This concert totally floored me! The power of music...
I am 69,5 years, swedish old man! Wtf, my heart❤
the message, energy, and production are unmatched and the skill level!!! their music is soooooo underrated and live with an orchestra!!! im so impressed which is not easy to do being in the music business for over 40years.. they deserve HALL OF FAME, AND I GRAMMY FOR BEST LIVE PERFORMCE .... MY SAME REACTION WTFFFFF!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Right on! Isn't it phenomenal!?
I was fortunate to attend this show. One of the best shows I've ever seen and not to mention all the surprise guest. 🔥
Dont think it gets better than seeing this live.
Chaka Kahn and Erykah Badu! Wow!
BILAL ALL DAY
THE AMOUNT OF PROFESSIONALISM & TALENT ON THIS STAGE IS JUST BREATHTAKING!! BLACK THOUGHT IS A TRUE MASTER OF CEREMONIES… 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤👑👑👑👑👑🏆🏆🏆🏆
🏆🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You couldn't haven't said it better than that !
I wa thinking the fuckin same thing, and I'm not even mastering english language, but seeing this you really understand what MC means....can't stop listening
Listen The Roots Come Alive album. Thought commands the stage.
The spirit of Dilla lives on. Beautiful beyond words
Black Thought remain one of the most underrated MCs of all time. Ain't nobody want the smoke w the God MC, legendary Roots crew 🎙🔥💪
We just gotta raise our kids to know who the greatest is, kids now adays don't know the history
Black Thought is in a class all by himself when it comes to Rhythm And Poetry
I often hear him referred to as the Goat. I remember him on south street playing on the corner every Saturday with the Square Roots. Eventually the police were on edge because people came far and wide to see the first Rap Band playing with an upright bassist and Quest on drums and Black thought and the Original Kenyatta on the Mic. I’m amazed and proud of the success and influence that they have had on this industry..
Maaaan‼️He is one of the biggest reasons I ‘WRITE’ lyrics not just rhymes. He-BlackThought is truly unmatched but joined only be a handful that rock like he do✊🏾(Phonte/Little Brother, Nas, and of course PAC)🤷🏽♀️just my opinion.
64 Squares 😂
live orchestra, great beats, hiphop, blues and jazz, The Roots gives us it all. That's great because we wouldn't be able to hear such a performance from other musicians.
I've seen the Roots too many times to count and each time was better than the last. Hands down the best live band experience I've ever witnessed. 215
You need to witness more bands...
Absolutely. This concert has been on repeat since my husband found it here on UA-cam. I absolutely love it.
@Lisa R. Scott, exactly! I’ve watched it at least 8 times.

I saw the post and asked myself 'who would watch 3h of.concert on youtube???'... And then i watched it twice in a row. The Roots take thr music on a different level on stage. Many thx for thr post. Peace.
This is EXACTLY what just happened to me. The algorithms lead me here, and I’m on my second viewing.
Same here! I fell asleep with YT playing, and woke up to this in its' first hour. I let it play through, and at the end, I played it back from the beginning, and am currently doing laundry and cleaning to it!
I can't help but notice, at the time I type this comment, this is not a SINGLE "down thumb" dislike for this video. But over 12k likes. It's that good.
mind.
blown.
The Roots prove that they are the best in hip-hop! Each one of them are incredibly talented.
STAR ,oooh man The Roots Crew. LEGENDARY.
Live music like this feeds the Soul. Feel good Frequencies.. 🎶💚💛 Salute to all of these sound scientists on that stage. 🫡👏🏾
I love this ❤
that captain kirk 2-minute guitar solo kills it for me every single time without fail (really 3-minute)
That performance was indeed mesmerizing nd certainly Hard-Hitting! I felt as if my heart was about to come out of my chest! 🎸🔥 🎸
I thought I was the only one that thought his solo killed the show!
I feel like I just experienced what a starry night would sound like if we could truly perceive it's vibrations. .....and why am I smelling vanilla candles??!! Feeling thissssssss! I am so glad this happened to me.
Greatness personified…The LEGENDARY Roots Crew!!! ❤❤❤
So grateful for all of the love that went into this production! I watch this once a week and it never gets old🖤my people.
I love the Roots. Black Thought is the "BEST RAPPER IN THE WORLD!!!!!" Name another who can carry it like he does. This is the epitome of fusion. HIP HOP AND ORCHESTRAL MUSIC.
I love it.
I have been a fan of The Roots since I was 15. Seen them only once live and they were by far the best group I have seen live. This year I’ll be seeing them live for the second time but this time I’ll have my 17 year old daughter and I simply cannot wait. Bring on August 1st.
I have my hands raised up to Jesus. And also doing the sprinkler. And thanking GOD for making youtube so masterful artists can represent currently 🎉❤😊
I will always watch this when I need peace of mind ✌️ ❤
Black Thought ❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!
Black soul mate!!!..
You cannot listen to this and not reach your highest self - at work, at the gym, in life. Have been listening to The Roots since the 90s. A perk of being from South Jersey and getting all the good Philly music!
Same here. Since 93 and I just cannot believe the talent of these dudes.
