The Roots are an amazing band that is incredibly talented. They put on a great show and know how to get a crowd excited. Also, the venue was sick although it got a little crazy at times.

If you ever get a chance to see The Roots you owe it to yourself to go see them. Simply put if you never see another hip-hop show you'll be fine. It don't get much better than The Roots especially at an intimate venue like HOB. Check it.

The Roots played some of their great old music! I loved the venue and I was actually able to drink & get into the pool while listening to them. The Hard Rock is an amazing venue. I saw the Roots a couple of months ago while in the front row at the last place. This show was so much better!

The concert was phenomenal!!! The ROOTS put on a quality show and rocked it from beginning to end.
The only drawback was the amount of people at the venue. There was a lot of pushing and shoving and a couple of fights broke out, but there was no crowd control. Next time limit the numberof tickets that are sold.

It was a great performance, but they had the speakers WAY louder than they normally do, which made some of the song parts hard to hear. My ears are hurting significantly still. Other than that, the concert was great.

The concert at the pool was amazing. The lyrics killed and who would ever expect a hip hop band to include a tuba! Old favorites were performed along with new content that felt like a different direction from the norm but what would you expect from The Roots.

The Roots did not disappoint!! They were as tight as ever!!! We knew Black Thought would have to come out of that blazer!!! They paid there respect to Michael Jackson, and blew the crowd away when the not only let Flavour Flav take the stage but also let him flow too!!
Of the chain as usual!! This is my third time seeing them and each time they get better!!
TRUE HIP HOP LIVES WITH THE ROOTS!!

Best live show I have seen this year. The Roots have always been the premier live act to see. Excellent, thought provoking lyrics as well as top notch musicianship make this my favorite show of the year by far. Going to a Roots show is not just going to hear music, but it is more to feel like you are going to an event that is making history. This type of hip hop is too important to ignore. This band should always be supported by true fans everytime they tour because touring is where they make their living as album sales dont pay the bills anymore.

The Roots were Excellent as always. The addition of a tuba player and a new bassist added a whole new flavor and funness to their set.

Overall I felt the show was great. The Roots played for about 2 hours and the energy was really great the entire time. The only complaints I might have is that the sound wasn't great and they didn't play enough older songs. It was hard to make out like the Sousaphone (who was fun to watch just the same) and also the emcee (Black Thought). And I've been a huge Roots fan since they dropped "Do You Want More?!?!??!?!?" (they're second joint) and they didn't play much songs off of either that album or the next one ("Illadelph Halflife").
But the Roots truely killed it and went through much of their last four or five albums and I had a great time.
I would recomend a Roots show to just about any genere of music-head.

ive never been to a show quite like the roots, it was extremely original and alot of fun. i went in having no idea what to expect, and i left thinking that i will never see a hip hop show as good as that again. they played for two hours and played a ton of their own songs and 8 covers. each musician in the band also did their own solo which lasted about 5 to 10 minutes each and they were all incredible. each member of the band showed off how talented and origianal they all are. the show was very entertaining, but what really impressed me was how original the show was. every fan of hip hop should go see the roots play because it is an experiance like no other

The Roots kill it every time. If you like hip-hop, jazz, or jam bands they will impress. Second time i have seen them live and i feel confident saying they are easily the best live performance of any music genre i have ever seen.
