If you missed out on the other two times Gza performed his classic album Liquid Swords, here’s your chance to make up for it. Too bad the other Wu comrades don’t get the hint and do the same thing. Raekwon? Ghostface? buy tickets

Gza Performing Liquid Swords in NYC [video of entire show]

Full concert footage courtesy of Sit Down Stand Up from one of the Gza shows in December. Solid audio and video quality although the player loads a little slow for me but maybe that’s just my computer. And if ya can’t sit down for the whole one hour performance, you can view it track-by-track. Hopefully, everyone also checked out all the footage I uploaded on our yout*be channel a few weeks back. Link (via)

The good folks over at AOL/Spinner bring us a fully captured experience of the December 14th 2007 GZA concert at NYC’s Knitting Factory. 23 homies on stage, 30 songs deep and a tribute to ODB, it’s all there. Watch the full concert below, and for a track-by-track experience where you can skip between songs go over to AOL Music/Spinner.

Recorded this at last week’s Liquid Swords show. I just finished uploading 30+ videos to our yout*be channel so be sure to check that out and subscribe! And I don’t care what anyone else says. 8 Diagrams is way better than Big Doe Rehab. Headz ain’t ready! Link

I recorded this at the recent Gza show. The acapella is serious. He reveals some things Ol’ Dirty Bastard went through while in prison. RIP ODB. Like always, if you’re feeling the video, be sure to check out and subscribe to our yout*be channel because I got about 15-20 more videos to upload from these two shows alone! link

Another night, another packed crowd. I got there kind of late again but still managed to have a decent enough view, even among all the trees. Being a short Asian guy sucks sometimes. As I wormed through the masses trying to establish my position, Prince Paul’s son was DJing on stage. If you’ve never seen a picture of him, just imagine his dad except maybe twenty years younger. No joke. Gza pretty much performed the same set as last night except with one or two less acapellas. And even though Killah Priest wasn’t able to attend, Dreddy Kruger and Popa Wu held it down for him. It also felt like the set was a bit shorter and more focused. Last night, performances of Liquid Swords tracks were intertwined pretty randomly it seemed with older cuts and a bunch of solo material. Tonight, he did some Liquid Swords songs, then solo stuff and then finished it off strong with the rest of the album. Either way, it was dope.

I don’t have much else to say about the show except I had the chance to speak with G The Promoter for a bit. Along with being a really cool guy, he’s been doing promotions for the Wu-Tang Clan ever since the early 90s. So whenever you hear, see, touch or even smell anything Wu-related, chances are G The Promoter had something to do with it.

Like last night, I got dope videos processing so check ggtv or our yout*be channel for that.

This was actually the first time I’ve seen Gza headline a show. The only other time I’ve seen him rock a solo set was opening up for Method Man. Needless to say, it was great stuff. One of the first things I noticed walking into the venue was the amount of people already there. Usually, the floor isn’t packed until the act is almost ready to come out. But Wu heads are hardcore like that so I should have expected it.

After DJ JS-1 spun some records (or MP3s) for a bit, Gza came out with Killah Priest, Dreddy Kruger and Popa Wu at his side. And he went straight into the performance of the album albeit not in any particular order. He also kicked some verses from other classic albums like Enter The 36 Chambers, Wu-Tang Forever and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Mix in a few dope acapellas (note: ODB acapella= amazing), a mini-rant about that 50 Cent video and Popa Wu dancing and enjoying himself on stage and you’ve got the ingredients for a great show.

Like always, I got dope footage of the show and it’s being edited as we speak so check back for that! If ya can’t wait that long, wet your appetite over at ggtv or on our Yout*be channel.
