Agreed. Actually, I'd expand this to include quite a lot of "Live" Hip Hop... the only act I can think of that did the rock band thing right were Public Enemy about 10 years ago and even then they let Flava Flav loose on the drums for about 20 minutes at the show I saw.
The Roots make music for people who used to be B-Boys but are now PTA-Dads.

The first 50 or so seconds of south London boroughs is one of the greatest pieces of music imo
