UPDATE (10/27/06)

I was under the impression that it was a whole tour with the brass band HOWEVER, it is select shows at select venues (TBA). I can't say how many shows or what venues cuz I don't know! In my quest for news, I jumped the shark a bit and got my wrist slapped. So there will be shows featuring Jeff Bradshaw's amazing New Orleans style brass band (I believe they call themselvews Brass Heaven) so stay tuned for more...

If I can start now with the requests, I've been wanting The Roots to cover this song for years and now seems like the perfect time:

Wish I knew the name or Artist but c'mon - http://youtube.com/watch?v=3FaBqtdtfd8

I CAN'T wait...

DAYUM!

anything.

RIGOR MORTIS... Thought quotes it, might as well play it.

Yes, I've always wondered why they never play this song. And please come to Baltimore! I know it's not very likely, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

either or both please?

Thats the good shit right there

I hope they hit the Norva, DC, and of courser Philly will be off the chains, hoepfully the funds will be there for all three

it's been so long since i made it out to new york for radio city night 1.

and with the jeff bradshaw band? off the chain.

at least stop by mass. or n.h.

I'd like to see the entire Game Theory Album performed live from start to finish with all the guest artist and everything (or at leas most of em).
ish would be HISTORICAL if they pulled it off (which they would)
Then of course an hour long encore of the old school jams

i dunno about any photo nazi...
but come back to seatac area.

lets go!

no club love, or fur, or BS

stright 9:30

2 night show!!!

playing GT stright through from start to end.

i dug the soul'd out show there..

good show, i was there, but nations sucks. and i think they are closed.

Damn - so much to choose from.

James Brown is an obvious choice

Drop some obscure shit cause I know ?uest's got the library to pull from.

with or without the brass.

heck, if jeff bradshaw's crew can't make it out that day, the roots should collab with ozo that night.

what is feb 10?

the real question is what is feb 11 and you'll get the answer.

Put CA on the end of the roto. You guys are probably getting your next album under way after summer of '07 anyways.

love to see them in new york again

maybe come to long island???

It's The March of The Swivelheads by The English Beat.
I really hope they bring that brass band out to Detroit

for the annuel pre-grammy jam?

Please, at least one Florida date. Anywhere. Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Gainesville... any are feasible for me.

that's my request

..Land

No doubt. id love to see 'em at the paramount.

"Fellowship"-Meshell & "Move the Crowd"-Rakim & Eric B I'm a vet of at least 10 ROOTS Shows & NO MALIK B. I NEEDZ to see & hear my Mizza my man MALIK B! Get yo ass out there and do some shows!!! WTF!!!

Malik hasn't performed with The Roots in like 12 years...

That's what I'm sayin.....DAMN! What better time than right now!

And not anytime between June 20th-July 4th (I'm gonna be getting married in Philly, then on my honeymoon)

Oh and it'd be nice if the show was on the weekend and followed by a ?uest DJ gig.

Oh and if ?uest could throw me a drumstick, that'd be cool too.

Besides that, I got no requests, haha.

fri or sat, somewhere in los angeles or orange county...

i.e., stevie b, trinere, debbie deb, lisa lisa...

look out weekend
spring love
the party's just begun
i wonder if i take you home


okay, maybe and only if the roots are in the bay area and san diego would these songs work.

i love a live horns section....hopefully it will be in my area

but not at the fucking grand. fuck that place.

the cop that was chasing the sister?
he wasn't there when they got to the house

Here you go:

Song: March of the Swivelheads
Album: "Jeanette" 12" single B-side (UK)

w/ the brass band y'all should bang out 25 or 6 to 4 and let Kirk solo out the end of the show

No more needs to be said.

Request: That they come 2 the UK!

PLEASE!!!
Come to the Boston area, and not an 18+ venue.

>

Come to Toronto-Please!!!

Love to hear a version of this by The Roiots with horns added.

how bout the UB-40 version of 'cant help falling in love with you'

worth a shot

well, i don't really have any requests, b/c it should be given that you're gonna have a philly date... hopefully you guys can come up with something creative for the philly date, like something historic like the NYC shows.... philly deserves it!!

a horn section! AAAHHHHH!!!

Why not do a medley of various horns in other hip hop songs, let the crowd get off a little.

check the rhyme - tcq
he say she say - Fiasco

There are so many I am sure I don't have to go on. You got the point. Then work on some Stevie. What about.."you haven't done nothin", the song right after superstition. Just play the song...then pick out the horn sample, switch up the bass...and let Tariq go off. Oh, and some watermelon man done Pancho Sanchex style might be a nice little segway keeping it fresh.
