I started going to Bluesfest back before they moved to the City hall location, when your main stage headline clould be an Al Green or a Smokey Robinson (both of whom I say put on dynamite sets). Nowadays, the giants of soul are largely out of the game - though wouldn't it be nice to see, say, Syl Johnson? - and in its place are the giants of dubstep (not really quite my cuppa) and a lot more rap. I don't listen to it a lot, but I'd say this years's hip hop heavyweights made for a really solid lineup, not just of big names liek Snoop Dogg and up-and-comers such as A$AP Rocky, but some old-school heads like Chali 2Na. The former Jurassic man brought a live band with him and put on a super set for a pumped-up crowd.
Chali drops some prehistoric science; Corey Cofield plays 7-string bass.
The whole lot, including ace Michael Jackson impressionist Anthony Brewster on keys and Pete Antunes on drums.
Extra 2Na!
Rhythm section action!
More Brewster!
Bonus Antunes!
Audience participation action!
Then I headed off to catch some zydeco.
