I agree that the sound in the Smoothie King Center is not fantastic, but it got better throughout the show. And the setlist to me wasn't that great, either, but the second half of the concert was amazing. Definitely not at the level of Bonnaroo '06, but nothing ever has been so I am not complaining. Great, great show
High praise in both papers today from last night's show. But music mag Offbeat got it best along with some great photos. Anyone in line for this tour is in for a treat.
Holy shit what a show. I think that was my favorite concert of all time. Home fucking run setlist. The National Anthem as the 6th song was like a line drive to left field, by the time they got to Street Spirit it was at the wall and then the 3 encores were them rounding the bases.
This is up there with Paul McCartney Bonnaroo 2013 as my 2 favorite concerts ever.

Sometimes I think about how unlikely it is that a band like Radiohead has achieved the popularity they have. I mean, they clearly have a great pop sensibility, but they aren't afraid to completely deconstruct that pop sensibility into almost unrecognizable parts, and yet critics and fans alike still consume and love it.
Has any other band as weirdly creative as Radiohead ever made it to the level of selling out arenas regularly? The only other comparison I've been able to draw is Pink Floyd.

They're a good band.
in my gross oversimplification of popular music, i always say it comes down to good songs.
I wouldn't say just good songs, it requires innovation. Both Pink Floyd and Radiohead are stellar at pushing boundaries in a way that actually sounds good. It also helps that both bands have multiple incredibly creative and talented songwriters that would deem the band incomplete without.

Tool.
NIN arguably as well.
Yes. Although, Bowie was pretty frickin weird. He transcended that to the point where someone might argue he's not, but that dude was weird.

I agree with all of these. All are weird and innovative artists who can write great pop songs that somehow appeal to a wider audience then other weird and innovative artists are able to.

I guess what I'm arguing is that it's surprising that the above acts achieved popularity in spite of their innovation, not because of it. There are as many innovative and musically important musicians as there are hairs on my head, but its rare for any of them to achieve mass appeal. I agree with the "actually sounds good" and "talented songwriters" portion of your statement, which I define as the ability to craft a great pop song.
What time did The Radioheads walk on stage for Atlanta show and how was the opener? On my way to dinner prior to Seattle show wanna know roughly when to go to the show and allow maximal drinking and food time

I remember it as 8:39. I tried to get there a little early, but due to my group's intoxicated series of ridiculous and inefficient steps to get to and through the venue, we had fallen ass backwards into being lucky enough to miss the dreaded opener and still get a great spot on the floor.
I dunno. I mean they are the greatest band in the world, and they have too many songs so some are bound to get missed... but closing a show with Fake Plastic Trees left me fake plastic depressed walking out the doors of key arena, and not on the high note I was hoping for. But whatever. Still an amazing show. The industrial sounding "Everythibg in its right place" is something to keep an eye on. Some cool unexpected things going on with this live show...

anybody have a link to the waste/sandbag ticketing page for berkeley night two 4/18? I'm getting that bug. I want to creep the website just in case last minute tickets are released...
if you are a waste/sandbag holder, you can get the link by logging in at tickets.sandbagtickets.com and then clicking the event in your order history. in your order history there is a link that says "View Event" which should bring you to the ticketing page, i'm just looking for that website address. Any help you could provide me would be amazing
what the fuck was that about?! those lyrics have always been so weird and I love them, but why did they do this now? is it a teaser or something?
OK Computer came out May 21, 1997. If you're bad at math, that means the 20th anniversary is less than three weeks away. The common assumption is something anniversary related is going down.
