A guest at The Garage, London on Wed, 03 Dec 2014
I was there & it struck me only whilst queuing I-forgot my Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek Sampler cassette wasn't to hand.
Of all of it I'd say a lasting impression of annoyance endures mainly because the live PA sound engineer didn't perform, Quality of sound during the performances specify at & during the dupastyles A.K.A Essa & Devise, DdotABLO, Brother Man and at the start of the 'Nico is' performances was terribly Yucky.I don't know maybe the venue should stipulate that the artists should drop whatever their doing to sound check before performing & then monitor and set their own EQ's real time during performance. Terrible what weren't the mic's and line inputs labelled? and doesn't the mixer have a pfl line 'level' indicator to see which mic and line is active & full complement of EQ dials for each line input that was o-so very wrong. The event was class, classic hip hop and illuminating! The whole line up of artists was talented skilled & masterful, the tracks performed should have been audible & the venue thoroughly enjoyable.A guest at Young & African Arts Market (YAAM) - Old Location, Berlin on Fri, 28 Nov 2014
The dj's intro was too long (and the songs he played were not adequate for this type of concert). Also, people were smoking inside the location and I was permanently expecting someone to burn me with their cigarette.
Talib & the rest of the people on stage were amazing. I loved Niko Is as well! Would definitely attend the concert again if I had the chance. Maybe another location (without smoking) would be better, though.A guest at Sound Control, Manchester on Wed, 26 Nov 2014
Humbled guy :-) Thanks for coming to Manchester Talib, great performance! ♡
A guest at The Haunt, Brighton on Tue, 25 Nov 2014
Hi, I have to say I am really speechless how we got treated yesterday in The Haunt. My partner and me are not getting out much and Talib is one of my conscious hip hop heros, so that gig was very special for me. We organized a babysitter for our little boy, even the weather was horrible we took a cab and return and it started all great. Great DJ, loved the first gig, more DJ and dancing and waiting, waiting and waiting. My partner got bored and went of to get another drink and never came back. I wondered after 10 min and looked for him but I thought he might have met someone and has a chat, another 5 min passed and I actually looked for him, couldn't find him. Looked at my mobile, missed call of him. Called him back and he said he is not allowed to get in anymore. He was outside chatting with a friend, everyone else was going in and out having a fag except him. So I don't want to pull the racist card here but I do believe your bouncers did judge him cause of how he looks. My partner is Jamaican - English he got asked if he would know if drugs got sold in the venue, why??? In the end I had to leave the venue, he was not allowed to get in to get me, he had all the cash and my bank card. It was 22.15pm and I had to leave. I spoke to the bouncers and they've been just ignorant assholes telling me nothing happened etc..yeah sure, my partner is just making up a story. I really want a statement from the management, why we got treated like that. Overall the evening was shit and we spend money for nothing I didn't even got to see Talib.
