I was one of the lucky few who got to be at this event.

Believe me, that the crowd gave them such a reception should not be taken for granted. During the speakers, of course, but even during the breakdancing to some extent, the crowd was often fairly inattentive.

The MC had messed up a couple times, and people seemed distracted. Then the guys take stage Matt gets up with the mic... the next 5 minutes is what you see on video.

I can't say what it was like afterwords at the show, because as soon as they were off the stage I left to join the people hanging out closeby and shredding.

I truly regret missing the footbag / beatboxing on stage, but I got to see some later in Vari Hall.

Finally, props to Greenwood once more for representing to the home crowd, and enlisting good help to blow some minds. I get to play with this guy a couple times a week and he's a big reason behind my progression. Footbag!

Hell yeah yacob, thanks man, we had a blast doing it... As for me being good on the mic, I guess I'm just a natural MC

(that's a pun... yeaaaaah...)

Thanks for checking out the video. It was such a good time.

Niiiiiice work. That was really fun to watch. The format worked great with the crowd too >> by starting slower it allowed the crowd to grasp the concepts. Then, by having three different players of different styles/areas of expertise, it really showed the crowd a lot.

haha, thanks Matt, I appreciate that. That was such a great time. Adam's mentioned that there's other possibilities for this kind of show, I really hope we can do it again.

I still watch it a bunch, too.

Sorry for the 3-year bump, but I've always loved this video and the link no longer works. I am doing some demos this weekend and wanted to pull up this video in preparation. I ended up finding it on YouTube, so here y'all go.
