Aftershow News: 28th May 2003

Radiohead live at Shepherds Bush Empire on Sat 24 May 2003 . The downstairs backstage bar is very busy and lively with 200 guests. All the band eventually turn up and Thom Yorke is happy to chat to everyone. MTV/XFM/Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe tells me that Radioheads second show here will be shown in full on MTV on Sunday 08 June 2003.The free drinks flowed till 1am thanks to Parlophone/EMI .Did not see any other celebs but a very enjoyable evening. Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band live at Crystal Palace Sports Arena , London 26/27 May 03. I must say that seeing Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band do a 3 hour set at C . Palace was superb and they made Radiohead look like a very average band indeed .I was backstage for both of the Bruce C. Palace shows and both nights the band went straight from stage to tour bus to their central London hotel . They have a proper pub backstage at The Arena which was nice but no celebs i could see and no free drinks but it was lovely to spend an hour there while all the traffic outside died down a bit.
