It’s happened at almost every festival I’ve attended this year: Run The Jewels are there, and for some increasingly small amount of time I think about how I should really check out some other artist I haven’t seen during their set, because I’ve already seen them so many times in so few months. At FYF, the fight finally died out, because how you can ever say no to seeing Run The Jewels? If they’re there, it immediately becomes a guarantee that they’ll be one of the best things about whatever festival you’re at. At FYF, they took the main stage after Dinosaur Jr., with a billboard displaying their album cover up above the festival fences, overlooking the main crowd. (Was this coincidence? Or did they just rent that thing forever, knowing they’d be showing up to hilariously play under their own billboard?) For much of the set, it was all the same setlist flow and schtick that currently make Run The Jewels one of the greatest and most violent joys to see live: the “We Are The Champions” entrance, the bit about how the American Way only includes five things (lie, cheat, steal, win, kill) before “Lie, Cheat Steal,” El-P’s requisite warning to those up front before the beat to “Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)” dropped. This time, however, Zack de la Rocha showed up from backstage just in time to rap the final verse of the song. People lost it. That’s one of the best songs of the year, but as brutal as it is live the one small complaint is that it does always feel truncated without de la Rocha there. This just might’ve been the best of the many times I’ve now seen Run The Jewels — Gangsta Boo and Travis Barker also had big showcases on their respective feature tracks (“Love Again” and “All Due Respect”), but seeing de la Rocha onstage with them for “Close Your Eyes” let us see how that song could get even more intense than your average, already exhaustingly-visceral Run The Jewels gig.
