No way....fantastic sound, musicians, and multiple singers. The show blended Jamaican dub and dancehall reggae influences with downtempo jazz, hip hop and bossa nova. It wasn't just the 2 of them, they had a group of musicians (including a sitar player) and the following singers:

Sultry Italian/Icelandic singer Emilana Torrini, the Persian/French sensuality of chanteuse LouLou, who with Pamela Bricker represent the unmistakable vocal trademark of Thievery Corporation. Cape Verde singer Patrick Dos Santos and Cuban Vernie Verela contribute deeply rooted latin vibes emotional at the core, while Shinehead, Notch, Sleepy Wonder and Desmond Williams toss a funky reggae party in the mix.

People were groovin all night and the smell of weed filled the theatre!

Whoa!! now this sounds like something i would wanna see!! i dig TC, it's just i didn't think they would come across well in a live setting.

Damn, shinehead is still around? lol i dig some of the stuff i've heard by Emilana Torrini, i had no idea she was down with TC.

They're coming to chicago soon, i might have to drive down for that one. Trust me i'd be one of the people contributing to the aroma. nod blunt
