Wu-Tang Clan Biography
Formed in Staten Island, New York, in 1992, Wu-Tang Clan became one of hip-hop's most influential collectives. Its core members include RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. The group's 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), introduced a gritty, cinematic sound and martial arts-inspired identity that helped reshape the genre.
The tour's retrospective format draws on both group classics and members' solo work. Songs listed among its core selections include “Protect Ya Neck,” “C.R.E.A.M.,” “Triumph,” “Method Man,” and “Gravel Pit,” alongside tribute moments honoring Ol' Dirty Bastard. The supplied event information lists Phoenix as a tour stop, but does not establish earlier Wu-Tang Clan dates at Mortgage Matchup Center.

Wu-Tang Clan Mesa reviews
I was mildly surprised
"I only took my 9 year old son to this show because he begged me. Exposing my son to an orchestra concert could not be bad, I figured. Surprised at how much I enjoyed it, I was. A neat concept, giving kids the experience of hearing a top-notch orchestra in a fun and exciting way. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Choir were excellent, and having "C3PO" narrate the series was just plain fun. Watching my son's excitement was priceless, and I truly enjoyed it. Just great fun and a nice treat for all those young Wu-Tang Clan fans!"
