So as i am digging up information on this issue of environmentally sound touring, I am trying to decide what measures they could have taken but didnt, other than that of picking LiveNation to book their tour.
I did see were plenty of recycling locations in Nissan Pavilion.
Also, I want to make note that one of the reasons I parked so close and got out of the venue so fast was that I had 4 people in my car and thus was shuffled off into the "carpool lot". This allowed for the escape i made and an easy (as easy as it was) walk to and from the car.
I realize this is a Live Nation (or Nissan) thing and not something just in place for the Radiohead show but it MAY have been part of the reason Radiohead went with LiveNation to book their tour.
Also, per Radiohead's website WTMB or whatevr, the Globe was offering some kind of carpool matchmaking service for the show and if you offered your car and took 3 or more people , you got a commemorative poster.
I am still looking into the ways Radiohead themselves cut carbon corners in their show. (other than the recycled aluminum lights) but clearly their study found that MOST of the problem lies with the patrons and venues.
Its a topic i am much interested in now, and wondering what steps were or could have easily been taken, and maybe werent.
I do find it odd that Radiohead declined to play Glastonbury due to poor public transport issues yet played Nissan, who seems to have poor transportation issues all around!!
But i think to a European, all of the US has poor public transportation.
