On November 13th The Roots played a special private show at Chicago's Vic Theater, along with Cee-Lo.  Thanks to RubyHornet we got some live footage from the night, including vid of some Roots' faves, "Rising Up," (which kicks off with Tuba Gooding, Jr. on the sousaphone, and The Roots on the hand-claps), "In The Music," "Star," and an incredible ?uesto drum solo, featuring Frankie Knuckles on percussion.  K-Mack, I see you.  Rubyhornet also managed to catch Cee-Lo's 30 minute set with The Legendary, which included some Goodie Mob, some Gnarls (of course), and some solo joints.  We're also treated to an interview with Cee-Lo where he speaks on future projects, Chi-town, and his growth as a performer.  After the jump we've got all the videos, although visual quality isn't spectacular, they're still definitely worth the watch (and listen).
