IKDK took on the offer of last minute tickets for the sold out Talib Kweli show at the Sound Academy. Finished off my night at Real Sports watching the Marlies unfortunately lose and scrambled over to Cherry Street. Literally just made it to the venue for Talib so apologies to the openers who I can't comment on. Everytime I end up going to the Sound Academy I start to like it. Maybe they have changed something or maybe they haven't but the Talib Kweli was bumping last night.
Super diverse crowd at this show. Everyone and anyone. Talib came on pretty late 11:30. I would guess he performed for about 90+ minutes running through a nice selection of cuts from his four albums including my fav track Hot Thing.
Kweli did some nice banter with the crowd. Talib flagged that he supposedly has challenges getting across the border everytime he comes up to Canada. Supposedly everything gets sorted as long as he pays a 250 dollars fee and then we let him in and everything is all right. Also paid a brief tribute to late MCA of the Beastie Boys and all sorts of other performers who had recently passed on.
All and All a fantastic show.
