Beastie Boys Perform 'Talking 2' Live at HOB, Las Vegas, JMJ Tribute Show
On April 25, 2003, the Beastie Boys performed at the House of Blues in Las Vegas during the JMJ Tribute Show, a heartfelt tribute to the late Jam Master Jay. This performance came right in the middle of their career revival, following the release of their album "To the 5 Boroughs" in 2004, which celebrated their New York City roots. At this time, the group was working to reclaim their legacy, with fans eager for new music after a five-year hiatus since "Hello Nasty." The live performance showcased their incredible chemistry and improvisational skills, allowing fans to experience not just their hits but their genuine camaraderie and respect for hip-hop history. Interestingly, their willingness to honor a legendary figure like Jam Master Jay highlights how their journey intertwined with those who paved the way for them, reminding us that music is often a shared experience and a tribute to those who've influenced us.
