The Roots Hook Up Party Jams, Led Zep Cover at All Points West

8/9/08, 11:07 pm EST


The Roots worked extra hard on Saturday at All Points West, turning the moody, apocalyptic songs off their last two albums into monster party jams — “Long Time” was fast and loose, “Criminal” was a funk beast. Catering to the jam-friendly audience, their “You Got Me” was a sprawling epic, complete with a Rogers and Hammerstein interpolation, a one-handed Eddie Hazel-style guitar solo and a brief cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” that made everyone go apeshit … or at least everyone who didn’t leave in the mass exodus during the bass solo, all attempting to get good spots for Radiohead, naturally.
