With the highly anticipated release of The Roots’ latest masterpiece, Rising Down, we're back with three new shows from The Tipping Point era. Speaking of new music from The Roots, make sure to check out the videos for “75 Bars (Black’s Reconstruction)" and “Get Busy” on the new Okayplayer. 

A few months before the release of Game Theory, The Roots performed a career-spanning show at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. The April 2006 show, also available in lossless FLAC format over at Etree, features hits like “The Seed” and an extended rendition of “You Got Me,” as well as lesser-played songs like “What You Want,” “Dynamite!” and “What They Do.” 

Additionally, we’re also providing two June 2004 shows from before The Tipping Point’s release. We set the table with the first Roots concert I ever attended, their opening act-performance on 311’s summer tour at Detroit’s DTE Energy Center and follow it up with The Legendary performing overseas at Hultsfredsfestivalen in Sweden. Both shows feature some of the earliest performances of songs like “Web” and “I Don’t Care.” 

Stay tuned for more updates in the near future.
