90 minutes is okay to me. it's the energy that counts.

of course the people expect a looong show since this is the roots and they supposed to play 3 hours.
and i think a lot of people take it as if you leave early since you don't really play encores.
okay, the band leaves while you mostly do your drum solo but i don't think a lot of people consider the part that comes after that the encore.
i noticed that a several times, the show is over, of course the people want more and clap for an encore but that's it.
a lotta peeps having the ''what??? that's it???'' look on their face...
not appreciating anymore what they just got

does anyone in black
>music even give a 2 hour show?

i don't want to start shit here but why limit this to black music?
is it that there are no real performers left in black music or does the music just fit a certain time frame???
prince and maceo parker both played over 2 and a half hours the last time i saw them.
