Radiohead will start their US tour in May this year with the first dates in North America. Dates and venues are still to be confirmed. But here are the cities in alphabetical order:

Atlanta
Boston
Charlotte
Chicago
Cleveland
Dallas
Houston
Indianapolis
Los Angeles
Miami
Montreal
New York
Philadelphia
San Diego
San Francisco
Santa Barbara
Seattle
St Louis
Tampa
Toronto
Vancouver
Washington DC

The tour will be broken up into two different parts, with one taking place prior and one after their already announced European tourdates.

Indy for me, and maybe Chicago

Philly, nice. I hope they play the Tower Theater again.

Philly, nice. I hope they play the Tower Theater again.

I'm thinking spectrum.

they're gunna make me go all the way to Ohio?!

WHO CARES

I LIVE IN THE UKRAINE

WHO CARES

I LIVE IN THE UKRAINE
anarchy in ukk

Montreal, and maybe Boston for me. Hopefully most of us won't end up paying many times more than the face value of a ticket.

man i hope the date is a convenient one for me. :-/

Interesting. I wonder what the tickets will be going for.

Boston here I come! maybe.

The tour will be broken up into two different parts, with one taking place prior and one after their already announced European tourdates.

hmmmm...so i guess you can interpret that is meaning 1 part before june...and 1 part after july.

so i guess bonnaroo is out of the question. :(

but coachella maybe....in addition to chicago dates of course. :D

HI DAVIN

oooooooo Vancouver...
I'm so there

maybe seattle too

what do you think of std's?

that was directed to davin but it goes for smashing0 too!

hmmmm...so i guess you can interpret that is meaning 1 part before june...and 1 part after july.

so i guess bonnaroo is out of the question. :(

but coachella maybe....in addition to chicago dates of course. :D
I wonder if they will do Lollapalooza. Would give me an excuse to get a one-day ticket...
edit-bonnaroo has always been a no-go due to them being in france at the time...

Ooh. Thanks for posting. Hopefully I can make it out to the Houston show, depending on when it is.

yeah go on and ignore what's really important here

I'm thinking spectrum.

I doubt it. Come to think of it, since it will be in the spring maybe they will play whatever they are calling the E-Center in Camden now. They seem to consider that Philly since it is close enough.

ARGH

when is boutrous bubba album out?

it's recorded and mixed!
we first have to master it!
we will probably send it to bob weston of shellac's mastering company!
then we have to find a label!
so in some time!

wow! come to the usa and we'll open for you.

I'm thinking spectrum.

last couple times they played 'philly' at a larger venue, it was the amphitheater in camden.
i'd bet on that again. i doubt it'll be an indoor venue in the summer.

Interesting. I wonder what the tickets will be going for.


i'm hoping for a 'pay what you want' option for tickets!

SF, im there.

wow! come to the usa and we'll open for you.

awesome, that way we would have audience!

exactly!

Link me you sonofabitch or I kill you on the spot.

I should add that they are NOT CONFIRMED

anyways here is link: http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,96776.0.html

also, I'll see you all in Indianapolis (and maybe Chicago)

Yeah...I'm not going to believe that.

Fenway's had the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Buffet, the Police, and...Radiohead? I don't know.

edit: And Dave Matthews...so maybe...

when does this go on sale?

no idea as of yet, don't even know if these are the real dates...

I'm glad they are coming to Toronto

I'm glad they are coming to Toronto

That's going to be sweet! I wonder what venue they'll choose.

YES!!!! stadiums mean i get to go!

gonna be awesome

i wonder if they'll do coachella

I wonder if they will do Lollapalooza. Would give me an excuse to get a one-day ticket...
edit-bonnaroo has always been a no-go due to them being in france at the time...

well they only have 1 show during the 2 days of bonnaroo...and it wouldn't be unheard of for a band thsi size to travel back especially with such fond experiences at bonnaroo and the tradition of bonnaroo bands repeating......but you're right, they probaby won't do it for the hassle involved.

gonna be awesome

i wonder if they'll do coachella

i hope so. that would be awesome because i'm going to it for the first time this year. can;t wait for the lineup (less than 3 weeks away!)

edit: sorry, went on a major tangent there. yay radiohead!

yeah that mbv rumor has run rampant. ive heard a lot of rumors but im not going to believe any of them yet. im going either way. the one big name band i know is going to be there are the breeders, they've already confirmed. aside from that, don't know just yet.

there was a third day last year, so it'll stick.

By all accounts MBV isn't playing any shows until June. I'd love it to be true, but it probably isn't.

