Oh my word what a show. I got there four hours early to already find a good size line of people waiting to be let into the show, luckily as soon as me and my three other companions were let in we ran to as close as we could get which was damn close. The openers were alrihgt, Beta Band played a really cool set while Kid Koala's was kind of boring. But thats just my opinion. When Radiohead came out everyone went crazy, and it stayed that way through the whole set. Some of the best songs they played were Exit Music, My Iron Lung, and Idioteque. They finished off with the tourist which was brilliant. I went expecting a great show, and i got even more. The complete setlist was (in no particular order): 1. The Bends 2. My Iron Lung 3. Street Spirit 4. Airbag 5. Paranoid Android 6. Exit Music 7. Karma Police 8. No Surprises 9. Lucky 10. The Tourist 11. Everything in its Right Place 12. The National Anthem 13. How To Disappear Completly 14. Idioteque 15. Morning Bell 16. Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box 17. Pyramid Song 18. You and Whose Army 19. I Might Be Wrong 20. Knives Out 21. Dollars and Cents 22. Like Spinning Plates 23. An Unreleased Song everyone knew except me. I will go see them again anytime for any price. -milo

16-08-2001 Liberty State Park New Jersey USA Imagine what it's like to be able to play a song that you wrote and have thousands of people dancing and singing along.  This is what Thom, Phil, Johnny, Ed and Colin must have felt on stage.     We got to the park at around 5 and we managed to get lost.  We finally found the parking lot about an hour later. We piled out of the car and started to party.  When we felt it was time, we marched over to the gates.  The guy ripping the tickets ripped my stub up real bad and that pissed me off.  I shoved my semi-stub into my pocket and walked on.  We bought some t-shirts and food and waited for music.      Beta Band came on at like 8:15 and I don't really remember if they were good or not.  My friends all said they were pretty decent.  Kid Koala must have come on at around 8:45 - 9:00.  He mixed up some really good tunes. He spun some Pulk/Push Revolving Doors and some Monty Python music.  After a while, the crowd stared to get tired of him.  When he finished everyone moved to the front of the grass, closest to the stage.  For what seemed like an eternity, we waited.      Finally, at around 10 Radiohead took the stage.  They opened with an insanely distorted bass song (National Anthem).  Then they played Morning Bell (Kid A Version).  That was really killer.  After this, I can't remember what order the songs were, but I know that they played these: my iron lung, lucky, pyramid song, paranoid android, karma police, no surprises, the tourist, the bends, everything in its right place, packt like sardines, i might be wrong, exit music, idioteque, dollars & cents, knives out, street spirit (fade out), how to dissapear completely and probably a couple of others.      The whole time, you could just feel the energy coming from both the crowd and the band.  Thom had to start Lucky over and no one seemed to mind.  It was such an energetic and emotion filled performance.  The crowd was moving and singing along with thoms intoxicating voice.  on the big screens, thom played with the camera and the crowd enjoyed it.      Well anyway, im rambling.  I guess you really had to be there to even come close to knowing what its like.  It was a feeling.  It was a really really good feeling.     My only complaint is that the State Park Officials made us give them our beer.  That sucked.     THE QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:  "PHIL RULES"   Also, Thom wrote a new song that isnt recorded yet.  He played it and everyone was really moved.  That was cool.
