MGD's Genuine Flow Concert Series Hits Chicago; Features The Roots & Cee-Lo [Exclusive Coverage]
Chicago, IL -- Last Thursday, DJBooth.net was invited to the Miller Genuine Draft “
Genuine Flow
” concert in Chicago. The event, which was held at the legendary Vic Theatre, featured performances by
and
Cee-Lo
.
Prior to the show, DJBooth was granted brief interviews with both Cee-Lo and ?uestlove of The Roots. Unfortunately, do to a “scheduling conflict,” ?uestlove was unavailable for his interview. However, Cee-Lo came through on his end and sat down with us for ten good minutes; we discussed Barack Obama’s entrance into the White House, the future of Gnarls Barkley, and the 2009 return of Goodie Mob.
Watch Cee-Lo’s interview with our very own DJ “Z” below
:
Hosted by WGCI’s
Tony Sculfield
, “Genuine Flow” provided the sold out crowd with a unique opportunity; not only did both acts perform their own individual sets, but they also joined forces for an unbeatable 45 minute set together. The Roots played many of their hits, including “
The Seed 2.0
” and “
Break You Off
,” while Cee-Lo dazzled with an alternate version of “
Crazy
” and ended the evening with an un-backed a cappella treat.
Those in attendance included
Adewale Ogunleye
of the Chicago Bears, and recording artists
,
Ben Sity
, and
Coldhard
of Crucial Conflict.
