THAT SHOW WAS EXCELLENT!

N.E.R.D. and Common KILLED IT!

N.E.R.D.'s show was hiiiiiiiiigh energy multiplied by 10! I didn't get a chance to be in the mosh pit, though...(I was on the wrong side of the crowd, lol)

Common's set-up on the stage was just greatly creative. I don't wanna reveal too much of what it looked like, but it fits the theme of his next album PERFECTLY.

On my way into the venue, I ran into Bun B. He walked in just like everybody else. That was very cool to see. He gave love to everybody that crossed his path even as he was texting on his phone. Lol, very humble and down to Earth.

I had a BLAST. I only got about 5 hours of sleep and I'm wide awake. Lol, I still haven't come down from that high yet.

I hope everyone else that went enjoyed themselves!

P.E.A.C.E.
178752, Common's band?

Did he have a band? Was it just Karriem on drums and Omar and Junius on keys, or did he have a bigger band?

Thanks

You don't understand how much I'm laughing right now. Common really needs to switch up his routine.
