So night at the Filmore, they  packed it to the front and back. Standing in front lights go out. You hear the DJ say Detroit are you ready for the one of the greatest Hip-Hop groups give it up for Bone Thugs & Harmony. They come out blazing like it was their first show, energy strong and hard. I loved how they just kept that going  throughout the show and they seem never gotten tired like they were still young. They did songs like E.1999, “Thuggish Ruggish Bone”, 1st of the Month, For the love $, weed song and Bone, Bone, Bone. They also did a tribute to the late “Eazy E” such as “We want Eazy”, “Eazy-Duz-it” and “100 miles a running”. Bone Thugs and Harmony also did a tribute to Nortorious B.I.G. performing “Nortorious Thugs”. When I Say this show was amazing WOW. I hope they stay together and keep giving us these hits with a new album.
