I feel obligated to say I was a disappointed last time I saw the X-ecutioners and Pharcyde (at different shows). It was back in '97 when they had to drop the X-Men name and came out with their first album X-pressions. I saw them live with Common and they used turntables as true musical instruments. At the Scratch Tour last year, however, it seemed like they lost their focus as they performed some tired old routines. The Pharcyde show was little better, as the only survivors are Bootie Brown and the other guy. They show their age by being out of breath but they will always get nostalgia points from me.
