These are my music idol Icons....before I ever leave this earth= I promise to make sure I will see all the artist that pave my spirit Neo soul vibe...Eyrika Badu, the Roots, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, just to name a few...my life changes and circumstances with these legends keep me living...and one day before I leave this earth I pray that God would allow me to just perform with them one waken day...that is my prayer...
Marcus Reeves It was incredible to see Erykah again and The Roots again. They did not disappoint and were the icing on the cake from the acts that preceded them!!! Glad you could enjoy too.
artsHscience It blew my mind what this guy could do. I bet he puts on one h*ll of a techno show, and if you never saw him before, probably wouldn't believe he was actually doing all the noises himself live. A once in a lifetime moment so far for me.
Ben Bachelor This show was a dream for me while I was there and even today. Greatness and Legends! I appreciate the Jeremy Ellis name drop, dude killed his segment, wish it was longer!
True everyone was vibing, the weather was nice , the moon was out, the bridge was lit lol overall it was a great moment, since I came to see her especially
I was there it was soooooo Hot Temperature. wise than you can’t bring no chairs inside so basically standing for hrs not to mention the food line was ridiculous
This concert was everything ... and I wasn't even there! Lol. Could've done without The Weeknd though, but that's just me. I've never been to The Roots picnic, but I will def be there next year. Amazing performance, and Ms. Badu was hypnotizing and compelling as always!
+Danielle Coley I just noticed this comment. If you forgot or haven't looked into the Roots Picnic 2016 the tickets are on sale now (been on sale for a little while now). Usher will be performing with the Roots. Future and Leon Bridges are the next 2 headliners. Anderson Paak will be there too (check this brotha out if you don't know who he is!!!). If I remember right, DMX will be there too.
I will be there! It is also a little tribute to Atlanta, so it is extra special for me. Hope I get to record this year too. Also, I am going to Governors Ball the next day (Sunday), because Kanye West is headlining, Joey Badass will be there (I saw him the day of the Million Family March in Washington, but accidentally deleted the video before saving it to my hard drive, smh) and he was really good, and Gary Clark Jr. (if you don't know him he is AMAZING too, he does blues and is one hell of a guitarist (kinda our generation's Jimi Hendrix!!!).
+gastate9 Sheesh, what a helluva lineup! I'm not familiar with the guitarist, but I'm willing to check him out! I'm not from ATL but I live here now, so I'm sure I'll appreciate the tribute. I'm savaging for the coins for this trip! 😂
LOL, the coins...me and you both! Please, please, please Spotify or UA-cam Gary Clark Jr. he has a live album on Spotify. I went to a music festival in Mexico City and found out about a whole bunch of artist I should have known about, but didn't, anyways he blew my mind! FYI, I just saw Babyface last night, and Prince the day before. Probably a month after the Roots Picnic I will be uploading stuff again.
nicolas rosado Thank you! I flew up for the weekend only because I wanted to go to this too. The festival was AMAZING! I hope you got to reminisce and enjoy! What a half day, for me, of great music. I will go back next year if I can, this was my first time.
Glad you could enjoy! This year the headliner is Usher. They will also have: Future, Leon Bridges, Migos, DMX, Anderson Paak, and more... It happens this Saturday (June 4, 2016).
tropicoceangreen Glad you enjoyed and could reminisce! I just put up The Weekend, that is the last video I have of the Roots Picnic I shot. The Roots and Erykah show was a HUGE cherry on top for me too!!! Thank you!
+MyNamesCody 2016 Roots Picnic tickets are for sale now. Usher is going to be the main artist with the Roots this time! I am from ATL, so this will be AMAZING for me!!! Saw some of Usher at OVO a couple years ago, and ennnnjoyed.
1:42:46 Erykah freaked herself out when she hit the note at 1:42:58 , that's where that look came from right after at 1:43:03 I love her for it! She tried to do it again right after and broke.
Fernanda de Oliveira Thank you! This show was a refreshing step back in the past for me. It had been a little over a decade since I had seen the Roots, or Erykah. I was very happy to relive my early concert days :)
+Kristen Collins Me and a random person also from out of town standing next to me had to laugh and wonder what he did/didn't do to get that kind of reaction, LOL!
***** They do the Roots Picnic every year, for the past 8 years. And, now that The Roots have the fame and popularity they have been due, I don't see why they wouldn't continue (knock on wood).

