187006, Live Concert DVD from The Roots Band
Posted by lblaws, Fri Jan-01-10 08:33 PM
Is there ever going to be a concert DVD of the roots? I believe it would really be a nice addition.
187008, I hope they release their 07 Tower Theater show

187016, did you buy The Roots Presents?

If there isn't a demand resulting in sales history, what's the incentive for future projects?

this one was a lot better

i believe this is the one with Nelly's birthday. The other DVD had too many other people that I really didnt care to see.

if they packaged a DVD with the new album Im sure it would help sales of physical album similar to what they did on phrenology.

Yo, i don't know if you needed any information about this dvd still or not. it is not a concert dvd...there is a quest/knuckles solo and a kirk solo but the audio is poor...Mostly it is them messing around on the tour bus and a clip of quest digging through records in a boutique. Not a bad viewing but definately not something you'll watch again and again. I hope this helps.

I am all for this. As always.

I hope I am proved wrong, but I think I will be over 40 and no longer around here before this happens. 7 years and counting... lol.
187023, someone will make a bootleg tour dvd before the roots make an official one

This is my frequent complaint. I'm gonna be f*$%ing old by the time something like this actually gets released. It'd be nice to see some of this stuff come out now.

I think with the Fallon exposure, and a new album on the way, they should push for some kind of 2010 or 2011 Live CD/DVD/BluRay/whatever release. Treat it the way they did with Things Fall Apart, The Legendary EP, The Roots Come Alive, but obviously on a smaller scale.

Posted by justin_scott, Tue Jan-05-10 08:16 PM
the dvd is far better than the cd, which was a mess.
187085, Whatever happened to that footage shot at the Tower Theater?
Posted by CaptNish, Tue Jan-12-10 07:25 PM
That show was HOT!

High Voltage- where could I find a copy of that? I was at that show and would love to relive it through video. By the way, are you still posting video from Roots performance on Jimmy Fallon? As always, thanks for putting us on to these treats!

I have it on DVD... if I have a chance, I'll try to rip it.

Unfortunately no... ran into some issues with that.

If you could do that, that would be much appreciated!! Thanks for responding! I made some new Roots fan converts at that show.

I would definitely like info on that show. Also, does anybody have the audio for The Roots at the Warner Theater April 1, 2006? I lost my copy.
