The Roots - The Fire (feat. John Legend)

So here's my second favourite performance from Sasquatch! Music Festival. I have always loved The Roots and this was the first time I got to see them, something I feel is more of a rarity with them being on Jimmy Fallon and all... These guys know what the fuck they're doing onstage. All live instruments lead by ?uestlove's incredible drumming. They played late into the night, going non-stop for about 1 and a half hours. Some covers were played including "Jungle Boogie" and the opener that had the crowd going nuts from the start, the Beastie Boys' "Paul Revere". Here's just a taste of the show, "Get Busy":

They played this song which is not only my favourite Roots song but one of my all time favourites. John Legend kills it on this song (like he always does) and I adore the lyrics. "You don't say good luck, you say don't give up". Epic. Also the video is awesome.

Some thoughts...

- LA Kings in 5

- Miami Heat in 5

- OKC Thunder in 7 (I know, the Spurs look so fucking good but they've been my team all year and I ain't giving up now!)

- Make the money don't let the money make you

- Tuba Gooding Jr. - best name ever (tuba player in the Roots)
