Dah Shinin' Smif-N-Wessun
20th Anniversary
I just got the privilege of seeing Smif N Wessun perform at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto; celebrating the 20th Anniversary of "Dah Shinin'". I didn't make it in time for the opening acts...but got there just in time to bump into Tek by the bar and got my vinyl signed before he was due on stage. As Buckshot was hitting the stage with classic joints....I couldn't help but feel a overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. The security was tight and I almost got thrown out for lighting a spliff....but was quick witted and avoided being ejected from the venue. As Smif N Wessun hit the stage I was past tipsy and felt like I was back in '95....They performed all the classic joints with a dash of some recent work. I threw together a highlighted clip of the performance(which can be found below), but despite being in the front row....they ran thru the crowd and performed "Sound Bwoy Bureill" standing on a bar in the back corner....after the show Smif N Wessun hung out to sign shit and take pictures with fans...I got steele to sign my vinyl before I bounced. Overall the show was great and it was the best ten dollars I ever spent....Mind you, I got my ticket the first week they went on sale and people were paying twenty five dollars at the door.....
Steele got ink'd up just before the show by Toronto's very own Scoot Mason
