Last night, at The Beacon Theatre, I attended a concert promoting the release of Todd Haynes' new film, I'm Not There. The Roots were last to perform; they received a standing ovation - and rightly so - after their stirring, sousaphone-infused rendition of "Masters of War." I haven't been to a show this good in a long, long time.

The video is from a DC show earlier this year. The sound quality is right on.
