Last night i went to see the might Radiohead at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, and i was not dissappointed. There was a lot of waiting around, i couldn't move and my back was killing by the end of it but I'd still say it was worth it. Thom Yorke is great, he put loads into the performance and his vocals were so so clear, they are all amazing musicians, Johnny Greenwood is brilliant at everything and wears cool clothes and has good hair haha.. Nude was beautiful, Fake Plastic Trees, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Lucky and Paranoid Android were the other highlights for me.. but there were so many other songs I didn't know which were also all good. It was good to see them because they are untouchable really, in a way Oasis can never be, and they don't tour very often either. The crowd wasn't the best, a lot of older couples just standing and quite a few obnoxious people so I'm not sure if it was worth the £50 i paid, as it wasn't as good as the Arctic Monkeys were at the same venue in summer. But still a very good night.
The lights were the best I've ever seen at a gig, absolutely unbelievable, i got this photo from someone's flickr.
Support were MGMT (for the kids) and Bat For Lashes (absolute freak)
