Their encore was the group's signature piece, a familiar montage with "Let the Music Play" as its framework.

Perhaps the most striking thing about East New York is its enclosed, suffocating feeling. Most of the people live in the city's housing projects--brown brick buildings with narrow, dimly-lit corridors and miniature apartments. The schools, such as Thomas Jefferson High, have thick steel mesh spread across each broken window, and iron fences topped with masses of razor wire which surround the school and its playground...

As a result, patients have difficulty breathing, digesting food and even reproducing. "This is a disease that simply wears you down," says Ramsey...
