mtv unplugged...i was blown away, completely impressed with the show. fast forward to jay-z's thanksgiving show in hammerstein last year...disappointed...dare i say disgusted...told a "co-worker" about it and that i thought in hind-sight what made the unplugged show so great clearly wuz the band...she said sho' ya right and i bought phren.

when i finish absorbing that album like a fine bottle of wine, i will cop the rest.
