Jimmy Fallon-Holiday Road

[samthrax]

Yes, I recorded it off the TV but I did it for friends who missed the parade and really wanted to see the combo of Fallon, The Roots and LB so get over it.

1. "Jimmy's band" is also known as The Legendary (and Grammy award winning) Roots Crew aka The Roots. They're not just Jimmy's "show band" or anything like that. Questlove (the drummer) and Black Thought (Tariq, the guy singing with Jimmy) are legends. They're doing the Fallon show for a paycheck and just because they can get away with it. They still get out and tour and they're working on an album right now. I just HATE that they're reduced to just being Jimmy's show band. Like, Max Weinberg wasn't just a bum drummer waiting for Conan to find him. Seriously people. Sorry, that touches a nerve.

2. The entire medley is incredibly ridiculous and awesome. To follow up Holiday Road with Christmas in Hollis is just out of control.

3. FYI, Questlove tweeted a "yacht rock" playlist when they had Christopher Cross on the show a couple months ago and Trouble made his list. I'd like to think he's a closet Lindsey fan. He looked awfully happy singing along to Holiday Road here. heh.
