*NEW VIDEO SLIDESHOW* How The West Was One - Boston (Worcester, MA)

[Ozir]

UPDATE (5.12.05 10.30am est):

Here is a video slideshow (with music) I made using the photos I took at the concert.  I used two tracks.  I wanted to use a "live" track from Game and one from Snoop.  I also wanted them both to be produced by Dre.  So I used "Higher" from the "sessions @ AOL" featuring 50 Cent and mixed live by DJ Quik.  For the Snoop track, I used the "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang" performance at Farmclub.  Enjoy...

Mac users can view this the best by installing the Quicktime 7 player (free).  It uses the new H.264 codec.

I went to the show last night in Worcester, MA... about 45 minutes outside of Boston.  I had a good seat... center... about 10 rows back.  I have a lot of pictures... I'm going to post the good ones hopefully later tonight.

The show was really good (a few glitches, but the show itself was tight).  Game was good... Snoop was great... he set it off.  Kurupt & Daz were in the house.

Here is a song list.  I may be off a little:

Oowee opened the show:
Did a couple of songs then did "Why Cry" without Snoop

Game:
Starts the show off with a little prayer "...Im Ready To Die without a Reasonable Doubt / smoke Chronic and hit it Doggystyle before I go out / until they sign my Death Certificate All Eyez On Me / Im still at it, Illmatic, and that's The Documentary!"

Westside Story
Higher
Put You On The Game
Hate It Or Love It
Where I'm From
- Smokes blunt on stage and passes it to the crowd.
- Crowd asks for "Start From Scratch"... he says he needs to be drunk to do it... has a bottle of Henney brought to him... drinks about a fourth of it... brings out lo lo bike...
Start From Scratch

Dreams
- Mic problems... his mic was either turned off or it stopped working... I'm not sure if they killed his mic because of the blunt pass earlier... but he basically refused to get off the stage until they fixed his shit...


after about 20 minutes...
How We Do
- After he finished his set, he came out into the crowd and basically walked down some of the isles.  Obviously he was mobbed by all the people.  He obviously had security with him and a camera dude behind him... I got a good pic of him... you'll see later.





Game took a few subtle shots at 50 Cent and G-Unit.  Nothing direct but shit like "kick me out of G-Unit?... shit, I put in my dues!"... or something like that.  Plus, at one point, someone threw a G-Unit hat on stage and he said "Ah fuck that" and threw it back out into the crowd.


* There was a good hour between Game and Snoop... shit took forever. *


SNOOP:  All the rest of the pics below.

Snoop rocked it!  Game was good, but Snoop was a hundred times better... plus he had Daz, Kurupt, Soopafly, DJ Jam, Battlecat, Uncle June Bug, The Bishop, & The Snoopadelics with him.

Snoop's set starts with a little movie "Corleone's Revenge"... where he gets set up by this chick... he escapes after blasting her...

Peace.

Here are all the pics.  If they ain't loading right, click here:

^The stage when Oowee came out.

^Banner comes up and the DJ starts hyping the crowd.

^A closer look.

^The crowd... They knew all his lyrics.

^Games comes out with the red hoodie, red rag covering his face, Red Sox hat, and black wooden baseball bat.




^Crowd going crazy.


^He did Start From Scratch and Dream sitting on the bike... before he started doing Start From Scratch he said he needed to be drunk to do it because he was drunk as fuck when he wrote it and put it down.  He told a little story about how that track came about.  He said he was drunk as fuck because Billboard had just died.  He goes to the studio late at night and Dre kicks him out... tells him he's too drunk.  Game tells Dre that he can do the work, but Dre still kicks him out the studio.  Game goes to the parking lot and sits in the car and writes it out.  After a few minutes, Dre goes out and calls him back in.  And that's supposedly how that track went down.


^Throwing up the "b" onstage.

^Sitting between the monitor speakers, refusing to leave the stage until his mic was fixed.


^Finishes with How We Do


^His set ends with a bang

^Game does his "crowd walk".  Check out the fatty groupie about to eat his ass.  Fool looks scared... LOL.

^Close up... check the butterfly tattoo.  Funny how people ignore the 50 other "gangsta" tattoos he has.  BTW... that chick on the celly is the devil.



^Snoop D O Double G!

^Snoop set it off!  His performance was off the hook.  Here you can see Battlecat on the lower tables and DJ Jam on the upper tables.



^The Bishop doing his thang on stage.

^Biatch!  Daz on stage.

^Daz, Snoop, Soopafly & the Snoopadelics playing live in the back.


^Daz, Snoop, & 2Pac!... Check the lower right corner.  Dude was wearing the rag like 'Pac.  Snoop even pointed him out during his performance.  Lil' 2Pac.



^Fat ass Daz looking like a zombie from the "Crip"

^I fuckin' love this photo.  DPG reunited!  Daz, Kurupt, Soopafly

^Kurupt flowin' like a muthafucka and Soopafly is like "damn... this fool can rap."



^Kurupt wearing a shirt that says "Kurupt" accross the front and a big ass "60" on the lower right.

^Snoop controlin' the crowd.

^Kurupt is straight throwing it up!



^Snoop & Oowee - I thought Snoop quit smoking?    I don't know who the guy on the right is.

^THIS IS MY FAVORITE PHOTO I TOOK THAT NIGHT.  It just looks right.  Kurupt was feelin' it.

^This is the funniest photo  .  Shit just looks wrong.  It looks like Kurupt is about to tap Snoop on the ass and Daz is like "WTF?".  LOL.  Kurupt was really "walking" and the angle I caught it in makes it look bad.  But I still don't know what Daz' lazy ass is doing.

^Bringin' the "Gin & Juice" out.

^Snoop: "I can't hear you."

^Drop It Like It's Hot

^After the show... Battlecat taking down some of his equipment.

Propz on the review. Did Game and Kurupt go back and forth freestylin?

[Ðøšïå]

damn props. sounds tight.

[Ozir]

Nah... actually after Game finished his "crowd walk" he was never seen again.

When he first came out he said he was "sicker than a muthafucka" but would do his whole set.  His voice did sound like he was kinda sick.