Alot of rumour sites are saying No Doubt (ugh) is headlining one day.

yea, we'll see soon enough.

sorry, i moved the thread since it was off topic and thought we could draw out some insiders in its own place.

no doubt, eh? do they even exist anymore? i thought it was just Gwen, or as I like to call her, G-Blow.

i also hope the arena rumors are false about radiohead and they play smaller venues. even those outdoor venue types with pavillions+lawn, though big, would be more way cooler than an arena imo.

no doubt, eh? do they even exist anymore? i thought it was just Gwen, or as I like to call her, G-Blow.

It's their "reunion" show.

ah, i see.

just like Rage if it happens and sells well they will do more.

Thats a weird precedent set by Rage, The Police and the misinterpreted Pumpkins comeback last year that could suck for future festivals, since they already appeal to a broader spectrum of fans. more comeback bands [shiver].

07/31/2008 Somerset, WI @ Float-Rite Park


:rofl:

No way.

It's their "reunion" show.

maybe if they only play stuff from Tragic Kingdom and earlier, that would be ok...

What the hell, no Denver?

There is no way they are playing fucking Citizen's Bank Park. Just...no. No no no.

These arenas seem a little large for Radiohead, but I dunno.

another band to add to the long list that skips Detroit.

I'm thinking I'll go to Montreal.

maybe if they only play stuff from Tragic Kingdom and earlier, that would be ok...

Naw man, Return of Saturn had some ace tracks on it. Everything after THAT was garbage..

another band to add to the long list that skips Detroit.

I'm thinking I'll go to Montreal.

on 89x this morning they talked to the band about things (i missed the interview) but they recapped that they mentioned not being on the tour lineup and thom yorke said, "i will be seeing you and your friends in the summer." whatever that means.

american airlines arena. that sucks.

yeah there's no way that they are playing the st pete times forum and american airlines arena when there are perfectly usable open air venues right around the corner.

I actually hate pavilions more than sports arenas, but both suck in comparison to more intimate venues. I just don't see Radiohead playing the Verizon Center though. Last time Pearl Jam came around I saw them there and at least half the seats were empty. And I am fairly sure that in the United States Pearl Jam is a lot more popular than Radiohead.

in the United States Pearl Jam is a lot more popular than Radiohead.


maybe in 1992.

There is no way they are playing fucking Citizen's Bank Park. Just...no. No no no.

It'd be interesting, for sure.

Better than an arena, still.

That place in Camden was a nice fit when I saw them there, and there it does not matter that it is the middle of the baseball season. I hope this ends up being wrong. I know they can't play the Electric Factory anymore but I really hope it's not Citizen's Bank.

Radiohead haven't done a major US tour since 2003. Pearl Jam have done 3 or 4...

cool thanks for the news. i haven't listened to 89x for 2+ years now, so I would of never known that.

wait you are from detroit/windsor? a fellow friend perhaps?

Argh. Another Grant Park show...the weekend before Lolla.

Eh.

It's the weekend of Lollapalooza if I am not mistaken.

Yeah, assuming the unconfirmed date is correct, it's during Lollapalooza.

It's the weekend of Lollapalooza if I am not mistaken.

that's the Saturday of Lollapalooza. I wonder who in the world could be the Sunday headliner, if its not Radiohead. Maybe RATM.

maybe in 1992.

I think I had this argument once before on Netphoria. Radiohead are not too well known in the U.S. outside their immediate fan base. Fucking EVERYONE on the street knows who Pearl Jam is. The only thing most people can associate with Radiohead is Creep. Now maybe this doesn't necessarily correlate with the size of each band's fanbase in the states, but I don't see Radiohead filling the Verizon Center any better than Pearl Jam.

Well, they both sold out the Woodlands (17,000+ I think) here in Houston - a well known hotbed of fans of good music :rolleyes: how big is the Verizon Center?

Btw, there was something on atease about how they were being really specific about the venues that they do/don't want to play, and these venues just don't *seem* right to me

What the fuck...Radiohead has the number 1 album in the United States right now. Pearl Jam hasn't sniffed number 1 since 1996. Radiohead is clearly more well known than Pearl Jam. That's an absurd statement.

Anecdotally, the rock station in Boston's "huge" giveaway is tickets to Radiohead in Barcelona. Not Pearl Jam. Radiohead.

whoever relates creep to radiohead probably relates jeremy to pearl jam. and they're stupid.

