Very cool Dave. I went to the one w/ Tribe Called Quest for like my 13th birthday , at McNichols. Terrible seats, I will never forget it though. :-( RIP MCA

Only saw the BB's at the CU Fieldhouse show with L7 (!) opening (WORST sound ever, especially for L7).

Didn't they play at Redrocks along with Public Enemy and a headlining act that I can't recall way back in the day not long after License To Ill came out?

I remember KTCL running a contest called Beastie Feastie for the Gothic show.  Winner got to meet the band and have dinner with them before the show.  I really tried to win but no luck.  Still had an awesome time that night.  Easily one of my top 5 shows ever.

Also, when Hot Sauce came out, the Beasties and Z-Trip released a Beastie Boys mega mix.  It is available for free on the Z-Trip site.  Highly recommended.  Go on ahead and download it.
