Radiohead on Saturday

Anybody go?

Thought they were excellent again, although from where i was sitting (way up in the back of the MEN Arena ) the sound could have been a bit better. They played for two hours, though, which is good value - and they played "Street Spirit (fade out)" and "Paranoid Android" which are my favourite tunes of theirs.

Boss atmosphere, a few "smokes" and a treacherous 1 & 1/2 hour drive back (girlfriend drove, i was a bit "tired and emotional") all contributed to a good night out.

Deffo smokin' 2 hour head wreckin' Radiohead gigs followed by scary fogbound road fear !!

I was sat in the lower tier just to the left of the stage, fuckin' excellent seats. I thuoght 'Lucky', 'Paranoid Android' and 'Fake Plastic Trees' were the highlights myself. I've seen them a few times now but the MEN arena concerts have been the best.
Loved the way he carried on 'Karma Police' with the crowd too.
That fog was fuckin' dodgy though, wasn't it? Luckily my mate's bird picked us up.

Went for a piss during "Fake Plastic Trees", took about an hour to get back to my seat, i was well out of breath.

How good is Jonny Greenwood ? The guy can do anything. Even "playing" the transistor radio during "The National Anthem" (another highlight). Keyboards, guitar, spooky star trek sounding thing, transistor radio - the guy's onstage talent knows no bounds.

Wish i'd have been closer this time.

Still scared by the fog.
