3d-alex shares:

They started 45 minutes late, just after MIA. The show was great; they played great. Only MCA seemed a little laid back. I think I heard the guys said that he had the flu, but I could be wrong. They seemed really happy to be there. All of them made a toast with some wine (or that's what it seemed) just before "Sabotage" because it was their first time playing in Mexico. In the middle of "Check It Out," they tried to make the crowd raise their hand and point their index finger and say "FRESH!" It kind of worked. The overall response was great, for a crowd that had been waiting several hours while the weather was getting colder and colder. I am pretty sure that it got to 0° Centigrades (32° Fahrenheit), maybe lower. I was happy that I finally got to see them after they canceled the shows here a few years ago.

...The sound was great. I keep reading that the sound wasn't great, but to me it was fine. It maybe had to do with my standing right next to the soundboard.

* A review by Diez a uno ("...the band's dynamic performance of 'Sabotage' was enough for Mexican fans to forgive them for ignoring their country for 20 years")
* A report at Milenio.com
* A review by La Jornada ("After a 45-minute delay, the Beastie Boys performed a funny and eclectic set that impressed the Mexican audience...There were major sound problems but the band's energy saved the concert.")