Just seeing this. I challenge you to record a set at a music festival for 20 minutes. So, you can appreciate the difficulty of hand-held stabilization. Love

Dio, Lemmy,etc.
they hit that Herbie Hancock jawn effortlessly around that 56min mark. Yeah this moment was very special indeed. They are indeed THE BEST!
One of my favorite Philly groups that I like and Erykah Badu make it more fantastic.
FEEL SO HAPPY THAT THIS MASTERPIECE OF GROUP HAVE SO MANY GOOD MUSICAL ACCOMLISHMENTS AND WE CAN ENJOY THIS STORY WITH IMPECABLE LIVE PERFORMANCE 🔥
THERE WAS MAGIC IN THE BUILDING THAT NIGHT.
Marcus Reeves It was incredible to see Erykah again and The Roots again. They did not disappoint and were the icing on the cake from the acts that preceded them!!! Glad you could enjoy too.
The Roots the Best to do it.Then add Ms.Badu... just priceless..
The dude playing the Super Mario Brothers live on a beatbox, with mostly just one hand, at 48:55 was crazy.
artsHscience It blew my mind what this guy could do. I bet he puts on one h*ll of a techno show, and if you never saw him before, probably wouldn't believe he was actually doing all the noises himself live. A once in a lifetime moment so far for me.
Erykah Badu rolling that hubba board and still sound good too.
Erykh's all skatin around on stage haha this show was tight! Don't forget about Jeremy Ellis sitting in...
Ben Bachelor This show was a dream for me while I was there and even today. Greatness and Legends! I appreciate the Jeremy Ellis name drop, dude killed his segment, wish it was longer!
Amazing performance! watch this at least once a week. thank you for posting.
+VuittonDona Thank you!!! Glad you could enjoy. It was a dream come true, I hadn't seen The Roots or Erykah in a decade. Memories

Rachelle Jeanty SO RIGHT!!! Glad, only a few didn't respect I was recording the whole thing, so the whole world could see...
True everyone was vibing, the weather was nice , the moon was out, the bridge was lit lol overall it was a great moment, since I came to see her especially

samiegrrl mauh I envy you I know it was a blessing
D'Angelo is the only person missing

55:18 Questlove is not at the same level for the linear funk of Mike Clark's superb drumming on Herbie Hancock's Actual Proof, just my impression.
+Javier Lorca Seems like you really know your music, I myself am sort of ignorant looking at the big picture. But thank you, because I will take a listen and get a little more educated on music, which is always fun.
You must be smoking!!
where was i at?
+Larry Love I don't know, but keep an eye out for the Roots Picnic 2016

Beanie Sigel feat Freeway - Roc Da Mic
Glad you found this and could reminisce!
thanks and really good angle for the video
Thank you. Hope you made it to this year. If not, it was great. Next year I expect the same and now they are in NYC!

:)

Green Eyes
what song she was singing at 1:26:00 she started singing
I don't know, but HOPEFULLY someone will come to the rescue!!!
Green eyes
The song is a suite, it’s the ending of the song
50:00 who is this guy ?
Jermey Ellis (spell check)
This is legendary music but the person kept movin the fuckin camera
Just seeing this. I challenge you to record a set at a music festival for 20 minutes. So, you can appreciate the difficulty of hand-held stabilization. Love
Was she on wheels or something? In this video it looks like she is moving on wheels
Claudio Tralback Yeah she has some cool scooter that allowed her to move like that
Claudio Tralback She had on some roller skates. In a couple parts toward the last third of the video Erykah almost falls, thank goodness she didn't.
gastate9 I heard she was on a little segway?.. similar 2 the one Jamie Foxx rode on the Jimmy Fallon show.. that was called the 'PhunkeeDuck'..
klaim1productions Oh wow! Thank you
+klaim1productions yeah, she used it in her vines.
Fjq
Cliff Cowan Not sure what Fjq means, but hope you enjoyed the show!
