Nearly two decades after the Beastie Boys played their final concert, Mike D is back on the road, this time under his own name. On Wednesday, September 9, Mike D brought his new project, Mike D 5D<\/a>, to Knockdown Center in Queens for a hometown stop on his first major tour since the death of Beastie Boys bandmate Adam \u201cMCA\u201d Yauch in 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The tour follows the August 28 release of Thank You, Mike D\u2019s first solo album. Joining him in 5D are his sons Skyler and Davis Diamond, along with Eddie Ruscha, Will Graefe and Milo Ruscha. What originally began as a short five-show run has since expanded into a much larger North American and European tour stretching into November.<\/p>\n

For the Queens show, Mike D mixed new material from Thank You with Beastie Boys favorites, opening with \u201cHello Brooklyn\u201d before moving into the new \u201cWhat We Got.\u201d Songs from the album including \u201cCrypto,\u201d \u201cMake It Stop,\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s Right,\u201d \u201cSwitch Up\u201d and \u201cSecrets\u201d were mixed throughout the night alongside Beastie Boys classics like \u201cLooking Down the Barrel of a Gun,\u201d \u201c3-Minute Rule\u201d and \u201cBody Movin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mike D closed the main set with the title track, \u201cThank You,\u201d before returning with 5D for a two-song encore that ended with \u201cSo What\u2019cha Want.\u201d With his sons sharing the stage and the new album at the center of the show, the performance balanced Mike D\u2019s Beastie Boys past with what he\u2019s doing now.<\/p>\n

Following Queens, Mike D 5D continues across North America with upcoming stops including Santa Ana, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Toronto before heading overseas for a run of European dates through November 5.<\/p>\n
