188350, the Roots @ Summerfest Posted by PierreOrdinaire, Fri Jul-02-10 11:34 AM
Who went?
Thoughts?
Good show, IMO, but I felt like I saw the EXACT same show last year at this venue ...
The first half hour was fire, but that blaze died down over the course of the show: Same drum solo w/ 15 and Knuckles that I've heard numerous times, requisite "You Got Me" and cheesy '80s-rock pandering ....
Don't mean to sound bitter because it still was a good show, and I ain't mad for going AT ALL.
Oh, and I LMAO @ 'Riq's mistakes early in the night. He wore this "Yeah, I fucked up" smile through much of the early set. I thought it was hilarious. (We don't mind hearing a Thought verse two times, okayplayer.)
So yeah, Good show, but a lot of the same for me. (And those barely legal bitches in front of me were having a good time, though!)
Anyone go to the after party deal @ moct?
EDIT: Props to Thought @ how he kills it spitting other dudes verses ... makes for longer songs and better overall flow.
