Radiohead - Page 1691

I remember my first ever Radiohead gig... He looked straight at me at some point and I nearly melted, he was that charming.

Officially back from Manchester, TN and my verdict on Radiohead at Bonnaroo:

Three main reasons:
1) The band was uncharacteristically making a lot of mistakes. The most notable example is Feral where someone was horribly off pitch for the first half of the song.
2) You had much of the crowd expecting another Bonnaroo 2006 so they couldn't help but be disappointed.
2) Thom's voice was completely shot by the 1st encore. Also sounded drunk on a lot of songs.

They let people in the concourse (?) at 5:00, WASTE people first. Yay! Then we had to split up into 4 "fan club" box office lines to get our wristbands and entrance tickets, then move over to one of 6 different lines. Then they opened the main doors at 6:00. Then we ran down the long, horribly uneven stairs to (the back of) GA, and similar to you and Christa we noticed open spots by Ed so that's where we went. What a relief after all the mess from the disorganization at the Palace!

So, as you noticed before I posted what the Palace employees were telling people; they would send people away if they tried to enter the parking lot before 4:00. Well, I decided that even though I went up there in the morning, just for shiggles I'll go up again around 1:30 to check things out in person. I am SO glad I did that, because the Palace changed their minds (probably due to numerous complaints) and let people start to wait outside. So I booked it back to my house (just a few miles up the road) to pick up hubby, camera and tickets, and booked it back. One of the WASTErs was writing numbers on hands to indicate order arrival, and I was 63. But by the time the process I noted above went through, we were more like 100 or so. But hey... everything worked out!

I felt bad for a couple of girls that were next to us outside in line; they decided to leave to go use the restroom at the McDonalds up the road, and when they came back about 15 minutes later the Palace started charging for parking! So they had to pay $15 to get back inside, even though they were there before us! That made me realize that indeed that is why the Palace wanted everyone to wait until 4:00... because they wanted to be able to charge everyone for parking. Ugh.

Yes indeed! And he was actually chatting with a few of us between a couple of songs, that was great!

I was a little annoyed by the security guard that was in between Ed and Thom the whole time, because he almost seemed to have a condescending "wtf is this music" attitude the whole time. He kept glancing at the other security dude by us and they were laughing. I'm thinking to myself just shutup and look forward and do your job, numnuts!

I'll post some pictures shortly. I did get a few videos, but not too many because I wanted to enjoy the concert more (plus the guy next to me was pretty much recording the whole thing, so I can just rely on his vids if he loads them up to YouTube in the next few days).

Oh and I found it rather amusing that after completely avoiding watching/listening to Identikit this whole time so that way I could listen to it live as my first experience... they didn't even play it.

Well, my plot was foiled! (Although I did get a full video of Full Stop, maybe I'll try to upload that tomorrow. Err, I suppose that would be today.)

Here's some pics. The fog that hung around from the Caribou set really screwed up the focus on my camera, but oh well.

A view from the front (I don't know why people don't think to take this)

awesome! sounds like Ed's side is the best side to be on. Glad everything worked out for you!

How were Caribou? (I will ask this for every show on this god damn tour)

Ms Magpie · 12-06-2012, 04:12 PM

The venue situation looks like a major clusterfuck. Why so many different gates and lines and whatnot? They were only making it worse for themselves. I feel sorry for the girls who had to pay for parking there but at least the car park was close. It could be much worse.

I'm jealous you had the chance to chat with Ed! (Great pics, btw, I love them!)

Christa42 · 12-06-2012, 11:41 PM

Carrie, your zoom is awesome, what camera do you have? once again so happy for you

It's a Canon PowerShot SD780 IS. Small little bugger, it can fit in your pocket! Although like I mentioned, most of the pics would have turned out better if that fog from the Caribou set hadn't lingered around; the camera had a hard time focusing on the auto setting. I could have turned it to manual; it would have turned been more "crisp" in terms of the coloring, but it would have been more blurry (if that makes any sense).

Here are some of the videos; remember to clicky up to HD! (first one's for Mike, ha ha ha):

Oh my gosh. Ed. He's so beautiful. I just...I can't even.

Carrie, you're amazing.

I'm glad everything went well for you.

Ms Magpie · 13-06-2012, 01:31 PM

^I agreeee.

Less than one month. Uhhh let me count the days.

21 DAYS.

the_gloaming09 · 14-06-2012, 05:39 PM

They were great as always last night! Really glad they played Like Spinning Plates, I Might Be Wrong, Kid A, House of Cards!

That's 3 of 4 shows down. One more left... in Montreal!

Blue Nails · 14-06-2012, 05:40 PM

^^^^Great pics and videos!

I don't know if you guys know this, but there's a Twitter account called @radioheadlive and they tweet setlist updates during the shows, which is awesome. Very exciting to read, especially if you're seeing them soon.

I would have liked to have those 2 (for various reasons).

Ah well, I suppose I can't really complain!

We had Kid A also; btw in regard to that, when I was waiting in line outside, multiple people were like "omfg *@$@#*&$_$*" your license plate!

If someone needs a ticket for Berlin 1 or 2, some guy on Atease is selling them.
