom and made it a show that could've been straight out of Seattle. I also got to go up on stage! AMAZING show YOU MUST SEE THEM

It was my first concert and the best first concert I could have asked for. The opening groups were great, and even though it took awhile for Blue Scholars to come on, Geo & Sabzi did not disappoint. Not only were they great performers but they but on a fantastic and hilarious show for everyone. SO SO GOOD.

The first performer didn't come out until an hour after the show was supposed to start, but once the crowd filled in things got started. grynch, sol, and bambu got the crowd pumped up for Blue scholars, and they just rocked the crowd. They all came back out for an encore after the crowd cheered for about 3 minutes. it was great

Blue Scholars was amazing and a great representation of Seattle. Bambu was also great. The venue was great too. The only thing I didn't like was the DJ playing for 3 hours with no artist.

Geo... I cannot explain my passion for this guy! He feeds off of his fans. Most artists say that they're all about the fans but leave it at that, Geo cares enough to know their names, talk to them like they're his equal, he loves us!! The opening acts sucked in my opinion.. I guess that is due to my comparison to BS. They weren't awful but if was going to see them again I'd wait the 3 hours and do something else then just come for BS. Best live show I've been to. They performed some classics too and came back for an encore.. So sweet!!
Geo for President!
