FOR REAL!!! I am blessed enough to now have seen the Roots 3 times live in concert, twice in Europe and now in my newly adopted hometown Adelaide. The previous shows were a 10 outta 10, this show in Adelaide was 11 outta 10!!! It was by far the best concert I have seen of any artist or group. And I have seen a few great shows, like the Wu Tang, Gang Starr etc. The beauty of yr shows is that you guys have a completely different line up each time. That's why I could go to a Roots show 25 times and still be amazed by yr solos.

Oh yeah, ?uest, thanks for sharing yr Red Bull with me. I was hoping to catch one of yr drumsticks but the Red Bull proved much more useful later in this evening. Only downfall of the evening was this dipshit who commented on my Okayplayer Hoody at the concert, probably not knowing what it was. What a f_____ joke, go to a Roots concert and not even knowing what Okayplayer is......

Anyway, can't wait to catch you guys in concert again soon!! (If I could, I'd fly to Sydney 2 catch one of yr other shows there)

PS: I was hoping you guys would do an ODB tribute, just like you did in Amsterdam in May 2003 for Jam Master Jay. You certainly paid respect to Ason by rocking Shimmy Shimmy ya!! Much respect!!
