USA Trip - New York - Roots concert

Last Thursday, I have attended one of the best events ever. In New York's famous Radio City Hall, The Roots were playing.
One of my favourite songs by them is this one.

It was unbelievable: apart from their new songs, they played several hip hop songs from the 80s, all with real instruments!
2 piano players, 2 trumpets, one sax, 2 drummers, erikah badu singing (the lady from the video above) and several special guests. they were improvising together... i have never seen anything like this!

They also had Rahzel on stage: this guy is insane: he can imitate 2 instruments and perform vocals at the same time...

The coolest moment of the concert was when they performed "If I ruled the world" by Nas. Erikah Baduh singing the part "We'll walk right up to the sun---hand in hand" was incredible beautiful.
