A pic’s worth a thousand words…normally. But when DJ Premier rolls out the red carpet, and you just happen to be India Bambaataa, things get a bit “I wish I was there’ish”. Great times with good friends. This would have been the best concert experience even if I didn’t have the VIP access. You can read all about the classic hip-hop reunions and surprise guests all over the net. Here’s what things looked like from where I stood…

DUMB shout outs to Gordon, Travellin’ Matt, MOP, Maseo, Primo, Bambaataa and everyone else that made the Bells Rock backstage.
