Hoodie Allen’s Whatever USA Tour landed at Club Red last weekend and throngs of diehard fans turned up on a school night for their favorite Long Island rapper. Overall the show was definitely something I would want to see again, and recommend to anyone who’s a fan of his music.“I didn’t think the best show of tour was going to be Arizona on a Sunday but here it is.” Once his security guards helped him get back on stage, the show continued without a hitch, and ended, at around 11, with a bang to “No Interruption”.
Then, when he performed “Cake Boy”, Hoodie through an actual cake into the crowd, and while I’m sure the cake was good, I’m happy I wasn’t hit with it.Īnother highlight of the night was when a raft was thrown in the crowd, and Hoodie sat in it, and surfed the crowd.Īfter less then 20 seconds of crowd surfing someone popped the raft, and Hoodie fell down barely a foot away from where my friends and I were. Before the show people waiting in line would yell, “when I say James y’all say Franco” then go on to yell James, and people would yell back Franco, in tribute to the lyrics from the popular old song. Crowd favorites included Eighteen Cool and James Franco. Throughout the show Hoodie performed not only new songs but oldies as well. The show started off with the song, “Movie”, from the new album. When Hoodie came on stage the crowd went wild. The next act was Chiddy Bang, and while I was not previously a Chiddy Bang fan, after his act, I had the desire to check his music out.Įven though both of the opening acts had great stage presence it was clear whom the audience was waiting for. I was impressed with his voice, because he sounded exactly the same live as I remember he did back on the show. Max Schneider, previously on the Nickelodeon show “How to Rock”, was the first act. The doors opened at 7, and everyone piled into the theater, and soon the opening acts hit the stage. Meeting him made the 5-hour wait outside in the freezing cold worth it by far. Turns out my friends and I were the last people that could take a picture with him. Then, a few hours before the start of the show, at 6 the security guards at the venue let in the first hundred people. Of course my friends and I hoped we had been the first 100 people since we arrived so early, but we weren’t sure if we were.
We wanted to get there early to make sure we had good spots inside, since the concert was general admission.Ībout 3 hours before the show Hoodie tweeted out that the first 100 people in line who purchased merchandise would be able to meet him. We arrived at the venue, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, at 3 o’clock even though the show started at 8. A couple of nights ago a couple of my friends and I got the opportunity to see Hoodie Allen, one of our favorite artists, perform live.