You really have to realize that you're basing this off of the fact that you deal with college students 90% of the time. You are wrong when talking about general population. Play Alive and Jeremy for 100 people and I bet more people guess the band than if you play Karma Police and Creep
Anecdotally, the rock station in Boston's "huge" giveaway is tickets to Radiohead in Barcelona. Not Pearl Jam. Radiohead.
What the hell does this have to do with anything, Pearl Jam isn't even touring, and contests are set up through corporate deals with promoters...

that's such a good avatar for owning people.

This was pretty much my point. Radiohead do not have much recognition outside the alt rock circle. FUCKING EVERYONE in the world at least knows Pearl Jam as the band with the guy who mumbles the lyrics. I would even go so far as to say the at this moment The Smashing Pumpkins are more well known than Radiohead in the US.

And album sales don't really mean anything anymore.

Pearl Jam - > Pumpkins - > Radiohead, in terms of recognition

Pearl Jam - > Pumpkins - > Radiohead, in terms of recognition

Yeah, that's probably true. People reacted like this when I said Radiohead weren't too widely recognized last time. It's like it hurts their feelings that Thom Yorke isn't a household name.

not really, its because its wrong

its not like a good deal of radiohead fans arent the same indie snobs that pride themselves on name dropping bands you've never heard of.

they liked radiohead long before you did though

of course

radiohead has the largest google footprint of the bands mentioned here.

you decide the relevance of that, however.

Radiohead is more popular NOW than Pearl Jam is NOW. I thought that's what we were talking about? Are we? I realize that Jeremy is more popular than Karma Police. Regardless, Radiohead has the number 1 album in the US, a position Pearl Jam hasn't seen in over a decade. I guarantee that Radiohead would sell more tickets than Pearl Jam. Absolutely guarantee it. It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm in college, either.

I think this entire post is wrong. Every single sentence of it.

I was referring to overall public recognition. Radiohead will never have it the way Pearl Jam is it in the states. Pearl Jam is still the kind of band where non-fans will go out and buy their newest album because they know the name and liked some song they heard on the radio. Radiohead, not so much.

are you some sort of statistician

NOT OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED 05/16/2008 Miami, FL @ American Airlines Center

Oh god please make it happen.:jump:
Though it would be at the amphitheater next to it though I would think.

Hopefully the Tampa show is true. I really do not want to have to drive to Miami or GA.

Radiohead is more popular NOW than Pearl Jam is NOW. I thought that's what we were talking about? Are we?

yes, we are. redbreegull and nimrod are trying to debate something that is entirely irrelevant to the initial discussion.

people would recognize 1979 and Today before any Radiohead song, but that doesn't mean the Pumpkins will sell more concert tickets in 2008. jesus christ.

that's the Saturday of Lollapalooza. I wonder who in the world could be the Sunday headliner, if its not Radiohead. Maybe RATM.

oh fuck that shit. i don't want to go to lollapalooza.

Pearl Jam is still the kind of band where non-fans will go out and buy their newest album because they know the name and liked some song they heard on the radio. Radiohead, not so much.

this is somewhat true

but Radiohead will never be a 'radio' band. besides, Pearl Jam suck.

yes, we are. redbreegull and nimrod are trying to debate something that is entirely irrelevant to the initial discussion.

people would recognize 1979 and Today before any Radiohead song, but that doesn't mean the Pumpkins will sell more concert tickets in 2008. jesus christ.

Well this is largely because the Pumpkins have never really re-formed, and people stopped caring.

Still though more people would buy Pearl Jam concert tickets than Radiohead, which was the entire point.

i don't think this is correct. sure, they have a big following as a live act, but to say that they would definitely outdraw radiohead in a given U.S. city is wrong.

but i don't expect you to speak objectively when pearl jam is being discussed.

I bet more people recognize "There There" or "Go To Sleep" than "World Wide Suicide"

jeremy, go, even flow, alive, spin the black circle, given to fly, black, immortality, daughter, last kiss

jeremy, go, even flow, alive, spin the black circle, given to fly, black, immortality, daughter, last kiss

some of these are not true, but you're missing his point anyway.

go on Eulogy, explain it to me.

go on Eulogy, explain it to me.

he's saying that in the last 6 or whatever years, Radiohead has grabbed a lot more attention and put out a lot more shit that would be recognized by the general public.

yeah im not missing that point. But Pearl Jam have been around longer than 6 years, so i dont see how this is relevant. All of their most recognisable shit is from the early-mid 90's, sure, but how does this make Radiohead the more popular band?

oh Pearl Jam are terrible

del

but that doesnt mean shit.

yeah im not missing that point. But Pearl Jam have been around longer than 6 years, so i dont see how this is relevant. All of their most recognisable shit is from the early-mid 90's, sure, but how does this make Radiohead the more popular band?

