It is unlikely any of you guys knew this,but I was at Radiohead last Thursday! I didn't say it to anyone because I didn't know I was going until the night before...A friend had to pull out,so he gifted his ticket to me.What a nice guy,eh?...Pretty lucky for me,too,as I was seriously considering talking the day off work in protest of my non-attendance...Instead I had to call in sick,as I was over 200 miles from work,in a bunk in a hostel!:P

It's been over two years since I last saw Radiohead,and it was nice to see that they still put on a hell of a show.Opening with Airbag and The National Anthem really set the pace for the rest of the night,pretty much all the classics,plus a few new ones for good measure...Just was incredible,Climbing Up The Walls was beautiful,if a little unexpected,and Pyramid Song had me rapt with awe...the new ones are good portents for the next album,too,especially Bangers and Mash(love the title!).

Beck was supporting,and what little I saw of him was really enjoyable,especially the puppet show which I am sure will be up on YouTube or something bofore long.He finished on E-Pro,which is my favourite  of his,so it was nice to dance like a goon whilst I tucked into my chicken baguette!

The atmosphere around the place was really nice and relaxed,with everyone drinking their little plastic glasses full of Heineken and white wine...far classier than you get at festivals!

My only gripe was with the bus service to the gig...Dublin Bus had put on a shuttle bus service to it,which was nice of them,but they took the most abvious(and therefore,most traffic-light filled and busiest) route to get there,with the result that an 8 kilometre journey took an hour and 45 minutes...Stupid,really,but what can you do?

Afterwards,there was the obligatory "session" with the boys,but I'd best not say how that ended up...I'll just use the words "gatecrash","prostitute","policeman" and "petty vandalism"...That should sum it up nicely enough!:P
