I headed over to Webster Hall on Monday with the anxious citizen to catch the Roots. I'm too tired to write a review. Let's just say the Roots put on a great live show even though it's a little jam bandy at times. As an added bonus I had the pleasure of seeing The Pharcyde open, which was a trip because when I was a youngster I used to rock the Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde cassette tape. On a side note I was asked 350 times if I wanted KOOL cigarettes. (they sponsored the show) And in between sets the hype-man kept yelling at people for not being old school enough. Someone should have thrown him off the stage.
This ones for Webster Hall, KOOL and all the crazy security guards!
For a review of the show go here. For a write up on the Roots new album check out Village Indian.
Wow. Sounds like a pretty kool show.
*(sorry couldn't resist!)
Do you have any more pix?

sorry, that's the only picture I took. they were really strict about not taking photos. I was lucky I got my camera through the door since they were checking everyone.

I was there too. The KOOL cigarettes thing was overwhelming. The guy between acts was annoying as hell - especially because guess what, douchebag, I remember hip-hop from BEFORE Tribe Called Quest's first album. So stop yelling at me. I did like the way he did the running man though.
?uestlove's drum solo was sweet. I've never seen the Roots before but man, they leave it all on the stage. Great show.

HA! JD, I was thinking the same exact thing. I said to myself, If there's someone in this room from like 79' they must be laughing at this guy.

It is as simple as that. Another plus to Supra Forex, is that it is also one of the most inexpensive software products you can buy.
