In 1995, The Roots burst onto the scene with their seminal debut album, Do You Want More?!!!??! which garnered critical acclaim and cemented them as a powerhouse group fusing elements of various genres with their signature live instrumentation. Thirty years later, in March of 2025, The Roots played a three-day, six-show residency at the legendary Blue Note Jazz club in New York City, where they celebrated their debut by playing it in full – performing many tracks that hadn’t been performed live in decades. The performance also brought out special guest appearances from long-time collaborators, Ursula Rucker, Dice Raw, and Rahzel, the Godfather of Noise.
To cap off the 30th Anniversary, The Roots will release the full performance on vinyl. The 2xLP, gatefold package is pressed with Blue & Black, A Side B Side effect, and features 21 tracks. ?uestlove spent tireless hours perfecting the mixing and mastering with Glen Forrest and Colin Mohnacs to ensure all elements of the performance were represented on the vinyl. The album will see a Record Store Day Essentials exclusive release on Black Friday, November 28, 2025.
