He's playing down the street from me next week. I'm on the fence about going. I saw him once maybe 15 years ago. He deliberately waited until about a half hour before the club closed to come on stage, and showed up with no DJ and no music. He had to borrow one of his own CDs from the audience and then rap along to it. It was super strange, but then again, it's Kool Keith so I don't know what I expected. I'll admit his freestyling was great, but it didn't quite make up for forcing everyone to stand around for three hours waiting for him to perform. The only saving grace was that DJ Qbert opened for him and was incredible. However Qbert only had like an hour set, hence the long break.
Worth adding that the upcoming show has like 8 other acts for some reason, none of whom I'm interested in. But I can kinda picture him doing the same thing - waiting until the last second and then performing for 15 minutes and leaving. Curious if anyone has seen him recently that can say otherwise.
