We got an exclusive throwback today from The Roots crew.  This gem is from back in 1999, in the Things Fall Apart era of The Legendary.  During their encore, The Roots tore into Y’All Know Who with special guest Craig Harris adding to the vibes on a didgeridoo (yes, you read that correctly).  Here is our exclusive video and audio, and be sure to download their entire set from Montreux over at our sister site, TheRootsLive.com.  Also check out the ATWL Vimeo channel for more live concert videos.
