NYU mystery concert featuring Big Boi & Dr. Dog !

This year, Big Boi from Outkast headlined NYU's mystery concert held at the Skirball Center inside the Kimmel Center.  He played for more than an hour and went through a ton of hits including material from both Outkast and his solo projects.  The best part of the show was when his 8 year old (?) son came on stage and danced for 3 songs in the middle of the show.  So much energy and definitely one of the most fun concerts I've been to in months.  A nice way to start the school year again and oh yeah...it was free!

The band Dr. Dog started off the show with a great performance of their catchy rock style.  I never really listened to them before but I am definitely going to start to.
