[@Sleeplightly]

Amazing footage, thanks for the archive

[@unanimousarts]

Damn EL-P… breathe! Lol. You can tell they were hungry then. Thanks for sharing this.

[@unanimousarts]

@8stepstoperfection7734 I was looking for it, and while I found some live versions, it was nothing of what you speak of.

[@unanimousarts]

@8stepstoperfection7734 Okay. I mean, did you maybe have the title and the date of the video? That could potentially help me find it.

[@whcchw]

Love Lens style, old-school raw cuts with flavor.

[@JingyJingJing]

Wicked footage, nice one! You also caught a Chester P and Skinnyman freestyle at the end which was gold!

[@RobinJohnstonphotography]

Wish I’d been there

[@pmproben]

That's historical material. Thanks a lot for this gem.

[@xOWARx]

Such a dope piece of history

[@lexusbruh904]

Yessssss! I really miss this era in hip hop 🎉

[@abdeljalil9244]

[@GodCee360]

Man. Those people witness this shit live and direct. Soooo jealous. Just watching it and it was fantastic. Live must of being Marvelous. The upload is truly appreciated Homie.

[@stephenneedham106]

Ha ha 90s open mics in the UK were a mix bag for real! Props to all the mcs rapping in thier UK accents 👏 and always big up the Bury and the Mad Under Dogs...... and of course Co flow big up!👊

[@RustyShacklefordIrishHipHop]

[@matthewhill5895]

Holy shit.thank you so much.

[@tommytee9002]

Nice upload! In fact super nice upload! Such a legendary trio, and how much do I miss the late 90s?!! As a head that loves hip hop globally, its crazy top see the open mic hungry bunch at the end with Chester P 2nd and then right at the end Skinnyman.

[@GodCee360]

Yo. Thanks for sharing Co Flow fan 4 Eva

[@MentPlus]

Thanks for the upload!

[@ouzsnfouaenxfgfgsgsuhoauvdjd]

Amazing

[@foarfield]

last part of tragedy of war still the dopest beat el-p ever did.

[@goonerboy93]

Proper naughty bassline and those choppy snares give it such a nice groove

[@lukakrtinic1192]

First of all,huuuge respect for this upload man...Co Flow is my favourite group of all time and Funcrusher Plus is the best album ever,by far...if you have their other shows in UK or elsewhere,please upload them too... this was before they dropped End to End Burners...such a shame they didnt last long....

[@djweston2001]

Yeah, this was when we put them on the bill for their first ever UK appearance, that weekend we also did a private show with them at the scala, a fashion shoot for dsl555, an appearance on Westwood and a few other things, I will convert and upload them at some point

[@lukakrtinic1192]

@@djweston2001 please upload that stuff bro,thats gold...there was a video on youtube few years ago,Co Flows's appearance on some UK TV show..they performed End To End Burners...I dont know the name of that show,all I remember is there was a girl hosting that show...that video is gone from youtube....maybe you know what I'm talking about...anyway,thanx a lot...peace

[@iamamythos]

[@KmT81]

Im French ,I know Company Flow since early 2002 by a school Mate ,he made me know them.We were at our early 20s ,made me listen 'Funcrusher Plus from this year 1997. They have a real special underground HIP HOP 'Space Rap'.and El-P ,the Leader produced DEF JUX and Duo Cannibal Ox few years later in the early 00s.

[@friedspecialrice]

[@clungebucket23]

This rules.... Now then, did they do any other UK dates at this time? Because I swear I saw a poster in a record shop in Nottingham with CoFlo on it

[@djweston2001]

Yes I have all the sets

[@kennydust]

@@djweston2001 Would I be able to get a copy of that? That would mean the world to me; I was a part of the group.

31:05

[@komicsreviewer8505]

2:20 didn't DoomsDay come out in 99???

[@akrazyking4723]

Dead Bent was released a few months before this show. But I'm confused about the outro with all the rappers freestyling over the Get At Me Dog, because this live show is from late 97, and Get At Me Dog came out in early 98.

[@nickpocket]

oooooh shit

[@josegrecojg]

el way off on this tho😢