because not everyone who leaves the radio on when Jeremy comes on will go see PJ in concert.

the conversation is not about overall historical popularity. it's about current relevance and how that translates into concert ticket sales.

so Led Zeppelin are less popular because they havent released anything for 50 years?

it's about current relevance and how that translates into concert ticket sales.

but that is complete horse shit

but that is complete horse shit

i don't think it is. pearl jam doesn't have the kind of lasting popularity that led zeppelin does. christ almighty.

but that is complete horse shit

explain how current popularity does not translate into ticket sales please

i don't think it is. pearl jam doesn't have the kind of lasting popularity that led zeppelin does. christ almighty.

your brain is made of concrete.

Michael Jackson would put more asses on seats than Radiohead. Current relevance/popularity doesnt mean anything.

your brain is made of concrete.

Michael Jackson would put more asses on seats than Radiohead. Current relevance/popularity doesnt mean anything.

neither Pearl Jam nor Radiohead are on the level of someone like Michael Jackson or Zeppelin or U2 or The Beatles or whomever

....because Michael Jackson is more popular than Radiohead.

And Radiohead is more popular than Pearl Jam.

Can we at least agree that Pearl Jam sucks?

explain how current popularity does not translate into ticket sales please

i didnt say that current popularity DOESNT translate into ticket sales.

my point is, you cant just come out and say that Pearl Jam would sell less tickets because their recent material hasnt been strong. Look at Zeitgeist, for example; it's shit, but people still went to the shows. Michael Jackson fucks children, but people would fucking flock to his shows. Look at the stir Pink Floyd created when they "reformed" for the Live 8 concert.

victory to me

neither Pearl Jam nor Radiohead are on the level of someone like Michael Jackson or Zeppelin or U2 or The Beatles or whomever

goddamn exactly. Current popularity does not automatically mean that band x will sell more tickets. How hard is this to understand?

....because Michael Jackson is more popular than Radiohead.

precisely, even though Jackson hasnt done anything for the past decade except touch young boys.

And Radiohead is more popular than Pearl Jam.

currently? yes. Overall? no

Can we at least agree that Pearl Jam sucks?

absolutely

your brain is made of concrete.

Michael Jackson would put more asses on seats than Radiohead. Current relevance/popularity doesnt mean anything.

uh this entire argument is about popularity.

uh this entire argument is about popularity.


ahhh no it's not

i didnt say that current popularity DOESNT translate into ticket sales.

my point is, you cant just come out and say that Pearl Jam would sell less tickets because their recent material hasnt been strong.

Look at the stir Pink Floyd created when they "reformed" for the Live 8 concert.

victory to me

the mid-sized venue i saw the pumpkins in was maybe 70% full. the larger venue i saw radiohead in the last time they came around was completely full. so, yeah.

and stop comparing PJ to these larger-than-life performers that will always sell out no matter what.

Overall? no

See I disagree with this part...I guess...but at least we agree on the really important things. Like them sucking.

uh this entire argument is about popularity.

dude. jesus.

i will spell this out, in even clearer terms.

Michael Jackson. History Tour. sells millions of fucking tickets. Great success! But hasnt done anything musically relevant for a long time.

Radiohead. sell alot of albums. popular band.

go ahead and convince me that a Radiohead world tour would gross more $$$ than History pt.2. not gonna happen.

and stop comparing PJ to these larger-than-life performers that will always sell out no matter what.

Eulogy, for fucks sake. Pearl Jam have sold 60 Million records. SIXTY MILLION.

Yeah but Michael Jackson's popularity was at a level so great that he will sell tickets as long as he hits the stage. He was on a different level than Pearl Jam ever dreamed of. I submit that the Smashing Pumpkins are a much better comparison for Pearl Jam...and they're not exactly the hottest ticket in town.

I am fairly sure that in the United States Pearl Jam is a lot more popular than Radiohead.

this is what was the stupid statement i saw. michael jackson is more popular around the world than radiohead, im not arguing that.

See I disagree with this part...I guess...but at least we agree on the really important things. Like them sucking.

how can you disagree?

Pearl Jam = 60 million album sales

Radiohead = 25 million album sales


not even half. this is fact. Pearl Jam are more popular than Radiohead

Michael Jackson's sold over 100 million albums...in one album. That's a completely ludicrous comparison.

goddamn this shit.

i am not comparing Michael Jackson to Pearl Jam. I am telling you that current popularity does not necessarily equate to higher ticket sales.

im done with this.

how can you disagree?

