The amazing SPEECH and ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT in Atlanta on January 13.The show also featured famed HEAVY D and the BOYZ DJ EDDIE F, as it was a getting together of the minds, hearts, souls and bodies.
Then PE headed west playing the famed Ventura Theatre where they performed 2 1/2 hours in a fully electric show followed the next day in downtown Los Angeles at a 10 am press conference then free performance at SKID ROW LA, the largest concentration of homeless people in the USA.
From there the RED,BLACK, and GREEN machine jetted down to San Diego and played another 2 hours , where Chuck D lost his voice by the end of the weekends workload but the crowd enjoyed all the rest of the Enemy on point.
