One of my favorites.......2007-01-07

This is one of my most prized CDs and I don't see how anyone could be without it.

You Got Me.......2006-08-25

I really enjoyed this entire CD actually but You Got Me is what sealed the deal on this one. They have a different style about them and I would recommend this to anyone.

not all from the same show.......2005-08-26

this albums real hot but unlike a previous person said... its not just from 1 show... it was put together from different shows... its obvious when they change the lyrics around in different cities but anyways i heard the whole new kanye album... alot of the tracks were unfinished but it is real nasty u gotta buy that when it drops next week

disappointing.......2004-11-12

yes, the roots are a great live band. but this live album is disappointing. the songs are done incredibly SLLOOOWWW and therefore the whole thing suffers from a lack of energy. in fact, unless you are getting the double cd version - with the fantastic songs "what you want" and "lesson, pt 3 (its over now)" - you are better served by spending your money on a tickets to see the roots and leaving this one on the rack.

THE ROOTS COME ALIVE!!!.......2004-06-24

Ok, well, for all of you out there who have not had the opportunity to see the Roots perform live... I'm so sorry, but... There's hope. This album, a live album, is as good as live albums get. And I mean it with all certainty in the world. Normally, I wouldn't be likely to mention HIP HOP and LIVE together in a sentence that contained the words "GREAT ALBUM."

Given that factor, let me qualify: First of all, I LOVE hip hop, and I've seen some great hip hop shows. I ALSO love rock and roll and have seen some fantastic shows, but two of my favorite shows I have been to included the Roots.

Now, to the BREAD of the review. The Roots, though a hip hop group, are one of the most talented musical bands that are out there today. Every single musician in their band has amazing skill at what they do (including Black Thought, the lyricist, who is REGULARLY overlooked when it comes to great lyricists). A live Roots show is more than just a show, it's an experience. Both times I've seen the Roots live, they were "just" the opening band, and both times, they've opened and I've been privy to some jaw dropped kid looking at me and saying "wow, that was F@#king AMAZING!", soon after said Jaw-dropped kid had looked at me like I was completely crazy and in the wrong place when I went nuts at the Roots introduction to the stage.

This album, is not quite the same as a live Roots show, but, it's about as close as it gets. It's also amazingly clean in terms of production (as Roots performances are), and the setlist that is played on it is AMAZING. I only WISH I had gotten to see this setlist at the concerts I saw. If you know the Roots, then this is a must have (I had all of their studio albums before buying this, and I'd probably say that after Organix (which is a little strange to many, because it's so jazzy), this is probably my favorite).

My advice to you is to buy this album and get a ticket to see the Roots at a venue near you. THEY WILL NOT DISSAPPOINT!!!

up to the legend.......2005-06-29

For a band that self-title themselves "the legendary Roots crew", they have quite a reputation to live up to and they totally do on this DualCd Live album.
The songs are far more dynamic than their studio counterparts and the selection is quite awesome. With guest appearances by Common, Jill Scott and more, this is a sure-bet for every music lovers, for it is not only hip hop music, but a musical revolution, "the Next Movement" as they themselves would say.
Don't miss this one !

Talent...pure and simple.......2005-06-15

Hip Hop is notorious for short shows over canned beats. The Roots have the talent and love of all music, not only Hip Hop, to sustain a live album.

A good documentation of the world's best Hip Hop band and the studio tracks on the 2nd disc are killer too.

Rockin' with the Best.......2000-05-15

All Roots fans got much mire than expected with the release of " The Roots Come Alive'". Anyone who has seen them live knows they are some hard workin' brothers. This is a must have for any Roots Follower.

Best thing Goin' in Hip Hop.......2000-03-31

We all know that in today's world of mediocre Hip Hop, The Roots are a breath of fresh air. We all know they are the best thing in today's hip hop. And we all know that The Roots are da bomb.They are astoundingly better live and this album demonstartes that with ease. Black Thought has a lyrical skil that is unmatched. Rahzel and Scratch are downright dope. ?uestlove is awesme on the drums along with Leonard Hubb on bass and Kamal on the keys. This is the best shit out now. All I have to do now is actually see them in concert and I will die a happy person.

Pretty much the best CD you'll ever own.......2000-02-26

The #1 thing going in Hip Hop today is The Roots. To see them live is to witness some of the very best musicians (and I stress musicians cause these guys are extremely talented when it comes to the art of making music) that there are to offer... ever! Best album there is ever and ever will be... until The Roots come out with their next live album that is. Simply amazing. Everything is so smooth, so clean, so nice. Oh my god! Perfection! The new tracks are hot and the classics come off better than ever! BOTTOM LINE - if there is a better album out there, no matter the genre of music, no matter the time it was made. I have yet to hear it!
