Yeah so I think there really is no comparison to how Lauryn is now to the Pinkpop video in 99. Lauryn now is just str8 wack. And I am the ultimate die hard fan, but am definitely not falling for the wack stuff she's been displaying of the last few years. And you cant blame her wackness on her being an evolving artist, Heck yeah I want to hear the same shizz as to what was on the record, PEOPLE WANT THAT!!! And if Lauryn aint willing to give that and act like she's soooo superior then she just needs to stick to motherhood. Seems like someone put a hex on her with their witches voodoo years ago. She is just not the same person. And for all those saying they would rather the NOW Lauryn over the yesterday Lauryn! WTF Are you serious!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH How many more years is she going to be doing, 'Killing Me Softly, Ready or Not and Doo Wop' Shit!!!! She was definitely not a highlight of this round of Rock the Bells. Dam and folks are saying she was alot better than last years RTB, Crikey... Haw man.... People like you are probably the reason why we don't have new music from her! I can't believe you liked her once..... How can you say that sh*t ?! "stick to motherhood" ..... Qu'est-ce qui faut pas entendre! |

Over the Weekend Saturday: Lauryn Hill Delivers the Encore of the Summer at Rock The Bells By Tamara Palmer Mon., Aug. 29 2011 at 11:11 AM Gil Riego Lauryn Hill at Rock the Bells Rock The Bells August 27, 2011 @shoreline Ampitheatre Better than: Not getting to wander among four stages of music. Live hip-hop festival Rock the Bells returned to the Bay Area for the fourth time this past Saturday. This year's edition featured the greatest sprawl yet, expanding beyond the main grounds into Shoreline's premium parking lot. There, two stages were set impossibly close together -- so near that, at times, they took on the collective effect of a rap remix of "Dueling Banjos." With more than 30 acts scheduled and the four stages running pretty much simultaneously, we probably weren't alone in feeling occasional conflicted moments of wanting to be in two different places at once. What to do when one's favorite classic album from the Wu-Tang solo camp is happening at the same time as that hot new Southern rapper? That could be called a good problem to have, and it made us feel more spoiled for choice than upset, though we only saw a fraction all of the music that was there for us. Still, those who were into lyrical warfare could spend the first part of their day at the stage helmed by leading hip-hop battle league Grind Time Now. The Wu faithful could stay put at the 36 Chambers stage all day. Those into more emerging artists could hover in the vicinity of the Paid Dues stage. And the masses would be more than content to park on the lawn or in the seats for the main stage's continuous live presentations of classic hip-hop albums. It is a testament to the continuum of the genre that this festival can curate a bill of older artists with newer up and comers and communicate across an audience that spans generations. And it didn't feel like some sort of oldies vs. newbies affair, either. The verve and energy we saw from Cypress Hill as they shouted out local marijuana growers and served up the blunted beats of Black Sunday cuts "Hits From the Bong" and "Dr. Greenthumb" were also apparent when we rushed from there to watch Mississippi's Big K.R.I.T. and Slaughterhouse -- the latter a Voltron-esque super-group of rappers (New York's Joell Ortiz, New Jersey's Joe Budden, Detroit's Royce Da 5'9, and Long Beach's Crooked I) signed to Eminem's label and poised for larger recognition. From both the crowd and the performers, we felt the air of electric relaxation. S et against a backdrop of books and giant platters, Lauryn Hill's presentation of her 1998 debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill seemed to go by in a flash, partially due to the quicker, funkier, and more insistent arrangements that Hill and her band performed. She'd often gesture urgently with her arms to her players, commanding them (we suppose) to play harder, bolder. And so they did, forming a well-oiled and tuned 10-piece ensemble (including three backup singers that sounded like six). We marveled at the stamina and energy of Hill, who gave birth to her sixth child in July, but we had no idea that she hadn't really taken off yet.
One aspect of performing albums live in their entirety is that the sequence of the songs often means that the most popular track is going to pre-emptively fall early in the set, and so we felt a twinge of disappointment when Hill hit "Doo Wop (That Thing)" as the fourth song. That turned out to be misguided, but a lot of people missed it, streaming out and to their cars before waiting for the encore.
We also typically fight the urge to escape moments before the end to avoid a lengthy parking lot exit, but something told us to stay put. And just when we thought the harsh house lights would be thrown up, Hill and band returned to deliver the encore of the summer (we might say century, but we'll put the hyperbole on hold for now).
She didn't just return to the stage, she basically ran back to the stage, drawing on some reserve of dynamite-packed energy that she didn't have earlier to set off the songs that her fans really wanted to hear but didn't think she'd touch: hits from her former group, the Fugees. She sang a reggae-tweaked version of "Fu-Gee-La" and a hyperspeed take on "Ready or Not," jumping up and down through both, and then brought Nas back for their 1996 duet "If I Ruled the World."
Prior to Hill, Nas had seemingly filled every seat with a body waving at least one hand in the air for the duration of his 1994 debut album Illmatic and subsequent hits such as "Hate Me Now," "One Mic," and "Made You Look." It was all executed under the skilled hands of DJ Premier and a backdrop of benches and project buildings meant to represent Queensbridge Houses, the NYC project where Nas grew up. "Ain't nobody f**k**g with this woman right here," he later exclaimed, arm in arm with Hill. "Nobody!"The mean man at the side of the stage drew his fingers across his throat as Hill begged, "One more, one more, one more!" He shook his head no, and the band launched into Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved." Critic's Notebook Personal bias: Had the benefit of great seats at the main stage, though the loud audio system and big set designs of Nas and Lauryn Hill hopefully ensured good views and sounds even on the lawn. By the way: We missed the set from Oakland's Souls of Mischief, but thanks to YouTube user hxcxian we can watch them performing the title track from the classic 93 'Til Infinity. They sound as energized as they did 18 years ago, but one of their young sons dancing in the background serves as a reminder that a generation has passed since that album dropped.

