Going to see Radiohead tomorrow night!
 
Man, I've been loving this band since like 1995 or so...
although I'm not as much of a diehard as I used to be, it's still going to be a blast.

I'm wearing my long-forgotten Radiohead tee right now and pretending to be a real fan :)

Hell yeah man....have fun. I could be crazy, but didn't you say you have the "Don't tell me what kind of day to have" Radiohead shirt from around the time The Bends came out? I have that one too, but I always feel like a weird asshole when I used to wear it.

_slavo_ 08.11.2006 05:08 AM

Yeah, you remember well, that was The Bends era.

I got that shirt in like 1996, I still think it's a classic one, although it's rather ripped by now :-)

when i saw radiohead it was probably one of the best shows i have ever been to, up there with ravi. i had to fight my way through crowds of stupid people, but it was totally worth it to be up super close to the stage, wearing nothing but a sarong and tripping my face off on fungus. oh, bonnaroo...

but yeah... have an awesome time. all the new radiohead songs totally kick ass, i love the direction they're going ( weirder but rocking harder than ever) and their stage show is, as always, fucking unbelievable.

_slavo_ 08.14.2006 02:21 AM

oh yes, and thats exactly how it was. fucking INCREDIBLE. The show lasted 130 minutes, they played 22 songs, lots of old stuff (Bones, Fake Plastic Trees, Street Spirit, Lucky, Karma Police, Paranoid Android, Airbag, No Surprises, Exit Music,....), Yorke in a cheerful mood and generally great atmosphere. Sometimes a little bit too much I guess (too crowded, lack of air, agressive people), but ok to handle.

I guess they're still one of the best live bands currently around.

just a small glimpse:

i was there too.

_slavo_ 08.14.2006 07:58 AM

Igen, on Sziget.
I loved the concert. Also dEUS was pretty good live earlier that day.

Bal 08.14.2006 09:22 AM

are u still here?
i live quite near to sziget, also have a weekly pass we could hook up!

have never met anyone from any message board in my life that could be fun (not that i post on so many message boards)

_slavo_ 08.14.2006 10:11 AM

nope mate,
the rest of sziget i could give a fuck about.
I arrived at 5pm, saw dEUS and Radiohead, drank 7 beers and left for first train to Bratislava at 6am next morning.

by the way, I saw one guy in black Goo Tshirt there....you, by chance?

Bal 08.14.2006 09:29 PM

haha i think i have seen that guy as well but it wasnt me!
i just saw the orb tonite and it was an absolutly amazing show!

sziget rules btw. pretty drunk right now.

I love y'all !

Protectmeyou 08.15.2006 04:40 AM

sounds like a great gig. their albums may be on the decline, but they can still put on an amazing display of music live........

be pretty hard not to with that many great songs and Jonny Greenwood in the band!!

alyasa 08.15.2006 06:03 AM

Uhm... Thanks for sharing the download. For the first 4 or 5 tracks, I hear mostly some drunk Hungarian guy karaoke-ing to Radiohead... I didn't listen anymore after that. But, thanks anyway... :) Lucky bastards...
