Slowfaller 0 #1 June 22, 2006 Ed O'Brien, from Radiohead, put Ginny and me on the list for Tuesday night's show in Chicago. 5th frickin' row! It was such a wonderful surprise from Ginny's brother, George, who went to Monday's show and got backstage. He was telling Ed how is heart went out to the two of us for not being able to get tickets even though we were online right when tickets went on sale. What nice people, George for scoring us the tickets and Ed for actually putting us on the band's list. The show was amazing, a lot of new stuff. Sounds great. Looks like their next dates are at Berkley. If you're going you won't be disappointed. Crappy cell phone pics will be posted in the morning. A 2 piece called, "The Black Keys" opened up, very good too, gonna order their disc. They sounded like Local H with a Credence Clearwater Revival flair.

caz 0 #3 June 22, 2006 I saw them at Glastonbury in 2003, they were amazing live. Only gripe I have about it was that they flat out refused to play Creep, despite the whole crowd (60,000 ish) all yelling for it. Spoilsports! Other than that they were fantastic yeah. ~~~ London Skydivers ~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowfaller 0 #4 June 22, 2006 I saw them in 2003 also my first time. Don't think they played creep and they definitly didn't play it this time. No worries though, that song is played out in my mind. During their 2nd encore i was shouting Idioteque but it landed on deaf ears. National Anthem was played instead, equally good song --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, i kind of respect them for their attitude. They make and play music for the sake if making and playing music. Their goal is to please no one but themselves. I like that. I watched a documentary type thing on them called "meeting people is easy" and i loved when they were interviewing the band after a show and they said to them: "did you know that Sting and Tom Cruise were in the crowd tonight?" The guys replied "no, i hope they enjoyed the show". Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
