Radiohead in STL

Getting back to bloggin' after a great show last night in the STL... Opening act was The Liars. Meh... They were just ok, dawg. Then the main event. It was a solid performance, great but not transcendent. Unfortunately, with Radiohead you come to expect transcendent. Kinda like watching a world record longjumper jump two feet less than their record mark. It's still better than almost anyone else can do, but you can't exactly call it a personal best effort either, right? I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

Setlist is below. High points were Jigsaw, Bangers & Mash, the rare Fake Plastic Trees, and an amazing Paranoid Android. Low points were the saggy middle of the set and the full, painful 2 hours wait to get out of the parking lot after the show...
