This past week has been concert-heavy.
- Jeff Mangum, April 9th and 10th
- Radiohead, April 11th
- Infantree, April 15th
Because we’re enthusiastic and ridiculous, Kevin and I decided (when we bought tickets months ago) to attend both of Jeff Mangum’s Fox Theatre shows, standing in general admission on Monday, April 9th, and sitting in the balcony on Tuesday the 10th. Both were excellent. Mr. Mangum encouraged singalong, which made the evening feel like one of many nighttime drives spent belting out his words with my sweetheart. After the regular set on the first night, everyone applauded him back for an encore (which was expected), and then AGAIN, FOR ANOTHER ONE after that, during which he played “Engine” to our disbelieving excitement.

For his second performance, Jeff Mangum played several of the same songs, but shook it up a bit with “A Baby for Pree” and new song, “Little Birds.” I would post the setlist, but the only one I can find on setlist.fm is incorrect. He did a second encore on this night, too, with “Engine” and “Aeroplane” for #1 and “Gardenhead” for #2. Woo!
Wednesday the 11th was Radiohead’s show at the HP Pavilion. It was Radiohead! Great sound, great energy, two long encores, and a very dancey crowd, which was refreshing!
