Hello friends...non friends...
been a long time since i posted and i will tell you why...There were some illnesses in my family so i was keeping tabs on that...then...we get a call that my wifes grandmother had hours to live...so we raced after a day of camping to the hospital...she made it through the night but passed the next day...the wife took it really difficult yet she kept pretty quiet...with all these stresses as well as others i just didn't have it in me to write...but as time passes i will continue to write more....
now then...
Radiohead at the Hollywood Bowl:
Hollywood Bowl is one of the most awesome places to see a concert...but parking sucks really bad...i forgot you could take food into the venue so ended up spending 20 bucks on a water...soda...hot dog...and chips...
This was my first time seeing Radiohead live but have always heard of how awesome they were live...They surpassed my expectations...From the beginning of their set to the end was a light show from these tubular light bulbs hanging from the top of the stage to the bottom...the colors changed colors with the beat...there was then a still video camera on each band member that was shown on each side of the stage that kind of had an old style appearance.
Thom the lead singers voice is awesome live...First band that I have seen that is BETTER than their cd....
Another amazing part of their set was during their song "National Anthem", Jonny Greenwood, guitarist searches for radio stations and plays them on a delay...and different commercials are played during the song...its freakin awesome...at the end of National Anthem the Fletcher Jones Mercedes commercial was played...Rancho Cucamonga, Can you Hear Me?
My favorite song of the evening was Faust Arp...Freakin AWESOME live!! You see the still shot in this video

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss in your family. We have missed your blogs and comments. It's never quite the same when one of us is not participating. Our group is close (or so it seems to me) that it feels like a piece is missing when one of us disappears for a bit. But homecomings are always so nice and your blog was a great read.
Is it just me or is that a really Looooong playlist???
wow that sounds like an amazing show....
sorry about the loss, i hope your wife is doing OK. it is always hard to lose a grandmother. it has been over 20 years since my grandmother passed unexpectedly and i still get sad about it.
wrider is right, i have missed your totally random comments.
come back when you are ready.
sorry about the losses audio.. we all know it is tough
The shows sound great - keep going - hard to keep going with kids...LOL
