I headed to Boulder last night to see The Roots at the Fox Theatre. I have to admit I was pretty underwhelmed for a lot of the concert– they just don’t sound the same without someone on a trumpet, a sax, and a female vocalist, especially when they play their older material (which is what I enjoy more). However it was one of their last stops on the tour and they seemed to be having a blast.. during a very long encore (they played for a solid 2 hours in total!) they started playing all sorts of covers and it was good stuff. Everything from Michael Jackson, to Kayne West, to LL Cool J. I think my favorite part of the show was after it was over– ?uestlove was signing drumsticks and throwing them to people in the audience, very cool! The Fox was sold-out, very packed, and was a pretty cool place to see a show except for the typical jackasses you have to deal with when going to a concert.
I got home at about 1 and was totally exhausted.. I just might be getting too old for this shit. :O
