Joc was the first artist to get up close and perosnal with the crowd goin into the mosh pit. He also threw a few 20 dollar bills (and we do say FEW) out into the crowd (We guess his upcoming lawsuit against Block ENT is stressing dem funds! LOL)

"Throw Some Ds on that Bitch!."

Stone brought up former 100.3 the Beat perosnality Kaos (who brought on Stine on board to the Beat) who sermoned the crowd about stopping the violence (referring to the shooting thqt happened after the May Day Parade earlier that day) and stop being #1 teh city for HIV and AIDs.











































STL gospel rapper P Dub said that he was "young, fly and saved." He said that his latest CD is entltled, "Kingdom Music."














































Stone performed with P Dub. Both created of the Young, Fly and Saved Movement.

Then, they introduced b-ball star Larry Hughes (middle) on stage who announced that the after party was going to be at The Skybox. Hughes os one third owner of it along with Nelly and b-ball star Darius Miles.






































THEN THE MOMENT ERR ONE WAS WAITING FOR--THE REUNION OF THE ST. LUNATICS, ALL ON ONE STAGE TOGETHER SINCE ITS FORMING in 1999 (10 YEARS AGO) WITH CITY SPUD.







Nelly and Ali came out first to much screams and applause from the crowd.


















































Then Kyjuan.
















































Then Murphy Lee, who got the most cheers. Minutes later, City Spud walked out on stage and the house rocked with applause.

















































Nelly and Murph



















































Blood brothers Kyjuan and Murph





















































Ali givin the crowd some love




















































The Lunatics performd mostly all of its group and solo hits including songs form its upcoming CD, "City Free." including the first single, "Get Low to the Flo."























































All the Tics on stage (except for Slo Down which was puzzling).
























































It was definitely a moment in St. Louis music history!






















































When they performed "Stepped on My J's" , someone from the crowd threw their show out to them and Nelly observed it and then thre wit back to the crowd member and the Tics decided to sgow off their J's. .


























































They also incorporated other artists songs in their set including DJ Kid Cudi's "Day and Nite,:" and Young Ro's "Dunk dat Booty."





























































City Spud (right) fit right in the mix.























































Spud solo was "Look at Me," a cut from "City Free."





























































The crowd showing Nelly love.




























































But unfortunately, the Lunatics' set was plagued with sound tech difficulties midway. They waited for about 10 minutes and the sound returned, but then it failed again soonafter.






























































When the sound did retun, Murphy Lee showed off his freestyling skills.
































































Nelly thanked the crowd for supporting them through the years.
