Happy to help

CHAIRMAN_LMAO · 2017-06-09T10:30:52.922Z

Bloody love Jazz Café. And love that it’s become the go-to venue for rap acts of yore. Saw London Posse there the other night. Always such a good atmosphere.

anon5266188 · 2017-06-09T10:31:27.730Z

Aye, it’s a great place. Can’t wait for this, should set my Roots live experience to rights after the disappointing Brixton Academy experience

CHAIRMAN_LMAO · 2017-06-09T10:47:56.595Z

When was that? I haven’t seen them in years. Since they were still touring with Rahzel in fact! Must be late 90s…

anon5266188 · 2017-06-09T10:48:36.938Z

Couple of years ago. Was so hyped for it despite knowing what a shithole Brixton Academy is, they were good but the sound was just awful.

CHAIRMAN_LMAO · 2017-06-09T10:51:48.288Z

Ah right. Sound is decent in Jazz Café. Well, it’s tiny so that helps obviously.

anon5266188 · 2017-06-09T10:53:09.576Z

Can’t wait. Love that it’s only a few weeks away as well, big fan of gig announcements that aren’t like three months in advance of the show.

CHAIRMAN_LMAO · 2017-06-09T16:00:33.059Z

Same.

Rooting around in my box of old tickets and found…

No year, but pretty sure it was 97.

anon5266188 · 2017-06-09T16:01:28.918Z

Nice! Fuckin’ £12.50 those were the days. Literally £50 for this one…

CHAIRMAN_LMAO · 2017-06-09T16:08:36.875Z

Yeah, I saw that. And £90 for VIP! Which I’m guessing means sitting upstairs where you HAVE to order a meal. Would like to see them again, and Jazz Cafe would be perfect, but I snoozed and I loozed.

littlebirds · 2017-06-09T17:35:47.229Z

Feel it’s worth it. This is gonna be the real deal. Looks like a long set too!

anon5266188 · 2017-06-09T18:09:23.258Z

Can’t wait.

littlebirds · 2017-07-03T12:25:11.959Z

Well that was fucking incredible. Only complaint is that their catalogue is so deep that in a couple of hours there’s so much I’d still want to see them play in that venue with that sound. Otherwise, flawless. You’re going to have a blast @anon5266188

anon5266188 · 2017-07-03T12:44:05.191Z

Can’t fucking wait! What kind of a setlist was it? Career spanning?

littlebirds · 2017-07-03T13:07:52.893Z

Heaviest on Things Fall Apart but yeah career spanning. A fair amount of jamming and covers too but that’s really an integral part of who the Roots are now and they’re so great at it. Don’t want to make any spoilers in case it’s a similar set (though presume they’ll switch it up) but yeah, really brilliant
