The Beastie Boys opened their U.S. tour at Festival Pier last night. Before the show in a backstage press conference, Mike D., Ad-Rock and MCA reminisced about seeing Run-D.M.C., the Fat Boys and Whodini at the Spectrum back in the day, said they were considering following up The Mix-Up, their new lyric-less instrumental album with an a capella album of nothing but lyrics, and admitted how upset they were to not be considered as Rosie O'Donnell's replacement on The View.
Tonight, the Beasties play a "gala event" show at the Borgata in Atlantic City. No flip-flops allowed. More about all this in Saturday's Inquirer. Meantime, here's the video for "Sabotage," wheich Messrs. Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch encored with at the Pier.
