very disappointing

Its hard to express how disappointed I am. But truth be told, this really illustrates why Run DMC had to break up with the death of Jam Master Jay; prior to seeing this, the decision baffled me. After seeing the performance (term used loosely), its clear as day. First off - to answer Run DMC's own rap song question: Is it Live? The answer is a resounding "NO". 95% of the music - above and beyond rapping - is essentially straight off of the original CD. Which turns out to be a good thing, explained shortly. Your better off buying any of Run DMC's classic CDs. Run, if a little larger, still has a great voice. He tried to rap over the CD playing in the background in futile. Jam Master Jay essentially is the entire show. Without Jay, the "concert" is largely a snore-fest. I always liked Jay; I didn't know he was the most talented of the three.
