I downloaded a 64 minute long bootleg MP3, from when The Roots visited Norway in 97. In the middle of the concert, tariq (bt's name, right?)

"I want yall to look around yall on this
field and whatever and what the fuck they from, aight
it's peace all the way
and peep the people
and the different mixtures of, of.. cultures and, and..
and people with different origins and races and..
and lifestyles and careers and paths
that are on this course, right here.. right about now
just dig wit that
dig wit all these different personalities and shit
and dig wit me this music, this culture that we call HIPHOP!
got the power to bring about change!
and it got the power to, yknahmsayn, spark shit off
bring people together
there, there you have it right here
this the manifestation of that

I say all of that just to say,
that was just my intro, aight
so i can do the b-boy run dmc part
and we be like this, when i'm like...
KNAHMSAYN!!"

He yelled it out so you loud heard echoes go back and forth... and people be screaming, clapping and whistling

then he started Concerto of the desperado.. having the crowd go "hiphop music!!!" when he says "It aint nuttin like".. like on the swedish bootleg.

I liked that.. :)
just had to post it
