> Whoa. Poetry reading? Who had that? Over a DJ set?? About three-quarters of the way through May's set, Umar Bin Hassan from the Last Poets came on and did a spoken-word reading (no accompaniment from the decks). It was well-done, but it confused quite a few people -- unfortunately, he sounded *very* hoarse and was hard to understand...
I don't know who was on the conga, but that part turned out great -- he was on quite a bit during May's set, and at one point, he and May did an excellent tribal decks-and-conga duet with brief pauses every 30 seconds or so. They just kept going and going, so every time the audience thought it was over, they'd launch into it again and get an even *bigger* roar from the crowd... Number 89 in a series of at least 100 spine-tingling DEMF moments... ;> .John.
