Run-DMC Tickets

Hype show of the summer. Loved it. They need to come back next year

RUN DMC showed up and showed out! The performance was everything I remember from the early 90's! I was glad to see Rev Run be that guy from the true hip hop days!!

Run DMC weren't on the stage long enough. I wish they cane alone and utilized the entire time. By the time you really got moving out was over! They performed longer when they were at DTE 2 years ago.

It was my first time at Chene Park, absolutely stunning with beauty, theYachts on the water, the sound system, the big screens on both sides of the tents, I will be back again. Run-DMC and Rakim put on a phenomenal show! "THEY MOVED THE CROWD!"

The whole concert was incredible!!! The old skool showed up and out!

This concert was everything and then some!!!! If you grew up in the original hip-hop era, you felt like a kid in a candy store. Everybody came out and did their thing, it was great to be able to rap along with the artists. There was nothing but love!!!!

Detroit love old school Sounds, they gave a pretty good show,every piece of adidas gear,shoes,tee shirts,was sold out in every Detroit store,that let you no we love run dmc, the night was beautiful off the water looking at the boats,

Show was amazing, they started on time. They kept the crowd entertained between acts and it was a nice venue. If you are a fan of old school rap do yourself a favor and go.

Omg best old school concert ever they started on time and didn't have a lot of unknowns performing for them. Loved it.

Amazing Show Did not care who they came with but over all great show

The concert was dope!!! Run DMC was like old times .... they haven't lost a beat!

This was the livest concert I been to since 1988 they need to come back next year with Public Enemy

Not gonna wax philosophical! But, lets just say that EPMD, RAKIM & RUN D.M.C. definitely DID NOT Disappoint!

Really no way to describe it. Run DMC did their thing

It was the greatest show ever. I am glad i didn't miss it.

This was a great event and I have attended both of the first two years and am looking forward to learning who the next line-up will be for next year which I think should include the Geto Boys for sure. They are Houston afterall.

When I bought tickets for the Boom Bash 2 Festival, I knew it was going to be a good show, but I didn't realize just how good. I heard Naughty By Nature put on a clinic of a show on SiriusXm Backspin one afternoon, broadcast live from Washington, D.C., so I knew they were going to be good. I've also seen MC Lyte popping up in a lot of places lately, and she always brings her A-game, so I knew she would kill as well. And I've seen Rakim a few times, and he's always dependable. But everything else was up in the air. Would Daryl Mac's voice be as strong as it used to? I'd seen a lot of interviews in the last several years where he could barely talk, so that was a question mark. Could Bone get it together and put on a show where they were all in sync? Over the years, various members have had various problems, especially Bizzy, so this was a concern. And I'd never seen DJ Quik before, so I had no idea how he'd be. I shouldn't have worried. The whole show was solid, top to bottom. We got there about an hour after it was supposed to start, so we missed Monie Love, if she was there. And we only caught the last part of the last song from MC Lyte, but she sounded good. After that, it was DJ Quik. I knew a few of his songs, but I wasn't a big fan. He was solid. After that, came Naughty By Nature. Like I said, I had heard them on Ed Lover's Backspin station, so I knew they could rock a party, and they delivered. Treach paused a few times to get deep, and that was cool, too. But for the most of their time, they were bringing a non-stop block party. They played all of their hits, plus a medley / tribute to Biggie and Pac that brought the house down. Now, the place was getting turned up. Next was Bone. All I can say is, "Wow." They were so together, it made you wonder how many hours a day they had to practice. Harmonizing and mirroring on lyrics so fast, most people can't even understand what they're saying without lyrics or a screw tape. And they never missed a word or a beat. Not only that, they also had a middle section of the show where they paid tribute to the late-greats - Eazy, Pac, and Biggie - by playing a few verses from each ("Boyz In the Hood," "California Love," and "Juicy"), and then they segued from "Juicy" into "Notorious Thugs," and the place went wild. While every artist at this show was great, I think Bone may have been the highlight. Then came the moment everyone was waiting for: Run D.M.C. What can I say? They're legends for a reason. I saw so many classic Run D.M.C. shirts at the show all day, I knew they were going to get love from the crowd. But when they came on stage and launched into "It's Like That," the place exploded. They were on fire. For the next 15-20 minutes, it was a non-stop barrage of old-school hits. After that, it slowed down a bit. You could tell Rev Run was getting a little tired - he is over 50, and their songs require a lot of energy - but they kept giving the crowd the hits, in between signing memorabilia for the audience and talking with the crowd. My only complaint is that the talking went on a little bit too long in places. They had two DJ's (one was Jam Master Jay's son), so why didn't they lean more on their DJ's? Have them spin an old school mix or two in between songs (with snippets of other classic artists's songs like "The Message," "La-Di-Da-Di," "The Breaks," etc.). Run DMC did have one DJ set from Jay's son, where he played a tribute to Houston Hip-Hop. I just think they could have done some more of that, and people might have liked it more than listening to Rev Run talk for sometimes up to five minutes at a time. No disrespect to Rev Run, but it just would have been more entertaining. Anyway, the show was still amazing. After that was Rakim. Rakim is not the kind of artist who interacts with the crowd much, so a lot of people left during his set. The people who were left, though, were digging on his show, grooving, nodding, and rapping along to nearly everything he played. He is a legend, and just like with any Rakim show, it was obvious why - he's got better mic skills than 90% of MC's out there, past or present. And if that's what you came to see - a great MC killing rhyme after rhyme - Rakim will give you your money's worth and leave you paid in full. Anyway, from beginning to end, this was one of the best tours I've seen in the last few years - definitely the best of the year, so far. I got my tickets for $25, which is crazy when I think about it, because I would have paid anywhere from $15-30 for any one of these artists individually. Talk about a deal. And H-Town's own Bushwick Bill even showed up to drop a verse or two. Seriously, if you get the chance to go to another Boom Bash, don't sleep. This was a party that rocked everybody out of their seats. Oh, and one more thing: Ed Lover was hilarious, as usual. Can't wait for next year.

This concert was AMAZING! I was on my feet the entire time!

Run DMC showed that they still know how to rock a crowd, and should have been the headliner. Rakim is a great MC but I think he works better in a club or small venue and not the festival type show. I was really excited to see Bone Thugs, but they should have stuck to just the hits, and not do 20 minutes of songs that no one knew. All in all, I still appreciate Boom 92 putting on a show with a great line up. Maybe we could move Boom Bash to October or November next year, the heat really starts to get to you after 7 hrs.

Great concert, I thought the line up was disrespectful Putting Bone on after Quik
