If I had any notes to offer that would have put this show over the top, it might be the somewhat schizophrenic encore. But pairing “Big Black Furry Creatures from Mars” with say, “Sabotage” as a nod to MCA (who also would have turned 60 this year, on August 5th) would have been too much to handle on Night 1.

Lovely way to wrap the recap season, thanks David.

Worth noting that the Beastie Boy's MCA would have turned 60 on August 5th this year—born just a few weeks before Trey—had he not passed away from cancer back in 2012, the last time they performed Sabotage. Got to think that might have been going through their minds. Or maybe they read my forum post last month with the request!

Solid summer performance this year!

@andrewrose, I recall that you also mentioned this in your recap of Bethel Night One, quoted above. Solid call.