Pearl Jam = 60 million album sales

Radiohead = 25 million album sales


not even half. this is fact. Pearl Jam are more popular than Radiohead
Well, how about the fact that they were popular in very different music eras? Pearl Jam hasn't cracked a million in like a decade. You can't compare album sales from one era to the next, that just doesn't work.

goddamn this shit.

i am not comparing Michael Jackson to Pearl Jam. I am telling you that current popularity does not necessarily equate to higher ticket sales.

im done with this.
I hate Pearl Jam so I don't know why I'm even bothering with this either, but the point was that Michael Jackson and Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are completely different animals than Pearl Jam. Their popularity wasn't confined to a few years in the sun, but rather had years and years and years of success, building massive and dedicated fan bases. Completely different. Pearl Jam is much more analogous to SP or Alice in Chains or Nirvana or whatever other alt-rock band of the 90's.

BAH I lost interest typing that last sentence and I'm done.

yes, being popular in different eras. Thank you! you've just proven my point. CURRENT popularity vs HISTORICAL popularity.

if Michael Jackson announced a World Tour tomorrow, those shows would sell out in an instant.

Not Michael Jackson again! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....ah whatever fuck it.

selling 60 Million albums means that Pearl Jam are a pretty huge band. the Pumpkins sold around 19 million in the US alone, so lets say 25-30 million worldwide, ok? Thats HALF of Pearl Jams number.

Not Michael Jackson again! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....ah whatever fuck it.

you are really frustrating me with your inability to see my point.

Yes, you're saying that Michael Jackson is not popular NOW. I agree, to an extent. Despite him not being popular NOW, he was popular THEN, so he still fills seats. However, I'm saying that Michael Jackson's level of popularity was so great that it blurs any NOW-THEN distinction. Pearl Jam has never reached a level where their popularity would span generations. They had their time, and now they play regular arena shows and enjoy middling album sales. Like the Smashing Pumpkins.

but but but what about the jamily

However, I'm saying that Michael Jackson's level of popularity was so great that it blurs any NOW-THEN distinction

i see what you are saying, but it "blurs" nothing.

my point stands, you can disagree all you like.

but Pearl Jam fucking suck

Pearl Jam has never reached a level where their popularity would span generations.

this is because they suck. Despite selling 60 million records.

Good, I agree, I'm never clicking on this thread again!

see u at the next MJ show

christ i fucking hate pearl jam fans

christ i fucking hate pearl jam fans

Too bad there are more of 'em in the U.S. than Radiohead fans, eh?

this thread sucks.

they need to just announce the actual dates/venues.

Too bad there are more of 'em in the U.S. than Radiohead fans, eh?

One thing Radiohead has goin' for it that other bands mentioned in this thread, like SP & PJ don't, is the fact that their current material is being raved about by everyone, from music critics, RH's fans, and casual fans (the buzz of the internet release helped also). Aside from the talk of how much they all love the name-your-own-price deal that the band did, everyone that's heard this album is in agreement that it's great stuff. When a band's current album is touted so highly, it will only help them to sellout wherever they play. So unlike SP & PJ, whose recent albums were viewed as "Meh, okay" by most people or even slammed by longtime fans, :cough: Netphoria :cough:, those who are thinkin' about seeing RH will be just as eager to hear stuff from In Rainbows as the classic or rare songs, thus making 'em more willing to go to the show.

http://www.stud.tu-ilmenau.de/~haku-in/pics/retarded.jpg

oh is that a new image you constructed for me?

everyone that's heard this album is in agreement that it's great stuff.

I'm not, I'm just not very vocal about it because it's so 'meh' for me.

I was asked if I wanted to go and see radiohead this year and I've skipped it because I'm not huge on the album and the last time I saw them I felt it was kinda laclustre.

Pearl Jam's latest record was pretty much acclaimed all over as the best thing they've done in a decade, I don't know where you get your info, but I remember pretty much everyone loving it. Except of course for the haters in this thread.

Edit: Not that it is as good as In Rainbows, but it certainly wasn't received as coolly as you imply.

don't magazines say that over and over again about every PJ album that comes out?

don't magazines say that over and over again about every PJ album that comes out?

I don't know, I just know the latest one got a fair amount of praise dumped onto it, and I also know it is quite popular amongst the fans too. Whereas something like Zeitgeist is pretty much agreed to be a mediocre effort.

don't magazines say that over and over again about every PJ album that comes out?

yeah they do

So is there any update on this yet, dates/venues?

