Streets Of SanFrancisco... The Buddy Rich line still cracks me up.... Do you remember the old Donal Logue Cabby videos on Mtv? He was going on about a new cop show, but they commercials never mentioned when it was on... high-larious... "It's like Dan Tanna, but I can never find it." hahahah
@@Rogers_Ranger Yeah. Streets of SanFancisco... Cop show. Lot's of cars running through a steep street... It was in the opening credits... One of the scenes in the music video was taken from THAT... for sure... check it out...
1994 Lollapalooza Randall's Island NY. Beasties hit the stage while the sun went down. It was fully dark during the silence before the final verse in Sabotage. Then the bass line, the drums and all the lights and "BWAAAAHHH" and the pit was jumping sky high. One of the best days ever. It should be a holiday.
The Beastie Boys’ Sabotage is such a fascinating departure from their earlier sound, and it’s awesome that you’re experiencing that shift! To understand the significance of Sabotage, it helps to know a bit about their journey. The Beastie Boys started as a hardcore punk band in New York City in the early 1980s before transitioning into hip-hop. Tracks like Paul Revere (which you’ve already loved) established them as pioneers of rap-rock, blending irreverent humor with their sharp lyricism and beats. But Sabotage brings them full circle to their punk roots. By the time they released Ill Communication in 1994, the Beasties had evolved artistically and socially, exploring more experimental and eclectic sounds. Sabotage reflects their hardcore punk origins but with a polished, rebellious energy that channels their growth as musicians. The song is chaotic yet meticulously crafted, making it a perfect anthem for their ethos: breaking boundaries while staying true to who they are. This genre shift wasn’t just personal for them-it also symbolized their refusal to be pigeonholed as “just” a rap group. It was a bold statement to critics and fans alike, showcasing their versatility and passion for music across genres. And let’s not forget that Sabotage’s iconic music video, directed by Spike Jonze, became a cultural moment that cemented their legacy. So, when you’re stunned by the genre difference, you’re witnessing not only a throwback to their roots but also a testament to their fearlessness in embracing change. Sabotage proves they weren’t just artists-they were innovators who constantly pushed the envelope. Full circle, indeed!
You nailed it when you said you could picture people going wild to this live-what you’re describing is called a “mosh pit”! Mosh pits are common at punk, hardcore, and some rock or metal concerts where the crowd expresses their energy through aggressive dancing, pushing, and jumping into each other (all in good fun… usually). The goal isn’t to hurt anyone-it’s more about releasing raw energy and connecting with the music on a visceral level. There’s even an unspoken “mosh pit etiquette,” like helping someone up if they fall or making space if someone needs out. Given Sabotage’s chaotic, high-energy vibe, it’s totally the kind of track that gets a pit going. The fast tempo, the raw guitars, and that rebellious energy make it a perfect storm for moshing. It’s cool that you picked up on that vibe, even without knowing the term! If you ever get a chance to see a live concert performed of this song, you’d definitely witness a pit!
The writing of this song was awesome. MCA came up with the bassline before the other guys arrived for rehearsal. Mike D. Immediately loved it and laid down drum tracks. It sat on the shelf as an instrumental until Adrock took the track to Mario C’s to record. He set his mic up facing Mario and proceeded to just freestyle roast Mario like he was an enemy stifling their creativity.
Since their recording studio was the old set for the BARNEY MILLER SHOW (a 70s cop sitcom)and most of their influences are from the 70s, they recorded this video in their parking lot and the hotel across the street from G-Son studios in L.A. They kept most of the show set as original as possible, but added indoor B-ball hoop and half pipe for skating in the basement.
Saw these guys at Lollapalooza 1994 in Barrie, ON. I wish I could remember it more I was pretty wasted. And I lost my camera. This is one of the most versatile and creative musical acts to ever exist. They crossed multiple genres from punk rock to hip hop to alternative rock to electronica and had some jazz and funk elements to their sound as well. Sabotage was released in 1994 on the Ill Communication LP. It goes down easily as a top 10 track of theirs.
Yep, as long as you didn’t stop jumping till the song was done, you’d be just fine. Now kids just stand around, too cool to even move, boooooooring!!!!! Damn we had so much fun being there, (not holding up phones for a video we’d never watch again)
I do believe this was picked for best MTV video of all time some time back. I was in the Navy in Hawaii watching MTV in the barracks when this video dropped in summer '94. I remember feeling the oxygen leave the room with the reactions of my shipmates being the same. We witnessed a Goddamn miracle of modern music. My ALL TIME favorite song right here. So glad you found it too young man
One of my most solidified memories from childhood is freaking out when this video came on MTV (back when they played music videos). I wasn't alone either; MTV used to have bumps (short films the length of ads) with recurring characters, one was Jimmy the Cabbie, and his thing was reacting to new videos by talking to a fare. For this video, he was CERTAIN that it was a commercial for a 1970s-themed cop show called Sabotage that he couldn't find the TV listing for in the paper. Someone posted it on TH-cam under the title MTV Jimmy- Sabotage.
