Beanstockd popped by the Snoop D-O-G-G and 311 concert on Tuesday at Philly’s Festival Pier. The sun was hot, the water sparse – but th crowd was still there. The show opened with the dramatic on-stage appearance of a giant cut-out of a marijuana leaf – the universal Bat Signal for Snoop (and pot) fans everywhere. Audience members responded in true form by lighting up their smuggled green on the spot. Guess green’s Snoop’s “thing.” The rap-artist-gone-reality-star played Live Earth Germany in 2007 (see it here), and has headlined the Rothbury Music Festival – a new wave in music that features a “Think Tank” on how to prevent climate change and save energy.
After super-hot renditions of old classics and the bizarre formation of a mosh pit in response to "Sensual Seduction", Snoop cleared out for part deux. 311’s annual "Unity Tour" brought out a die-hard fan base who moshed and raged to the sounds of “Beautiful Disaster,” “Down,” and other reggae-punk anthems over the 3-hour set. That’s a lot of toes stepped on right there. But we stuck it out, all for the chance to ride in bassist Aaron “p-nut” Wills’ brand-new 2009 Tesla Roadster, an electric car that goes from zero to 60 in under 4 seconds, and gets 135 miles to the gallon. Sign up now – and you’ll still have to wait until you’re famous to get one.
