WHAT? Band at the Classics
The Classics 4591 Allentown Rd., Camp Springs, MD 20746

02 had warned me that they would make me take off my shoes. Sure enough, all the security at the front had blue gloves on. Taking off my shoes was no big deal, but when the guy frisked me, I felt molested! They threw away my pen, so this entire entry is off the top of my head.

When I was waiting for them to start, PGSlim, who had been at the TMOTT Cookout, was there. I also recognized a percussionist from WHAT? Band had been at the TMOTT Cookout, Duce7.

The sound equipment guys there also work Familiar Faces shows: D and Paul. Paul asked me, "Are you here to scout?" (WHAT? Band on behalf of Familiar Faces).

Lady$tyle$ said hello to me. She was with Trina and some other people I didn't recognize.

WHAT? Band
First set
The line up was: Chris "The Rapper" Black (Second and Third Set), Stephan (spelling?) (male singer), Killa Cal (rapper), Michelle Blackwell (female vocalist), Rocket Rob (congas), Duce7 (percussion), 2 double keyboard players, guitar, bass, drummer.
1) Stephan-led DJ Play a Love Song - without percussion (other than drums)
2) Killa Cal-led Hold Your Drinks Up - Killa Cal gave me a shout out, Michelle arrived late and started performing right away
3) Michelle-led ?
4) Killa Cal-led Lil Wayne's Earthquake
5) Michelle-led Cheri Dennis' I Love You
?) Michelle-led Christina Milian's Say I featuring Young Jeezy
They cranked somewhat this set (after the first song), but so much more in the two sets that followed.

A girl I didn't recognize said "Hello Jordan" to me as I walked by during the break.

Second set
I didn't recognize any of the songs they performed except Stefan-led R. Kelly's Slow Wind. I was really impressed with how they worked the crowd - it was packed and the audience was really responsive, physically, and vocally with repeating chants.
The Rapper went over a song at the end of the set: "You know what I'm Looking at, you know what I like... I need action... When? Tonight! How you know what I'm looking at when you're not looking at me?"

Killa Cal said hello to me during the break.

During the break, some guy said to me, "What we want to know is, are you the police?"

Third set
They performed the song (Tonight) The Rapper went over in the second set.
I also recognized:
Stephan-led Johnny Nash's I Can See Clearly Now
Stephan-led Lenny Kravitz' Fly Away
Kim and Jay Gotti were there.
Again I was impressed with how they worked the crowd.
They had a fight during the set, which The Rapper reacted to by telling people to grow up. He also complained about how the bass drum kept going out every 8 measures or 20 seconds. He said, "You know it's not the WHAT? Band or Do Dirty."
They turned on the house lights after the fight.
The show was ended by 2 fights at the same time. They flashed the houselights to tell people to leave. It was only a few minutes before 3 AM anyway.
I saw Buffie (YoungOne/Sweet Buff) on my way out (she was also at the TMOTT Cook Out)

When I walked to my car, a guy said, "You was at the WHAT? Show? Damn, WHAT? brings 'em out!"
