For the first time ever, I'll visit two concerts by the same artist back to back! Well, it's not just "a" artist, it's after all Radiohead's Thom Yorke!
When Oliver and I first heard about Thom Yorke giving two shows in New York, we were super excited, of course, but were also afraid that our usual un-luck with getting such much coveted tickets would strike. Come ticket purchase day, we nevertheless, made sure to have all our laptops and Mac machines fired up, and while Oliver tried to get tickets for the Tuesday show, I tried for the Monday one and what can I say?
We BOTH got lucky! Since this is a paperless ticket event, where they try to keep the scalping as low as possible (people still scalp though!) one needed to appear with credit card, and ID in order to get access. Still not being fully back home from my recent South America trip, I did not have the credit card with me I ordered the tickets with, but with the help of my American Express Gold Card as well as the original email confirmation available in my iPhone, we got access!
What can I say about a concert by Thom Yorke? It's awesome and breathtaking - of course! The bar is set so high! The fellow musicians are at their best and know exactly what they do.
It was an awesome show and makes me want for more...
... lucky me, I will get more. Tomorrow!
