Radiohead at the Greek
I went to see Radiohead at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley a few weeks ago with Nick, John, and Dan. This was my first time seeing Radiohead live, and wow, was it incredible. I feel like I should be able to write more about this show, but words can't do it justice. When they left the stage prior to the first encore, I couldn't believe they had already been playing for over an hour. Fortunately they came back for a 5 song encore, and a 2 song second encore.
Highlights of the show included the Paranoid Android, No Surprises, The Gloaming run in the middle of the set; True Love Waits transitioning seamlessly into Everything In Its Right Place; opening with Airbag; and the new song Bodysnatchers.
Here's the full set list.
I cannot wait to see Radiohead again. And if at all possible, I want to catch both shows the next time they are around. Normally I'm skeptical of seeing a band twice in a row, but given that there was pretty much zero overlap with their set the previous night, it would definitely be worth it. And if you've never seen them before, I highly recommend you do so as soon as possible.
