Radiohead

Amazing. 

I cant wait for Boston.

Went to night 1. Thought the crowd was pretty subdued until the encores. But great set. Band is still in top form.

Great shows... Wanted to hear subterranean but maybe I'll get it in Columbus or Cincinnati. First time seeing them... Pretty awesome

Great shows in Chicago.  Only gripe is hoping that the sets would've gone on until closer to 11 PM.

Yeah and that opening act was tedious.  I appreciate their musicianship but every damn song was the same

Tim Simmons

I enjoyed the opener very much.

The opener is Jonny Greenwood's side project.  Music was good, but it was very repetitive.  I'm glad to have seen Radiohead live at least once in my life.

What time did they start / end?

Tim Simmons

Openers went on at 7:30. Radiohead 8:30. They played until about 10:45.

So does silence mean there are not good Radiohead fan message boards or discussion boards?  I'm trying to figure out the best place to post my single Philly tix so they go to a good home.

There are no fan forums that I know of on their website.  They don't seem to be into merch or posters at all.  The Chicago posters were kind of ridiculous.  I actually think someone in Radiohead just draws them.

I think the art is Stanley Donwood, who has done all of their art since 1995.

There’s a message board called AtEase that I’ve been on forever. The problem there is that there are a lot of elitist assholes there who don’t take any discussion or inquiries seriously. GreenPlastic use to be more like this place of Red Mosquitoe- but it’s kind of more informal. Don’t get me wrong though, plenty of elitists there too. Hope that helps.

AtEase has been closed for months.

True. Thom and their art director Stanly Donwood design them. The 2018 poster si weird because its art from Kid A. But its been a few years since they've had screen printed posters and the last time they did, they were kinda shitty. Pretty sure the designs were the same and the only thing that changed was the city and color scheme.

Really?!? I didn’t know that. I think the last time I was on there consistently was when Moon Shaped Pool was first released.

They have show posters this time round - don’t know if they are screenprinted or not - Donwood art I’m pretty sure. One of the designs is like the grim reaper, and the other is the Com Lag artwork.

Thanks for the info!  

And thanks Tim for the heads up about AtEase.

So GreenPlastic is still up?  Going to check it out now...

And hey, BOSTON people, I just realized that ever since tix went onsale, I've mistakenly thought I bought 2 tix for one of the Philly show (even though I was supposed to go on my own), but just realized I have an EXTRA TICKET for SAT NITE BOSTON!!

I have to go back and look at a seating chart to see which I'm selling, but anyone here looking for a Boston ticket or know someone who's looking?  For sale for face value, of course.

And do I remember correctly that these tix cannot be transferred?  Or does it depend on which ticket agency handled the sale?   For Boston it doesn't matter because I'll be there and can hand off the ticket.  But for Philly if I can't go, I can't go at all, so wondering about transferring that one...

Pretty sure they do quite well. They just have a different approach than PJ.

yes I'm sure they do just fine....it's just interesting that there was never much of a line for merch before/during/after the shows 

such a huge difference from PJ

Radiohead also puts up all the tour merch for sale on their site a day or 2 before the tour starts. I ordered the merch I wanted (it ont ship until after tour) and I don't have to worry about carrying it around or waiting in line.

Saw both Chicago shows and all I can say is that no matter how much I love PJ there is just no comparison at this point! It's not a put down and please don't respond about how it's different music, their just better at everything and that's why their the best band in the world not only in the studio but, also live!!

So you're saying RH is the best band on the planet?

Great show at MSG last night. Only odd thing was that they finished at 10:50. I thought that was early for Friday night in NYC.