So is there any update on this yet, dates/venues?

we're not worthy of finding out venues/dates and buying the tickets 6+ months in advance like europe is.

i keep checking pitchfork for updates. and i keep getting disappointed.

can't wait for boston!!

i heard a seperate rumor about radiohead being the saturday headliner for Lolla this year, so the rumored dates redbull posted seem to hold up (e.g. Chicago 08/02 Grant Park).

Then again, my rumor may have originated from the same tour rumor.

Bottom-line, I don't like what I'm hearing. As cool as this would make Lolla, I don't want 1 festival-lengthed set....where some cities are getting 2 full shows.

Was anyone at the show last night wearing a zero shirt?

I was there last night. One guy was wearing a zero shirt he looked pretty gay. Where I was, the crowd didn't know much since most of the music was from Kid A HTTT and In Rainbows.
Anyways I'll try to recall the setlist as much as I can. It was everything from In Rainbows except Jigsaw and they did play Bangers and Mash.
Just, How to Disappear completely, Everything in its right place, Where I end you begin, There There, Bulletproof...I wish I was, Exit Music, Airbag, Optimistic,
Street Spirit as the final song, which was expected since the whole set list was quite depressing, yet very very good.

I know I'm forgetting a few songs though.

i was there too, it was pretty sweet. looks like chaos effect has most of the details covered

I was with exactlythesame at the front of the lawn in the middle

he tried to start an encore chant during the first encore... didn't work.

Yea I bought one but wore it underneath my NWA shirt for the entire concert. It says the same thing in the back but backwards, and there were a few that quoted songs off of In Rainbows. Ex. You used to be alright. What happened?

that's pretty neat, too bad radiohead never make shirts big enough to fit my bloated american torso.

the shirts feel really nice too.

And they're all made from recycled material. Yay, planet!

...which reminds me.. did anyone do the 100 cups and get a free shirt thing?

24 Street Spirit (Fade Out)i think that's about the same as the setlist they played in west palm

Yea I bought one but wore it underneath my NWA shirt for the entire concert. It says the same thing in the back but backwards, and there were a few that quoted songs off of In Rainbows. Ex. You used to be alright. What happened?

Thank you! Are the letters embroidered or just sort of...raised? I can't tell from your picture.

i think that's about the same as the setlist they played in west palm

that is the west palm setlist. Setlist tonight included The Bends, You and Whose Army, Pyramid Song, and The Tourist.

awesome setlists. thank god i am seeing a normal show before they compress it for lolla.

The National Anthem -> Idioteque - >you and whose army was fucking amazing.

The light show is so insane it was hard to watch at certain points.

Wow. Add Motion Picture Soundtrack, and that setlist will be nearly perfect.

MY GOD PLEASE PLAY FAKE PLASTIC TREES ON SUNDAY OR I WILL DIE

Oh an if you have shitty seats for any shows bring binoculars with you because so far the video screens have been turned off at both venues on this tour.

Thank you! Are the letters embroidered or just sort of...raised? I can't tell from your picture.

No they are not embroidered they seem painted on.

Tampa setlist:

No they are not embroidered they seem painted on.

How much

oh man that setlist totally just got me hard

why am i only seeing them at lolla

fuck

How much

I think someone said they cost 40$.

Yea it was $40 thats a bit pricey but I said screw it.

Oh an if you have shitty seats for any shows bring binoculars with you because so far the video screens have been turned off at both venues on this tour.

there's a giant friggin' screen behind the stage that i suppose they're using the entire tour -- i could see it just fine on the lawn at WPB

why the fuck are they closing with house of cards

there's a giant friggin' screen behind the stage that i suppose they're using the entire tour -- i could see it just fine on the lawn at WPB

It wasn't crystal clear though. Sometimes it was hard to tell what was what, but then again I kept spacing out thanks to all the good weed I had.:smoke:

the big screen at the back of the stage didn't help much out on the lawn. i couldn't really see anything

Shows seem pretty sweet minus the House of Cards closer.

Quick question...those going to Noblesville on Aug. 3, anybody got two extra tickets that are better than lawn? I'm dying for some better seats.

You mean the one that shows empty mic stands for 3/4s of the show and is buried behind 100 flashing light poles. Yeah that's great for people on the lawn.

Edit to add, Oh you meant the one that was blank for first 3 songs then showed light effects for another 5 songs, then showed empty mic stands, I take it back that one is perfect for people on the lawn.

Yep can really see the band on that screen right there. I take back everything I said.

Thanks for the info Rider...but I'm still willing to purchase some pavillion seats for Noblesville so if any of you guys got extras, let me know.

