radiohead

with their 2000 marque show in nijmegen in the back of my head as one of the greatest gigs i ever saw (sigur ros was doing support for that one), radiohead returned to my daily schedule with a rambling yet impressive two hour show last night at the heineken music hall in amsterdam. a beautiful mixture of those songs known, hardly known and new, the band proved to be still in charge when it comes to writing excellent songs and playing them accordingly. tonight up for a second show with a different setlist.

hawkwind - hall of the mountain grill
sonic youth - dirty
the smiths - strangeways here we come
radiohead - ok computer
