sorry sonick, i wasn't online for most of the day so i couldn't answer your question.
 
 i got center rail in camden.  amazing show, once again.  highlights for me were "no surprises", a killer version of "the bends", "idioteque" straight in to "climbing up the walls", "jigsaw", and "go slowly".  i was about 8 feet away from the band.  got some ridiculous photos.

what he said....great show, good balance between the old stuff and the rainbows stuff, and it all sounded killer
 
 and the pit was great....really small, even at the back of the pit the view was great

no prob.  I ended up driving in from 295 and i hit about 20 minutes of traffic coming in. I left after Street Spirit and was at my house in Baltimore by 12:15am.   :)
 
  Radiohead is amazing because they never put a bad show.  and when comparing shows you can only compare how good each one was.  its tough and it usually ends up being based on other circumstances.  
 
   Nissan was not the best because of the weather.  Even though i was not "in" the weather, it made the whole experience of going to a show less fun.  
 
    This show was great partly because i was with old friends, partly because they played The Bends, which in now 10 times seeing them i have  managed to never hear live until last night.
 
   I had a seat about 6 rows dead center from the and left for the lawn 4 songs in cause the crowd SUCKED.  buncha boring fools. You think DC doesnt dance!
 
   the Lawn was great, plenty of room and crazy people and the view of the bridge / philly is really sweet from out there too!
 
   All In All, way better than APW festival (which sucked big time....i posted a long rant about its lameness and when i went to post it my connection at worke failed and i lost it all, and didnt feel like retyping it.)

not my ultra favourite song to be honest. though they killed it when i saw them play it at Coachella. As they were off the first time, i tried to think of what song i would stay for that would be worth sitting in 2 hours of traffic leaving the venue in....and i came up with Street Spirit.
 
   in other news, House of Cards is now tied with Jigsaw for best song on In Rainbows.

well, it is radiohead... not exactly dance music   :)   but i get your point that some folks are pretty boring at shows.

cool.  i like HoC, but apparently a lot of RH fans don't.  claim it's a momentum-killer whenever they play it.  i disagree.

I am doing my best to withhold from an all out rant at this terribly off-base comment you made.
 
   For one to call themselves a fan of both Radiohead and dance music and then to make this statement is ludicrous and flat out crazy.

We had some crazy rain with flooding in Baltimore this afternoon. Was wondering if there was any chance that Radiohead drove through town on their way to their next gig?

hehehe.  they're playing in mansfield (boston) at this very moment, so from camden they headed north last night/this morning.  you're going to have to blame someone/something else.

for the record, they didn't do a full True Love Waits at LA night 2. They just did it as a brief intro to EIIRP.
 
 I still think Bristow had the best setlist.

I know, but it was the most complete version of it that they'd done on the tour. It was so unexpected and brilliant. They didn't soundcheck that day, so NO one knew what would come. It was brilliant!
 
 Chula Vista was a close 2nd in terms of performance/setlist. The stretch from Talk Show Host through Where I End and You Begin into Weird Fishes was magnificent. I just wish they did Like Spinning Plates like they'd planned to!
Woof.

Soooo...who's in for Mexico City on March 15-17th??
 
 I just saw it. Right now, there's a flight from American Airlines on Priceline from BWI to Mexico City for $398 R/T...just sayin!
 
 These dates are rumored to be with Sigur Ros, btw. Sweetcell, you there?
 
 (SXSW is 3/18-22, for all interested parties, so it's totally do-able)
Woof.
