My favourite concert was Public Enemy in 1989, which took place at Brixton Academy. I went to see them the following year at London Arena which is now Dockland Arena – the atmosphere at both venues was electric but it was the concert at Brixton stood out to me. Not because it was on my doorstep but because the size of the academy was just right to cram in enough people to feel like we were in a real gig but also enabled us to feel like we were close to PE. Chuck D’s performance was mesmerising as usual and Black people as well as white got down to a night of dancing and jostling. No other rapper comes close to me as PE – they just had that magnetism about them with powerful beats and full of positive lyrics. A lot of so-called rappers out there now could learn a lot from them. Not mentioning any names of course.

I recently went and saw Nas & Damian Marley and a guy standing beside me said it was the best concert he’d been to since Public Enemy…. So I guess you’re not the only one that loved it 🙂
