I'm gonna try for one of the MSG shows. What is bad about seeing shows there? Are the acoustics crappy?

JFC, the pre sale event sold out today before I could buy anything for NYC. I'll try in a few hours for the LA show on 8/8.

Got in the presale queue at 5 seconds after open, not good enough. Had pit tickets in Boston last time so I can't really justify complaining that hard, but still a bit disappointed. Here's hoping for some nosebleeds on friday.

No poo poo I was hitting refresh like a madman and then I clicked on get tickets and got the queue. I'll try at 1pm for the LA show. I remember back in 2003 I got the WASTE presale tickets for the Seattle show and they were freaking fantastic. I could have thrown something and hit the band I was so close.

I hated, hated TKOL and I have been a fan since 1997. I have been warming up to it recently, though. I respect them for trying new things. Didn't get the pre-sale for LA either. What a goat ****.

Just for the hell of it I looked for tickets on stubhub. It was way worse than I thought.

Will people really pay 4 digits to see RH? I hate ticket scalpers. I hope they all have long, painful deaths.

Congrats you guys with tix. I'm still in the queue for LA tix but I know it's hopeless. I had to think, I've seen RH 4x already and the last time was 10 years ago in Chicago! Time flies!

Yeah the place in LA seats like 6400? Why not play at a bigger place? They could sell 10x the tickets. Ah well, I just have sour grapes. Wasted an hour of my life today trying to get the LA 8/8 tix online today and I clicked buy tickets the second it came up. Maybe us losers will luck out and they'll add some more dates?

Nice write-up in USA Today

NEW YORK — With just a few mumbled words and some jittery dance moves, Thom Yorke did the seemingly impossible.

Playing to a sold-out crowd of nearly 20,000 ecstatic fans at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night, the grizzled Radiohead frontman took what is perhaps the band's most despondent album yet, A Moon Shaped Pool, and rendered it onstage as one of the year's most invigorating, can't-miss live shows. Running through almost the entire album (their ninth, released in May), the British rockers tested new arrangements that only got looser and more frenetic as they played: turning the anxiety-riddled Burn the Witch into a blazing stadium anthem, and the volatile Ful Stop into a head-nodding groove, which eventually erupted in a flurry of blistering guitar licks and crashing drums.

Despite plunging deep into Pool for much of the night, Yorke also sprinkled plenty of familiar favorites into the two-hour concert — a move that should continue to delight fans as Radiohead plays Madison Square Garden again Wednesday, and two more shows at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium next month. Among the highlights was In Rainbows opener 15 Step, which had Yorke skittishly darting across the stage to its syncopated rhythm. It was its first live appearance since Radiohead started playing European festivals earlier this summer. Kid A cuts Everything in its Right Place and Idioteque were markedly stripped down and sped up, as Yorke used a looping pedal to hypnotically live-mix and distort his vocals.

After some hushed "thank you's" from Yorke, and casual waves from keyboardist Jonny Greenwood and bandmates, Radiohead left the stage to roaring cheers, but returned just a few minutes later for no less than two encores. The first of which culminated in Rainbows' deflated Nude (a soaring vocal best from Yorke) and Bodysnatchers, which was easily the loudest, most rollicking performance of the night. While some concertgoers may have crossed their fingers for an appearance by Creep or the rarefied True Love Waits during the second, Yorke instead opted for the more subdued Bloom and Street Spirit (Fade Out) to send off the devoted just as the clock hit 11 p.m.

Tuesday's concert consisted primarily of hardcore fans wearing shirts emblazoned with the band's toothy-bear logo, as well as a thoroughly engaged mix of twenty- and thirtysomethings, who politely kept the waving smartphone screens to a minimum. Overall, the hits-heavy show is a welcome stateside return for Radiohead after a four-year absence, and should play well to broader audiences as Radiohead hits festivals including Lollapalooza and Outside Lands this next month.

Still interesting to see Street Spirit still at the end of their setlists after all these years. I wonder if it still emotionally drains Thom.

I'm almost positive this was the last song the first time I saw them back in Salem, OR in 1998. I thought at the time, what a perfect song to end the show and it was!

This is awesome, never seen them before and I don't think they ever come to Portland proper.

I saw them in Salem, OR way back in 1998. That was the closest I remember. Saw them at George, WA and Seattle, too. I'm gonna try for PDX also.

Did you get the floor standing tix or actual seats? I got thru and only got an offer for standing floor which I declined. I went back into the queue and got zilch. I don't want to stand for anyone. I'll try some other avenues.

Do they really check for CC verification when you go to the show? So if you buy tickets from someone you actually have to bring them with you when you get in so they can show their credit card?

Sep 15, 2007

Has anyone heard about venues selling new tickets day of? I read a story online about last year's LA show where they sold some tix day of, with people waiting in line, going to the ticket window and buying tickets day of. I'm flying to Portland next week for vacation and my brother and I are going to try this and also try to buy tickets from someone that may be going in themselves but may have extras. I really want to go but I don't want to be shafted with worthless resale tickets where they stop me at the door. I've called some ticket vendors and they guarantee entry but I've read numerous horror stories online as well. I've got tickets already for the New Pornographers and Coheed that week, but Radiohead is the show I really want to go to. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks for replies. My Bro called the Moda Center and they open the ticket window at noon day of show. They said it is likely, but not 100% sure extra tix will go on sale. The also said that floor and 100 level seats get the most scrutiny so 200 and 300 level must be more lenient from a resale point of view? Anyway, gonna try to see my fav band for the 5th time.

Just got back from the Atlanta show. Incredible. I saw my favorite band play my favorite song (Pyramid Song).

Do they have a good assortment of merchandise for sale at the show? Tell us more about the show! I want to peak at the setlist but I don't in case I get in. Want to be surprised.

PDX:
Couldn't have imagined it better if I tried. Golden moment was hearing I Might Be Wrong. Silver moment was an absolute ballin version of Bloom. Bronze moment was the shredding version of Burn The Witch. Runner up goes to Thom's eyeball during You and Whose Army.

TKoL songs sounded the best of everything, especially Bloom. Holy poo poo.

PDX show was really great, but the set list did not seem to flow very well in my opinion. Burn The Witch was absolutely the best song of the night. Both my brother and I looked at each other and said "WTF?" when they started Creep as their last song. I thought they hated that song.

I'm starting to think the pre-sale thing is complete bullshit. I refreshed my screen at 900am and then get 502 bad gateway 20x. 2 minutes later when I can get the screen to come up they are already gone. I'll still try for the general tix on sale Friday I guess?

Enjoyed the Columbus show WAYYYYYYYY more than Detroit. Detroit mix was kind of jacked up. Colin was the loudest of anyone and vocals seemed too low. Columbus had a lot of OK Computer and HTTT (Wolf At The Door!!!). Detroit actually had more T-shirts which was weird. I wanted to get one Monday night (that I saw Sunday night) and it wasn't there. Each city has their own commemorative shirt and poster which is kinda cool.

FYI both Little Caesars and the Schott opened at 6:30 and show time was 7:30. Opening band plays till 800. RH goes on 830-845 and plays till 11. Didn't care for the opening band, although Johnny plays guitar and bass during the performance.
