Radiohead, Night 2 Toronto


Finally got to see my fav group Radiohead last night in TO. Amazing concert in a relatively small venue ... good acoustics. Never expected they would sing Fake Plastic Trees.

I don't think I can ever listen to them again on disc on my system.

Saw them 2 yrs. ago in Philadelphia. One the best arena concerts I've seen, equal to the Who and the Clash in their prime.

How was the light show? Last time I saw them was at Maple Leaf Gardens. The light show was amazing but the sound was so bad.

I'm so looking forward to Thom's solo album coming out in July.
Dogpile,

The light and stage set up was fairly simple and modern. If you go to the news on pitchforkmedia.com you can see a picture of the stage:

Above the band were those multiple, polygonal white screens on top of which multiple, distorted, black and white videos of the band members were projected on each screen. At one point, Thom Yorkes face was dissected into little pieces which were projected on each screen ...(e.g. his eye on one etc.) That was the most effective. Otherwise not a lot of special effects. Johnny stood far off to the right of the stage, but was amazing. The sound back at row V was great, although I have never been a fan of the Hummingbird centre (O'Keefe). Luckily for opera fans, the new Opera house opens this weekend. I don't know why they picked that venue, as opposed to other 'small' venues for this mini tour.

As for the solo album, you can torrent a copy of the leaked version on the internet (torrentspy.com), so you don't have to wait to July to hear it. Typical Nigel Goodrich production.