Great performance! I just wish she would quit heckling the band. I know she is like a director, and the band is her orchestra, but home-girl is missing her notes left and right. She couldn't even flow right during the rap verse, and that's irritating, because it's supposed to be the most exciting part. She said she's going for a more "spontaneous", jazz-like style of performing, but the constant hand movements and extra-attention on the band takes away from the song IMO. |

Final Hour If I Ruled The World Guys, I keep listening to Final Hour over and over again. I'm so happy that she changed her mind and added back in the arrangement from the Winter Tour. It's such an improvement to the song and really makes the song have an epic feel. Also look at the stage presence she's giving on that stage running back and forth. She is owning that stage. That's why I refuse to listen to people who say that she was horrible at the SF show. That video is proof enough. I deconstructed the song here: mymajesticpage.blogspot.com/2010/12/ode-to-ms-lauryn-hill-final-hourforgive.html |

Cheers. Sorry, but I disagree.... I was at the NY show last year, and the crowd disppointed me . I'm not american but I thought there would be other type of people.... They all seemed to come from Manatthan, rich and quite jaded of being here... They didn't seem to care of Ms.Hill and were just curious to see what she'll do after her "disapearing" ... Half of the crowd stayed the two first songs and then left. Maybe it was because the arrangements of Hill were quite "Rock" and the people came for a Hip-hop show ... Hope this year will be better.... |

I can't believe no one has recorded full, complete and clear version of "I Used to Love Him" and "Nothing Even Matters". It's the first time that she's performing it Live and no one is documenting it.  Just the little bit that I heard from those two were good. I need to hear the whole thing. |

Half of the show is in your hands !!! I think the fact that Lauryn is one of the Headliner will bring a lot of real fan! Last year she was the "surprise Gest" and majority of the people came specially for Wu-tang clan . It seems that her show is more complete, longer, than last year. Wish you lot of fun ! Enjoy! And if you have time, take some pics or videos  |
