37. "******* SET LIST inside * (rough overall picture)"

i dont know all the names of songs and i didnt take down everything but i jotted notes in my blackberry throughout the day.

1. Kanye West
- Dave Chappelle (DC) welcome and introducing Kanye West
- Marching Band playing Jesus Walks
- Drug Dealin just to get by, stack your $$ ...
- Two Words feat. Mos Def
- Get Em High with Common and Kweli
- Buy Me a Spaceship w/ John Legend
- John Legend, maybe Im Selfish
- All Fall Down with chick from the record
- Jesus Walks (i think Common was on stage)
- Freeway, Even though what we do ... A Cappella
- Freeway does his verse over Two Words beat

* 1st interlude.
DC tells jokes and is making everyone laugh with his dancing, gets on the keys, does congo poetry freestyle ... needless to say, Dave is non stop laughs all night every time he takes the mic. The interludes between acts was pretty lengthy as of course they are shooting for a movie. But the vibe all over the place was laid back mellow. Dj Dummy spun records and got on the mic throughout the night. DC does some comedy and introduces each act...

2. dead prez
Turn Off The Radio
Mind Sex
For The Hood
Bigger Than Hip Hop (RBGs on stage)

3. Erykah Badu (im bad with her song titles and this is incomplete)
- Soul Flower
- Outside Game
- song...
- Love of My Life with Common
... stage dive...

4. Jill Scott (incomplete ... amazing performance)
- The Way U love me (rock version)
- Golden
* i was meeting up some people and didnt take down all the songs for Jill but she was stunning

5. The Roots
- Web
- Boom feat. Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap
- The Mic with Dave Chappelle and Truck North
- Love of My Life with Common
- Next Movement > spacey interlude
- You Got Me ($2 Bill version) with Jill Scott and both Jill and Erykah at the end

* 5th interlude.
DC stays on the mic for a while ("RF, RF" ... LOL @ KMACK!) ...
Dave calls an impromptu emcee bttle and invites a dude with a brohawk who he is calling MR T onto the stage to do a rhyme off. The dude is not dope but lays into DC with battle lyrics and gets hella boooed. Dave raps two bars and just starts saying funny shit that doesnt rhyme but is hillarious. Dude leaves stage. Dave performs...
- Piss on You (james poyser on keys, others)
- Piss on You remix (short)
- Blues Jam with Mos Def on drums. Back and forth with Mos Def on the mic
- DC introduces Common, Mos, and Kweli who perform in medley,

6. Common, Mos Def, Kweli, Black Star, Pharoah Monche
- its hard to imagine but this trio performed all sorts of songs in what was a like a live mixtape of their work. here goes some notes...
- Common, Resurrection
- Kweli, Move Something
- Black Star, Re-Definition
- Mos Def - Universal Magnetic shit
- Kweli, I Try
- Kweli, The Blast with Erykah on background vocals
- Common, The Light (erykah on stage and bilal at the end)
- Kweli, Get By
- Mos Def, Umi Says
- Latin Jam
- Pharoah Monche, Simon Says (1st verse and chorus only)

7. THE FUGEES
... unbelievable ... wait for the DVD

Dave Chappelle sums up The Fugees performance and the night with two words... "HOLY SHIT" ... then thanks everyone

8. Monster Jam featuring Cody ChesnuTT
-Jeru, Black Thought, Mos Def, Kweli, Jean Grae, Phonte, Dice Raw, Mack Dub, Truck, more.

Phonte and Bilal do a back and forth gospel blues

Mos Def sends love to BK and his neighborhood to end the night

Some notes about the band that played behind most of the artists and jam sessions all night. Eryhah, Jill, and Fugees had their own bands.

Band Leader, Drums - Questlove
Percussion - F. Knuckles
Keys - James Poyser and Omar
Bass - Adam Blackstone
Horns - Jeff Bradshaw, Chris somebody, and another cat (ill!)
Guitar - Kev "Spacey"

James played with a bunch of acts, many of whom he has produced. He killed the Universal Magnetic synth line ... just had to say that.

- The Sound. the sound was a little weird at times and it did cut in and out a bunch from Jill on. It didn't always seem that the band was together at certain points. there was a lot of music to cover. who knows how the sound was on stage and while there were rehearsals, the roots have been non stop on the road since i can even remember. Still, the show was so incredible and the vibe so high, it was amazing to see all these people together.

- The Set. The street corner they choose was perfect. it was not easy to find and they had it blocked off perfectly. there didnt seem to be much of a crowd trying to get in. It was well organized and kept under control. Behind the stage was this crazy ladys house with all these bizzare installations. She was acting crazy all night and you could see people watching the show from balconys, windows, stair wells, and roof tops all around.

- Conclusion. I know people who saw this are excited and those who didnt maybe a little salty that its getting rubbed in a little. Im sure my details don't help. sorry! this was definitely one for the books. I can't help but to think that this concert was the live show experience of everything Okayplayer is about. Hopefully this is signs of more greatness to come from this group of artists. Big ups to all the organizers and staff for pulling it off smooth. Can't wait to see the DVD.
