Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry with them and I completely understand the band need to postpone the gigs for their own sake. I'm just disappointed I won't be seeing them as soon as I'd hoped. At least I've seen them already; I can't imagine how those who didn't feel like at this point.

Awful, really awful.

I really really really hope for that too. If I'm not able to see them live, then I'm not going to refund, but give money to Scott's family. (I read on Mortigi or AtEase that this is somehow possible too.)

Ms Magpie · 25-06-2012, 05:49 PM

Do not give money to anyone UNLESS Radiohead or Scott's family specifically asked for that.

The gig's gonna be rescheduled for September so don't plan anything for autumn just yet!!

Alien Radio · 25-06-2012, 06:16 PM

^Uh I guess you're right. I'm just really shattered with all these happenings.

I still hope that they will reschedule it for August, so I can see them while on Summer holidays.
But September's okay too I hope.

EDIT: And btw, is it confirmed that it will be rescheduled for September?

Not yet (I don't think), but considering they already had most of August/September off on their schedule anyway, that seems to be the most likely scenario.

That gig was like the one utterly great fantastic happy thing I was looking forward to for a couple of years now (well, not THAT gig, but seeing them live one day), so major, major blow. The drum tech's death makes it very easy to abstain from self-pity though, non?

I hope they'll be able to cheer up before they start touring again, in celebration of Scott and life and stuff...

Mrk · 25-06-2012, 08:36 PM

We'll get the new dates in two days

Well it's not confirmed but I got insider info that I'm pretty sure is accurate. They couldn't tell me the exact day as they didn't know it just yet but they said it's definitely in September (and I didn't even ask when the gig would take place).

Mostly lolled at the comparison to phish, and the fact that he appealed to 'meeting people is easy' to explain why he thinks they shouldn't tour 14 years after the fact. Hope he doesn't get payed for this drivel.

I'm afraid he does

He'll keep getting paid if people keep viewing his articles so I am really just fueling the fire but oh well

Ms Magpie · 29-06-2012, 11:59 AM

I don't understand why anyone would take that article seriously.

NumbersGirl · 29-06-2012, 05:16 PM

The guy uses this as the "basis" for his argument::

Quote:
But it has highlighted the band's more ordinary difficulties-and even fundamental disagreements-with the mechanics of live performance.

Ummm... exactly how is that unique to Radiohead? OH WAIT IT'S NOT

I understand some of the points he's trying to make, but using the above statement as the basis pretty much makes his argument moot imho.

Nobody would have been writing stuff like this if the stage hadn't collapsed. If it happened to a different band, people would have been writing the same poop about that band instead. Fickle is as fickle does. The root of the issue as far as that's concerned was highlighted in a different article recently which indicated there are proposed changes to North American ad-hoc stage set-up procedures. Part of the problem is that the support structure is comprised of aluminum because that crap is cheap to transport (because it's so light). Steel supports need to be used instead (which apparently is required to some degree in other areas of the world).
