The ROOT! Compendium - Archive

September 28, 2007

ROOT! took the stage at The Espy, on the AFL's "Grand Final Eve".

Thank God You're Here is [...] the same thing they performed the night before at the Rob Roy which was on teh setlist as #3/4 (It was Henri Root! He said "Thank God you're here. The comedy festival wants us to appear.") The intro was about the AFL Grand Final only being in existence so that Mark Seymour has somewhere to be singing The Holy Grail. [...] I think from there it went into the one about Thom Yorke and the Coldplay guy, etc.

Thanks to KingBean for the setlist and overview.
