Fortunately I was spared since I was supposed to go the second day, but I remember that downpour, it was unreal. Yeah, 7 years ago...good times.

Be glad you didn't get in.  It is still depressing to think about what an unbelieveable show that would've been.

I've heard of reviewing shows you weren't at.
 
 But reviewing shows that didn't happen; that takes the cake.

Let's just say that for those of us that got there at 10 am in the 90 degree heat w/ people being carted away for sunstroke at the rate of about 2-3 every hour followed by monsoon-style rain that created a lake nearly waist deep in places where all of us parked, irony doesn't even begin to describe it.

Yeah, it was almost as hypothetically awesome as the Decemberists' long & short of it tour.

what's worse - radiohead is so big that thom could take a shit and it's rapture . . . or the fact that they're so big and you care what they do or don't do.

 Millie Jackson taking a dump on stage, now THAT would be rapturous. Just imagine...the tour could be sponsored by Glade and Charmin, and her roadies will leave rolls of toilet paper out for her. Now that would be a show.

Seeing Radiohead (as well as Thievery Corporation) in what was really a glorified park would've been amazing, having seen them at Merriweather and Coachella.  Just because it didn't actually happen doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on it...

Why do people feel it necessary to sway people to not go? Yeah, state your opinion, but no one wants to hear you fuckers whine about how much a venue sucks. I'm still gonna go, others will, others won't.

It doesn't look so much to me that anyone is trying to "sway" people not to go as much as just voice their dislike for Nissan and the traffic issues surrounding the place. I for one tend to agree with most of the posters here that it would have to be something so incredibly worth while to get me to sit in that traffic wasting gas outside of Nissan. Personally I'd love to see Radiohead, but not enough to go to Nissan. For others it may be worth it, just not for me.

I saw them at Merriweather a few years ago.  It was amazing.  Not the show itself but something they did AT the show.  They performed something really, really weird.  Not like anything else they did that night.  I believe it was called a "tune."  I think it was called "Creep."

i took my shirt off long before i announced that the show was canceled, and because it was wet.  it had nothing to do with badassitude.  if it helped stop a riot, so be it.

We were all wet, some of us more than others.
