Venue: Rock City Nottingham
Date: 24 June 2014
Support: Ugly Duckling
Hard to imagine that it's probably 17-18 years ago that I first heard of Jurassic 5 with the still amazing Concrete Schoolyard, that Ike Turner sample is still one of the best samples ever in my opinion and the song still sounds out as an unbelievable piece of work.
Hard to imagine then that after all that time this would be the first time I would see them live after a hiatus they were back to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
First up Ugly Duckling must admit I didn't really know much about them although the name was familiar they did a great job of getting the crowd hyped for J5.
It was J5 time!! the stage was set a giant turntable in the middle of the stage Cut Chemist on one side and DJ Nu- mark that alone would be enough for me but throw in the rest of J5 and what a show.
Rapping in perfect sync with each other playing for a good two hours, one of the loudest crowds I have heard at Rock City, J5 smashed it out of the park.
One highlight for me was Cut Chemists version of smoke on the water on a turntable guitar.
