a few good concerts

yep, it's been a while since i last was on a live concert, and i have to say i had two in the same week!

radiohead, at victoria park on the 25th of june, and bon jovi at twickenham on the 27th. they were both awesome. seen radiohead before in thessaloniki, some 8 years ago, and they were also amazing. this time they skipped a couple of my favourites (street spirit, fake plastic trees), but they put on a great show for the fans. highlights: my iron lung, no surprises, a couple of the new songs in the beginning, karma police (when they let the crowd keep singing at the end "for a minute there, i lost myself, i lost myself...!") and finishing with the ever atmospheric paranoid android was all great! 40,000 people enjoyed a unique experience.



bon jovi is the only concert i have ever been to that there were only 2 songs i didn't know the lyrics to (and i've been to a few). it was a great show, in american band fashion the crowd was completely involved in the whole thing, singing and dancing for 2 and a half hours. it seems like i've grown up with their songs, and so did the rest of the people there, so the connection was instant. can't even begin to list their songs, i would need two pages. but name anyone of their greatest hits, and they sang it!








in the meantime, i got the news that my best childhood friend - kostas - and his band in italy - 81db - are opening the deep purple concert in torino on july 13th! another great gig to follow then! worth visiting their website and listening to their music! all the best!
