the roots @ the showbox, i'm still calming down. i've seen the roots about 6 times now & i will have to say that this was (by far) the best one. they added a horns section recently (also at radio city music hall). there was so much energy in the crowd & on stage. they did a bob dylan cover (masters of war) & a few james brown covers as well, including funky drummer which is said to be the most sampled song ever.

here's the set list for the second show according to the okayplayer discussion board:

dilltastic vol won(derful)
false media
game theory
don't feel right
in the music
take it there
baby
here i come
long time
livin' in a new world
clock with no hands
atonement
can't stop this