The fact they dropped this alt rock anthem as the first single from Ill Communication is still mind blowing. The Letterman live performance of is worth a reaction.
I was lucky enough to see the Beastie Boys live. They played quite a few of their songs on instruments at live shows. They would also play and record different instruments in the studio and then use those recordings as samples in their songs.
This song was on their album Ill Communication and it's my favorite of their albums. Nearly half of the album was made up of amazing instrumentals. We'd put this album on and just sit back and chill for the rest of the evening.
It can not be overstated how big of a hit this was. You could hear this on the radio like every 20 minutes. Music video on MTV several times per day. This and _Intergalactic_ let you know that the Boys were still musical geniuses.
''You know, when people get into a circle and jump togerther, i dont know if you've seen it...'' Friend, i LIVED IT. IT was a normal Saturday evening for us. lol
I was stage crew for the main stage of Wakarusa in 2011 and between sets before the headliner the came on, people in the crowd were knocking around dozens of beach balls. This song started playing and the crowd started burst into a frenzy and the balls were bouncing more erratically. A tour manager had me a 5 other guys form a line on the front of the stage to protect the artist and their equipment from the deluge of beach balls. The crowd thought we were part of the act and the intensity went past 11 with anticipation. The amount of energy that was buzzing was incredible! That was my literal 5 minutes of fame.
Please watch/listen to the following: 1. Hey ladies 2. Root down 3. Get it together 4. Skills to pay the bills 3. Car theif 4. shadrach meshach and abednego 5 Live at P.J's 6. The Meastro
Hammerstein's Ballroom NYC Concert (1996) Beastie Boys mosh pit for SABOTAGE was off the chain. Helluva show bro. One of the best LIVE performances in hip hop back in the day. Great memories, saw over a dozen of their shows.
YA it's Slam dancing! They are playing their own instruments!! Wait for Inter Glatic Planatey... they had a new sound mixed with some of there first stuff! 💣💥💣💥
Mixmaster Mike uses a Wawa pedal for guitar through his kit sometimes. he calls it the tweak scratch. Before he was in the band they were talking and he left a message with the tweak scratch on the answering machine and that's how I ended up getting the job. It was so badass they added it to the album Not The tweak scratch Well yes The tweak scratch but The actual message he left on the answering machine 🤘😎🤘
I can't stop watching your videos. It keeps sucking me in. It's entertaining, keep going. Thanks for the donation link. I wanted to shoot you some money the other day and couldn't figure out how.
This dropped in spring ‘94. I’d resisted the Beasties until this came out. I had to catch up quick! Became obsessed lol. Got to see them live that summer in Raleigh NC as part of the Lollapalooza tour. And yeah people were banging heads and moshing and all that. Your reactions get me hyped man!
good hyped up song, lyricism and a great movie too - that's why everyone said to do this one next... I can't wait to see how your musical journey progresses
Moshing is what you're talking about. If you ever decide to check out a metal performance, Pantera performing "Domination" in Moscow is the one that always blows people's minds the first time they see it. I would recommend watching Amon Amarth perform, "put your back into the oar." I've been a row pit, they're a lot of fun.
The Beastie Boys started out as a punk band in the late 70's/early 80's, then jumped in hip hop with their single Cookie Puss. They ocassionally go bask to their roots with songs like Sabotage, Mullethead, and Square Wave In Unison. They also rereleased their pre Licensed To Ill stuff on an album called Some Old Bullshit.
I'm old enough to say, here in L.A., I saw them on Debut Tour (w/ Fishbone @ Hollywood Palladium), and 3rd album tour (w/ Cypress Hill @ Universal Studios), and they busted out the instruments for the punk set, as well as MC work. We did "MOSH" to these fast songs. KEEP IT UP, DUDE
Saw them when I was 13 at Lollapalooza 94 and their set definitely rocked the hardest, harder than Smashing Pumpkins or anyone else there and as for the mosh pits it was definitely happening but chill tho I nearly got squashed being a little kid in the middle of all that. Their page in the Lollapalooza program zine was genius too, with mosh pit etiquette drawn in 60s comic book style and telling guys not to perv on girls in the crowd, I wish I had held on to that piece of history
You gotta check out their second album Paul's Boutique. Back in the day they got a lot of shit for it but it is a GEM, more on the funky side. No one can match the uniqueness of the Beastie Boys. I'm blessed to have been a teen in the 90's and saw them play live several times, they are pure magic live and played their own instruments! RIP MAC.
This B right here is a play on the cop shows from the ‘70’s. Like super cheesy. Just poking fun, having a good time. I think it’s lit!! Hip Hop at its finest.
been to several beastie boys concerts, first one was somewher 1989, then it was rap concerts, later i had concerts that were strictly instrumental, and yeah moshpits were going on
It’s called a MoshPit. Yes they played live and left bodies hehehe I grew up in Pits and am lucky I survived some (Slayer- Megadeath- Pantera) GenX was a great time to be a kid/teen/young man. Don’t dish out what you can’t take!!
There's a good video of them performing this at the 1994 Grammys. That was the first time I saw them playing their own instruments. This song was a huge cross-over hit, charting high on R&B and Rock charts...

