No Breakfast Shows that you can attend, you mean. What if there is a fall tour and they are playing somewhere that you ain\'t. You going to sit at home?

Yeah, it has to be seen to be believed.  They spit it out faster than your brain can process it, then do forward and leave you all messed up.

the roots were the spring concert at umass this year......
and let me tell you, i was not a big fan or much of a fan at all before this show... but these guys are sick!!!

i don\'t think any of their albums (maybe roots come alive) do these guys justice.  They are just incredible live.  They aren\'t your typical rap group, as i\'m sure most of you know, they are amazing musicians and black thought is the only one rapping so you can actually hear what he is saying...plus there are ser drum breaks in nearly every song!


So basically what i\'m saying is, if you\'re into soul, funk, rap, hip hop, r&b, drummers/percussion, or just plain old goood music....then hit up this show!!!

for those who\'ve never seen the roots, i STRONGLY RECOMMENED seeing them live!!  they really do put on a great show, i saw them in at the fillmore in denver a couple years ago, they busted out some \'iron man\', ram jam \'black betty\' and at one point during a eerie slow break where i thought they would pull out some floyd- \'dont fear the reaper,\' which was hilariously awesome!  i guess the guitarist also has a metal band on the side, most everyone in the group has some side project that is completely different from the live hip-hop- these guys are badass musicians and yes the drum breaks are INSANE!!!  i wish they werent playing at the avalon in boston
