Dave Sale was the 22-year-old man beaten to death after a Phillies game during a grim July weekend that also saw several other murders in the city. In response, hip-hop artists from the tri-state area have thrown together a benefit show aimed at raising awareness and funds for Sale's family. Performers include Adlib, Scholar, DEAP and more. It would be nice to go a year without writing about one of these shows.

Sun., Aug. 9, 9 p.m., $10, Sandman, Scholar, Adlib, Microphone Tone, Friascanb, 2ew Gunn Ciz, Nico the Beast, Authentic and Unique, Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 215-922-LIVE, thetroc.com.
