Logging the brief list of the shows I've been to so I don't lose them in the fog of memory.

Artist * * * (rating)
-> Venue
-> Date
-> Notes
-> Pictures (if any were taken)

Gigs ordered chronologically and rated on six star scale: * * * * * *
* = Pitiful/Upsetting
* * =Mediocre/Meh.
* * * =Good/Worthwhile
* * * * =Great/Exceptional
* * * * * =Brilliant/Enchanting

The Roots * * *

-> Spring 2006

Radiohead * * * * * [x1] + The Black Keys * *
-> Montréal @ Place Des Arts
-> June 10, 2006
-> The opera house made an ideal venue, and the show was brilliant, as expected. They played about half new songs and half old, including favorites how to disappear completely, everything in it's right place, street spirit, climbing up the walls, pyramid song, there there, and 2+2=5. Nude and house of cards were two standouts among the new songs. …

“Brutha Voodoo Theme” by the wiggly tendrils

"Jamie" by Akira the Don
"Pull Shapes" by The Pipettes
