<sniff> I smell 2 nights at Constitution Hall.

Call me crazy, but I think a Radiohead show at Constitution Hall would actually be very cool.  Assuming the sound would be ok, I think it'd be a fine place to absorb a Radiohead show.

I don't think good sound is possible at constitution.

I'm still betting on the Strathmore, similar to what Sigur Ros did.

That would be my second choice.

it would be nice to be able to catch radiohead within 300 miles of my house, but i wouldn't go to DAR for it.  i'd rather travel to philly or elsewhere than go to dar.  and i didn't like the tower theater when i went.
 
 i'm eyeing the SF shows.

i thought rh was a big band.  on the level of mci arena or merriweather/nisson or at least patriot ctr.  ch seems too small.

they certainly are, but they seem to be avoiding arena one offs in favor of two night stints at smaller venues.  if they are playing the Auditorium in Chicago, for example, why not play at the United Center or the Allstate Arena?
 
 I think they prefer the acoustics of the theaters.

i was thinking it had something to do with them not being on a label at the moment and not having label $ to produce an arena/amphitheatre show.
 
 that is a complete guess on my part.

The tower holds about as many people as DAR. Maybe a few hundred more.

Normally, they are.  They played Merriweather last time around.  Did that sell out?  I know the reserved seating was filled.
 
 However, this appears to be a get-out-of-the-studio-and-experiment type tour.  Not exactly a big scale tour.

after reading six million and three radiohead articles/sites etc...i am now guessing DC doesnt even get a show on this tour.
 
   so pack your bags for Philly people!
