Alive As Yesterday: 1986 Concerts

RAISING HELL TOUR '86

Municipal Auditorium

"All Hell Breaks Loose at a Run-D.M.C. 'Raising Hell' Rap Concert in California: 'I am great--get it straight--that`s what I say--my name is Run--I`m number one--that`s how I rate.'  Run-DMC, the biggest group in the history of rap music, is largely responsible for the style`s transition from an inner-city cult following to a nationwide popular audience.

The group`s third album, Raising Hell, is the first double-platinum rap album. The album made the Top 10 of the Billboard charts. Run-DMC also had a hit single in the Top 20, Walk This Way

The Raising Hell tour, a 45-city arena series headlined by Run-DMC and also featuring rappers Whodini and L.L. Cool J, has sold out across the country. The tour also generated tremendous controversy after gang violence erupted outside concerts in New York, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta. 

The fiercest violence, though, occurred inside the auditorium at Long Beach, Calif., on Aug. 16, when 300 gang members savagely attacked the audience with broken chairs.  The concert was called off before Run-DMC took the stage. 

Only two years ago it was inconceivable that rap music would attract this kind of nationwide attention." (Chicago Tribune)
