I saw them at the United Center once, from a box that was BEHIND the stage?!? Luckily they didn't have any screens and turned around to face us a lot, but it was still weird.<BR/><BR/>Regarding your friend of a friend who knows the Radiohead bassist, my husband can NEVER learn about this--he would die of jealousy!<BR/><BR/>Kristyn - I am glad you saw them and that it was great... the mellowness was what I experience when I saw them in Chicago at a smaller theater last year, so at least I will always have those good memories.<BR/><BR/>Olnumba7 - You are brave! Maybe if you saw them again now you would get caught up in it and make your way into the madness again.... you never know!<BR/><BR/>Ariel - Luckily I HAVE seen Radiohead before (there's an old post about it from last year), and I agree, it was great. I will definitely try to see them again in the future, as long as it's a "normal" venue.<BR/><BR/>- eErika (aka "e")https://www.blogger.com/profile/17051946388926947935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-14220564060371667112008-08-19T18:28:00.000-05:002008-08-19T18:28:00.000-05:00Hey little e ...Just a little neener from a friend...Hey little e ...<BR/><BR/>Just a little neener from a friends computer. Spoke with my sister who said that a friend of hers asked her if she wanted to go see Radiohead (she did) and when they mentioned that to another friend - it turns out she knows the bassist really well - so that turns into why don't you just hang out backstage with everybody. So ... backstage passes for Radiohead. How cool is that?<BR/><BR/>The Other EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-52238209286325692542008-08-10T14:14:00.000-05:002008-08-10T14:14:00.000-05:00I went to the Radiohead show in Montreal.MYGOD WAS...I went to the Radiohead show in Montreal.<BR/><BR/>MYGOD WAS IT AWESOME.<BR/>Yeah and the crowd was really mellow there too, so it was great.<BR/><BR/>Though, survival mode is fun sometimes. <BR/><BR/>If you have the chance to, go see them (Radiohead) they are worth every last penny.

The crowd kind of takes on a life of it's own, and the only choice you have is to go forward, or like The Other E said, go into survival mode and try to burrow out. It's pretty intense, but it was fun back in my younger days. Now, I think I'd be right about where you pointed out in your post! Anyway, love your writing, and keep up the good work!OlNumba7https://www.blogger.com/profile/14101809623244321102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-74556926468229332492008-08-07T11:56:00.000-05:002008-08-07T11:56:00.000-05:00Hi E!

It was fantastic, and I think you would have enjoyed the Indy show, the crowd was reeeeally mellow. It was awesome. <BR/><BR/>My brother also saw GirlTalk at lolla this weekend and said it was awesome!

The girlfriend and I kept sneaking closer and closer to the stage as the time neared for them to go on ... and when they did ... the whole crowd seemed to collapse and pack towards the stage to the point where you literally could not even move or raise your hands or anything. Brutal. Not to mention the combined heat of all the people hitting all at once. Dehydration city. Girl-friend had enough so she just snuck in behind me in a death grip and I just burrowed my way physically in survival mode 100 yards or so to fresh air. I suppose that is part of the experience but it just isn't fun. Nice to see a band live but sometimes not worth he hassle - I guess depending on the venue.<BR/><BR/>The Other EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
