I Saw LL cool J Perform

We got backstage passes to the LL cool J and Akon concert that took place last weekend. We left strict instructions to be contacted when the international acts were being prepped to come on stage and spent most of the night at Six Degrees North having drinks till 1:30 am when Akon was sheduled to begin his set.

We got the call we had been waiting for and made our way to the polo club. We were feeling rather cool with ourselves as we were allowed to use the entrance reserved for the artists, and it was an added bonus being away from the crowd and watching the stars from a touching distance. Akon wasn't great but LL was absolutely brilliant. He performed all the classics like I Need Love, Around the Way Girl, Jing-a-ling Baby, Rock The Bells and his more recent hits like Phenomenon, Hey Lover, Headsprung, Doin' It Loungin and Luv U Better.

He was absolutely amazing and proved himself to be a seasoned performer, he gave 100% and the crowd adored him. I bumped into a couple of old friends backstage that i didn't know had moved back home, and one of them allowed me to shoot a few short clips of LL in action. He made good his promise of posting them on youtube. Here is one; once he posts the rest of them, i'll update this blog.
