Radiohead - May 14 in St Louis

What better reason to go for a post exam roadtrip than to see Radiohead? This was particularly exciting as it was JJ's first time seeing Radiohead!



After filling our bellies with Roper's Ribs and fighting through horrible traffic, we managed to make it to our 11th row seats


at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Maryland Heights just 10 minutes before Radiohead came on. Thom walked onto a stage with Tibetan flags and began crooning All I Need. Eerily beautiful although I must admit that he does look older and his voice used to be more strong and powerful.


Those tube light things were really cool. Here the entire stage is lit up in blue:


The 2.5 hour set was amazing filled with lots of old favourites and the entire In Rainbows album. What an awesome show! I'm glad we drove all the way to see Radiohead this close. They never fail to deliver.