Everybody is a Star was straight FIRE. The Legendary Roots Crew be killin it live.
Wow this is what the world needs real music, real artists, real musicians, a real show no excuses! Peace
I'm screaming disappointment of me not being there! This is THE BEST HIP-HOP concert I've ever seen!...PERIOD!
All of the comments are phenomenal! But, I'm a simple man! One word: MASTERPIECE!!!
This is the ultimate movie score, Quest onto something here
Definitivly yesss!!!!.
The height of Black Excellence in music🖤🖤🖤
High Quality! ROOTS are legends! great show and orchestration
Big up to the Soulquarians (Questlove, Common, Mos Def, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott) for making “You Got Me” possible.
Black Thought
@@shortie9103 And of course! Tariq, aka Black Thought.
Nearly at a loss for words, and only can think of one word to describe this; beautiful. 👏
At 18 I fell in love with The Roots the very first time I heard Do You Want More!?!! on cassette in my Honda Civic. When it ended with the title track (and Rahzel fooling me with his DJ beatboxing) I kept driving and played it again as I had never heard anything like what they’d tapped into. Digable Planets and Tribe tried the jazzy hip hop thing but nothing like these guys. They incorporated their musicality full circle being the first to be brave enough to try something completely different by using a band instead of just 2 turntables to express their version of hip hop. Since then I’ve become a fierce fan and have proudly watched them climb the ranks into one of the most respected groups in the game. I had the pleasure of meeting Tariq Trotter (and the crew) in Vancouver during the Illadelph tour and you couldn’t meet a kinder, more humble dude. They deserve everything they’ve accomplished and they’ve still yet to peak!! Legendary? Hell yes.
Your comment is so good, yet so bad. Say what you want about Digable Planets. They were just a flash in the pan. A Tribe Called Quest didn't "try the jazzy Hip Hop thing". They created it and they changed Hip Hop in the process. As a matter of fact, there wouldn't be a Roots if there was no Tribe. Black Thought would tell you that. The Roots may be your favorite, but unlike A Tribe Called Quest they have not reached legendary status. Some would even argue that they're not even Hip Hop because they're a band.
The Roots' contribution was more towards neo soul. They're actually the architects of that sound. It's a wave that they created. They also showed the world how Hip Hop should be played by a band. These are great contributions. Maybe someday they'll get the respect that they deserve.
I love how the Roots have embraced & created a music and creators community that brings together this wonderful event with so much talent! There are so many brilliant music moments in this event- to name a few- the Erykah Badu solo; the opportunity for guitarist Jermey Ellis to go off, Prince style, with his guitar solo; the tuba solo / highlights throughout...I can go on and on...but got to go to sleep
Thank you to all of the musicians who came together to create this music.
Curieusement je comparais l'image de la bijouterie de Badu à celle du visage d'une inconnue violoniste
this is pure music...each musician in their own right is so uber talented...The Roots are the greatest !
Mo town, funk, soul, sorrow, triumph, the will to keep trying.... Embodied in this tight joint that these beautiful cats have made :) I didnt want to try anymore, but after hearing this I have no choice for my kids ;)
Thank you Quest Love, thank you Black Thought, thank you the LEGENDARY ROOTS CREW AND ASSOCIATED AMAZING MUSICIANS:) I WAS LOST AND NOW AM FOUND THANKS TO THESE GROOVES, MELODIES, FEEL, MUSIC!!!! I WANT TO CONTINUE NOW DESPITE ANY OBSTACLES KNOWING THAT MUSIC HAS BEEN MASTERED IN THIS PERFORMANCE :)))))))))
Everytime I am having a bad day i put this on. Its transcendent. Music truly is healing. And this is magic in pure form
Is like a hipnotic trance!!!!..
Real musicians killing it.
This is talent that’s worth a billion views. Luv from StL
My grandfather was a drummer. Quest is a monster.
Magnificent, what a ride. Thanks The Roots, this is beyond hiphop!
This Concert is unbelievable..🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ive commented on this grand collaboration, it brings tears to my eyes. If only the world could understand that music crosses all lines of communication, enough said!
I had never heard of Kirk Douglas besides that dude from the dodgers and this Kirk Douglas definitely gets the pinnacle of Kirk Douglases
Many languages and cultures that mix each other. I would love the world would get like this. This emotional, deep and touching concert.
This was THE BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO, AT HOME !
Top Notch.
MJ22
Mr Tarik Trotter has ascended past any and all Lists, Definitions and classifications in Hip Hop. The unkillable Rap Titan.
Those background vocalist with Chaka are amazing!
THE BEST LIVE CONCERT IVE EVER BEEN TO WAS THE ROOTS! THIS PERFORMANCE JUST REINFORCES MY POINT...THERE IS NOTHING THEY CANT ROCK TO!
"Wish I was there moment in time"
I've had this video on repeat since I stumbled on it last week. I had no idea The Roots did a concert with a symphonic orchestra -- better late than never to find this masterpiece!
LOL! You've got a year on me! I discovered this 15 minutes ago. I'm hooked!
