Live: Radiohead @ Ford Amphitheatre 5-6-08

Well, I saw Radiohead on Tuesday night. I’m not sure exactly how exciting this is, because I have no ticket left over (besides an e-ticket), no good pictures and not very good video. I’m waiting on some better quality stuff from a friend who got up to the seventh row. We actually sat in the lawn, which is all the way in the back. Where you can drink, smoke, and get to the loo easily, so it was worth it.

The show was awesome. Apparently the boys had requested that the two side video screens toRadiohead not be used, but they used their own that were on stage behind them. So you could see Thom’s crazy eye and everything. (I don’t know if this important to you, but his eye was very important to the friend I went with).

I feel like seating, obviously, is super important. Especially at a show like this. Radiohead had electric curtains of some kind, that lit up with all sorts of colors and strange patterns. Which was awesome, but I’m sure it would have been way more awesome and trippy if it was happening like 20 feet away from my face.

So the high energy was all up front, and the chill was all in my lap, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the show. What was also awesome about chilling in the lawn was that for certain songs, if I chose, I could just lay back on the blanket and stare at the stars while Thom Yorke and the boys played me their music. Pretty fucking sweet.

They opened with ‘All I Need’. Do I have a setlist? No. I can tell you they played Weird Fishes, Reckoner, Fake Plastic Trees, Bodysnatchers, House of Cards, and Videtape. I think they played Nude. They played Idioteque. I know they didn’t play much from OK Computer, because a different friend was a little disappointed by that. But what you gonna do? I have special requests, too. Like In Limbo. Love that song.

It was a good, chill show. I have seen Radiohead. CHECK.

Enjoy some short, bad-quality video.
