	I just saw DU in concert at Metropol April 9th and so I am posting this
as a warning to all who might be wanting to go see them at some future
date since the concert was probably the worst I have ever seen in my
life. Yuck!!	Do not waste your money by going to see this show. I threw
$20 down the drain by seeing it and this is coming from a really big DU
fan (Sex Packets is one of my top 10 picks for best rap album)
	First off, the concert in Pittsburgh was supposed to feature Gang Starr
which was listed as the opening act on the ticket. Metropol had
advertised Gang Starr as appearing. They never showed up which I
consider a valid case for a refund (though the ticket window did not see
it that way natch). Second, the concert was advertised to start at 7:00.
It must have been at least 7:20 - 7:30 before it got under way
(according to my watch which I couldn't see too well in the dark).
Original Bubbles (a local reggae artist) started the show. He sang for
all of one song then left. Another 10-15 minutes went by. Raw Fusion
came on the stage (this is Money B, and Fuze). They played two songs
both of which really sucked then left (I can't even remeber the song
titles the songs were so boring). Then Gold Money(Peewee and Big Money
from DU)  came on and played something that sounded like "If You Believe
in Having Sex" by 2 Live Crew though it wasn't half as good (and the 2
Live Crew song was bad enough to begin with!). Then they went into some
boring spiel about racism which sounded stupid, and forced and
ridiculous coming from their mouths (most of the black rap fans in the
audience took this opportunity to get a Coke) and then played some song
the title of which I assume was Nigger since that was the only word in
the song and it was terrible too (some black fans in the audience were
yelling where's Gang Starr!). They then left the stage to few cheers.
After another interminable wait DU (minus 2Pac who they constantly
referred to throughout the show) finally came on rapping Kiss Me and
I'll Kiss You Back with Shock G. The rap's sounded pretty bad. Even The
Humpty Dance (Shock G left the stage and then came back on with his
nose, as if he was fooling people) sounded boring and forced. It was
almost pitiful to see Shock G trying to swear every other word and act
like a pimp/gangster throughout the show, he even made all of Du's songs
X-rated instead of the way the appeared on the album. DU played for all
of forty minutes and seven songs, mostof which they cut short anyway.
They then left and the show was over (at 9:45!). As I was leaving I
heard a black fan remark to his friend "That show was Booty!" That about
sums it up.
