The Roots Live

The Roots, the Philly-based "hip-hop band" with 8 albums to their credit, the latest of which is the highly regarded Game Theory, have a fantastic website that captures the element that makes them stand above all others. TheRootsLive.com is an archive dedicated to providing free mp3s of Roots' concerts. The site currently hosts approximately 45 shows that go back as far as 1993, many of which contain video. I'm currently digging their March 13, 2003 show at the Roseland Ballroom.

    hey man,
    I was just checking up on your blog. I saw the roots at patrick gymnasium and thought it was really corny. I'll check this stuff out. I like the albums.

    I was never a big hip-hop fan but it has started to grow on me, I saw them a few months back and I enjoyed it, it changed my thoughts about hip-hop and I quite like listening to some of it now.

    I was travelling the country a few months back I read the tom tom sat nav review on local interests and ended up at a concert that I thoroughly enjoyed, I did not think I would but what a great time and fantastic music.
