gantrules Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 So many opinions on here I thought I'd add mine too. I went and saw Stomp yesterday at 2 so I missed most of the game. That's 2 in a row I've missed and we won both....ugh. Anyways, my mother loved it. She thought it was a great birthday present so I got huge kudos. As for me I thought it was unbelievable. Those kids up there are just so frickin talented it's sick. If anyone hasn't seen it I highly recommend seeing Stomp. And if you've got a mother who is around 50 it makes a great birthday present.

You just can't beat a story about a boy and his tree.
R. Rich Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 I saw Stomp in Baltimore back in '96. Great show! Did they do the thing where they come in wearing the big oil drums as shoes? I loved that part. I also loved the part where they made music with a bunch of discarded trash (a soda cup and straw, food wrapper, etc.).
gantrules Posted November 8, 2004 Author Posted November 8, 2004 Yes. Same material. In the program it said the show has been running since 1991. I had no idea it had been going on for that long. I was in NYC in 1998 and ran in to the original guy, with the dreads, on the street. A bunch of people recognized him and asked for his autograph and he stop and signed a bunch.

His name is Anthony Johnson. He's an excellent drummer. I don't think he was in the Stomp production we saw in Baltimore though.
