Sorry You will not be hearing " Fight For your Right" They have only played that song 14 times ever live. It was more of a joke song, at a immature age, that caught on.

I will be at the Detroit Show, I can't wait.

I wanna see some reviews tommorrow

a friend of mine saw the show in NY and said it was off the chain...

show up early... dog circus before opening act

If you have read the artcile is it dripping with sarcasm. They cannot do a full interview withour makes fools of the reporters, that do not know music at all .

" 'A traveling pageant'

Is he joking? You never can tell with the Beastie Boys. Especially after several small dogs open the show by jumping through hoops and walking on wires to carnival music.

"We should make it clear that this is not a concert tour, so much as a traveling pageant," says MCA, a.k.a. Adam Yauch. "We tried to gather feedback about the kinds of things that children are into and what came back to us was a pageant, repeatedly."

For the uninitiated, a pageant is a spectacular, colorful display or celebration.

"It involves certain kinds of dress, certain kinds of festivities, celebrations, feasts or food. I'd like to emphasize the feasts, if I might," Yauch says. "You don't just nosh, you feast; you don't just throw on some clothes, you get dressed, and these are the differentiations."

When the group eventually takes the stage, they strut, jump and flex their brand of old-school rap in bright green and yellow track suits.

The pageant action presumably kicks in during one segment when they strap on powder blue 1970s-era tuxedos and musical instruments, then run through some of their 1990s material under strings of colored light.

After years of touring and pushing boundaries, the group has to find motivation anywhere they can. It's not easy to stay fresh.

"By watching the dog show, I get inspiration," Yauch admits. "'Cause you see them and like, they don't hold back, you know? And they know how to work the crowd. They get up there and they know when to use subtlety."

"There are times when one dog will jump off the ladder and take a spill -- and that's for the team," Diamond deadpans. "You know, there's no 'I' in team. We realize when we get out there, it's a group effort, it's a team effort and we gotta leave it all on the floor, which the dogs also do."

Their greatest hits

Fans can look forward to hearing the group's biggest hits during their tour, which started September 10 in Denver. They're digging deep into their musical past -- and apparently, Aerosmith's as well.

"We go way back," Diamond says. "We do some songs from 'Toys in the Attic,' 'Rocks,' 'Dream On.' "

Yauch chimes in: " 'Destroyer' (referring to a Kiss record)."

But it's not just about recycling old hits.

"We also do some of our newer songs that we feel really proud of like, 'Dude Looks Like a Lady,' " Diamond says.

I know the dog circus is for real, but look at the name os the songs they are listing and albums,

""We go way back," Diamond says. "We do some songs from 'Toys in the Attic,' 'Rocks,' 'Dream On.' "

Yauch chimes in: " 'Destroyer' (referring to a Kiss record)."

But it's not just about recycling old hits.
