2Pac -《Live at the House of Blues 演唱会》[DVDRip]

内容介绍:
这张演唱会Live有不少人喊好，但我个人却对这场2Pac被谋杀前、人生最后一场演唱会不是最满意。虽然是在著名的House Of Blues，虽然2Pac、Snoop Dogg、Dogg Pound Gang、Outlawz等一大帮Westcoast大将全部到齐，虽然演唱了许多经典曲目，虽然现场气氛非常High，但我觉得有一点--这次现场犯了所有Rap演唱会的通病（在西岸和南部体现得尤其严重），那就是群魔乱舞--你看看舞台上，2Pac和Snoop Dogg两大主角站前面，后边站了起码一个加强排的人……当然，他们不是西岸的歌手就是Pac的三姑六婆，再不就是贴身保镖。反正都有那么点关系，非上台不可。但就是因为他们，导致舞台失去焦点--许多饶舌演唱会都有这个毛病。
　　这一点，以Jay-Z为首的Roc集团似乎都很注意，做得比较好。不过今天我们话题不是东岸。这场演唱会举行后没几个月，一代Rap天皇巨星2Pac就在拉斯维加斯遭到枪击与世长辞，这场演唱会也因此更加多了一层特别的纪念意义，并且被许多Pac迷奉为至爱珍藏。当然，我第一段的评价不是想故意挑毛病，撇开这个通病不计的话（大概是我自己太苛求），这次的现场应该说还是非常优秀的一场演唱会。 By 邪恶少年EB
The 2005 release of Live at the House of Blues is nothing to get excited about, but at least it's a legitimate 2Pac release. Well, sort of. It's legitimate in the sense that it is what it's billed as a live recording of 2Pac's July 4, 1996, performance at the House of Blues on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles though it's kind of a scam, too, because 2Pac's performance is unfortunately abbreviated at only nine songs. You see, he and the Outlawz were the opening act that night, with Snoop Dogg and tha Dogg Pound headlining. (2Pac does come out for the encore, however, joining Snoop for a performance of "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.") The packaging of Live at the House of Blues, like oh so many posthumous 2Pac releases, is shrewdly misleading. Judging from the cover of the album, you'd think Snoop and tha Dogg Pound were guests here, not vice versa. Oh well, such scamming has become par for the course with 2Pac releases, so just let it be. In regard to the performance itself, it's one of the best 2Pac live performance out there, which is good news for collectors. That said, it's still lousy. For one, the sound quality is good to poor, especially the beats, which are low in the mix. (This sounds like an audience recording.) For two, the Outlawz are very much unwelcome here. These guys detract much more than they add to the performance, always rapping, er, shouting along with, er, over 2Pac when they'd be better off keeping their mouths shut and letting the man work his magic. And for three, hardcore rap like this just doesn't translate well to a live context. It just sounds like a riot, with a lot of amped-up dudes shouting raps over muffled music while the audience roars with unchecked approval. On the bright side, 2Pac does launch a tirade against Nas here, which is pretty curious. The song is called "Troublesome," and it's a long, bitter rap over the beat to "If I Ruled the World." Then comes "Hit 'Em Up," which only furthers the tirade. In the end, if you feel inspired to check this recording out, you're recommended to watch the DVD rather than listen to the CD, because this performance seems more like a spectacle than a musical event. But don't bother doing so unless you're really feeling driven. As with the 2Pac Live release from Death Row a year earlier, Live at the House of Blues taints 2Pac's legacy more than it aids it. It's just an ugly performance, plain and simple, one that furthers the myth of 2Pac as a belligerent, death-wishing thug, certainly not the saintly ghetto poet that many folks would prefer to remember him as.
