K'NAAN is the first performance we saw at Lollapalooza. They were very interesting. After this we saw The Black Lips who were a little disappointing. The day looked up after this though when we went to a minor stage and saw Manchester Orchestra (top right) who was great. We saw several more acts throughout the day including Gogol Bordello, The Raconteurs, and some of Louis XIV. As soon The Raconteurs played "Steady as She Goes" all of the Radiohead fans left. Unfortunately we left to see
Radiohead (bottom right) about two songs later. After waiting about a quater mile from the stage for half an hour they started to play. Being the only band headlining that night meant the crowd was enormous. A band like Radiohead does not work well for me in large crowds. Most of the time was spent looking at the people who climbed the speaker towers . We left early from Radiohead to go see Brand New play with Manchester Orchestra and Kevin Devine at the House of Blues. What I saw of Kevin Devine was good, Manchester Orchestra was amazing and Brand New put on a great show. It was an amazing concert even though I was exausted from Lollapalooza. It was a great first day of 
Lollapalooza. Unfortunately the Bloc Party concert tonight with Cansei de Ser Sexy and Does it Offend You, Yeah? at the House of Blues is sold our so we cannot go. We will have to find something else to do after Rage Against the Machine/ Wilco tonight
