212 friday 225 saturday less than 15 rows up
still some decent pairs coming up in mobile TM unheard of for a popular MSG show

I got 226 row 5 Friday.... I almost threw em back. Glad I didn’t 

I got a single for the Chicago Saturday show.  New announcement for a Radiohead show in Chicago for July 6 (Friday).

I have 4 RH Chicago GA that I'm willing to trade for 2 Wrigley N1 aisle seats or 2 DMB Noblesville N1 (plus difference). Message me if you have anything to offer.
Tickets are already spoken for if no trade found.

Extreme long shot here I know, but I have a pair of uppers for the Wednesday July 11th show at MSG (section 221). Looking to trade them for a pair of comparable seats to the Saturday MSG show (July 14).

That said... I'm looking for a good seat or two for MSG FRIDAY- Anyone have I will gladly take off your hands please!! 
I got in on the onsale for some bleeders for the tues and wednesday show, just glad to be in but I'd like at least one night to not be in the high heavens. Cant go Saturday.  So much time but in case anyone has what I'm looking for I'm your gal 

Reelingiswhattheysay, I have a maddening story about the Bends live, can I write you a DM?  It'll probably make you want to tear your hair out almost as much as I still want to, like 20 yrs later!

Doesn’t get much more balanced than that

They mix it up well 

The way I describe a Radiohead concert to my friends is you can either be at the best or the worst show of your life, one day apart haha
 This is why I need to get my fix this summer- go to as many as possible.  

Reeling, I just sent you this as a message - still read it because one part I expanded on for you.  But as I finished I thought: this is a good Cautionary Tale for other fans so let me share with all the PJ Radiohead fans here!

Sorry this is so long, I don't have the "brevity gene" in my body...

This is the story of one of my top 3 musical regrets ever in my Life, and I was inspired to share because of Reelingiswhattheysay's love of The Bends.

So waaaaaay back when in early early '95, I caught up with a friend of mine whose musical taste I've always trusted.  He told me how he was really into a guy named David Grey and how I needed to watch out for him.

Wait, first I should explain, about 2 years before this, so '93, I went to see the band Belly play. A band I didn't really know much about named Radiohead opened, touring on Pablo Honey.  I realized they sang that song I didn't really like, "Creep", so I somehow remember having a "Whatever" reaction to Radiohead.

So 2 yrs later, my friend tells me "Go see David Grey whenever he plays your city!"  Looking in the paper in Boston, David Grey is playing the Paradise, a venue that only holds 900 people.  But who is he opening for?  Oh damn, it's that Radiohead band!  I don't really like them...  And I don't know anything about this album The Bends that they're touring on.

But I get a ticket, I go and definitely catch all of David Grey's set. I speak to him briefly after, tell him which friend told me I had to see him (because they know each other), and enjoy his set a lot.  But now, what to do about Radiohead?  I'm here, so I should at least give them a chance...  And I do.  I stay for about FIVE SONGS, Radiohead, on the Bends tour, in a venue that holds 900 people.  AND THEN I DID THE UNTHINKABLE AND I FUCKING LEFT!!!  I LEFT!  I didn't really get their music yet, and I was going to meet friends, and I left.

Wanna know what the 1st 5 songs were according to Setlist.com?  

1. The Bends
2. Just
3. Anyone Can Play Guitar
4. Bones
5. High and Dry

Yes, I freaking walked out of this show, and this is the rest of the setlist that I missed... did I mention the club only holds 900 people?

1. Street Spirit (Fade Out)
2. Prove Yourself
3. Vegetable
4. Fake Plastic Trees
5. Planet Telex
6. Ripcord
7. Creep
8. My Iron Lung
9. Encore:
10. You
11. Bullet Proof..I Wish I Was
12. Stop Whispering

Fast forward to 2018, I'm now a rabid Radiohead fan, I've seen every tour except 1, and my top 2 favorite Radiohead albums remain The Bends and Ok Computer.  And Radiohead remains in my top 5 ever of bands to see live (PJ isn't in the top 5!).  And one of my absolute top favorite Radiohead songs (and really song by any band ever):  JUST!!!  I was there, I heard it, but I didn't "hear" it.  My heart breaks again and again.

So every time I think of this, I want to (figuratively) jump off a tall building.  In my top 3 musical regrets of Life.  Just thought I'd share so maybe I could save some young person from making a similar traumatic mistake.  Moral of this story: Next time you see Radiohead in a club with 900 person capacity (or any capacity!), don't leave.  Ever.  Don't even leave when the show is over.  Just stay and wait for them to tour again.  Trust me, it's worth it!  

Oh yeah, and then when REM toured on the Monster tour, Radiohead played their last support show THE DAY BEFORE THE BOSTON SHOW.  We got Grant Lee Buffalo I think?  But missed Radiohead opening for REM by one show.  I couldn't have controlled that, but it still hurts to know it!!
