    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    right now, for me: PJ, NIN, The Frames. not necessarily in that order :o couldn't for the hell of it decide which band I was going to see if they all played the same evening.
    Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.

    WOW - all this agreeing is starting to get a little scary. Guess you're not quite as crazy as I originally thought ;)

    Sloan was amazing in concert! The first time I saw them, I wasn't expecting much, but it was free, so I went. They blew me away... their stage presence matched just about anyone's, and a few of the band members even switched positions halfway during their set (Chris Murphy, the lead singer, played drums for a few songs, which I thought was cool). I saw them at a small venue the following year and was equally impressed.

    They would be better if they performed more of their earlier shit (ANYTHING from Illadelphalflife would be nice) rather than playing lame funk covers for a good part of their set. I will never pay to see them again.

    I kinda agree with you there. Mos Definitely better at a club show or a town they really enjoy.

    I saw them twice, the first time at a club (Rams Head Live) in a town they really enjoy (Baltimore... and I'm sure some people came down from their hometown of Philly for that show.) While the atmosphere was live as hell, I wasn't sold on the performance and setlist. In fact, I personally preferred Talib Kweli's brief performance. To each his own I guess. I can see why many like The Roots in concert; I just wish they would perform a lot of their earlier stuff.

    Now if you want to see a great rap performance that incorporates live instruments, I suggest Pharoahe Monch. He absolutely rocked the Highline Ballroom last year! He and Nas are probably the only rappers I'd want to see in concert again.

    I've been lucky to see some good Roots shows. One time the cancelled to back Eminem in the Grammy's and rescheduled. The opened up with In Da Club and Lose Yourself that night. Then Captain Kirk tore up smells like teen spirit.

    I saw em' w/ Rahzel, Jeru, and DJ shadow in 96 I think? Ill as hell. Played til almost 3 am.

    I like their new stuff, they just don't play the new stuff I like :)

    They definitely need Scratch/Rahzel or someone of that ilk on stage. Plus I'm interested in seeing their new white-boy bassist.
