I saw The Weather live a month or two ago and it was pretty awesome. They had some interesting video stuff they were projecting, but in between songs, occasionally the video would feature Daedelus back at "The Weather Headquarters" or something and it was pretty hilarious. Overall though, I think that Busdriver and Radioinactive were feeling pretty frustrated with the pathetic crowd. It was an early weeknight show and the turnout was weak and bodies were stiff.
Anyway, I forget the name of the guy who opened up, but him and Radioinactive did a sort of encore performance of this song "Farmer's Market of the Beast" that was on an amazing compilation from '99 called Beneath the Surface. That is the relavent information here. Go pick up Beneath the Surface. Its an amazing collection of L.A. underground rappers including Aceyalone and Self Jupiter from Freestyle Fellowship. The production on it is truly top notch.
And the Weather album *is* a totally awesome album. But I find myself liking the Busdriver solo album Temporary Forever better. That track Imaginary Places burns!
