RADIOHEAD!
These past few days, Travis and I have been driving around the state, increasing our carbon footprint, in order to catch Radiohead's 2 Florida shows.
Monday: West Palm's Show was the first night on their tour. We had 20th row seats dead center. The show was very good, but not amazing. What was amazing, however, was being close enough to see their faces. We saw when things went wrong (which actually happened multiple times), how they reacted to them, and their overall demeanor. Despite what I have always thought, Radiohead has a great time when they're playing music. It was also cool to see how human they were in their mistakes.
Tuesday: Tampa's Show was the 2nd night. We had 3rd row seats stage right. We were pretty much right in front of all the guitars on the side of the stage and had an amazing view. This show was excellent! They changed the set order and put in about 6 songs they didn't play the night before. The people behind us talked throughout the whole night. I just decided to ignore them and enjoy the show. Eventually, during the last song of the first encore, Travis turned around and told them to "SHUT THE F UP, WE'RE TRYING TO WATCH THE SHOW." It was pretty amazing. The look of surprise on the guy's face who was talking was priceless. It really was a great show.
Here's some video.

I really love how Thom Yorke dances like the retarded kid at Chuck-e-Cheeze who wasn't invited to the birthday party, but doesn't know the difference.
