Best of Intonation Day 1: Ghostface

I'm not entirely convinced this was the best musical performance of the day, but it certainly was the biggest spectacle. Ghostface and his crew were arguably the best hypemen of the festival, inciting almost non-stop audience participation. Things started off predictably enough with chants of "Wu - TANG, Wu - TANG," complete with the 'W' hand gestures. (I have to admit, seeing hundreds white indie kids chant the name of one of the hardest hip-hop groups of all time was almost more entertaining than watching the performance itself) This, along with numerous other "hands in the air" moments reigned throughout the set, but towards the end the audience participation was brought to a completely unexpected level. Suddenly, a dance party erupted on stage, with Ghostface being joined by a bevy of fine ladies who stormed in from the crowd. This is about the last scene I would have expected at a show with a Wu-Tang alumnus, but maybe this is a new, friendlier version of Ghostface? (more Casper, less Killah) Check out more Ghostface dance party pics here.
