Two videos!

Why has May been so rainy? Here's hoping for a sunny weekend so I can play some golf...

Ok on to the task at hand. I'm sure there's a Friday video that I missed over the course of the last 75 posts, so today, I figured I would post two.

The first is some footage of Radiohead playing the totally unexpected "Fake Plastic Trees" from last Sunday's epic performance at Nissan Pavilion. For a variety of reasons, I really can't stop thinking about this show, and despite the rain, I just really want to express how incredible they were live from both an auditory and visual perspective, so I hope this video does them some justice. It's not professional by any means, but it does the trick. Keep your eye on lead guitarist Johnny Greenwood from 2 1/2 minute mark on...




For the second video, since our summer season begins in FIVE days (yikes!), I wanted to post some footage of the Lord of the Rings live film with orchestra and choral performance from the North American premiere in Winnipeg, Canada. The production makes its United States debut this Wednesday the 21st at the Filene Center, with an encore performance on Thursday the 22nd.

For a more comprehensive description of what to expect, check out this article written by Ellen McCarthy found in the weekend section of today's Washington Post. Hope to see you out next week for our 2008 summer opener! In the meantime, enjoy your weekend!
