About

Beastie Boys In Concert

Some bands are bigger than music. Over the course of more than 30 years, eight albums, three Grammys, and one Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Beastie Boys have risen beyond their hip-hop/hardcore origins to become icons of American pop culture. 

Now minus a member — Adam "MCA" Yauch died from cancer in 2012 at age 47 — Adam "Adrock" Horovitz and Michael "Mike D" Diamond carry on the Beastie Boys' legacy of innovation, deep-seated musical fandom, and infectious love for life. To wit: their most recent endeavor, Beastie Boys Book, published in October 2018. 

The massive, 590-page tome is a memoir, but hardly in the traditional sense. It features first-person storytelling by Horovitz and Diamond along with contributions from Amy Poehler, Colson Whitehead, Spike Jonze, Wes Anderson, and many more, plus rare photos, original illustrations, a cookbook by chef Roy Choi, a graphic novel, a map of the Beastie Boys' New York, and mixtape playlists. The remaining Beastie Boys even did a book tour, bringing a DJ-backed, audio-visual storytelling performance to their native New York, plus Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London. 

Part of the reason Beastie Boys Book debuted at the top of the New York Times best-seller list is that the story of the Beastie Boys is perfectly emblematic of the final two decades of the 20th century. In fact, one could describe the band as the Forrest Gump of pop music (though give or take beer bashes and acid trips, it's almost certain that the Beastie Boys have always operated at full mental capacity). 

These days, hip-hop and punk rock are so ubiquitous they've become lifestyles unto themselves, but there was a time when neither existed. Beastie Boys were born into the fertile cultural melting pot of '70s New York City at the time when hip-hop and punk began to emerge, the former from Queens and the latter from downtown Manhattan. As teenagers, Yauch, Horovitz, and Diamond were at the front lines, beginning their collective careers at the same time the music was entering popular consciousness. 

From there, they coincided with the advent of MTV and, a decade later, the Internet. The Beastie Boys harnessed the most crucial cultural evolutions of their time — to define themselves, to share their enthusiasms, and to elevate their own creativity, and they took their fans with them. Those fans have remained alongside the band every step of the way, solidifying the Beastie Boys as the true voice of a generation.

    Best shows of the year

    by NYgroove on 7/9/19Kings Theatre - Brooklyn

    I was very excited to have gotten a pair of tickets to see the last Beastie Boys show, maybe ever. They were going to tell the story of the band and all of the ups and downs, make apologies, name names, etc. I was ready for this- and boy did it deliver! Not only were the stories great, and the music great, and we got to hear some much about how each album was made and some song individually, BUT they got one of NY's best comedians, Seth Herzog, to open for them. He's hilarious and he seemed to write a special set just for this show. He's was the third Beastie in this case. All in all, it was a perfect NY night!

    Excellent

    by Brenda on 4/20/19Kings Theatre - Brooklyn

    This was such a great experience! I loved hearing the stories and how songs came about. Being a child who grew up in the 80’s this was so enjoyable!

    Could've Done Without Stand Up Bit

    by V. on 4/15/19Kings Theatre - Brooklyn

    Not crazy about the old timey forced comedy/stand up bit but otherwise loved the show and story.

    Killer Show

    by J. A. on 4/15/19Kings Theatre - Brooklyn

    One of the best events/shows that I have been to in a long time. It was extremely interesting to hear the Story of the Beastie Boys from a first hand perspective. The old phots and videos really brought the story to life. I wish MCA was still here. Seeing Mike D and AD Rock made me miss them so much.

    I flew in from Norway for this, and I’d do it again.

    by Anna on 4/15/19Kings Theatre - Brooklyn

    I cried. I laughed. I sang out loud. I danced in my seat. I laughed some more. I cried a lot more. It was soo funny, full of awesome pictures, and their hilarious storytelling. Packed full of music, of course and Incredibly moving. At first I wasn’t too happy about locking down my phone in the pouch. But I’m the end I think it was the best idea!! The entire crowd was focused on the show, and only the show. The audience was all on one wave length. There were zero distractions which wrapped the show together so beautifully. I have read the book but hearing the stories told like this made them feel new and fun and not at all redundant. I wanted them to tell more! Thanks Mike and Adam ... and Yauch who was definitely there with all of us.

    Better than what I hoped

    by Smartender on 4/14/19Kings Theatre - Brooklyn

    They did their best show without instruments! Even after reading their new book, feeling the energy of them talking ya through it with photos and crowd interactions, (I sat behind a very funny Steve Buscemi) was 10x better. The emotion felt as they spoke so fondly of Adam Yauch one of the many reasons why it was so much better than reading the book. To sum it up with one word would be unforgettable.

    Dreams come true

    by G. on 4/14/19Kings Theatre - Brooklyn

    Always wanted to see the Beastie Boys in NYC. I loved the show. I don’t love the fact Ticketmaster is making me write a review for this. I was happy putting 5 stars but this seems like a bit much. So here are your 50 characters Ticketmaster.
