I had a tremendous concert week. Monday was Radiohead, live at the Blossom Music Center near Akron. Truly amazing. This show was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before musically or visually. Very Impressive, eerie, sensory overload!
Here's a review from the Plain Dealer: http://www.cleveland.com/plaindealer/stories/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-0/1218011496135640.xml&coll=2
Friday and Saturday was the New American Music Festival on the Southside in Pittsburgh. Very well put together by Anthony Kiedis. He did appear but did not perform. Friday was the Black Keys and The Roots. Saturday was Gnarls Barkley, The Raconteurs, and Bob Dylan.
I was most excited to see Gnarls Barkley who did not dissapoint. Cee-Lo's voice was booming and soulful. Great beats and sounds. They blew me away by playing 'Reckoner' a cover from Radioheads 'In Rainbows'. It really brought the week to an end full circle for me. That song is awesome and powerful. A great choice to cover. They have a recent concert from London on MSN which has much of the same set list....check it ot:

Bob Dylan closed out the festival. He didn't sound great vocally but I'd seen him before and kind of knew to expect that. The harmonica was there though.
That's all really. An Awesome week of live music.
