Beastie Boys Live at Bonnaroo: 'Sabotage' Performance
In June 2009, when the Beastie Boys took the stage at Bonnaroo, they were riding the wave of their latest album, "To the 5 Boroughs," released back in 2004. During this period, the legendary trio was still basking in the glow of their pioneering contributions to hip-hop and rock, showcasing their unique blend of genres that fans had grown to love. Interestingly, "Sabotage," the song performed live at Bonnaroo, remains one of their most iconic tracks, known for its high-energy riffs and powerful message. The 2009 performance marked a significant return to the live scene after a few years of relative quiet, not to mention it came just before their hiatus and eventual road to their final studio album. It’s thrilling to think that, even more than two decades after their debut, the boys could still electrify a crowd like that! The fervor of their Bonnaroo set really encapsulates their enduring legacy in music.
