BEASTIE BOYS - Live Performance at Bell Center, Montreal with Mix Master Mike Intro
In late 2006, the Beastie Boys were riding high on the momentum of their critically acclaimed album *To the 5 Boroughs,* which had been released in June of that year. This marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing their unique blend of hip-hop and rock, while reinforcing their New York City roots. The live performance captured in Montreal on November 30, 2006, provides a vibrant glimpse into their on-stage energy and commitment to innovative sounds. Interestingly, this show featured Mix Master Mike as their DJ—a key collaborator who helped shape their signature showmanship. Not only did this performance occur during a period of rebirth for the group, where they returned to their hip-hop roots after experimenting with different styles, but it also underscored their ability to electrify audiences worldwide, proving that their music transcended mere trends and resonated deeply with diverse crowds.
