Atmos

The concert was choice! I waited to get tickets at the concert. Last time I went to a HOB concert all the tickets were general admission. This time seated tickets were all they had left. I was pretty sore. I like getting into the pit and getting a lil crazy. But it all work out in the end. There were four fights in the pit and a bunch of people kicked out of the concert, and it was nice not being sweaty and hurting by the end of the show.

Abstract Rude was the first opening band. He was on the Del tour we went to in Tahoe. Then Blueprint come up and Nick and I both thought he was white until he got on stage. Both the openers were fun. Nick and I talked through most of thier shows catching up on the last year. Chantel is back and a real doctor now! She got a house near Green Valley and they are doing great.

Atmosphere tours with a keyboard player, guitar player, a beautiful voiced back up diva, and now Ant tours with the group. It was really neat having that live music and interaction between the band members, instead of the usual dj and mc mix of a normal hiphop act. They played mostly the new stuff at the begining. Most of the new album is like this video. It's quite different than anything else Atmos has done. Then went the show got going they played some of thier old time favs. After a good show they walked off stage and waited for the encore chants and came back, like all concerts. However, after playing thier normal ending song they went on for about 8 more songs then had Abstract Rude and Blueprint come back on stage for a freestyle. It was cool. Abstract was the most believable. His lines didn't sound canned and he talked mostly about vegas and gambling.

I have a couple of really bad pics on my phone I'll put up later.

I haven't listened to any of his stuff for a while. Is the whole album like that?
Oh and what was the name of that stand up guy?
