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.
