Описание: This footage has undergone enhancement through Topaz Video AI and Flowframes for upscaling and frame augmentation with flowframes, while lalal.ai was utilized to extract vocals. Additionally, the Gas Drawls instrumental, also recognized as Calamus Root, has been integrated into the background. Efforts were made to minimize bass-related buzzing

Context: This performance took place at Wetlands in NYC on 4/24/2000, marking MF DOOM's third(?) appearance. The crowd was well-aware that he was Zev Love X, and the venue was packed, reflecting the anticipation surrounding his comeback at the age of 27.

The first two shows were legendary, creating an instant buzz in NYC and the East Coast. Anecdotes include DOOM wearing pantyhose over his face in the first show.

Fight Incident: The show preceding this one ended early due to a stage fight between DOOM and Megalon, spilling outside the venue.

Comparison with Other Footage: I asked u/mf_science if this footage, "MF DOOM Live at Metro Chicago (Circa 2000)," is older or newer than this one. They said the footage at The Metro in Chicago is from 1999/2000, likely around the same time as the Wetlands performance.

Gas Drawls Perspective: The performance at Wetlands gains significance as DOOM is believed to be rapping "Gas Drawls" from Zev Love X's perspective.

Notably like a true Villain, DOOM adheres to collecting his payment immediately after finishing his performance.

MF DOOM had been out for almost three years, openly discussing his transition from Zev Love X in interviews.

NuYorican Cafe Vibe: Even at DOOM's first show at NuYorican Cafe, the crowd vibe was one of excitement about Zev Love X from KMD performing new material.
