It was a long night but totally worth it. I had to work early the next day so I didn't want to stay late. The concert was supposed to start at 8pm but of course the headline act (Public Enemy) didn't come on until closer to 1am. As the night crept on I almost bailed to go home to my comfy bed. But then Doug E Fresh came out and re-energized the crowd. Then Whoodini came out and killed it. Then Kool Moe Dee came out and was amazing. The show kept getting better and better. Next thing I know it's 1am and I'm hip deep in PE. When Flavor Flav jumped out it was all over for me. I was hooked and in it for the long haul. Glad I stayed. One of the best shows I've seen in a while.

Chuck D. brought together a slew of classic hip-hop acts as openers. The other bands were hit and miss: Son of Bazerk and X-Clan were fun and excellent, Schoolly D seemed bored, and Wise Intelligent was neither. Public Enemy played a good mix of old stuff and new, and showed why they are legends. Age has not slowed them down a bit. They were great!

The entire show was fantastic. All the artists were on top of their game. Awesome Dre was exactly that, Wise intelligent threw it down, Monie Love was so radiant and entertaining; I love her. Brother J was Phenomenal and Public Enemy rocked the house.

This was greatest concert ever. I was with my nephew who is in a wheelchair. He couldn't see very well, so they let us watch the concert from on the stage! PE besides being a great group that puts on awesome concerts are also fabulous people! My nephew has been singing "fight the power" ever since.

This concert took me back in time. Good seeing these hip hop legends still doing their thing.
I wish PE came on a little earlier because by the time they hit the stage I was ready for bed. Can't hang like I used to but I enjoyed myself.

The groups were energized and they pushed the crowd to even better heights. This was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the mix of the crowd. I really enjoyed watching America evolve into the multicultural country it has become Public Enemy was at the forefront of this in the ninety's and the eighty's the crown was sixty forty split can even that was amazing because you wouldn't know never listen to them it was a great time I do it again I need to go. This is the America I always hope to see and be a part of and now it's here Thank You

More than a nostalgia show, PE put on a solid (though fairly brief) review of their most popular songs with personality and flair. The music still stands today and had the corwd pumpin'!

This was a fantastic event, very positive and incredibly well-organized. There was NO waiting between acts—each act came out, played for 30 minutes or so, and the next act came on right away, with Public Enemy's amazing Chuck D introducing the acts and providing historical context. I was afraid it might be overly "nostalgic" but it wasn't—it felt fresh and contemporary and just had a very positive, community-oriented vibe w/out sidestepping difficult political/social issues. Public Enemy brought down the house as the headliner with an amazing, high-energy, louder-than-a-bomb performance. 1980's hip hop heads, you MUST go, and bring some yunguns along for an unforgettable night!

That was a great show to be able to watch, i love that hip hop is alive and well, CLASSIC not old school. I'm glad that there are still artist that undertand the importance of being mature and well rounded. Chuck D is an amazing MC, the way he hosted the show and showed the local talent so much love was one of the best feeling I got this year at a show.
big ups

Left before Public Enemy came on for 2 reasons. First, and most importantly, with the exception of Wise Intelligent and arguably Awesome Dre, the sets were terrible. Most of these guys are just too old and either their voices are gone or they just don't have the energy to perform any more. Thought Son of Beserk was going to keel over. Schooly D sounded silly at whatever age he is and uses so much reverb you couldn't hear the lyrics. There was only one Leader of the New School there who's voice was failing and there was no Charlie Brown. The DJ that filled in to rap with him had a very grating voice.
Secondly, we just didn't have the patience for the endless talking in between sets by Chuck D either promoting the social media sites of the all the acts or saying how great the old days used to be or else the acts making mindless inside references about back in the day. Truly unintelligible, boring and endless talk, that interrupted any flow the show might have salvaged.
We were definitely not the only ones streaming out of there early.

Man it was so good to see PE all back together and the did there thing. Chuck's voice was going out but he did not quit and apologized several times for it. He even signed any item from any body who wanted him to for not being at his best. Flava actually had his back and carried the show. I wish Griff was more into it he seemed tired. All in all this is a must see if you are a PE fan from back in the day full of energy for brotha's in their 50's.

It was one of the best shows i have been to all year. This was my first time seeing the group and they had so much energy, that i could not believe that it had been 25 years!! I was able to have my 2nd eldest daughter with me (14) and she was able to experience my generation and what it felt like to be my age at the dawning of the hip hop era.
