Kicking off the 'Pitchfork Live' series with explosive energy, this video captures Run The Jewels during their sold-out, four-night residency at New York's iconic Terminal 5 on March 1, 2017. The performance was part of the tour supporting their critically acclaimed third album, 'Run the Jewels 3,' which had been released just a few months prior. The atmosphere inside the multi-level Hell's Kitchen venue was electric, with the duo of Killer Mike and Brooklyn's own El-P delivering a ferocious, high-octane set.
Renowned for their commanding stage presence and raw power, Killer Mike and El-P showcased the seamless chemistry that has made them one of the most vital acts in modern hip-hop. Their performance was a masterclass in controlled chaos, blending politically charged anthems with moments of humor and genuine camaraderie. The setlist drew heavily from their new material at the time, with tracks like "Talk To Me" and "Legend Has It" inciting a massive response from the packed house. This concert was more than just a stop on a tour; it was a triumphant hometown stand for El-P and a testament to the duo's unstoppable rise, cementing their reputation for delivering some of the most thrilling and unforgettable live shows in music.