That really is a magical show!!! So much harmony so many amazing styles in one concert!!! Huge respect to all the musicians who make this music, a huge thank you to The legendary Roots crew!!! I am from Russia and I am sorry that we do not have such concerts and such music)
У нас есть оркестры подобного уровня но их загоняют в рамки по стилям и всему остальному,да и в целом воздух здесь пропитан ,,не свободой".
I'm so done. This is so dope. I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to express the euphoric feelings that wash over me as my ears are being made love to. Simply magnificent!
Agreed. No words. It's 👏🏾
peace baby
I'm just mesmerized with the talent on this stage. I'm feeling LOVE over here. For real. ❤
The guitarist blew my mind.
Those 3 thumbs down don't know what good music is. It's sad that some people don't know how to appreciate one of the all time great conscious rap groups of all time.
Who cares?? YOU know don't you??? Everythang ain't for everybody, no matter how dope it is💜
I agree with you, Brutha, but that's life. The Roots ain't everyone's cup of coffee and that's what makes them so special.
when you see the copper headbanging on their free time you know it's a perfect moment of music ! Infinite respect to everybody who work for this performance !
That violin setup at the end, got me buying my middle daughter that. Her momma figured I buy things I wanted as a kid
One thing about Black Thought he will rap. This is beyond amazing, it's I don't know how to describe it. Shout to all who contributed on this show. This is real music and how musicians should perform.
WOW 👏 not even a minute into this and "mind is blown". This is masterful. I love when symphonies play with contemporary artists.
💯💯
"I can't explain what these lame kids is talkin' 'bout, Or how they fit they whole foot into they own mouth"
This is Real Hip Hop, when it becomes a truly Universal Art. More than, word strung together, more than lyrics, more than beats, more than bars. A true experience in all of the human feelings, emotions and senses. From the simple spoken word to the symphonic. This concert expressed all that is music and all that Hip Hop .
A new dimension of awe. like frank Zappa used to say:thanks for coming to concert and good night.! true Baduizm
It does my makes my heart happy when I see the conductor and the symphony bopping to the music. I really need to see the Roots live.
🔥That's Absolute! I'm feelin You, as for Me, I'm Not really sure if my Heart, Spirit, Soul & Body can contain this Level of Vibrational ENERGY, Full Force! Its a Experience on a Completly Different Level! WOW! I NEVER knew Hip Hop Music could or would have this effect on a person, ME. Lawd Have Mercy! 🔥💜🔥
@@ladyvirtue650 This is probably all the more reason to see them live. Our whole selves would be full of this awesomeness.
The concerto of a desperado!!!!!!!
The Roots gives a great show! I saw them in Harrisburg Pa this year (2022) and it was pure dopeness!!! I can't even imagine seeing them with a full Orchestra like this! This is the greatest MC and band out here.... #BlackThought #TheLedgendaryRootsCrew
how is this not a live album and video download?!
For real, the production quality is there.
I was thinking the same. This may be the best live hip hop show I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen The Roots live 5 times).
IKR?
Exactly!!!!!!
This is better than Metallica and the the San Francisco orchestra
The Roots with an orchestra is fucking killer. I’ve been waiting to hear Long Time live with one for so long. This is spectacular.
Now this is performance. I love this. Its fantastic. Sharing with everyone
First movie to do a score like this wins
I feel blessed
How come i never new this existed, its too good
E
Every instrument, voice, song and candor was extreme. The most beautiful concert!!!!!!!!!!! Very moving folks!
What an amazing concert and Timeless performance! This is a must SEE!
Geesh her voice is so good and so gritty! Love it!
What a show, Philly, all the way from Yonkers New York.....Salute...
What a set list! Game Theory -> Concerto Of The Desperado -> Long Time is such a strong early game lineup, they even hit the Anderson Paak Come Down remix at 18:30!
one of the best videos on the ENTIRE internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PURE MAGIC! Amazing in every way
belle combinaison
Needs more views. This is simply a phenomenal set.
There is so much energy in this recording, all of the talented musicians supporting this production, kudos to you all! Amazing
*Listen to the work of my brother FEELFOUND, he really needs support, he is trying. 💯*
Yes! I was here! Dallas Texas
I have the Kurt solo on repeat! Loved that part
Good Lord, this was a beautiful performance. From everyone!
That guy shredded the guitar so much, i'm surprised it's still intact!
I wish i was in that show!
Imagine not knowing what The Roots is and you come across this video.
Because this just happened to me…
We need more fo this in the world...hot damn
Philly Worldwide Phenomenon!!!
Un fenómeno el AMIGO!!!..
Mannnnnn....this is so good
for real doe this track is busssin fam on god!!!!!!!
I got to play a show with one of the Roots. So fun. He was really kind and playful!
Give Griselda this stage. Need that to happen ASAP. The whole roster.
Thought is the LEGEND!!
This is pure magic
LEGENDARY.
I played the violin from jr high to high school and I never looked this cool.
Great concert, Roots & Black Thought 🎙️💯🔥🔥🔥. Gets No Betta !!!
So. Much. Wow.
