On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, Wu-Tang Clan brought their “The Final Chamber” tour to their hometown for a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. The group, who will disband after this tour, was joined by Run the Jewels for an opening set, who I last saw them perform on the same stage with Rage Against the Machine nearly three years ago.

I documented both sets for BrooklynVegan and the coverage is now available on their website. As someone who grew up in NYC, it was an absolute delight to cover this show and I felt very lucky to be in the room, let alone behind a camera for a few songs.