We have joked for a very long time that the "Sabotage" video is the best cop show of the 1990s.
Still waiting for the movie for this trailer to hit the theaters.
I was particularly surprised by the guest appearance of Sir Stewart Wallace. That’s a huge get.
It was the 90s best 70s cop show.
@@MatthewMyers-dm4lq I know Beavis and Butthead were really looking forward to the whole video to show up too.
This might be the greatest comment ever.
The only punk band that became a legendary hip hop group

Letterman performance is awesome.😎
MCA. The lost pioneer. This band changed music
And they were never classically trained. All self taught.
You are gonna want to watch their 1999 live performance form Glasgow Scotland to see how hype the crowd gets. It’s on TH-cam.
Yes!!!!!
Word.
Their best performance was Letterman, but I agree with you 100%
I couldn’t agree more. One of their best live performances ever!
The Beastie Boys were a punk band before they were Hip-Hop.
I have Pollywog stew EP record...epic!!!
Absolutely and you can hear it so damn much :)
Aglio E Olio!
Some old bullshit is a good compilation of their old punk stuff. :D
The video is a spoof on 1970s cop shows like Starsky & Hutch, SWAT, Baretta, Kojak, and Hawaii Five-O.
Streets Of SanFrancisco... The Buddy Rich line still cracks me up.... Do you remember the old Donal Logue Cabby videos on Mtv? He was going on about a new cop show, but they commercials never mentioned when it was on... high-larious...

Saw them at Lollapalooza in Columbus Ohio and it was fire
St. Paul here, one of my best memories
Saw them at Lollapalooza in Miami that same year. Amazing!
The mosh pit at Lalaplooza was fucking amazing. MCA hung that bass note out for a solid 10 seconds and the pit was BOILING.
Beasties at Lolla in Chicago was a mosh pit of epic measure 1994.
I’m jealous ☹️

I literally wondered if this guy was doing a skit , but nope this is his persona . Dude you rock . Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
I saw them at Red Rocks in 2004. Easily one of the best shows of my life.
Same homie. Saw them twice at Red Rocks. Absolutely amazing.
Yes, I saw them in concert twice, two totally different shows! Both 🔥🔥🔥🔥
8:16 Yeah they definitely performed at shows with moshing / slam dancing. I saw them at Lollapalooza in 1994 and there was a big mosh pit for sure
Same same same
In the pit for this as encore in the Alamodome in 1997. I lived to tell the tale *somehow*...
So happy to see you wearing that shirt again. It's my favorite of all your shirts. It looks great on you.

