This is where I was last night
(It’s a poor video, so in case it’s not clear, I was at the Radiohead/Grizzly Bear concert in Camden, NJ. Incredible.)
And all shall be well and / All manner of thing shall be well / When the tongues of flame are in-folded / Into the crowned knot of fire / And the fire and the rose are one. — T.S. Eliot

I've heard their most recent tour is incredible...anything unexpected?
Yeah, I went with John and a couple other PhD students. We had a great time.
That's exactly how I feel about U2. I've been screwed out of going in the past, and it seems like everyone else has already gone.
The Radiohead show was, of course, fantastic. The sampling by Jonny was really good. Overall, they streamlined their songs, and typical high moments like "Idioteque" sounded even better in the live venue. All of the tracks from "In Rainbows" were excellent.
I also want to commend Grizzly Bear for putting on an excellent opening show. Their music continues to get better with every album, and their new songs are their best yet.
I was there too. It was my first Radiohead concert, but I was with Brian Russo (another PTS student) and it was his 17th time! Anyway, I was floored. It was incredible.