I just got back from the Charlotte show. It was awesome, but I was also on the lawn and had a hard time seeing the screens they had up. Light show is amazing and intense at times. This was my first time seeing them, and I think I'll only ever go again if I can get an actual seat away from the clusterfuck lawn section.

Yah I was at the Charlotte show too! On the lawn dead center of the stage. It was an amazing show. The band has screens behind them and behind the lights but the side screens are off. Setlist last night:

How long do you figure the show was, like when did your doors open and when did you actually leave

I'm trying to figure out exactly how little sleep I'm going to get after my show

Is anyone else going to see them in Virginia tomorrow? How early are you showing up? I know Nissan Pavilion is pretty much the worst venue on the entire fucking planet and I have heard that if you show up too early the gestapo Virginia police make you turn off your car and sit in line waiting for the gates to open.

I don't know when doors opened, but I arrived about 6:30 pm for the lawn, opening band right at 7:30, Radiohead around 8:30 or 9, show ended around 11 and I didn't really leave until 12 because of traffic.

last time i went, we got there early and the parking gates were open, so we went in and parked and picked up our will call tickets. then we were standing around and the venue security came driving around (keep in mind there were a lot of people hanging out) that if we didn't leave, they were goign to call the cops... why have the gates open if people aren't allowed in? that's just retarded.

I was planning on getting there about 30 minutes after gates open, so 4:30. If you're coming from DC, this place is a nightmare. It is the worst venue on the planet, made worse by being on a one-lane road in the middle of the country. If you're taking 66 in from DC, plan for a multi-hour commute both ways. Going south towards Richmond isn't as bad, but it's still pretty terrible and could be 2+ hours just to get out of the lot and a mile down the road.

Speaking of which. Am I really going to have to go alone on this one? I don't even know how soon is "too soon" for leaving.

I've also heard about how hellish it is to get out of the lot once the show's over. I sure could use some company here. :(

Doors open at 6, not 5. Or so says Nissan's website.

Didn't bother me at all I was in the 12th row.

Man, there is really no other feeling like putting on some warm dry clothes after enduring freezing rain for hours. Sadly, I left right after they closed their original set with Bodysnatchers. Hopefully next time, I can see them in a better venue with better seats. I saw them, I don't think i have really "experienced" them.

By the way, they played Lucky, Paranoid Android, Just, and Karma Police.

Well first of all it rained so hard the road into the venue flooded out and it took me an hour and a half to get out of the parking lot and then almost 2 to get home because the police detoured us into the middle of fucking nowhere and then just dumped the line of cars to find their own way back to the highway. It was absolutely miserable out. I felt terrible for the people with lawn seats. Anyway, the show was fucking fantastic and made it completely worth it. I kept telling my friends I wanted them to play Fake Plastic Trees and I received many assurances that they would NOT. But then, at the end, they did, and I was so happy.:)

Also best light show ever.

I think they played In Rainbows in entirety... I am too tired to remember what else right now.

19) Talk Show Host

awesome

Yeah 15 Step was in there somewhere

Fucking hell that was the best and worst concert experience I have ever had; thank Christ I was in the covered section and had incredibly good seats

And I knew they'd been ending on House of Cards so I got everyone I was with to just fucking run when they were about two minutes into it; we got out of that hellhole parking lot in about forty-five minutes and I considered us blessed

I've seen them three times prior and that was the happiest I've ever seen them; I loved Thom's speech about finding someone to fuck

Something like "To all you wet people out there... everyone on the lawn... here's what you need to do... find someone near you and get close... find out where they live and go there... take your clothes off and turn up the heat... and if anyone's left out, come on backstage and we'll get you sorted out."

Never going to Nissan again. Not for a Radiohead/MBV/Pumpkins/Zombie Lennon quad-bill. Clothes were destroyed, froze to death.

Oh, also, to the apparently significant number of people who got flooded out and were stuck in traffic for like six hours without ever making it to the show: holy shit, I am so sorry.

Never going to Nissan again. Not for a Radiohead/MBV/Pumpkins/Zombie Lennon quad-bill. Clothes were destroyed, froze to death.

welcome to the club. too bad you didn't join us sooner. it's worth the extra money to travel elsewhere to not have to go to shows there. actually going to any shows in the northern VA area kind of sucks. dc itself isn't as bad... and if you're coming from the south, going to baltimore (or to merriweather) can be really bad as well because of traffic).

I've never had a TERRIBLE nissan experience before now. Worst I ever had was 45 minutes to get out of the lot which isn't end-of-the-world stuff. But that show, despite being awesome, was really unenjoyable with all the conditions. It took SOOOOOOOO long to get home.

Merriweather is alot better, imo.

