Radiohead

Saw them yesterday at old trafford cricket ground. I must admit, it was probably one of the best gigs that i've been to. The even played Just and Fake Plastic Trees. Absolutely fantastic.

Very cool. I can't wait for the show next month.

Good stuff.

Idioteque! That was it. I couldn't remember the name of it. Wasn't Just just fantastic. I didn't think the would play it, being that Mark Ronson has made it popular among non-radiohead masses. I think that musically, radiohead are propbably one of the most accomplished bands of our time. Some of the beats that the hold together are mindblowing. Bit of a trek from Portsmouth to Manchester, Ted, that's what I call devotion.

radiohead are amazing... i love hail to the theif. and they were my favourite band... WERE!

Who's seen the newest From the Basement footage of them performing In Rainbows songs? It's fantastic!

I'm going to see them tonight! We've got pit tickets....WOOT!

Very psyched I am. I just wanna soak it all in.

that is sooo unfair!!

(elbow in october though...)

Waaahhhh! What an amazing show! Definitely takes a spot as one of my all time top five shows. I didn't want it to end!

We were about 10 rows back in the pit. There was a nice incline to the pit area so it was absolutely perfect. So great to see them up close and personal and fully immerse in the whole scene.

What a night.

Wow opened with Reckoner... awesome...

That is one freaking beast of a set list.

It's a shame they didn't do Just. That was a highlight in Manchester.

I'm gonna get burned... i have kid a and... an other radiohead album, i brought In Rainbows.... i still don't get it!

Try OK Computer if those ones are going over your head... then try Kid A again!!

Yeah.... that would be the other Radiohead album i own!
They're not over my head, i see what they're up too!!! I just don't want to listen to it!!! It always amuses me, Paranoid Android, is named for Marvin, In Hitchickers... A JOYFUL and hillarious book if ever there exsisted, and it seems to me Radiohead ARE marvin... no matter whats going on, they see the downside!

they opened with reckoner... bit of a weak opener... you need the thumping of there there as an opener!!!!

It would seem that Jonny disagrees.

ah. i think that the setlist is awesome but i remember watching them at glasto and opening with there there and it was truly amazing!!!! reckoner isnt a good opener.

Ah damn you got House Of Cards and Wolf At The Door. Wish we'd had that at Manc!

I guess I'm not so picky as some of you. I have not one complaint about the show. They sounded amazing, the audience was loving them, they were loving us back...I had a huge smile plastered across my face pretty much the entire time.

I could easily become a Radiohead-head and follow them all over the place.

Hahah, 'The What?'. Good man.

That's wicked.I would love to see them but it's far too much money.
