Not sure how I did this, but, despite the best efforts of Ticketbastard crashing my web browser, I still somehow got a great ticket this past Saturday morning for Radiohead at the Nissan Pavilion on May 11th. (Now the show is sold out.)
I'm in section 101, behind "the Pit", a general admission, SRO mass huddle for the youthfully disaffected. Normally, I'd stand, but, since I'm in my mid-thirties now, I'll take a nearby seat with a great view if it's available. (Plus I can still bang my head up and down during "Planet Telex" or "The Bends", should the guys roar through those now 13 year-old riffs.)
I last saw Radiohead in 2003 on the Hail to the Thief tour. That concert was at Merriweather Post Pavilion, and I was on the lawn. I decided this time to go for broke and get a better seat, which I did. Better still is I didn't remotely go broke - top tier tickets were only $61. Quite reasonable in this day of egregiou$ re$ale$ on $tubhub.com or wherever else people go to get raped by the concert industry.
I definitely want to hear "Fake Plastic Trees" live, since they didn't play it the other time I saw them. Though I've never tried to quantify them, that may be my single favorite song from the 90s:
Or maybe it's just top ten. The point is, if I don't they don't perform it in concert this spring, knives out, Jonny Greenwood. There Will Be Blood!