Beastie Boys were all about having fun and throwing some cheesiness into their videos. Good mix of rock and hip hop together. They were awesome.
Never saw them and regret it. 3 people from different social circles all said the same thing... They are so awesome
Yes!! Their performances were amazing. The last time I crowd surfed was at one of their shows in 1998-during their punk set.
Mixmaster Mike uses a Wawa pedal for guitar through his kit sometimes.
he calls it the tweak scratch.
Before he was in the band they were talking and he left a message with the tweak scratch on the answering machine and that's how I ended up getting the job.

Not The tweak scratch
Well yes The tweak scratch but
The actual message he left on the answering machine

That dancing is called Moshing. Stands for Move Over Shit Head. Super fun. Love the channel.
Bro... how did not know that's what mosh meant? Lmao I've been in so many pits 😂
I'm old enough to say, here in L.A., I saw them on Debut Tour (w/ Fishbone @ Hollywood Palladium), and 3rd album tour (w/ Cypress Hill @ Universal Studios), and they busted out the instruments for the punk set, as well as MC work. We did "MOSH" to these fast songs. KEEP IT UP, DUDE
If you are after seeing the true glory of a Beastie Boys Concert, look for their 1999 Glasgow one!
that has it all!, even the "mosh pit" circles
I’ve been waiting for this song
Hell yeah, Beasties punch to the dome!
Saw them when I was 13 at Lollapalooza 94 and their set definitely rocked the hardest, harder than Smashing Pumpkins or anyone else there and as for the mosh pits it was definitely happening but chill tho I nearly got squashed being a little kid in the middle of all that. Their page in the Lollapalooza program zine was genius too, with mosh pit etiquette drawn in 60s comic book style and telling guys not to perv on girls in the crowd, I wish I had held on to that piece of history
Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - It Takes Two 🔥
They started as a garage thrash band....listen aglio e olio...awsome
Beastie Boys actually started out as a punk band in NYC and had a girl as a band member
You gotta check out their second album Paul's Boutique. Back in the day they got a lot of shit for it but it is a GEM, more on the funky side. No one can match the uniqueness of the Beastie Boys. I'm blessed to have been a teen in the 90's and saw them play live several times, they are pure magic live and played their own instruments! RIP MAC.
Best music video ever!!
This was also on the first Star Trek reboot with Chris Pine. its badass...
This B right here is a play on the cop shows from the ‘70’s. Like super cheesy. Just poking fun, having a good time. I think it’s lit!! Hip Hop at its finest.
I remember when this dropped. I was a Freshman or Sophmore, one of the two. 96 I think, so Sophmore. Great times before the world went bye bye.
Boogie... ya gotta say with the small sample size of their music, they have a very diverse range of styles all with varying degrees of rap/hip-hop.
THE SUGARHILL GANG - " Apache (Jump On It) (Official Video) " Old School 80's HIP-HOP and FUNK Classic Jams 🔥 highly recommend this song too.
been to several beastie boys concerts, first one was somewher 1989, then it was rap concerts, later i had concerts that were strictly instrumental, and yeah moshpits were going on
It’s called a MoshPit. Yes they played live and left bodies hehehe I grew up in Pits and am lucky I survived some (Slayer- Megadeath- Pantera) GenX was a great time to be a kid/teen/young man. Don’t dish out what you can’t take!!
Hey Boogie...Nice & Smooth "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow"... you're ears will thank you...👍
Make no mistake. That is Mike D on the drums, MCA on the bass, and King Ad-Rock on the guitar. They work this song out!
YES, Bestie Boys do have Mosh Pits in front of the stage!
Do DJ Quik "Tonite"
beastie boys were originally a hardcore punk group, bar scene NY, 1 album punk before Fight for your right
B-Boys! B-Girls! 🎶
Check out their album "The In Sounds From Way Out"
There's a good video of them performing this at the 1994 Grammys. That was the first time I saw them playing their own instruments. This song was a huge cross-over hit, charting high on R&B and Rock charts...
This was a bit of a throwback to their punk rock roots. But, that scratching on the turntable, tho!
This came out in 1994. The live on Letterman will really blow your mind.
Watch sabotage live on David letterman 1994 i think. They play the instruments live it’s awesome
Sick reaction bro!!!

@ You're right. I didn't see a good video before.
I’m gonna guess there’s been some mosh pits at beastie boys shows. That’s what they’re called. Mosh pits.
Go watch this song LIVE on The David Letterman show!
