Digable Planets was completely dazzling. They came to the stage, introduced themselves, and immediately jumped into their hit single, "Daytona Beach Jams", and the trippy, warped urban beat began blaring, with jazz fusion drumming, and hip hop, sample based production highlighting the great poetry delivered by the vocalists.
I began to get the vibe that this band wasn't an ordinary hip hop group; the crowd around me actually seeming pretty similar to people who you would expect at an avant garde show or a poetry slam, I felt relatively comfortable, and began to pay more attention to Digable Plant's modernist sound.
The poetry felt like it was speaking to me, and the high energy music was giving me a great buzz. I felt excited to listen to what they had to say, and the rest of the crowd was even more intent, obviously familiar with who Digable Plants were. I really got the vibe that who this band was and what they stood for was important to a lot of people. Overall, they were a great experience. Digable Plants was among one of the most inspiring, unique shows I have gone to. I left feeling stimulated and tired from jamming a little bit too hard.
