So I'm now in Georgia. I should get there at about 7:45. I'm cutting it close! I apparently can't download ustream without a wireless connection because it's over 200 mb. I'm gonna get it at our next piss break. Idk how to use it and I'm already kind of drunk. Fair warning: if you listen to my ustream you might hear me and my friends singing terrible. We're also basically in the back of the arena. But it'll hopefully be better than nothing. I'll update you when I know what's up.
First band shirt I ever purchased: Bush from the Bush/Goo Goo Dolls/No Doubt '95 tour (lost it to my college gf in a break-up i think) Oldest band shirt I currently have (in a trunk at my parents house I think): Dave Matthews '98 winter tour.
Others?
Interesting. Band shirt I'm most proud of: LCD Soundsystem 2010 tour shirt. Most of my shirts don't have dates on them, which sucks. I probably have 30-40 band shirts right now. First band shirt I ever purchased: Bon Jovi shirt from when I went to see them with my mom years ago HAHAHA but I left it at a friend's house years ago and think it's for my own good that I don't get it back.
2012 shows: 3/23 - The Men 4/9 - Of Monsters & Men 4/21 - Bassnectar 5/2 - Shpongle 5/22 - Jack White 6/1 - tUnE-yArDs 6/7-6/10 - Bonnaroo 2012 6/18 - Destroyer 6/20 - The Tallest Man On Earth 6/23-6/24 - Governor's Ball
I dont think you can turn off the video, I think people just had tape over their lenses.
K thanks. If it sucks I'm sorry. I'm almost at the top of the arena. But it's the best I can do. I just parked. Word is they're coming on at 8:45, via twitter. Talk to y'all after the show! Cheers!
Wearing another band's shirt is totally cool. Wearing the shirt of the band you are seeing is the worst thing you can do. Buying their shirt at the venue and slinging it around your shoulder on the way out is cool. Buying the shirt pre-show and then wearing for the duration of the show is probably worse than bringing the band's shirt from home.
What exactly are you supposed to do with the shirt during the show if you don't put it on? Stick it up your ass?
Well hopefully you are already wearing a shirt at the venue so maybe you do have to stick it up your ass, b/c double t-shirting is def uncool
I don't see anything wrong with wearing a t-shirt of the band you're seeing...just please don't wear a t-shirt of a different band that isn't even playing. You might as well just be wearing a t-shirt that says "MUSIC!"
Kinda like the guy I saw in a Lakers jersey at a Nashville Predators hockey game a few weeks ago...SPORTS!

The point of that post was actually to discreetly validate my previous choice to stick a t-shirt up my ass. At least I wasn't double t-shirting, though.
thom said they have 70+ songs rehearsed for this tour, so i'm more than pumped about the setlist we could be seeing at roo this summer. the new songs sounded awesome as well.

also, i dunno whether i'd prefer Everything In It's Right Place or National Anthem...
For me it goes:
Miami > Tampa > Atlanta
I thought Tampa got the short end of the stick with no National Anthem, Kid A, Airbag, Codex or Cut a Hole. Now, I realizing that they're pretty close in quality, since we got Street Spirit, Myxomatosis, EIIRP, Little by Little, and All I Need (which wasn't played at ATL either).
Atlanta, though, kinda got the shorter end of the stick imo. They didn't get Cut a Hole OR Meeting in the Aisle OR Karma Police. In the end, it does 100% come down to preference though. If Airbag was one of my favorite songs by them, I'd be pissed, but I'm actually not too fond of that one compared to their other material.
Also, as long as they play The National Anthem at Roo (which they HAVE to) I'll be happy. That was the one song I was waiting for, so that'll just make it that much more epic.
Also, since I'm bored tonight, this would be my ideal set out of the songs they've played between the last three shows:
1. Bloom 2. Little by Little 3. Airbag 4. The Daily Mail 5. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi 6. The National Anthem 7. Morning Mr. Magpie 8. Meeting in the Aisle 9. Kid A 10. Staircase 11. There There 12. Identikit 13. Lotus Flower 14. Nude 15. Feral 16. Idiotique 17. Bodysnatchers
Encore: 18. Codex 19. Myxamatosis 20. Cut a Hole 21. Everything in Its Right Place
22. Reckoner 23. Karma Police 24. Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Edit: Actually I'd swap out The Daily Mail and Staircase for All I Need and Give Up the Ghost, but I figured TDM and Staircase will get played every show.
I'm hoping their day off today inspires some set list tinkering... I love their current sets but with 70 songs to choose from their past 3 setlist have been very similar... although I'm almost certain that won't be the case after a few weeks.
Last night's setlist was in a way kinda similar to the charlotte setlist in 2008 (last time I saw radiohead)
1: Airbag was the third song. 2: last song before the 1st encore was Bodysnatchers. 3: Reckoner in the 2nd encore.
I'm sure if I had gone the show would have still felt very different, just with the different stage show, and all the KoL songs.
and i agree with NTMTCHLBD, I really hope they start to pull out more from Hail to the Thief than There There, Gloaming, and Myxomatosis. So many great songs on that album.

Surprises me that most people are putting the ATL setlist last. Before the tour started everyone was all "OMG IT'S GONNA BE TOO MUCH NEW STUFF", and then the set-list with the least new stuff gets put last. Karma Police affect?

I would be happy with a Radiohead setlist, even if they played all new songs (or unreleased "Big Boots" "Lift" etc.). Actually I would probably spooge myself if they did.
edited to add: There is no language filter for "spooge".

Yeah, I'm one of those weirdos who would be happy with a set full of b-sides and rarities. Probably not the best set for them to pull at a festival with all the casuals, but I would be happy.
