Yes, Radiohead Again

Colin posted the following to Radiohead’s Dead Air Space:
To everyone who made it, and put up with the torrents on the lawn, and came early to catch the Liars and our show, thank you so much for braving the deluge. I hope you heard what you came for, the music and lights diverting you from the wet. We got out of there around three am, and the pic shows Jonny waiting in the loading bay whilst the water streams across the tarmac. We’ve had floods at Bull Creek, lightning at the RFK stadium, so there must be some kind of Biblical fix between us and DC. Frogs next time?
So I guess the band knows how tough it was, but either doesn’t know how many people were locked out or doesn’t have an idea of what to do yet. At least he acknowledged how much DC has been screwed with regards to the band.
Meanwhile, Nissan Pavillion is taking contact info for anyone who calls and says they couldn’t get in; I have a feeling they know how big of a clusterfuck it all was and plan to do something to compensate us. Give them a call if you were in the same boat as me: 7037546400.
Hopefully this will be my last post on the matter… But I really wish I’d seen the show. The band played Lucky, Paranoid Android, Karma Police, Planet Telex, Just, and Fake Plastic Trees(!) in addition to a number of Kid A tracks, all of In Rainbows, and a few of the In Rainbows B-sides… Fuck.

I think Nissan Pavillion’s lawyers are taking a long, hard look at if charging that $6 parking fee on every ticket makes them responsible for guaranteeing auto access to the actual venue. If they’re the “responsible party”, I wouldn’t be surprised if they float some kind of discount for future events or parking fee refund as a way to TRY to smooth out the situation…which would of course be pointless and insulting since no one who sat through last night will ever return to that venue. In the end I think they’ll just hide behind the cops and county, but who knows…
