Who else will be at Radiohead-Philly tonite?

PatricSaint III

I'm really excited...it's the first night of their US tour and they've been there (the Tower Theater) the last 2 nights rehearsing. Should sound sweet...

I'm just gonna sit back in my seat and relax tonite....for a change.

Any of you going too?

I'm going in Montreal on the 11th! Let me know how the setlist was.

I'll be there. W.A.S.T.E. took very good care of us for this show and we have great seats. I would have taken seats absolutely anywhere in the house for this, so I'm especially excited that we're going to be close.

I was shocked when I saw the seat location....Row AA.

How was the concert guys?? im going tonight (friday) and pumped as hell. Just wondering what time they went on, if there was an opening act, how long they played, etc. Any input would be awesome. How did the new stuff sound?

Radiohead was simply amazing and sound was crisp....they rehearsed there at the Tower on Tues/Wed so I'm not surprised.
Visually it's stunning too.

They came on at 9pm sharp, opening act was an electric/acoustic folk duo (guitar/violin). Not bad but not really remarkable...

Played until 10:55pm...lots of new (officially unreleased) material that most of the crowd already knew.

Very laid back atmosphere, security was pretty cool too, although except for the first few rows of the balcony, just about everyone stood for the entire show. I don't know why I originally thought otherwise.
You're gonna love it...

i downloaded the flac files for teh first few shows (including the big ask performance w/ thom and jonny) and hte new stuff sounds real nice! i especially like bodysnatchers, bangers n mash, house of cards...pretty much all of em

the older stuff was a bit more rough, thom joked on the first show of the tour that he doesn't remember the older stuff and his timing was a bit off singing some of the older stuff but after a few perfromances i'm sure everything will be back to normal!
