Within seconds, the silence was shattered with a sound this grand stage had hardly ever heard. Sadly, original member Ol' Dirty Bastard (1968-2004) did not live long enough to triumph with his mates on this historic moment for both the band and for the state of hiphop music. But, other talented rappers and DJs did, indeed, get to exult in the 2008 moment: Cappadonna, Streetlife and DJ Mathematics were all on hand to add their personal touches to an already toxic brew. It proved to be a rare gathering of the Clan.
This assemblage, and the chaos it engendered, will be released when Eagle Eye Media unleashes on October 7 Wu Tang Clan Live At Montreux 2007.
This same stage hosted rap pioneers Run DMC in 2001. Now, a new generation of hiphop mastery emerges as Wu-Tang Clan makes a case both for itself as a world-class entity and its exciting permutation of the culture it represents.
Needless to say, the stageside sights and sounds hit the crowd like a hurricane. Those in attendance were clearly caught up in the moment. Between the well-known hits and the rare solo tracks (including those of their fallen comrade), Wu-Tang Clan mystified, mortified and transmogrified the usually sedate crowd into a wild frenzy.
