"Thought@work"
[Apache segue]
James Brown/showtime filler with "Can I get some help?!"
"How I Got Over"
and then Black Thought said good night to everyone and Chuck Brown came out for 15 minutes
-real soulful flow into-
"The Fire"
Chrissette Michele came out and played two of her songs, saying that The Roots crew were her favorite band in the world and she was beyond happy to be with them in Philly. They kicked into
"Rising Down"
"You Got Me"
Captain Kirk's flow, with hints of OutKast's "Spotie Otie Dopalicious" and John Cougar's "Paper and Fire"
"The Next Movement"
"The Seed 3.0"
Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield
and then two more songs I did not even recognize. When they were done, it was almost 945PM, and i believe there was still a blue ridge of evening twilight on that western sky. Great show.
Three young boys were shot and wounded at 34th and Haverford after the fireworks. The youngest was shot in the chest and the back of the head. The gunman apparently opened fire into the crowd and fled in a car. This was two hours after we left. Let us think of his family and hope that the gunman slips up later and gets caught before he hurts anyone else.
Addendum,
The high school spohmore died last night of his wounds.
