This show served as a heartfelt tribute to their late friend and mentor, Jam Master Jay of Run-D.M.C., creating an emotionally charged atmosphere that resonated with both the band and their fans. It showcased not only their unique blend of rap and rock but also their ability to unite the hip-hop community in a moment of remembrance.
