It turns out that the Radiohead show in VA the other day was so bad its made national news (at least in the music-snob circles).
The show itself was great (everyone seems to agree) but the logistics of the event were such that lots of folks missed the show entirely. Not cool, Nisaan Pavilion, not cool.
There is a WaPo article linked in the pitchfork piece, and it makes reference to Radiohead's bad DC luck through the years. I was actually at RFK back in 1998 when Radiohead was supposed to play at the Tibetan Freedom Concert...but apparently Tibetan Freedom was less important to some people than safety, because a measly 2 people in the stadium got struck by lightning and they called the whole thing off. Radiohead played a make up gig on day 2 of the festival, but I only had tickets to day 1.
Of course I did catch Radiohead in Berkeley in 2006, and that was an experience I'll never forget. Nothing quite like seeing your favorite band perform in the the same on-campus stone amphitheater you graduated in, a mere 5 minute walk from your apartment and a 2 minute walk from your business school.
Adam--did you (successfully or not) attempt a trip out to the Pavilion to see Radiohead this go-round?

Rain down on Radiohead

I was lucky enough to be part of this delightful experience. I braved the torrential rain and ended up spending five hours listening to radiohead in my car. I literally pulled into the Nissan parking lot as they finished the last song of the encore. Then I got into another line of cars trying to leave. It was, needless to say, not the most fun concert I've ever been to.

Thanks for the link, Clarence. It would seem that God doesn't want any of the three of us (Adam, Clarence, me) ever seeing radiohead in the greater DC metropolitan area...