I felt like I needed that lengthy period in the car with the heater on full blast so that I can feel my damn toes again!

On a side note, felt really lucky tonight as these two young couples asked me if I know how to get to DC. I really needed the company and the help getting back to Maryland, so I got them in. We had a nice conversation about Maryland, college, and mostly music. I got them into Arcade Fire and Animal Collective when I played them in my car. Afterwards, I finally returned to a familiar area with help from them and dropped them off at a hotel in downtown Silver Spring (I cant wait until the Fillmore opens there). We became good friends and shared numbers, and they payed me $40 for the ride. Kickass!

That really made my night after what the venue made me endure.

i thought about merriweather as well. when i went to radiohead there, it took me 5.5 hours to get there, which was an average of 25mph (and on top of that i was sick).. but i had a really, really good experience there for the pixies, so now i'd go back again. i was really hoping RH would play red rocks or the gorge... not gonna deal with the rest of what they're doing. i'll just catch them next tour. it's not like i haven't seen them 10+ times already.

i got roped into seeing them in st. louis cause someone gave me a free ticket but i am not excited at all to watch in rainbows songs on the lawn of a huge venue.

I love google earth.

A carload of 5 of my friends never made it in. They closed the parking lot and sent everyone on a detour to nowhere. I hope people get refunds. Did the place actually look full? Sounds like THOUSANDS were just turned away, after purchasing tickets...

By the way if anyone wants to up the DC show somewhere where I don't have to wait for them to delete old accounts that would be really nice and greatly appreciated.

If any of you want to see the amazing performance of Fake Plastic Trees that the band gave us in consolation for the torrential rain, I found this on youtube. It actually makes me want to weep.

The person who recorded it must have been standing about 10-15 feet to my right because I was about that distance from the stage and I heard that weirdo scream, "Oh no!" pretty loud off to my right.

after sitting through all of In Rainbows i was pretty annoyed to then have to listen to Fake Plastic Trees instead of one of their many good songs that i could have been rewarded with

What the fuck is wrong with you. Fake Plastic Trees is one of their most emotional songs. I can honestly think of no better reward. Of course you might be one of those people who thinks everything before Kid A sucks....

The Greenwood freakout in this version is especially spectacular... I wish the person who recorded it had gotten him in the shot.

everything before Kid A sucks....

nah, just fake plastic trees mainly.

i was at nissan pavillion, i had lawn seats.
we got there at about 4:30 and waited under a tarp until radiohead
my shoes were soaked, i was freezing cold, but i was really happy with the setlist

nah, just fake plastic trees mainly.

Fake Plastic Trees > everything off Ok Computer

Yeah, I totally said Ok Computer was emotionless. Good job.

Yeah, I totally said Ok Computer was emotionless. Good job.

you directly implied it by saying that Fake Plastic Trees, an emotional song, is better than something else. Take your fucking retarded musical axioms somewhere else. The Beatles fucking sucked too.

the houston show tonight was amazing

the houston show tonight was amazing

Setlist? Highlights?

if you didnt spaz out a little when you listen to paranoid android then you're probably a bit emotionless.

i might even prefer the bends over okc but to say fake plastic trees is better than anything off okc is a bit of a stretch. its a solid song but its not on some sort of mythical pedestal. really there arent any radiohead songs that i can just say "oh man this is simply clearly better than their other album"

hell even pablo honey had you which is fucking awesome

That's the first time I have ever seen anyone say anything positive about Pablo Honey on this board.

houston: nat and I went for $30 each. not bad, considering I had given my Dallas ticket to my ex.

Good show. New songs boring, old songs awesome. Pyramid Song, Planet Telex, Climbing up the Walls... Pretty much awesome.

When you're halfway up the lawn it's basically pointless though! It makes a hell of a difference. In '03 when we were like 10 rows back we were jumping all over the place!

if they'd play subterranean homesick alien my life would be complete.

I would have to get out the CD to find the exact track time, but I think I would die when that high spacey lead comes in for like 2 seconds.

I've never had a TERRIBLE nissan experience before now. Worst I ever had was 45 minutes to get out of the lot which isn't end-of-the-world stuff. But that show, despite being awesome, was really unenjoyable with all the conditions. It took SOOOOOOOO long to get home.

Merriweather is alot better, imo.

I had to wait right around 1 hour before we moved out of our parking spot (Tampa, Florida Amp.) after the show. Great concert otherwise. I will never go back to that venue.

the sad thing is i know the exact moment you're talking about. God thats such a good fucking song.

I love the wah/phase thing going on with the lead part too.
