You americans. You never really experienced Radiohead until you see them live outside of your boring country. I´ve seen RH 26 times live. I was even at the show at the Hollywood Bowl sitting next to Brad Pit and friends chick and Ed Norton and Salma. I was at the Coachella show where they DID play Creep and actually met Tom backstage as he was checking the site while the Pixies where playing. Benicassim FIB with MUSE, all over Spain, London, France, Germany… the best RH shows are in Europe becasue it is just so much relaxed and free. Yes Dallad is the lamest city in the world, and texas for all I care. I feel sorry for all of you who will never leave your stupid country.

I’ve seen all the youtube videos and looks like a hell of a concert! Amazing! I wish they would come over to Greece and I really wouldn’t care about the setlist. I hear you all moan and can’t get it, really… U’re so lucky having seen them. Appreciate it at least.

Dollars and Cents - YES!

Great setlist, although eliminating Idioteque is unacceptable…

I had a blast but I was with first timers so I mostly enjoyed watching them enjoy the show. I was genuinely concerned about the setlist until the first encore. There was a ton of overlap with Houston ‘03.

Todd,
That wasn’t traffic from the concert, there was actually a car to car shooting on the freeway that caused the backup. I ended up detouring around it going through downtown Dallas (thanks to my GPS) and got there in plenty of time.

great set, and a good show that ended up not being worth the trouble. My girlfriend and I left Denton at 630 figuring we didn’t really care to see the opening band and we have lawn tix so we’ll just sit near the back anyway.

We cruise down I35 with no problems. Get 1 mile from I30 when the traffic starts. We hit the traffic at about 700 that evening and we’re about 4 miles from the venue. We pull in to the parking lot of the venue at ten minutes after nine. The worst traffic jam I’ve ever experienced in my life. And I’ve evacuated for hurricanes so I’ve seen my share of traffic jams.

Seems the venue had ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC entering from our direction. So we ended up missing the first 5 songs. We stood at the back of the lawn and it just amazed me how many people were at this show who were just looking to walk around and hang out. We really enjoyed the show mind you, but it didn’t compare at all to when I saw Radiohead in New Orleans on their last tour. That was in a much better venue with better sound, and a venue that was much easier to actually get to. So in the end it was a great set, lackluster sound system, terrible venue.
