Houston just got me doubly excited about Wednesday in Austin. These are My Twisted Words! 15 Step! and they actually played Paranoid Android!! I was scared there would be no chance of a Paranoid Android on this tour and they CLOSED THE SET WITH IT... I just don't know. Houston is winning big time

WTH......
I have a confession to make. I didn't know anything about this "These Are My Twisted Words" song. After some quick research, I was informed that it was released in 2009. I guess I wasn't paying attention during that time. I didn't know what it was when I saw that setlist and thought it must have been a cover or something. Go ahead and deduct my Radiohead fandom points.
Well I finally got what I wanted, Radiohead will play in Chicago...AND it will be on my birthday. The problem?? It's June 10th.
Why is that a problem? I'd skip the Sunday of Bonnaroo for that - leave in the a.m. and catch a flight home. Sunday is generally the worst day of Bonnaroo anyhow - you'll get 4 awesome bands that all play at the same time right around 5:30/6:00 p.m., and the inevitable jamband closer. Doing Thursday - Saturday Bonnaroo and then Radiohead Sunday night would be killer.
I would just stay and enjoy Sunday. There's no way their set in Chicago will even come close to Roo. I worked at First Midwest Bank Ampitheater for five years and it's a pretty crappy venue.
I actually know people who work on the project, it's easy to circumvent the areas under construction for concerts. I guess they just don't want to deal with the headache, but logistically it could be done.
But bigger issue, that 6/1 show is on the same weekend as Mountain Jam, which I can't miss.
I'm not going to see a Radiohead concert on a Wednesday in Camden, NJ, either (which is basically like the set of the Wire, but worse).
Looks like I'm missing Friday night at MJ. If I miss T-Shorty I'll be sad, though, the other acts I either know I can see that same weekend, or will be at Roo.
Also Flanzo, I am probably hitting Prudential as well, what night you thinking of going?
Well, they only list Friday on their website. Are they doing Saturday too? Wait...are they doing a Thursday show?
HOLY SH!T, I picked a bad day to quit coffee. I can go to the Thursday show, just take off of work Friday (which I was going to do anyway) and then drive up for Mountain Jam the next day.
Well, I think that answers your question, hopefully Thursday.
Why not just go to the 5/31 prudential show? Also, I don't know if you've ever been to Camden, but the area you'd have to walk through to get to the SB Center is NOT that bad. It's downtown Camden that you should be really afraid of. People over-exaggerate Camden all the time, it's a shitty area but you'll be getting to the show in broad daylight and exiting the show with a huge group of people who are all walking to the same parking lot you are. You're not gonna get mugged.
No Newark, never going back there and Camden is too damn far. Radiohead at Bonnaroo will enough for me.
As an FYI, the Prudential Center is a gorgeous arena in a not-scary part of Newark. I hate the Devils, so just admitting they have a nice arena is hard for me to do, but it's set up really well and I can't wait to see a concert there.

It's been a long weekend, but I'm back on here finally. I hope you guys enjoyed the stream, or enjoyed it until my phone died : / I even entered the arena with 100% battery. Oh well. Could you hear my 2 conversations with the douche bags behind me? They sucked. I won't get into it, but wow.
Anyway, definitely jealous of the Houston setlist, but Atlanta was still great! I'm seriously considering Cincinnati if I can get floor tickets. One of my good friends (who was at the Atl show w me and goes to Roo w me every year) has a place for us to stay for free bc his dad lives in Cincinnati and will vacate the house for us for a night. We could do Radiohead Tues -> Knoxville to pack and go straight from there to Roo Wed night. I think I might be in favor of this...
Yeah I'm kind of thinking about this one considering I won't be able to make Tinley Park. Cincinnati's pretty much halfway between me and Bonnaroo anyway. I just have to somehow convince my friends to go.
