For one thing, the concert was too quiet. Granted, the only seats available to me when I bought my tickets were seats towards the back, I should still be able to hear the concert well. I shouldn’t be able to whisper to my friend standing next to me saying “Isn’t this a bit quiet?” and have him hear it perfectly. I have never attended a concert where I couldn’t feel the bass in my chest, and where I could hear the quiet argument about beer two rows in front of me better than the songs I paid $60 to see.

Aside from that, I found the set list to be questionable. Prior to the show I remember talking with my friends about whether the concert would be a “sitter” or a “stander.” We guessed “stander” and we were right, though for the wrong reasons. There are many people who love Radiohead…some people love the more melodic ambient tunes, others like the guitar and lyric driven songs. The whole concert seemed unbalanced and absent of more mainstream fan favorites. Yes…go ahead…I know you want to call me “NOT A TRUE FAN!!!” for wanting to hear more of the mainstream hits, but honestly. The thing ran an hour and a half and they had time for maybe 2 upbeat, rock/techno hits? Come on. Next time, you real fans who love concerts like this, please at least sit down so I can dose off of my feet instead of on them.

I was utterly impressed. This was my 3rd radiohead show.
