- Halloween Organ Concert at US Naval Academy - the Mids put on an amazing evening of fabulous performances of music, drama, and comedy to celebrate a favorite holiday. If they don't cancel this as "unnecessary frivolity in a time of war," check this show out next year.
- Caleb Stine featuring Shodekeh - Austin Grill, Baltimore, MD - Love Caleb, and Shodekeh, a local beatboxer, was just incredible. Truly an amazing show, and it was free!
- The Killers with the Silver Beats and Red Romance (April 2007, Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA) - BEST SHOW EVER! After seeing the Killers in Philly in December on the same tour, I was a bit trepidatious that this show wouldn't stand up. Instead, it blew the other show out of the water! The band seemed to be having even more fun, was more polished, and just rocked harder. The lighting/stage show was fabulous, too, and I couldn't have asked for more. As an additional note, the Silver Beats, a Beatles cover band from Tokyo, were also killer. If you are ever in Tokyo, you must look these guys up - they are amazing. Red Romance were fine, but they annoyed me by saying "Thank you, Fairfax." As if anyone there actually was from Fairfax. It's DC, you weirdos!

how was the setlist for Radiohead (2004, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD) ?
I saw them in Manchester, uk, in 2003. granted the setlist was mainly dominated by Hail to the thief, there were also some other good ones there. such as rarely played Fog and Climbing The Walls.
Sorry I just saw this question! I would imagine that the setlist was about the same as you described, but I must confess that I wasn't so well versed in their stuff to know at that point, and I can't remember now. The bummer about MPP is that the residents of the neighborhood require concerts end at 10pm sharp. It was a weird, abrupt end to the concert - that much I remember ...
Actually, after some web searching, this concert seems to have been in 2003. Oops. Assuming that's the one I actually attended, the setlist is here:
