Long Over Do in so many ways

When I was first discovering music, I mean really figuring out what "I" liked outside of the classic rock and oldies that my parents would listen too, Radiohead's The Bends came out. I was instantly consumed and connected by Thom Yorke's soothing vocals and beautiful melodies. I was 12 then, I'm 25 now and can sincerely say that they have always been my favorite band. Their music has never left me, always been their for me like a best friend. The comforting echo of Thom's voice has always lingered with me, never wanting it to go away. I grew up with their music by my side. I always wanted to see them in concert, to witness them and experience them in person. My sister as lucky as she is, and not as desperate as I was to see them, got to see them three times before I did. Through the past thirteen years, 11 of them actual concert going years, it has not been easy to get tickets for their show. Finally with my desperation and determination my oppurtunity came. In August they played two shows back to back at the Hollywood Bowl and I made sure I was at one of them. These are some of my video's from the concert, they are poor quailty because my seats were pretty far from the stage (like most Hollywood Bowl seats). But the music speaks for itself. It was by far the best concert I have been to. My next goal...front row seats.
