you better believe it! aug 27th in san diego. my favorite band and this will be my first time seeing them live. me and the wife seriously cannot wait

[Mon Rominee]

I'm trying to surprise my Wifey with tickets....

Last I saw them was front-row center on the OK Computer tour (w/ Dandy Warhols, Teenage Fanclub)...August 17, 1997...iirc. THAT was an amazing, transcendent show.

Saw them again on that tour April 15 1998 (Ed O'Brien's birthday, btw...) and it was good, but not as amazing as the outdoor show....but, they DID have Spiritualized open the show, and that was really freakin cool.

Really hope to land some tix for them swinging through in August.

I'm seeing them in Mass.

My general feeling is one of

[SirCanealot]

Wanted to see them when they play London this summer, but I'm not really interested in paying $100 for a ticket

[Jared Lash]

I will be seeing them in SF along with about half a million other bands (Tom Petty, Wilco, Primus, Jack Johnson, Beck, Lyrics Born, Jackie Greene, Ben Harper, Broken Social Scene etc) at the Outside Lands Festival.

Apparently Radiohead is headlining Friday with Beck as the lead in act. Sweet.

I'm going to catch them on August 4th, I believe it is, in Montreal.

I am inexplicably excited.

I saw them this past Sunday at the Nissan pavilion in Bristow VA. The weather was horrible. I have not been caught in a downpour like that in a long time.

But Radiohead put on the best performance I've ever seen. I loved ever second of it, soaked to the bone and freezing. I went into the night with about 5 songs I really wanted them to play; Lucky, Everything in Its Right Place, Planet Telex, and There There. They played all of them except for There There, which I would kill to see live. Lucky is my favorite song, so I was jumping up and down when they came in with fade-in intro. Not to mention they played all of In Rainbows, which is such an awesome album.

As you said, Fake Plastic Trees was so beautiful. I have about 10x more respect for that song, which I've always loved. Videotape was also amazing.

Wish I could see Airbag and My Iron Lung, those are such good songs.

I was so impressed with the flawlessness in their performance, especially the obscure sounds.

Funny moment was when they started playing Faust Arp, got about a minute into the song and then restarted it because Greenwood missed a note haha

I would have loved to see Karma Police live, but unforunately they didn't play that one. I was excited when they played "There There" and two of the guitiarists were playing drums at the front of the stage.

As you can see, you really have to be there to appreciate "Fake Plastic Trees". It really surprised me how taken I was by that song. Something about 21,000 people at peace with each other and concentrating on the same thing that's unique. I think that was the same song that everybody on the lawn had their lighter on.
