Titled The New York Rap Tour it featured not only Afrika Bambaataa with GrandMixer DXT on the decks but also The Fearless Four, the break dancing Rocksteady Crew, a team of double dutch skippers and as the show progressed the huge backdrop was covered in graffiti by the legendary artists Futura 2000, Dondi, Phase 2 and Fab 5 Freddy. An electrifying and eye-opening evening for everyone who attended. I was at the bar after the show had ended and all the stage lights had gone off when Afrika Bambaataa came back onstage to collect the records he had been spinning and managed to grab this silhouette of him".
