tonight: the roots
nye: sj&dk (now sold out, fyi)
Roots tonight. I've only seen them once, and it was a shortened festival set. They were incredible, so I'm psyched for the 9:30 show tonight.
i've seen the roots 3 or 4 times this year. they had a late-night residency at the highline ballroom in NYC called "the jam" (b/c they'd have guests every night), also known as "the 10 dollar bill show" (b/c that's what it cost). easily the best entertainment value around - they killed it every night, whether they were playing their own stuff or backing up someone else.
with an 8:30 start and no opener, i'm hoping we get a nice long set from them.
strange that i'll be paying more to see them tonight then i have for all other shows this year combined.
