                      From poland, we took a flight over to Copenhagen Denmark and then drove out to a place called Roskilde to join the Roskilde Festival

                      This was the LAST day of the 4 day festival which encompassed all types of music - Radiohead, Judas Priest, My bloody Valentine, Neil Young, THe Chemical Brothers,and SLAYER - to name a few.

                      On this final day, Jay-z and the roc boys took center stage - and by this time, the crowd was pretty freakin crazy. Among other things I would end up seeing - A group of folk doing a drunken ring around the rosy - with the end result being one of the girls in the group droppin her pantalones in the middle of the circle and a guy holding her up, while she peeed on the floor. Oh you crazy europeans ;)

                      One of the other things that happened was our 1st HIT OF RAIIIN. Now usually , these festivals are mudfests , and the jay's production warned us that it would be a wet affair. Luckily we were 2 weeks into it and didn't really get any stormy clouds.

                      BUT for this gig we did, and as an homage to the rain, jay-z had the ROC BOYS perform PRINCE's PURPLE RAIN. An instrumental version of course. Tooo bad I couldn't find a Youtube clip!!!

                      Peep the video for that denmark festival feel....
